“Delicious dining at it's best. Cornbread out of this world and best clams I've ever had!”
“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.”
“Amazing food!!! Service was great. Gotta have the Pork shank and Pop Corn situation!!!”
“Great food , nice people. I enjoyed the pasta and desserts. My biggest issue aside from price is that they tried to give us a 4% surcharge, which I'm pretty sure is illegal. Claiming "it's for benefits". They removed it from my check. But please be wary. Otherwise great place”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“The food is phenomenal. We got reservations for 2 at the bar 3 weeks in advance. The bar seating was great, had a nice time chatting with the bartenders and other customers. We ordered 5 dishes per person and we enjoyed everything we got!
Some dishes that stood out:
1. Tripe kushiyaki—this was my favorite, it was so tender and flavorful. I never had tripe prepared like this, it didn’t taste like tripe at all.
2. Raw oysters—the jello was bright and made this common dish so unique
3. Chicken meatball skewer—it’s a big piece and was very juicy
4. Mushroom kushiyaki—the sauce was everything ?
5. Miso bone marrow—super rich and was so tasty with the rice
Parking:
They have valet for $12 (cash or venmo)”
“First, Ian the owner is delightful. Approachable, kind and hip. The pizza, chefs kiss! The wine, as usual I had a chilled red, was stunning. Great to chill and read or take a date. I'll be back to visit for sure!”
“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.”

“Found this place from a friend and it was amazing. Super cute and cozy inside. Service was amazing and the food was sooo good. Very underrated place. Has a parking lot which is also a plus.”
“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.”
“Buenas tardes, Todo estuvo muy bueno. La comida deliciosa, el ambiente agradable pero el servicio demoró en tomar la orden y en llevarse la cuenta. Y la paella no tenía casi nada de arroz. He comido paella en diferentes restaurantes en LA y esta vez he recibido menos arroz que en otros lugares.”
“Food is delicious, Fast service and also great service. Staff is amazing and friendly. The security guard is the nicest most welcoming Security ever which makes for a chill stress free environment. The Music is amazing. Live band and live Dj for Kiss and wine event. Spectacular! Oh I have to also add that the Watermelon Sunset drink is outstanding and my personal fave!”
“Burgers are fire. Must get one because their patties are so thick and tasty. The fries I admit aren't the best. Both chili cheese and cheese fries were very salty but if u do get it, eating with the burger makes it enjoyable. You do have to wait 5-10 min but worth it.”
“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”

“Really nice space inside of the museum courtyard. Food is a California classic executed precisely. Still some dishes that are not outrageously priced, including wine. 18% gratuity is included”

“Loved the sweet potato, Loma Salgado and lamb tacos. One person in the party had a green bean taco and did not love it. Everything else we had was excellent. Great place to eat before an event downtown. Casual dress and an affordable place so pick something else if you are looking for upscale night. You can never go wrong if looking for taco's downtown.”
“Not only has bar sawa met all expectations, but exceed other omakase experiences I have had in Japan.
Balancing fresh in-season ingredients with perfect craftsmanship, the only downside was not having more courses. Highly recommend for anybody looking for exceptional quality food and drink in an amazing atmosphere.”
“Great service, tasty food, and amazing views. Good brunch spot.”

“Why go 3000 miles away it’s just as good as Pat steaks and they got a roast pork sandwich too”
“Really great quality food. From the tasty mushrooms in a perfect consistency sauce to the tender bistek. This place is a fun Filipino hot spot on Sawtelle! The Brussel sprouts, lumpia, pancit and adobo will fill you up! Portions are family style. Highly recommend!”
“First, Ian the owner is delightful. Approachable, kind and hip. The pizza, chefs kiss! The wine, as usual I had a chilled red, was stunning. Great to chill and read or take a date. I'll be back to visit for sure!”
“Exceeds expectations! Atmosphere is a bit loud, but it feels happy and like you’re at a big party. Excellent service, friendly staff and absolutely delicious food. My 10 grandson begged us to go when we were watching the grandkids for a week. It was a highlight of the week. All 3 kids, 5 years, 8 yrs and 10 loved it. Something for everyone!”

Outdoor Dining
“Wow. This place is a hidden gem, but easy to find with plenty of parking. They had a great atmosphere with welcoming vibes. Very clean inside and out, restrooms were spotless. Great place to take the family or just to grab a bite with some friends. Decorated nicely with taste. Service was fantastic. Staff was friendly and helpful. Their food was absolutely delicious and fresh. Words cannot describe their uniquely creative flavors so do yourself a favor and find out for yourselves, you will not be disappointed. From their tacos and sides to their full rotisserie chicken options, it's ALL delicious. I will definitely be going back, I'm hooked. Bravo to the founders/owners. See you all again soon.”
“LA COMIDA NO SE DIGA TA RICA...PERO LA QUE COBRA SU CUSTOMER SERVICE VALE PURA M”
“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.”
“Amazing food!!! Service was great. Gotta have the Pork shank and Pop Corn situation!!!”
“Spicy Tan Tan Tsukemen + Classic Tokyo Tonkotsu Ramen + Maitake Tempura & Egg Salad Bun + Shishito + Edamame + Tokyo Banana + Mango Kaki Gori @tonchinlosangeles”
“No kidding, these tacos and tostadas are TOP NOTCH. I love the poseidon tostada w hot sauce n ketchup n lime and shrimp tacos are divine. Thank you for existing!!”
“Absolutely loved it! Went there for my husband’s birthday in December. We ordered literally everything off the menu and everything tasted delicious!! Can’t wait to go ”
“Overall a cute little stop, with average food (except the eggs Benedict! It was amazing) It’s located in down town LA, so you are going to see homeless people, this is not the restaurants fault it’s just an LAism. Service was great and the overall vibe is super hollywood old silver screen but chic. Hash browns just tasted like any kind, and the soup was kind of tasteless; but the salad and eggs Benedict was great. They also have vegetarian options.”

“Great service, tasty food, and amazing views. Good brunch spot.”
“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 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.”
Online Reservation Available
“Amazing takeout family meal which features the most flavorful and delicious Char Siu Wagyu Short Rib with fluffy bao. All side dishes are well executed and delectable. One of the best staying at home meals I’ve had! Highly recommend it!”
“I attend The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Life Afterparty there and loved everything about Mother Wolf! The food was delicious, the staff were very friendly and the atmosphere was very cozy!”
“Great place to eat! We had our breakfast here and it was really nice. In the evening we went here again to have a quick bite, the staff was so friendly, kept the place open after 9pm and shared their left over pastries for free. 10/10 recommend.”
“Great service , great ambience, great margarita drinks overall, an awesome place with outdoor patio. Just beautiful.”
“We enjoyed a beautiful and delicious birthday brunch with my wife and mother in law. Food is beautifully presented and generous. Service was polite, friendly and prompt. The ambience was lively and fun, with a background soundtrack and decor that made you feel immersed. Have been to two of their locations, will continue to go back.
Parking: Street parking is metered and can be challenging. Just be patient.”
“We had such a wonderful time. Amazing wine & terrific food!”
“Quality food, service and relaxed environment. Totally understated as the staff assist where needed with a minimum of fuss as we enjoyed the experience.”

“AOC never disappoints. It's great for a romantic dinner or get-together with friends and family, for a special occasion or just random a Thursday. Our kids love the Spanish fried chicken and French fries. We love the creative cocktails and seasonal takes on fish, meat, and veg. For fresh, inventive, delicious food, there is no better place for the value. ”
“Spicy Tan Tan Tsukemen + Classic Tokyo Tonkotsu Ramen + Maitake Tempura & Egg Salad Bun + Shishito + Edamame + Tokyo Banana + Mango Kaki Gori @tonchinlosangeles”
“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.”
“I attend The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Life Afterparty there and loved everything about Mother Wolf! The food was delicious, the staff were very friendly and the atmosphere was very cozy!”

“Perfect place for friends night out!
Beef bone BBQ plate + cheese. One serving for three to four people, about 90 yuan.
I'll bake it in front of you. It's more than addictive.”
“Very clean nicely ran and pleasant environment when I went 8/15/2024. The Diablo burgers though! Omg ? ?
Kid-friendliness: Humble enough to bring kids definitely clean enough”
“The ice cream occasions truly delivers one of the best ice cream experiences. The flavors are incredibly rich and decadent, satisfying even the most discerning palates. The texture is perfectly creamy, creating a velvety smooth sensation with every bite. The variety of flavors available is impressive, catering to both classic and adventurous taste preferences. The ice cream occasion is a delightful treat for any ice cream lover.”
“The employees here are always a delight and really friendly. I appreciate their fast service as well.
Vegetarian options: Please bring back the Beyond Burgers”
“I do have a question, though. Can chili be shipped to Hawaii, so my Former Broworker, Tim Hawkins, can have a “Little taste of home?””
“I think Maya's across the road has more variety and subtlety but nothing beats the dark sauce (is it Chipotle?) these guys have! Amaze, one of the best in LA.
Update 2024: the sauce is still good. I think Asada is better than Pastor here”
“I had an exceptional experience at IHOP! The food, service, and atmosphere were really good. Our server, Brenda, went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we wanted and made our visit feel uniquely welcoming. She constantly checked up on us, was great to converse with, and was wonderful with my 1-year-old. The food was amazing, and the service was better than what we usually get from this big company. IHOP should definitely make Brenda a server trainer for all their restaurants. Highly recommend!”
“Our family decided to have a BBQ lunch in the city and our friends met us at Baby Blues. Looks like a hole in the wall kinda place but don't let that discourage you. Very friendly and professional waitstaff. And this hit of the day had to be the baby back ribs! Wow! We also munched on the shrimp poorboy and the pulled pork sandwich.”
“As a Bruin alumnus, I have a civic duty to report that Covel Commons is in fact the best dining hall on campus. Not only is the food delicious and convenient, but they have consistent good pizza. Sometimes DeNeve has better pizza, but honestly Covel takes the cake for its consistent, good food, convenience and atmosphere.”
“Great Korean BBQ & Attentive ServiceThis is a fantastic spot for authentic Korean BBQ in K-Town. I would rate this place a 4.5, but I'm giving it 5 stars to be generous. While it's not all-you-can-eat (which I actually prefer for a more focused dining experience), the quality of the food is top-notch. Their set menus come with a variety of delicious sides, including cheese corn and spicy noodles to finish. No more lunch box on the menu, but some of the best kimchi fried rice in K-Town—a must-try side dish.The restaurant is almost always buzzing, but the service is excellent. The staff is attentive and will even cook your food at the table for you if you'd like. The atmosphere is lively with good music and a fun crowd. It's conveniently located in Chapman Plaza, which offers a few other bars and restaurants, and is close to many other options on 6th Street.I noticed some reviews mentioning changes since COVID. While there have been some adjustments, the overall experience is still fantastic.Overall: this place is a must-try for anyone looking for delicious Korean BBQ with a fun vibe and great service.
Parking: The small lots in Chapman Plaza fill up quickly. There's a much more convenient option: the parking garage across S. Kenmore next to Woo Hyang Woo Korean BBQ (545 S Kenmore Ave, K 3 Parking). It's a flat $20 and stays open until 1 AM.”
Takeout Restaurants
“Melrose and the Phoenix are both phenomenal sandwiches. I really wish Ghost Pizza Kitchen wasn't collateral damage - it was a great pizza shop, but if you're leaving us with a great sandwich spot, I can't complain. Definitely worth a go if you're a sandwich person. I would recommend getting a to-go order since its pretty small quarters inside.”
“After a day out in Los Angeles, we decided to dine at this restaurant, and it turned out to be a delightful culinary journey. We opted for the Hansang Jeongsik with LA Galbi, Kkotge Doenjang Jjigae, and Grilled Fish, accompanied by an array of delectable banchan (side dishes).
The LA Galbi was a revelation—perfectly grilled, tender, and infused with a savory marinade that made every bite a burst of flavor. The Kkotge Doenjang Jjigae (soybean paste stew with crab) was a standout dish, with a rich and robust broth that perfectly complemented the sweetness of the crab, creating a deeply satisfying flavor profile. The grilled fish was expertly cooked, with a crispy exterior and moist, flaky interior, complemented by a hint of lemon.
The variety of banchan included everything from crisp, fresh greens to pickled delicacies, each adding its unique taste and texture to the meal. Every dish was prepared with care and presented beautifully.
The ambiance of this restaurant is equally impressive. The interior is modern yet cozy, with ample natural light flooding through large windows. The clean, sleek design is enhanced by touches of rustic charm, such as the wooden elements and tastefully arranged décor. The dining area is spacious, providing both comfort and privacy for a relaxed dining experience.
Service was impeccable. The staff were attentive, patient, and eager to ensure we had everything we needed, contributing significantly to our pleasant dining experience.
This Michelin-starred restaurant offers an exotic atmosphere that enhances the culinary delights. It provides not just a meal, but a memorable dining experience, making it a must-visit spot in Los Angeles. Highly recommended for food lovers of all ages!”
“Amazing place with an all vegetarian menu (with vegan options available). The staff is super friendly. The chef Mario offers great customisations. The Caprese pizza is to die for! Everything was delicious- from the salad, to appetizers, to the pizza. Service was quick. Food presentation was great.
Vegetarian options: All vegetarian menu”
“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~♡♡♡♡♡”
“This place has become our must go-to soondubu spot for me and my friend whenever visiting LA! It never disappoints, and always looking forward to going back for the goodness.”
“I love Pine & Crane! Seriously amazing Taiwanese food. The restaurant is stylish, modern and clean while the food is very authentic and completely delicious. My kids were surprised at how tasty everything was. Healthy too! We will def be back often!!!! If they have it, the lotus root salad is a must! 3 cup chicken is amazing, wontons, etc… I want to try the wood ear mushrooms next!!!”
“Great vegan food and friendly owners. Please visit . You will love the food..”
“Exceeds expectations! Atmosphere is a bit loud, but it feels happy and like you’re at a big party. Excellent service, friendly staff and absolutely delicious food. My 10 grandson begged us to go when we were watching the grandkids for a week. It was a highlight of the week. All 3 kids, 5 years, 8 yrs and 10 loved it. Something for everyone!”
“Superb place. Unfortunately Jonny Won (?) left couple of years ago but the current Chef is more than capable of upholding this restaurant's glowing reputation for exceptionally fresh ingredients and superb cooking skills. My only advice is to stick to fish and leave the meat dishes as, although nice, are not quite "wow" as they used to be.”
“Ambiance is exceptional!
The service was careful and attentive and the food is flavorful. For the price point I hesitate to recommend the chicken, and our pizza was a litttttle burnt but again the flavors are great. The Caesar salad really stood out for me. And I would definitely recommend this to a friend for an intimate dinner.”
“The chicken and the customer service are so good, I was getting cucked by one of the employees and I made sure to thank him before I left. Will be coming back ?”
“The experience was absolutely great and one of the best services I’ve received. Accidently bumped into their Monday/sunday sales which was 50% off per bottle and was amazing!”

Drive-Thru Restaurants
“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!”
“Small cute place , staff are really nice
I have a nut allergy and the lady was really good at telling me what was safe for me , and the food I ate was safe and gave me no issues of course
Delicious curry and good prices, everyone in my party loved their food
And the Thai tea was a perfect way to end the meal
Dietary restrictions: Safe ?”
“This is my second time here, and the quality and freshness of the fish is outstanding! The service is very welcoming and fast as well, making the whole experience very enjoyable! Highly recommended!”
“This place is awesome. Walk into the Delphi hotel lobby and through to your left, you’ll find this somewhat hidden gem.
I walked in and it took me less than 30 seconds to get seated by a friendly server. He let me have the pick of the place, as it was less busy as it was a Monday evening.
When you sit, you feel as though you’re in an elevated diner. There are large glass windows looking out to the courtyard if you’re up for a private, yet outdoorsy setting.
I chose to be a hermit inside though haha. I ordered the Delphi Double Smash burger and was so happy I did. In n Out ain’t got nothin on this place! It’s a similar smash burger idea, just executed better. The caramelized onions are a perfect touch as well. I ordered mine with tater tots which were cooked to a perfectly delicious brown crisp. I was also served a pickle spear. When I tasted it, I know it wasn’t just your run of the mill pickle. My server confirmed my suspicion and I was right! They make their own pickles in house!
The bartender let me taste a drink they were straw testing and I couldn’t believe how good it was! Who knew two ingredients could complement each other so well! I’m not giving away his secret, but if you’d like what I’m talking about, just ask him for his “Summer Crack” drink! Haha. I loved it!
It’s always strange traveling alone and eating in a restaurant by yourself. These guys made me feel right at home and I really appreciated it.
Bottom line, if you’re looking for elevated diner fare, look no further. If you’re looking for super friendly and attentive service, go nowhere else. If you’re looking for a pretty cool playlist that is at the perfect volume to still hear it but not drown out conversation, you found it!
When traveling, I try not to repeat the restaurants I visit, but it may not be possible for me this time around. I kind of want to come back here for breakfast tomorrow, but we’ll see!
10/10 recommend.”
“Totally worth the 70 minute drive. Delicious food and great Taiwanese hospitality. Friendly, attentive staff and wonderful atmosphere. Minced Pork (Lu-Rou) Rice, fully loaded delicious stewed pork with egg. Meats are juicy and tender, kinda on the sweet side. Clamshell bun (Gua Bao) comes with tender thick cut pork, a bit on the salty side, but very well cooked. Fatty but not greasy. Thousand layer pancake with egg and basil was crispy and flaky. The basil flavor is a wonderful addition. Scallion bread sandwich was what we expected. Same tender thick cut pork, very happy to eat this. Next time I will probably get the beef, too much pork belly today Wonton soup is very classic, if you like shrimp wontons, you have to try this. We ended the meal with Hakka mochi and Oolong tea, the mochi tasted just like the ones in Taiwan. The tea was fragrant and is just the perfect compliment to the mochi. Overall an amazing meal with warm and friendly people, highly recommend!”
“Delicious brunch today at Lemon Poppy. The whole family enjoyed it.”
“What a hidden treasure in WLA! The restaurant is a combination of delicious food, a wonderful staff and a fantastic owner!!!! The wings (and many other choices) are delicious and made with loving care. The food makes me smile!!!!!!”
“Yummy. Shawarma, pilaf, manti are delicious. Must to try!”
“The food,service and the atmosphere is amazing. The owner and his employees is very welcoming and friendly. Everything is clean and sanitized which is important for me. Food is AMAZING literally! This is about my 3rd time coming, and today makes the first time I came back since (renovations last year) and I was excited to see they added Mac and cheese to the menu. I ordered 2 ribs tip dinners which the wait time was under 10 minutes. YES MY FOOD WAS HOT AF! And the rib tips were just as I remembered them to be tender, flavorful and juicy. The sides portion size alone is bigger than there competitors. They definitely are worth the visit. The only reason I gave them 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the Mac and cheese. I was not a fan of the Mac ? and I wanted to like it so bad . The bake beans are fire. The Mac and cheese did not ruin it for me. I will definitely be back again.”
“It is a small deli located near sunset blvd. Mostly meant for grab and go but theres 4 seats if you want to eat there. I went during lunch time on Saturday and there was no one there. There is only street parking on the residence streets.
I had the chopped chicken on a roll and it was SUPER filling. I was full only halfway in. The taste is similar to chili. I had a bite of the Classic chopped cheese and its pretty much a philly cheese steak but chopped. Both super delicious”
“The most heavenly grilled cheese I've ever had before, the grown up cheese melt, along with creamy tomato soup, so so so delicious. I'm returning to order same meal again”
“Absolutely stunning dinner! An intimate setting with dishes that feel new and fresh. Staffed with the warmest people. Must try the soft shell crab hand roll and ube ice cream :~)”
Fine Dining
“Absolutely loved this experience. Thank you for this wonderful comfortable dinner. It’s exactly what I love. The restaurant is not big which I liked because it felt cozy and not super crowded. Non of the courses specifically stood out but everything was perfect. Service was absolutely incredible, always caring and super friendly. Loved how they kept giving extra courses and even adding a lovely Polaroid picture at the end. It’s crazy how they even thank us again by sending a letter to my address. Loved it and LOVED IT. Just go”
“One of the best Omakase experiences I've had. The seasonal menu was perfectly selected and prepared: mouthwatering, mellow, strong, buttery, delectable, comforting. We enjoyed every bite, it was a crescendo of flavors. Thank you to Joshua for the polite service. We'll be back.”
“Outstanding concept and unique experience commensurate with their newly appointed Michelin Star! We had the 7-Course Menu with the Supplemental Rib eye which was outstanding. I appreciated the Ribeye vs a Wagyu offering. Favorite dishes were the Grilled Job's tears, Burnt Murasaki Yam and Sweet Corn Ice Cream. Also added wine paring which was quite delicious!”
“I searched for a steakhouse to celebrate my anniversary. This was exceptional! Hands down one of the best steaks in Los Angeles! Empanadas and wine selection surpassed my expectation. Overall, great service, ambiance, and excellent cuisine. Generous portions. Highly recommend.”
“Excellent food, attentive staff and beautiful atmosphere. The food was full of flavor and delicious. Loved the vegan and vegetarian dishes! Each dish is diverse in texture and taste. Phenomenal experience and friendly chef and staff.
Vegetarian options: Tofu, salads, eggplant, veggie roll.”
“My boyfriend and I got the omakase but to be honest it was not worth it, the food tasted great but you can get almost the exact same course by ordering the 10 piece nigiri from the menu for half of the price. The atmosphere is nice but not appropriate for a traditional omakase. Highly recommend, just save your money and skip out on the omakase.”
“Chill atmosphere, fresh ingredients, crab rice was great. Highly recommend btw there is parking in the back but it can fill up. For gluten free they do sub stuff for you to make it gluten free but most of the menu is naturally GF anyway excluding soy sauce I believe”
“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!!”
“Deliberately hard to find from the outside, refined Japanese craftsmanship inside, with just enough Los Angeles flair.
Food is superb, and if you can snag a reservation to one of the Kaneyoshi x Inaba collaboration nights, it's even better, if that's believable. The latter are not cheap (paying two chefs, each with their own Michelin star, never is), but it's so good.
Parking: Garage parking. Small sign right by entrance.”
“We came here with a last-minute reservation, and the experience exceeded my expectations. The food was incredibly fresh and delicious, and the staff were welcoming and helpful.
This sushi bar offers both bar and regular seating, with options for omakase or individual orders. Even though we chose the regular seats, the chef greeted us warmly from the counter. Having visited many high-end sushi bars in NYC, I can confidently say that this place stands out with its unique charm. The ambiance is more casual and cheerful, with a light touch of western vibes, compared to some sushi bars that serve omakase only. The space is open, with soothing lighting and music.
The price is affordable and fair, given the quality of the food, which makes me wonder if sushi in NYC is somewhat overpriced. I had such a lovely meal and would definitely want to come back when I visit LA next time.”
“Amazing place with an all vegetarian menu (with vegan options available). The staff is super friendly. The chef Mario offers great customisations. The Caprese pizza is to die for! Everything was delicious- from the salad, to appetizers, to the pizza. Service was quick. Food presentation was great.
Vegetarian options: All vegetarian menu”
“I've come here quite a number of times now and the food is consistent and the atmosphere is lively, bright, and clean. They've got some good vegetarian options like the Sha Gua Noodles and the Bean Curd Bun. Good spot in downtown LA!”
“Outstanding concept and unique experience commensurate with their newly appointed Michelin Star! We had the 7-Course Menu with the Supplemental Rib eye which was outstanding. I appreciated the Ribeye vs a Wagyu offering. Favorite dishes were the Grilled Job's tears, Burnt Murasaki Yam and Sweet Corn Ice Cream. Also added wine paring which was quite delicious!”
“We had a fabulous night. Food was amazing and service is top notch!”
