“We had a 9PM, Sunday reservation at Sora Craft Kitchen, and when we first pulled up, we genuinely thought we were at the wrong place. The surrounding area is very dark and industrial at night, there were barely any cars around, and from the outside you would never expect what’s waiting for you inside.
The second we walked in, it was a completely different atmosphere. It was quiet and super ambient. One thing that immediately surprised me was that it didn’t smell like at all. We were greeted by the chef himself, and seeing him prepare everything right in front of us made the experience even more special. He was essentially running the kitchen himself, yet every dish came out surprisingly fast, fresh, and beautifully prepared.
We started with the Dry-Aged Tenderloin Shish Kebab, and that alone immediately set the tone for dinner. The beef was incredibly flavorful and tender.
Then the chef brought out the Mastabe and PLEASE!! If you come here, ORDER THIS. It ended up becoming the staple of our entire dinner. It’s this creamy house-made yogurt, we literally started adding it to EVERYTHING. The garlicky, creamy freshness somehow complemented every meat and every dish without overpowering anything.
Next came the Siverek Tava, and this one completely blew me away. The combination of ground beef, tomato, and roasted eggplant was incredible. My boyfriend HATES eggplant. Like, refuses to order anything with eggplant level of hate. Even he was shocked at how good it was and how perfectly the eggplant worked with the beef. Huge props to the chef because changing someone's mind about an ingredient they swear they hate says a lot.
The Grilled Branzino came next and was a perfect change of pace. Simple, fresh, perfectly grilled, and topped with vegetables. After all the richer flavors, the fish felt light and refreshing while still having plenty of flavor.
Then we had the Icli Kofte, which might have been one of the biggest surprises of the night. I wasn't expecting such an explosion of flavor from this dish.
Our last savory dish was the Garlic-Spiced Kebab. At this point I was so full and genuinely thought there was no way I was going to finish another dish... and then I kept eating it. It was smoky, garlicky, juicy, and so flavorful that I literally couldn't stop.
And somehow we still made room for dessert.
We finished with the Cheese Halva with Yuzu–Black Sesame Ice Cream, and it was the PERFECT ending. The warm cheese halva practically melted in our mouths. While the ice cream had this refreshing flavor that reminded us of mint and pistachio. The pistachio pieces underneath added the perfect crunch and texture to balance everything out.
What impressed me most about Sora wasn't just one specific dish. It was how thoughtfully everything paired together. Every dish tasted completely different. Nothing felt generic or like something you could order at any other restaurant. You can genuinely taste the freshness and the amount of thought the chef puts into the flavors, textures, and pairings.
Don't let the location fool you. Once you walk through those doors, it's this little hidden gem where the food completely speaks for itself.
Mastabe is NON-NEGOTIABLE. Order it and put it on everything.
Such an amazing dinner and the perfect way to end our day. We left ridiculously full and already talking about coming back. Easily one of the best meals we've had so far.“

“How can I start this, I'm on a big quest to find the best burgers around the world, and I might say that this one stole the top spot with some ease. Nothing to stray you from what matters, great meat, fluffy bun and fresh salad, but what takes it to another level is the perfect level of salt here. Place was OK, nothing special, but it doesn't needed to be, thay have the best product and that's what matters! Congrats can wait to be back to LA to eat this again.“

“biscuits “sent from heaven” Keyshia Cole voice Stopped by John O’Groats for some pre archery lesson fuel. Off rip, I knew it was gonna be bomb because my boyfriend actually has great taste and recommended it. I mean why would I date him otherwise? But I still had to be the one to taste it to believe it. Those biscuits put them on the MAP! I had lost faith in biscuits & gravy in this city. I have been let down time and time again because it was so weak. But these gave me hope for the future 🥹 I could see this place being my breakfast new normal. So if you ever want to stop by there, hit me up beforehand and we can brunch together🫶🏼🍽️ this is the type of place I would have FOMO over“

“This place was absolutely amazing. Probably the best burger I have had in LA. Perfectly crispy smash burger and fries.
I got the classic burger combo and added lettuce, tomato, chopped chilies, and mustard. It's hard to impress me with a burger but this place absolutely blew me away.“

“I'm a big fan of Burger she Wrote. One of my top 5 places for burgers in LA and if your in town a must try. I'm looking forward to new location opening. But there is some major competition around the corner at Marathon just a block down the street that is always packed. Then NADC burger just opened up and that's hands down the best burger in LA. Hopefully Burger she Wrote is set on meeting the competition and the grilled cheese burger looks like a step in the right direction.“

“Solid burgers and hot dogs. Very straightforward and friendly staff and owner. They get it done. Onion rings and a burger with an orange bang. That’s my order. 16 bucks and the rest for tip.
I’m here once a week. But this week I was here three times.“

“Reasonably priced burgers in downtown LA! We had the boss burger and the vegan burger, both delicious--and don't forget the crispy, well seasoned fries :) Will definitely be returning. Just be warned that there is only outdoor seating, just a couple of tables that people share and leave after eating, so plan accordingly.“

The service was excellent, and the board was beautifully crafted. The cheeses and meats were fresh and delicious, and delivery was seamless and right on time. My guests absolutely loved it!

“Been waiting to try this Korean fried chicken place out. Went with a group of 4. Everyone agreed it was excellent, delicious spicy fried chicken. Prices were good for the quality and portion sizes. Everyone said they would come back - and bring their other friends. Great food option in the neighborhood.“

“Softies Burger is doing everything right when it comes to preparing a good burger. A good Smash burger, is prepared with love, patience and a little science behind it. Owners Josh and Sam are well on their way to become the next rising stars of the LA restaurant scene. Offering three different smash burgers (Cali, Aji, Crispy Shroom), with a variety of other options such as Caesar salad and wraps, not to mention they serve breakfast too! Try all three. Go for the loaded fries. I only wish they had one in Atlanta.“

“Ok so this is going to be a new thing for me, eating foods from a non traditional restaurant and my goodness I found a banger.
Frankin it Up. Let's start it the first category
Parking. Have to be honest here and say Parking is a nightmare tight streets /alleys
Only Parking on one side of the street. Its a mess but if you cant get dropped off plan to struggle alot to find parking. .5/10
The atmosphere is reminiscent of hanging out at a buddies house for a BBQ, but instead of having over cooked dried food because the cook has been cooking like crap for years. I got the pleasure of watching someone who is good at what they do and it happens be so delightful and delicious that its refreshing to experience it first hand.
The service was far beyond what I expected.
When I got there the owner, I believe his mane was or is Jeff, wasnt there his neighbor came out and asked me if youre waiting for Jeff, I answered why yes, yes I am. He then informed he that he got in the pool. Now when I tell you that I had the biggest laugh just to hear that the owner left his post and took a splash to cool down, I immediately knew this was the place to be. The neighbor told me he'll be out in 5 or 10 minutes and informed me that I could wait at the tables or in my car either way hes coming out. The service alone 100/10
Now let's get to the food.
You'd think frankin it Up would be a hot dog spot and you'd be partially correct Jeff did start with hotdogs but according to him that market is too saturated, so thats why he decided to use his 40+years of cooking in the restaurant industry to switch over and do burgers, wagu burgers. Me and my partner ordered the WCW and the Big Wag. Both came with grilled onions cherry tomatoes pickles and a burger sauce the only difference is that the WCW has bacon. The burgers were cooked to absolute perfection 100/10
Lets wrap this review up. Jason kelsey said this was the best burger spot in LA and id have to agree hands down. Frankin it Up 9.8/10“
