“The tasting menu is full of unique seafood dishes, and the portions are generous.”
“One of the best hidden gems in LA. I stumbled into this wine bar out of curiosity, and it quickly became one of my favorite places in the city—and now I’m a regular.
The wine selection is outstanding: an ever-changing, thoughtful assortment that goes beyond the usual bottles you’ll find elsewhere. Whether you’re a wine nerd or just getting into it, this is a place where you can discover something new every time.
What really makes it special is the staff. They’re not just knowledgeable—they genuinely care about sharing that knowledge in a welcoming, down-to-earth way. Ian, the owner, is incredible. He’s the reason I know anything about neutral wine now. His passion is contagious, and he’s always happy to break things down or suggest something based on your taste.
Whether you're looking to expand your palate or just enjoy a glass in a great atmosphere, this place delivers every time.”
“Farmhouse kitchen is the best Thai restaurant I’ve ever had. On top of the food being great and delicious, the presentation makes you want to order everything from the menu. Chef Bo was so nice to come out to our table and all I can say is she was a very nice, young & talented person. She even made me a special dessert for my birthday. Thanks Bo❤️ I highly recommend this place if you want an authentic, excellent and delicious food. In addition, the place is so full of life. The decor is amazing! I can’t wait to go back and try some of the fancy drinks and dishes on the menu.”
“Fashionable place for not just ramen, but gyoza and self-made hand rolls.
Dimly-lit, medium-spaced tables, service is good but a bit overwhelmed when they're at capacity (which is often!). Parking is limited on the street but doable.
Have to say the NYC location is better, but honestly would need to do another visit to confirm. Distinctly remember the self-made hand rolls in particular being quite good in New York and not nearly as memorable here.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“We dined at Damian for the second time. Our minds and tastebuds were blown again! Everything was high level, food drink, service, desert, even down to the tiny cookie that came with our espresso. And, the duck carnitas, chefs kiss!”
“The signature dish is the crab in sauce, which comes in medium and large sizes. medium is two crabs with two bowls of rice, and large is three crabs. Compared with other Korean restaurants, the sauce crab taste is mild, and it will not be salty enough to explode in the middle of the meal and cannot continue to eat. The crab is fresh, not fishy, and the meat is firm, not squishy. The crab meat is also very full, the crab legs are full, there is no empty shell crab. The sea urchin rice is a little smaller but the sea urchin is enough. regular sea urchins are not particularly sweet, but they are fresh and worth the price. The sea urchin Rice bowl combo will be served with steamed eggs, runny eggs and two prawns in sauce. Raw marinated salmon rice is amazing to me. The salmon is marinated just enough to be flavorful, but not overly salty. The portions are generous. You can eat two bites of each piece of salmon.”
“Was super happy with our dinner at Hippo. Every dish was delicious. The brussel sprouts and cauliflower starters had excellent flavors. All the pastas we tried had incredible depth of flavor without being overly heavy or greasy. The hippo rolls and table focaccia were excellent and the chicken thighs were to die for. Only thing that was lackluster was the passion fruit gelato. Fun vibe, lots of seating, and great service!”

“Cute Thai restaurant tucked away in the middle of Mid City. Food was delicious and service was great. Love the authentic Thai decor (without trying too hard). Will be back to try some other dishes that caught my eye.”
“Excellent shawarma, falafel & everything that goes with it. Fluffy pita bread was nice as well.”
“I loved the moment we had in this restaurant, food is excellent, service also. It is beautiful, cosy and I just did not have the impression to be in L.A.
Depending on the events hosted : you may not recognise the place during your second visit…?”
“If you’re craving authentic Spanish cuisine on the West Coast, Teleferic Barcelona is an absolute must-visit. Nestled in the heart of Brentwood , this vibrant restaurant offers one of the most immersive Spanish dining experiences I’ve had outside of Spain itself.
From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere transports you. Think warm, lively, and welcoming, with attentive servers who make the entire experience feel like you’re dining with friends. But let’s talk about the real star of the show: the food.
The tapas are nothing short of exceptional. Each dish bursts with depth, flavor, and authenticity. Whether it’s their patatas bravas, delicious tapas, or seafood-forward options, every bite feels carefully crafted and full of character.
And then there’s the cocktail menu! Specifically , the sangria flight. This tasting experience is a 10/10. With a variety of bold and refreshing flavors, it’s the perfect way to elevate your night out and find your favorite blend.
My tip? Bring a group of 3 or more. The menu is designed to be shared, and the more people you bring, the more dishes you get to try. Trust me, you’ll want to sample as much as possible.
Whether you’re a Spanish food enthusiast or just looking for your next great culinary adventure, Teleferic Barcelona is well worth the visit.”
“Guest House, is the extension of Home, I believe😍 One of the best mimosas in town😘🥰”
“Simply the best birria and pollo tacos around. I recommend the plate with birria or the burrito with chicken, my favorite choices. Must have the churros with dulce de leche sauce, so good.”
“Muy buena servicio y muy rica la comida ! Pronto regresamos 👍🏼”
“I've loved coming here for over half a decade, but new ownership has made some unfortunate changes. Our food took aaages to come out, was the wrong order when it did, and when I finally received my dish the quantity of meat on my sandwich was tragic. There was more melted cheese on a pastrami sandwich than there was pastrami...and there wasn't that much cheese. The house salad I've always adored had reduced quantities of toppings, less dressing, and was smaller in size than before. Service is typically slow unless you sit at the bar, which is mostly fine bc it's a casual atmosphere, but that combined with a sudden decline in food turnaround + value is unfortunate. I've always had leftovers when I ate here, but this past time I ate my entire meal and wasn't even full. I'm leaving 4 stars in hopes that they perk things back up, as it's a lovely neighborhood spot.”
“The service is super fast and very generous with the serving size, especially for LA this place really is a bang for your buck. But because this place is so popular sometimes it’s hard to find seating. They also sell a variety of healthy and delicious snacks.”
“been coming here since 2014 food is great staff is great very friendly the service is always on point I highly recommend Gus's Drive-In family friendly environment breakfast is delicious as well as lunch and dinner 💯💯💯💯💯”
“I highly recommend Hot Box Burger if you're in the Los Angeles area, it's the best burger in town! A must try with very reasonable prices. My personal favorite is the bacon cheeseburger.”
“You can always expect to have a fabulous time at Haidilao. While this chain can be more expensive than normal for hot pot, you will always know what you're getting when dining at Haidilao - high-quality, consistent, and above-average hot pot. It's like the Din Tai Fung of hot pot, and most folks would tend to agree. It's beloved for good reason.
I would suggest going with a large group, as you'll have the opportunity to try more dishes than you normally would if you had gone with a smaller group of 2 or so. Plus, it's always more fun in a larger group, in my opinion. Additionally, I definitely recommend being careful not to over-order, as it happens more often than not. Remember: You can always order more later!
I've been to Haidilao twice now and I definitely would add this to my roster of easy, group-friendly dinner ideas if you're looking for soup during a cold winter night (or any night, for that matter).
Overall, I'm a big fan of Haidilao and strongly encourage you all to check it out!”

“Simply phenomenal. It takes incredible food, made by kind folks, who love what they do, to lift a stranger's spirit like my own. I had ordered four tacos: Masala Birria, Tinga Masala Chicken (by recommendation), Pibil Chicken, and the potato (Mexican potato substitution), along with a side of Mom's Beans and seasoned Cauliflower. I was nodding my head blissfully as I ate everything. The smell of spices and fresh cilantro, the taste of meaty beans and succulent poultry, and pickled onions were wildly satisfying. I was blown away and can't wait to return. You're missing out if you haven't eaten here, yet. Until next time, peace.”
“A tiny Portuguese restaurant in cypress park owned by a really nice guy, Mike Santos. Now it is small, but it is great. It is always super clean and they have great Portuguese food. We just love it. Whenever we are near there we stop for dinner.
You can make reservations or just walk in. It is not usually too long a wait. There is a lot of comfortable outdoor seating which is great. They play great music and now and again they have live music.
Their bread is the best. I could just have that and be happy, but I always get their pork because it is just perfect.
Start with their WEISER FARMS SUGAR CUBE MELON. It is so tasty.
Their ARROZ DE PATO CONFIT DUCK LEG, with BOMBA RICE, SOFRITO, CHORIZO, and DUCK CRACKLINGS are so good and they give you a large portion. You can share or take extra home. Their SUMMER EGGPLANT, with SCALLOP VINAIGRETTE, AGED CHEESE and PEPITAS, SUNGOLD TOMATO is so good.
There is nothing you will not like. They have nice selection of beer and port as well. Have fun.”
“We have been going to Horses ever since they opened since it’s right in our neighborhood. The most friendly staff with a big shout out to Amanda. The most amazing craft cocktails and absolutely delicious food. I think we’ve almost tried everything on the menu and have not been disappointed once. Can be hard to get a reservation, but we usually get there at 5:15 and are able to sit at the bar with no problem.”
“Kinkan feels like a love letter to flavor. We came to celebrate a friend’s birthday and left feeling nourished in every way. Each dish was beautifully crafted, delicate yet bold. Perfect for a quiet celebration, a romantic date, or a night to remember. A true neighborhood treasure.”

“Been here 3 times now and have never been disappointed. Food is always delicious, staff super friendly, and the portions are generous (very sharable). Usually get the Patita with the Kare Kare, but tried the Pork Belly Burrito this time. One of the best burritos I’ve had in my life. They really care about quality here and the effort shows.”
“Incredible food and service. Our waiters name was Christian; he was personable, kind, and hospitable. The food was mouthwatering and had such unique flavors. HUGE portions and definitely comfort food as they state. Will definitely be returning to check out the new menu each month.”
“From the outside, The Airliner looks like a dive bar serving standard dive bar fare. But make no mistake, Chef Vinh Nguyen has created a stunning menu of excellent, creative, and absolutely delicious food!
We had a tasting for my daughter's wedding, and we were served such terrific items as Green Chop Salad (spicy thair dressing), Hunan BBQ pork ribs, Green Curry Crispy Rice, onion noodles, and tater tots with Gochujang glaze.
I forgot to take pictures, but everything looked as great as it tasted.
The next time we are in LA, we look forward to going there for dinner, and we couldn't be happier that Chef Nguyen will be catering our daughter's wedding!”
“Our family had an excellent meal at Mother Wolf last night. The pasta was out of this world and the Italian wine selection was great. The decor is very nice and conducive to an overall excellent experience.”
“Possibly the best and freshest Mexican style seafood in LA Think fine from a James Beard award winning chef and kitchen on the very casual setting of a food court It’s busy so get in early as the line to order grows quickly Plenty of parking with extra space at rear of the car park for the overflow This is a must try if you are in the area”

“This place is known for their galbi jjeem and I should have tried it. But (a) the portions are huuuge, as in for more than 1 person, maybe up to 4 people, and (b) at $100 it is expensive. I should return with a large group so we can order and share it. There is an option for cheese which the waiter will use a torch at the table to melt and toast it. I've never had galbi jjeem with cheese. Maybe it tastes like a cheeseburger? I'd be willing to try is there was an option to have it on the side, vs fully committing by covering everything with it.
So for this visit I had the sollung tang with tendon. It hit the spot, very creamy and flavorful, and the tendon was soft & tender. I would definitely return for this alone.”
“When I arrived at LAX late at night, I was disappointed to find that all the food options were closed. Hungry and unsure of what to get, I stumbled upon a Farmer’s Fridge vending machine and decided to give it a try. I chose the chicken Caesar salad, not expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised. The ingredients were incredibly fresh, the flavors were well-balanced, and it tasted far better than I anticipated. It was a convenient and satisfying option, and I’d definitely grab one again in a pinch!”
“Went here for breakfast recently and the food was good and the service was prompt. But what really impressed me was I used the restroom and the soap dispenser was empty. I informed the manager and he not only refilled the soap dispenser but brought over to the table a big bottle of hand sanitizer for my hands which was truly impressive. I consider that a true act of thoughtfulness. Thank you!”
“Ice Cream Occasions was such a fun and unique addition to our event! The ice cream cart looked great and added a nostalgic touch, and the selection of treats was perfect. The staff was super friendly and made everything really easy, from booking to setup. It definitely made the day feel extra special, and I’d totally recommend them for any party or event.”
“Freshest restaurant quality sashimi and sushi at a reasonable price in the U.S. Their sashimi is top notch. Highly recommend the Hamachi/yellowtail toro (so underrated), the scallops, and the squid/ika, but honestly any of the options won’t disappoint. Also a big fan of their tamago and their Takuan roll (which has fresh perilla leaves inside)!
If you’re a big sashimi/sushi enjoyer and value quality, this place is perfect!”
Takeout Restaurants
“Our favorite (non AYCE) Korean bbq (thanks to our friend Heny for the recommendation) Great quality of meat, great service, and great ambiance. So many other options if you’re not feeling Korean Bbq, we like to order their soup and spicy cold noodle. And we love that it’s located in our favorite Madang plaza in Ktown.”

“The best sushi you can get in Los Angeles. It can easily hold its own against some of the best places in Japan. I love dining here and if you are fortunate enough to get a reservation I think you will have a great time. The food they make is certainly with a Japanese palette meaning that there are dishes presented here will not be all melt in your mouth fish that most Americans want. There will be a variety of tastes and textures. I love it, but I can see how some people may not love every dish.”

“Can’t wait to come back for a positive review after my first be bright pour-over as I think I had the best bean in North America and haven’t had a good quality of Geisha for long time.
I dropped by for a cold brew and grabbed a bag of “unique & surprising” to go and the barista shared a small cup of its cold brew for me to taste. I am glad i have tried because it was really surprised by its freshness and flavor and almost wanted to have another large cup of coffee if it’s not my first drink at that day of arrival after a 5 hr flight without a full meal😿
I followed the brew guide on the website but have cut half of the size and still get the same profile as I have had for cold brew.
I will definitely come back for other coffee drinks next time🙌
Nice staff with the chill atmosphere and a kids area provided which is rarely seen”
“I pop in here probably once a week sometimes twice for a glass of wine. The bartenders are very cheerful and informed with respect to varieties and flavors and all the jazz. They walk you through the options and make tip top recommendations. The place is always slammed at night, yet the manager is extremely accommodating and always finds a place for me to chill and savor the weekend ambiance. I’ve never had their food, but it looks delicious. All the servers are friendly and have excellent people skills. The outdoor space is a fun hang too if you have a group. I always feel spoiled here. 5 star experiences.”
“Great qualities of meat selection and a bunch of other types of excellent qualities of food. Definitely a place to go to celebrate and for special occasions. The beef, especially the galbi, the shrimp, takoyaki, and everything is fantastic. We can grab most of the food and the premium food came out very fast. Will definitely come back.”
“I really want to give it five stars and I may come again in the future. The food is great, to be honest, the pork shoulder and mushroom rice is enough.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Now this restaurant… fireeeeee. The atmosphere at night is my favorite! The food was delicious I couldn’t get enough of the spicy tuna rice cakes. The aguachiles are FIREEEE it’s the right amount of spicy. The margaritas pair well with their dishes. I look forward to trying their lunch menu! I will be back.”
“Sushi Takesa is truly one of the top omakase spots in town. The fish was incredibly fresh with a great texture, perfectly complemented by expertly prepared sushi rice. Every course was outstanding—each one thoughtfully crafted and delicious. The service was also exceptional, attentive without being intrusive. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience and will definitely be returning!”
“Please please do yourself a favor and eat here! We had the ceviche Classico & lomo saltado - I’m not even joking that my boyfriend and I had to hug after the meal because it was SO delicious and enjoyable. The flavors were bright and unique. You can tell that these recipes were thoughtful created! Can’t wait to try more on the menu ❤️”
“Y’alllll I’ve been dying to go here and lemme tell you, it did not disappoint!! WOW so good, so much flavor. The Goat Roti was recommend to me, and when an employee says it the best thing on the menu, I believe them! Amazing combination of flavors. Absolutely coming back to try everything else on the menu 10/10”
“The little plates are yummy. I love the pita bread that came with the hummus (Salatim plate). The other plates were good also. I loved the bread pudding (I think it's better than the best cake). What I like the most about Bacari, besides the beautiful ambiance, is the friendliest staff.”

“What an experience! I didn't even do the chef experience and got such a wonderful dinner! I was so jealous of the people experiencing it so I'm definitely doing that next time
I celebrated my first anniversary here and it was such a joy. Some people get worried they will leave a Michelin star restaurant hungry. But i was stuffed!!!
Everyone at the restaurant was amazing, kind and really took care of you! I kind of just want to come back just to experience that as well!
Since their menu constantly change, I think it's just best to say: trust the chef. You won't regret it! Or let the pictures do the talking!
I'm 100% coming back with my family to treat them to this!”
“Went here last night with some friends who raved about this place, and it did not disappoint! We asked our server, Mickey, to bring us her favorites, with wines chosen by Rachel, our sommelier. The quality of the food, wine pairings and service rank among the best I've experienced -- and I say that having dined at Central in Lima, Peru (#1 restaurant in South America and #2 in the world) in 2022. An amazing meal!!”
“My brother and I had the most amazing night of superb jazz and food this past Sunday, entertained by Betty Bryant and ensemble. Her fingers moved like liquid gold on the keyboard and her compositions were witty and mesmerizing. The word that kept coming to mind as they performed was "subtle." The music was powerful, but so discrete as to be gentle and gentile. Woodwinds, Bass, and Drums - all played with the kind of delight that makes everyone love the performers as well as the music. As for food, one dish stood out particularly: the creamed spinach with blue cheese. Please tell Chef I would love that recipe! I'm back home in Tennessee now and plan to attempt to copy it, but having the authentic recipe to serve to friends when we entertain would be over the top! Can't wait to visit my brother in LA again and return to Herb Alpert's Vibrato Grill, Jazz, Etc. Just wow! And Thank You!”
“Progressive Japanese food that focuses on simplicity and freshness showcasing technique. They highlight their eel and we got the whole one to share. It can be a bit intimidating for people not familiar and a bit simple but the effort to prepare takes a lot. For the price, I wish it came with a side of rice or something to complement it. I really enjoyed the Tofu and Eggplant dish also. The Eggplant was super unique and cooked in a way I haven’t tried before and was very flavorful with a dark miso crust. The Corn and Sausage was unique too and presentation was pretty cool. I really enjoyed the Strawberry Shaved Ice for dessert. Great way to end!! Overall, the food is on the lighter side so if you’re looking for hearty or indulgent food this may not be the best pick. They serve smaller plates that are good to share between two people or a small group. Service was great though and super friendly.”
“Brianna was our server tonight and she was absolutely amazing ! Such a joy to talk with and she recommended some of her favorites entrees to my family and I. The food was delicious ! The atmosphere was a vibe based on the ambiance and the awesome DJ!! My family and I were in town from Alabama and we enjoyed every minute at STK! We had filet steaks , Ny Strip, salmon, bacon mac n cheese , classic Mac n cheese, and brussel sprouts. Everything was cooked to perfection. We will definitely be back and hope to see our amazing server Brianna.”
“One of the best omakase experience i’ve had.
There were so many dishes that came out that I started to get full. Love it!
The service was very attentive. The fish quality was great and there were some unique options i’ve never had before. My favs were the ankimo, seared baby barracuda, spotted ebi, and uni. The espresso hojicha dessert was absolutely amazing as well.”
“10/10 recommend. Everything is great about this restaurant. The food was seasonal, fresh, creative, and healthy all in one. Staff and customer service was great. Would definitely return”

“I've been visiting this hidden gem for over a decade, and I can confidently say that their bánh mì remains some of the best I’ve ever had in Chinatown! The #1 option with cold cuts and Vietnamese-style meatloaf is incredibly flavorful. I might be mistaken, but I detect a lovely smoky note that elevates the entire sandwich.
The bread is truly exceptional—fresh, soft on the inside, and perfectly crunchy on the outside. It’s the ideal baguette to complement the vibrant fillings. Every bite is a delightful mix of textures and flavors that keeps me coming back for more. If you’re in the area, you have to give this place a try!”
“*I apologize for the lack of pictures. I was very hungry*
I will call this the little sandwich shop that could.
I cannot believe how amazing the subs are here. Also how huge they are. You can honestly get a regular size sub and split it with a friend and it will get the job done.
I was so hungry I don’t even remember the name of the sub I got. I know it was amazing.
To the owner of this wonderful establishment I give you my word I will return and do a much better review.”
“Open Market catered a wedding reception I was coordinating in October, and they were wonderful. Their restaurant is one of the bride's favorites, and they were great. The food is delicious, and I'm working on getting my husband over there soon. They couldn't have been more accommodating and flexible during the planning, and they were straight pros at the reception. As a planner, I love caterers that are easy to work with and easy for my couple's to work with, and it was a great experience for everyone.

Vegetarian options: Delicious!
Dietary restrictions: We didn't have a lot of them, but they did create delicious vegetarian meals for the guests who needed it.”
“This meal was the highlight of our LA trip! I don’t know what kind of sorcery is afoot here but this little spot manages to be so much more than the sum of its parts. I felt so welcomed from the moment I stepped through the door and I liked that they have you order and pay before sitting down, it makes the dining experience more relaxing and low key. Loved how short and sweet the menu was, the chef has incredible restraint and a crystal clear vision. Every single thing we had was incredible, the best hk french toast and bolo bao I have ever had, and omg the scallion roll and dumplings. I don’t know what it is about this place but I’m still thinking about that meal days later. Also, the dining room made me feel like I was in a tvb serial from the early 90s which is the highest compliment.”
“Fabulous staff here with very affordable prices on food AND drinks! The new happy hour now starts at 2pm EVERY DAY till 8pm!!!! Love the upgrade draft beer options to a boom sh size for only $3 more!!!! Great new local neighborhood bar. Fantastic games room with something for everyone.”
“Easily the best vegan ramen I’ve ever had. It has a really rich, savory broth, which is a nice change of pace since vegan broth is usually a watered down afterthought at most places. It comes fully loaded with mushrooms and hashbrowns (??!?) but you can add additional veggies or an egg if youre feeling it. Very simple menu but they execution is 1000/10!”
“A tiny Portuguese restaurant in cypress park owned by a really nice guy, Mike Santos. Now it is small, but it is great. It is always super clean and they have great Portuguese food. We just love it. Whenever we are near there we stop for dinner.
You can make reservations or just walk in. It is not usually too long a wait. There is a lot of comfortable outdoor seating which is great. They play great music and now and again they have live music.
Their bread is the best. I could just have that and be happy, but I always get their pork because it is just perfect.
Start with their WEISER FARMS SUGAR CUBE MELON. It is so tasty.
Their ARROZ DE PATO CONFIT DUCK LEG, with BOMBA RICE, SOFRITO, CHORIZO, and DUCK CRACKLINGS are so good and they give you a large portion. You can share or take extra home. Their SUMMER EGGPLANT, with SCALLOP VINAIGRETTE, AGED CHEESE and PEPITAS, SUNGOLD TOMATO is so good.
There is nothing you will not like. They have nice selection of beer and port as well. Have fun.”
“Efficient, clean, comfortable, and simply good food. The quality of the meat was sublime. Loved the ssamjang and other condiments provided. Don’t forget the corn cheese!”
“What an experience! I didn't even do the chef experience and got such a wonderful dinner! I was so jealous of the people experiencing it so I'm definitely doing that next time
I celebrated my first anniversary here and it was such a joy. Some people get worried they will leave a Michelin star restaurant hungry. But i was stuffed!!!
Everyone at the restaurant was amazing, kind and really took care of you! I kind of just want to come back just to experience that as well!
Since their menu constantly change, I think it's just best to say: trust the chef. You won't regret it! Or let the pictures do the talking!
I'm 100% coming back with my family to treat them to this!”
“It was our first time here and our server, J Kim, was very attentive. He helped (and even taught us how) us cook the meats and gave really good recommendations. Really good if you're a wagyu fan!”
“So good!!! Amazing. Love the food. The bok choy pot stickers OOOF! The best. 💜💜💜👑👑👑🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🕺🏽🕺🏽🕺🏽🕺🏽💞💞💞💝💝👨❤️👨🧡”
“Quality food, service and relaxed environment. Totally understated as the staff assist where needed with a minimum of fuss as we enjoyed the experience.”
“They marked up a menu to show me what was gluten free and everything I ate was just phenomenal!!! So nice of them to accommodate my allergy and I really enjoyed my meal and the whole experience.”
“Now this restaurant… fireeeeee. The atmosphere at night is my favorite! The food was delicious I couldn’t get enough of the spicy tuna rice cakes. The aguachiles are FIREEEE it’s the right amount of spicy. The margaritas pair well with their dishes. I look forward to trying their lunch menu! I will be back.”
“I don’t know how ‘hidden’ of a gem this is - but it is a gem. Such a unique place seeing as the only other one in the world is in London. Food is stellar and there are both British and American options on the menu. The display of motorcycles creates a fun atmosphere. There is a shop, barber, tattoo parlour, and display room for motorcycles as well as many other places to hang out here. Must visit if you are an auto or motorcycle enthusiast while in LA”
“We have been going to Horses ever since they opened since it’s right in our neighborhood. The most friendly staff with a big shout out to Amanda. The most amazing craft cocktails and absolutely delicious food. I think we’ve almost tried everything on the menu and have not been disappointed once. Can be hard to get a reservation, but we usually get there at 5:15 and are able to sit at the bar with no problem.”
“Absolutely amazing vegan food, the staff were so kind and professional, their food is top-tier 👌 Can’t wait to come back for more !!! 🥰”
“We had minced pork on rice, beef noodle soup, Dan Dan noodles, basil eggplant, pork belly bun, shaved ice and dou hua.
Overall, the food is pretty good. With some fine tunes, it can be closer to the yummy level of food in Taiwan, like some red beans in dessert are still hard, Dou Hua is too dry and needs some liquid or shaved ice to go with it, traditional shaved ice is too sweet though I like it much better than Korean style shaved ice, and brown rice is too hard. Service is good. Staff is nice. The atmosphere is relaxing and comfortable. Order at the counter, self service for water, extra bowls and utensils.
We live in the west side, and we will come back to try other stuff on the menu.”
“Just tried MIRATE Restaurant the food was amazing! Definitely worth checking out if you love great flavors.”
“My mother and I celebrated her birthday at Nnaka Restaurant and it was a fantastic dining experience. The set menu included 13 courses, with some special dishes. Every dish was beautifully prepared and delicious.”
“GREAT FOOD ALWAYS~ BEEN COMING TO THIS RESTAURANT FOR DECADES~ MAMA'S COOKING IS THE BEST!!!! Pollack Casserole Steamed Cod Fish Seasoned Pork W/Veggie Seasoned Oysters must try~♡♡♡♡♡”
“Fantastic quality and taste. This is hands down my new fave in LA for sushi. When they get their liquor license it'll be packed non stop. Really nice help and attention from the team. Try the inside out salmon roll, melts in your mouth!!!”
“Budonoki is a very special place. Food is innovative and exceptionally delicious. Wide assortment of flavors, ingredients and textures. We tried an assortment of plates and all were delicious. Excellent service. A warm and inviting environment where guests are treated like family.”
“It was even better than I remember. I had the catfish po boy, chicken & waffles. The French bread, remoulade sauce & generous seasoning of the fish were delicious. I would definitely not consider myself a grits fan but the fried cinnamon sugar grits…so good. I can definitely post photos of empty boxes but other than that ??♀️. You’re going to have to order your own. Make sure you order directly on the restaurant site www.gritznwafflez.com. Signed up with my email when I ordered & got a discount.”
“Went here last night with some friends who raved about this place, and it did not disappoint! We asked our server, Mickey, to bring us her favorites, with wines chosen by Rachel, our sommelier. The quality of the food, wine pairings and service rank among the best I've experienced -- and I say that having dined at Central in Lima, Peru (#1 restaurant in South America and #2 in the world) in 2022. An amazing meal!!”
“I had a wonderful time at Propaganda Wine Bar. The food was excellent and well made. I forgot my waiters name but he was so sweet and attentive to me and my friend. The music was good, and overall great experience. Thank you to all the staff!”
“Everything was amazing. Food was delicious. Service was great. They where very kind. Food came out decently quick. Japanese atmosphere. Would definitely come again. The people where extremely helpful. Well sized portions.”
“Comida 10/10 en todo California el mejor restaurante Catracho, comida típica y el mejor sabor y sazón Catracho.”
“Such a lovely meal. My second time here and this cements Roots as one of my spots. The food is great and the service is so fantastic - Noor pulled out all the stops to take care of my parents. Such kindness. Definitely recommend the biryani and bruschetta! Thank you Chef Parma & Noor…”
“Our favorite (non AYCE) Korean bbq (thanks to our friend Heny for the recommendation) Great quality of meat, great service, and great ambiance. So many other options if you’re not feeling Korean Bbq, we like to order their soup and spicy cold noodle. And we love that it’s located in our favorite Madang plaza in Ktown.”
“Kinkan feels like a love letter to flavor. We came to celebrate a friend’s birthday and left feeling nourished in every way. Each dish was beautifully crafted, delicate yet bold. Perfect for a quiet celebration, a romantic date, or a night to remember. A true neighborhood treasure.”
“I was in Osaka (Japan) and tried takoyaki there...and I want to say that the takoyaki in this restaurant is top notch!!! Maybe even tastier than they were in Japan back then 🥰
I really liked the beautiful presentation and, of course, the incredible taste! 🐙
Plus, while I was waiting for my dish, I saw a huge portion of ramen at the next table 🍜
I immediately wanted to try it, so I will definitely come back again!
I would also like to note that it’s cozy inside + it smells delicious. The staff is very nice and friendly ✨”
“My brother and I had the most amazing night of superb jazz and food this past Sunday, entertained by Betty Bryant and ensemble. Her fingers moved like liquid gold on the keyboard and her compositions were witty and mesmerizing. The word that kept coming to mind as they performed was "subtle." The music was powerful, but so discrete as to be gentle and gentile. Woodwinds, Bass, and Drums - all played with the kind of delight that makes everyone love the performers as well as the music. As for food, one dish stood out particularly: the creamed spinach with blue cheese. Please tell Chef I would love that recipe! I'm back home in Tennessee now and plan to attempt to copy it, but having the authentic recipe to serve to friends when we entertain would be over the top! Can't wait to visit my brother in LA again and return to Herb Alpert's Vibrato Grill, Jazz, Etc. Just wow! And Thank You!”
“whipped feta app was incredible, it's been almost a week and I'm still thinking about how good it was! the drinks were all memorable as well. was super busy when we went but worth the wait. can't wait to go back for dinner!”
“Angelini Osteria totally lived up to the hype! We had a great dinner there that night and I can't wait to go back again soon. Let's start with the star of this show: uni pasta. Oh my gosh, it was divine! The uni was so fresh and creamy and the pasta itself was cooked just right. Every bite was an explosion of flavor. We also tried the baked lasagna and it was delightful. The layers were perfectly balanced and each bite was full of rich, savory flavors. Let's not forget dessert! We shared a few different things and they were all great. The tiramisu was fluffy and decadent and the chocolate mousse was rich and smooth. Overall, Angelini Osteria is definitely a must-try for Italian food lovers in Los Angeles. The food is incredible, the service is friendly, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. We can't wait to come back and try more dishes on the menu!”
“New favorite. The yellow Japanese Common tableware plates !”
“I don't live in LA but I have eaten here so many times. The server (young woman, very kind) is the absolute best. Her attentiveness, knowledge, and the food is just excellent. It's one of my favorite places in DTLA”
“Delicious food at a reasonable price. I ordered one of the options with multiple handrolls and chefs were attentive enough that they never stacked up, but I somehow always had one in front of me. I'd passed by it without trying it before as we were meeting up with family at another place, but I'm glad we made it back here.”
“Please please do yourself a favor and eat here! We had the ceviche Classico & lomo saltado - I’m not even joking that my boyfriend and I had to hug after the meal because it was SO delicious and enjoyable. The flavors were bright and unique. You can tell that these recipes were thoughtful created! Can’t wait to try more on the menu ❤️”
“Such friendly staff and one of the best hot sizzling Bibimbap dishes i could wish for!
They server it with a complimentary set of korean starters that are incredibly good.
I am always excited to come back to la for this Restaurant!”
“I have to say the service at the Henry is top notch. While I have not been in person, Brandon - the manger was so kind and helped me send drinks to my friends on my behalf who were celebrating their marriage there. He even sent me a video from his personal phone showing my friends enjoying their drinks. Next time I'm in LA, I will one hundred percent come here to enjoy the food, atmosphere, and service! Thank you so much! Love from Canada :)”
“Food, service etc was good. Maybe because it's Michelin rated so expectations were high accordingly.
The sake recommended were good, as was the food. Both cooked dishes and sushi were of really high quality”
“Great food , excellent customer service and friendly I will stop by all the time, because food are delicious 🤤”
“The Great White Breakie was delicious, I loved the combination of goat cheese and sourdough. The folded eggs were also really good, especially with the bacon slices. Overall the flavors were really well balanced on this plate, and I enjoyed how you could mix & match the different ingredients to your taste. The Caesar Salad was very good, would recommend adding grilled chicken on the side. We also liked the coffee here, especially the Shaken Iced Latte!
Great food and great service too. The atmosphere is also very relaxed, perfect for brunch but I could also see this being a nice dinner place too.”
“this place is SUPERBE!!!! my wife and I eat there three times and it's is STUNNING!!!! the food is absolutely magnificent!!!! my wife is a chef and should know.... and the staff are perfect!!!!”
“So yummy it was best food I have had I like it a lot and they are open late which is rlly good for me since I am a late night owl and I stay up later especially when there’s delicious Thai Food from Sticky Rice which is always a huge plus for me when it is late and I am hungry which is not now but could be later.”
“I brought my grandmother, aunt, and husband here and they loved it! The quality of the beef was amazing.
We got the A combo (medium) and it was so much food! We got cold noodles and 육회 as well. Our server was amazing too!! So nice and very clean :) will come back again!”
“Amazing Food. We ordered quite a few dishes and everything was delicious! The Peking Duck and green beans were my favorite!”
“Incredible pizza!
Absolutely worth the wait but definitely recommend getting a reservation if you can.
We ended up sitting outside which excluded us from getting any alcoholic beverages which was fine because we got drunk on pizza!
We split a Caesar salad, pickled vegetable appetizer, and ordered two pizzas for three people. It was more than enough food and we polished off the meal by splitting a tiramisu. It was define!
The dough really was the star of the show here with a soft chewy texture at the center, but a crispy crust.
I definitely wanna come back and sit at the bar as I’m sure it’s fun to watch them make the pies as you’re enjoying them.”
“Went to Chloe’s birthday party this past weekend and it was my first time trying Sogno Toscano’s food.
The catering was impressive. Everything looked so beautiful… and the flavor of the sandwiches was incredible…
All those cheeses and meat really got me!
I can’t wait to come to the restaurant and experience a full lunch and dining experience!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“yes great service. their food is always cooked at time of ordering. everything is fresh!”
“Went here before a concert and wasn't too busy thankfully. The food and service were both amazing and portions are great! Highly recommend and hope to come back again”
“Truly incredible. I found out about this place from the LA food podcast, and it really delivered. It looks like a hole in the wall, but you walk in and are greeted by music and delicious smells. The staff are very attentive and nice and our pizza was warmed up quickly. It was fun being there, we got to see the pizza getting made and someone shaking bread and pesto in a bucket. The actual pizza was delicious. Even the cheese pizza was so so flavourful and had such a good texture. Definitely will be coming back!”
Latest Reviews
“We recently held a memorial, celebrating the life of a loved family member at Yamashiro and the experience was nothing short of amazing! This restaurant has great food, beautiful views and a very welcoming atmosphere so they don't need to negotiate prices. However, our party was on a budget and to our very pleasant surprise, the manager worked with us to fit the evening into our limited budget. The service was outstanding and the food, well, I'm repeating myself but, again, absolutely amazing! Some establishments are willing to work within people's budgets, but the food and service level tends to reflect the lower pricing but that was NOT the case here: We were treated as if we were the only people in attendance that evening. The occasion was bitter/sweet because we lost a loved one but, by the end of the evening, we felt as if we had spent the evening at a family member's house and we will NEVER forget this evening, on many levels. Thank you, Yamashiro, for making our evening extra special for everyone in our party!”
“I ordered the BLT with Bacon and a strawberry arugula salad. Let me tell you that was the best BLT and salad I have ever had! The atmosphere was cozy, and the staff were very friendly and quick to serve. I can't wait to go there again! Thank you for your wonderful service!”
“It is the best place to go to eat was seeing the bad comments. Those people are the one who likes to eat all that food they sell outside that Michoacana because they have no manners or taste of the good clean and the service of those who attendI go from Long Beach because a relative recommended me and everything is very tasty 😋 very clean and its excellent pity that is located in that aria of people who do not value the good [Original] Es el mejor lugar para ir a comer estaba viendo los malos comentarios esa gente es la que le gusta comer toda esa comida que venden a fuera de esa michoacana porque no tienen modales ni sabor de lo bueno lo limpio y el servicio de los que atienden yo voy de Long Beach porque un familiar me recomendó y todo está muy sabroso 😋 muy limpio y su personal excelente lástima que está ubicado en esa aria de gente que no valora lo bueno”
“I found them on Yelp with a 4.5 rating and said I'm gonna try this place. I ordered a combo of catfish filet and oysters with fries and macaroni salad. The food was fresh, tasted great and plentiful. And I couldn't finish my meal because it was so much food. I highly recommend this place. The service was good also. I finally found my new go-to fried fish spot. Maybe I'll trying the orange roughy or lobster fried the next time. And don't forget the tartar sauce. It's off the chain, not that packaged stuff like some other places have.”

“The experience was excellent except for the wait for a table. We arrived on time for our reservation and our entire party of four was present but at check in they said it would be a few minutes for a table. It was a 15-20 minute wait which was odd because the entire restaurant was empty. We would have gone to the bar for a drink but the restaurant was completely empty and we expected to be seated quickly. The food and service were excellent. My son said it was the best meal he has had in years.”
“I was in LA a couple of weeks ago on business and found this spot the day before leaving and that's my biggest regret. Wish we'd found it the first day we we're there I'd have been eating there everyday. The food and atmosphere are excellent and a live DJ playing music we all grew up on (can you dig it ✊?). The purple (grape) kool-aid was a blast from the past fo so.”
“Our waitress was absolutely lovely and the food and table service was fine. Having made a reservation (with the entire night open to book for two) I was deeply disappointed that we were seated at a high top with counter service only. I asked to be reseated (1/4 of the restaurant was empty) we were told no other tables were available because they had been reserved (like I didn't make a reservation) and it wasn't until we decided to leave that they found a table that actually came with table service. Our waitress was lovely as was the support staff but I will be cautious booking in the future knowing that I can make a reservation and get truly subpar seating/service.”
“we were visiting universal studios in LA from the UK and being 2 vegetarians, we were a bit unsure on how our hot dogs would taste. we needn't of worried. with all the toppings or without, the veggie sausage was awesome! also, being from the UK, I queried what funnel cake was to our server, as I had seen it a few times in LA. he explained and it sounded interesting, so I said if I had room afterwards, I may try it. whilst eating our meal the lovely server bought 1 over to try for free! super nice food and the staff are the icing on the cake. highly recommend for something quick and filling and reasonably priced on the universal city walk.”

“The tastiest Mexican restaurant in Los Angeles!!
I love the location and the colorful yellow tiles on the facade of KOMAL. Smartly designed aesthetics and beautifully thought out menu. The prices are fair for such quality ingredients.
Komal is an upcoming business with care and true craft behind every bite. Also the aqua fresca is super nice on a hot day and the pan de calabaza is everything. I dream about KOMAL!”
“Where do I start. Liz and Maggie are amazing. They made my family feel like some type of celebrity. I can’t state in this short paragraph how blown away I was by the service we received. THE BEST SERVICE, I’VE EVER RECEIVED. The drinks were excellent and the food was so good. I recommend the wagyu meatballs. The dessert was so tasty. You really can’t go wrong with anything you order here. The piano bar is a musical nice touch. I really appreciated the attention to detail on the decor of the restaurant when it came to the music. I’m so very excited and satisfied with Osteria Florence and I can’t wait to comeback again. 10 stars ⭐️ thank you Francesco 🙏🏽❤️”
“One of my current favorites in the city. The ambiance is warm and moody in the best way—perfect for a catch up dinner with freinds or date night. The food is consistently great, and what I really appreciate is that it doesn’t feel like your typical Hollywood scene. It’s relaxed, unpretentious, and welcoming. Owner Ben is often there, genuinely kind and always up for a friendly chat. You can tell he cares about the place and the people in it.”
“I was excited to come here based on reviews and environment. It looked so cute inside and I was so happy to try it. I ordered a cold brew, but it was extremely watered down, so that was disappointing. The woman who took my order at the counter was not friendly at all, which really ruined the experience for me. It’s almost like I had no right to be there. I didn’t order any food, but the open faced bagels looked really good, so I gave the food 5 stars as a benefit of the doubt.
But I’m not sure I’ll come back based on the sour mood of the cashier.”
“We went here for our wedding anniversary and we loved loved the whole experience! I’ve had many omakase before in LA, Toronto & Japan and this was top notch. I was obsessed with their pickled ginger as it appears to be house made. I would come back just for that! Just kidding but not really. We’ll definitely be back! I wish them continued success!”
“Came here for a last minute bite and was pleasantly surprised. Ashley our server is the sweetest and she took such good care of us despite being an hour before closing. She was fantastic with recommending dishes and checking in on us and every item was brought out in a timely manner. I really enjoyed everything here it feels elevated, it’s great for date night, light bites or a full meal. They have a great happy hour menu that I look forward to trying next time. My only critique is that some of the dishes skew sweeter than my preference but that’s just me. The granita dessert is an absolute must have and so is the uni temaki! I’ve eaten a lot of uni and theirs was particularly sweet and fresh. Will definitely come back again soon!”
“I rarely write restaurant reviews, but Butchr Bar genuinely impressed me. I went with a friend for dinner, and everything from the food to the atmosphere felt on point.
The vibe inside is cool and welcoming. Dim lighting, modern touches, and a kind of laid-back energy that makes you want to settle in and stay awhile. It’s the kind of place that feels special without trying too hard.
We started with a couple of appetizers. I ordered the beef tartare, which was absolutely delicious. The meat was fresh, seasoned perfectly, and paired with baguette that added the perfect texture. It had just the right amount of tang and richness without being too heavy.
My friend got the deviled eggs, and honestly, I ended up stealing one. They were creamy and super flavorful and way better than your average deviled egg. We both looked at each other after the first bite and were like, “Okay, this place knows what it’s doing.”
For mains, I decided to go all in and ordered both the lamb and the burger. The lamb was tender and full of flavor, cooked beautifully with a pink center and served with a sauce that brought it all together. I kept slowing down my bites just to make it last longer.
As for the burger, I ordered it protein style since I’m cutting back on carbs, and it didn’t disappoint. Even without the bun, it held together perfectly and tasted incredible. Juicy patty, sharp cheddar, tangy pickles, and pickled beets all wrapped in crisp lettuce. It felt indulgent but still light enough that I didn’t regret a thing.
My friend had the Wild Rivers ribeye and was seriously blown away. It came out with a perfect crust and was cooked exactly how they wanted it. Super tender, juicy, and flavorful all the way through. They said it was one of the best steaks they’ve had in a long time, and I believe it.
The service was another highlight. Our server was friendly, gave great suggestions, and really knew the menu. You could tell the staff actually cared, which made the whole evening feel even more enjoyable.
We didn’t end up getting dessert, mostly because we were too full. But everything we saw going to other tables looked amazing, so I already know I’ll be back to try something sweet next time.
I also had a glass of wine that was amazing, they had a great selection. You can tell their wine selection is just as thoughtful as their kitchen.
What stood out the most to me was how intentional everything felt. The flavors, the presentation, the pacing of the meal. It’s clear that someone put a lot of heart and pride into creating this place.
If you're a fan of high-quality meat, amazing wine , and warm service, Butchr Bar should be on your list. I left full, happy, and already thinking about what I want to try next.
Highly recommend. This place is a gem.”
“I was really craving some fresh sushi one night and this place did not disappoint! Everything was so flavorful, fresh, and delicious.
Definitely one of my favorites was the Sama Hand Roll. I was savoring every bite. I’ve already come back here 3 times and I can’t wait to bring my friends and family to try this place. This is definitely a resturant I recommend.”
“Modern, clean cafe with yummy Asian inspired treats. We got their chocolate mochi brownie, miso cinnamon roll, and cream bun.
All were delicious, but the mochi brownie was our favorite. The miso perfectly complements the cinnamon roll and the roll still tastes sweet. The cream bun was so soft and not too sweet.
Street parking available nearby. Cafe has good seating, high ceilings, and modern decor.”
“Just landed in LA from Seattle and found this place as we were searching for a spot to grab food. The atmosphere is great. They use tablets with great photos of all the food. On the tablets you’re able to order all your food and send it directly to the kitchen to be prepared. The food came out quickly and HOT! Would definitely recommend this place to anyone in the area. Be ready for great service and even better food!”
“I mean, this is the besttttt handroll spot in all of Los Angeles. Cool unique hand rolls (like the same woo jang and banh mi) and premium rolls (uni, toro/caviar/uni). AND they give huge chunks of sushi. Since the seaweed layer is taken off when eating the seaweed is crispy while eating. The technology is giving! Honestly, IMO better than some of the big popular establishments around for hand rolls (IYKYK). Their to-go and delivery is not bad as well!”
“From Kevin greeting us at the front, to Shannon being so passionate describing the menu in detail, and Chef Everett constantly checking in on us. This place not only delivers with ambiance, but each dish was crafted with so much detail. The whipped ricotta was so rich and the truffle agnolotti was curated to perfection.The menu had an array of options. I’ll be back soon!”
“The pizza was to die for — we had the margarita pizza — thin crust and sauce delicious. We had the artichoke burrata appetizer which was delicious too. The area where the restaurant is located is very cool. Enjoyable all the way around.”
