“Food and wine selection at AOC is very good. The service is what stood out most. I dined here Monday night and the hostess was very kind. Michael our waiter really made our night. He had great menu and drink recommendations and his positive attitude was so infectious it really made our night. He really set the standard for amazing service. We will be back asap to see him!“
“Best upscale Filipino food on the Sunset strip!Will definitely be back.Try the lechon kawali and chicken skins! OMG! So heavenly!Our server was great and very sweet and seemed to genuinely care that our experience is nothing short of superb!“
“Very cozy diner with great atmosphere. Love the food with seasonal ingredients and creative flair, all very delicious. Great for friends gathering and a big menu for a lot of choices with different price point.Will love to come back if i was in town again!“
“We came here for the second time today and it was so much better than the first! Chris was an amazing server and was very quick and nice. The food was very good and the sides we were given were also very good. Great experience thanks to Chris!“
“Fusion Filipino restaurant with natural wine and Filipino beer selection. After trying many under-delivered fusion Filipino restaurants, Spoon and Pork easily takes the crowd to have the best executed fusion style dishes. We had the sinigang, grilled chicken, adobo chicken wings, pork belly, and garlic rice, and none of them disappointed.Sinigang's soup was rich and flavorful while the topping in the soup was cooked separately so they are not over cooked. The ribs came with a real nicely grilled flavored. The pork belly had crispy skin as expected and the fat to meat ratio was really good. The adobo chicken wings sauce was thick and sticky and not too salty nor sour, we kept the sauce for dipping Even after the wings were devoured.We are glad we took another chance in another fusion Filipino restaurant and we'll keep S&P on our rotation.“
“One of my favorite restaurants in LA. The food is consistently great, the bar program is creative, the service is friendly, and the vibe is chill and fun (especially on the patio and at the bar). Unlike almost all restaurants serving small plates they do not make you order everything at once or rush out the food, so meals here feel luxuriously relaxed.You can't really go wrong with the menu but in particular do not miss the boquerones y mantequilla, which is a brilliant dish.“
“Amazing restaurant with class and vibe. The food and drinks were so good. I would definitely come back here. In addition they have live jazz on Wednesdays and other nights. This is a a great place to come and chill. The chicken liver mousse is a must with some bread.Vegetarian options: Mushrooms were awesomeParking: Park in the back lot is free“
“Terrific restaurant to get Japanese street food. The staff is very friendly and provides great service. The food is made to order fresh. The grilled vegetables are all very good. The forbidden rice bowl had an amazing array of flavors throughout.“
“We almost drove right by the restaurant because there was no sign, but fortunately we found our way in to the cozy bungalow dining room. We ordered the turmeric fish hotpot which was full of flavor with crispy rice and soft flavor fish that was amazing. Everything else we ordered did not disappoint--the watercress salad with beef was fresh and tender, steamed rice cakes with shredded shrimp and taro root crispy rolls were unique spins on traditional dishes that were really shareable and delicious. Definitely will come back!“
“The most authentic Thai restaurant we have found in LA! Very close to what you'll experience in Thailand. We ordered the Som Tum, Tom Yum soup, pumpkin curry, Pad Thai, Eggplant, Hot Basil with tofu (probably a bit more plain than we expected), Pad Woon Sen (most SoCal Thai restaurants botch it, but Chao Krung Thai masterfully presented a perfect, dry, fried version) and mango sticky rice. I would come back again in a heartbeat. Among the cons are difficult parking, slow service and very dark interior.“
“Bit of a pricey spot, but so worth it! Got the intestine hotpot, gyoza stuffed wings, and oysters. Hotpot comes only with intestine, cabbage, chives, and noodles, so we ended up adding tofu pork meat. Such a good choice for a cold night. Fattiness of intestines was umami and not overwhelming, especially when paired with the yuzu kosho. Noodles were thick and the perfect texture. Wings taste exactly what the sound like and had a nice grilled flavor. Oysters were very fresh and refreshing.“
“Holy Basil is instant comfort that teleports you home. The dishes are flawlessly executed and the flavors are consistently on point. The vibe of this hidden gem reminds you of your family’s kitchen and I feel like a kid again full of excitement from the escaping aromas. I lean heavy into firing the menu family style and always look forward to memorable meals shared. Their take out withstands LA traffic to the far away land of Santa Monica. Service is hands down the friendliest in town.“
“We've come here a few times and the food and drinks are generally pretty good. Decent ambiance and looks like it was originally a house that was converted into a restaurant. Making reservations can be a bit of a process. Rarely will someone pick up the phone, but there is a way to make reservations online through their website which does require a credit card deposit and for you to sign up with this reservations app. Some items on the menu are a bit overpriced as some other reviewers mentions, but we would definitely come back.“
“What great little discovery! My wife and I were exploring DTLA on a sleepy rainy Sunday and happened upon this great sushi restaurant off of Santa Fe Ave in Downtown LA. The sign from the street read, “Happy Hour 3-6pm daily!”We stopped in to get the Mrs some tasty sushi.Kombu Sushi was a cozy bright fantastic surprise!Great fresh fish, chill atmosphere, and excellent service!We were given seared yellowtail sushi as well as lynchee mochi ice cream.They were so nice.We will definitely be back soon!“
“When the yearning for authentic Spanish cuisine beckons, "La Paella" emerges as a culinary beacon, brilliantly capturing the essence of Spain's rich gastronomic landscape. From the moment we stepped through the doors, the ambiance transported us back to the vibrant streets of Spain, enveloped in warmth and the tantalizing aroma of spices.The service was nothing short of exemplary, with staff members who not only knew the menu inside out but also shared their enthusiasm for the flavors and traditions of their dishes. Each recommendation was spot on, adding to the overall delightful experience.The star of the evening was undoubtedly the squid ink paella. Its bold flavors and perfectly cooked seafood were a testament to the chef's mastery. Each grain of rice was infused with the deep, oceanic essence of squid ink, creating a dish that was as visually arresting as it was delectable. Every plate brought to our table was a hit, making it a thoroughly enjoyable dining experience for the whole family."La Paella" has certainly set a high standard for Spanish cuisine outside of Spain. It's a gem worth returning to, and we are already planning our next visit to delve deeper into the menu. If you're seeking an authentic taste of Spain, this is a place you won't want to miss.“
“Consistently the best ramen in La hands down vegan or otherwise. Rich broth, Quick Service great atmosphere. Just down the road is donut friend 5 minute walk away which is a huge Plus for dessert after a killer bowl of ramen nudes with the best King oyster mushroom“
“I was invited to Juliana for my Instagram food blog (@catrinoms) and had a fantastic experience! This restaurant is so beautiful and every dish is so creative and gorgeous. My favorite was the blueberry steak — such a surprising combination and so delicious! Definitely recommend this spot for date night or hanging out with friends. The vibes are on point!“
“Very cute sushi place with a theme of their cute dog. Such a cozy spot for simple yet very intimately. They have sake to pair with sushi and also many cute merchandise. Indoor and outdoor seatings available.Highlights of the menu:1. Sashimi2. Sushi lunch box3. Roll“
“I've been really into wine bars lately and decided to check out Mignon. The bar is so dark that I had to whip out my phone and used the flashlight to read the menu lol. Staff is super friendly and provided great recs! +Mixed and match of cheese and charcuterie 5/5: Our server recommended some soft cheeses and less salty meats, and everything tasted delicious! + NY steak 5/5: Wow, I didn't have much expectations of an $18 steak but it's one of the most well-seasoned steak I've ever had. It's so soft and juicy as well. I was so impressed. Apparently there's only a limited amount of steak! + Uni spaghetti 3/5: Unfortunately, the uni was kinda fishy otherwise it would've been tasty. Overall, I had a great time at Mignon and would come back again for HH!“
“Was not expecting this great food worthy of any restaurant. The ceviche was good. The stake was amazing. The tacos were amazing, chicharon was on point ,and taco shrimp was amazing , and I was not expecting this kind of quality from a bar. O and the music were on point. First time here, and I highly “
“I can only speak from a food pick up perspective, but for the affordable price point it's Soo good! definitely recommend their California roll, salmon skin and Philadelphia roll! We typically get four roll and two miso soups which is just perfect for us and for about ~$50 for a whole meal for two not bad at all! definitely will eat in next opportunity“
“Great spot! I came here 10 years ago, and was delighted to find out it is still open. Same charm: dark wood, sweeping curtains, smokey cocktails, red leather couches, jazz music. We had the chicken bites, a glass of cab sauv, and one of the lychee cocktails. Everything was good but the lychee wasn't overwhelmingly good- I will probably switch to a whiskey based drink next time. The chicken was a perfect small bite to pair with drinks. Everyone there seemed to be a pair: first dates, deep conversations, etc. There are tables in the main room, couches in the fireplace room, and a long bar.“
“A great snack restaurant! If you come before 8 o'clock, it's happy hour, so you can enjoy more value for money than other K-Town bars :)However, if you go when there are too many people and it is noisy, your voice may be heard :) Good luck with your guessing game :)“
“obsessed! what a cute spot right on Sunset Blvd. it's hard to find restaurants w/ good vegan options & all the dishes here were phenomenal. particularly enjoyed the broccolini, mushroom & potato, green goddess salad, mushroom risotto!! the hummus was fire too. service was great , it's a total vibe inside. we came on a sunday night & it was jampacked. definitely coming back!“
“Very nice ambiance. Came for dinner with family. Server was good. Ordered the cuckoo's nest to drink. It was like a refreshing cucumber juice. We ordered the Gypsy bacon pizza, paella, crispy ribs and tomahawk steak. The pizza tasted like a sandwich with the bacon, tomatoes, and pickles. The crispy ribs were really good, soft and tender. The paella came with pasta which was different but good. The sausage that came in the paella was really tasty and the shrimp was pretty big. I was getting so full once I got to the tomahawk steak but it was very juicy and great flavor.“
“Service was great, and the restaurant is a fun vibe. Go with a big group so you can try a variety of dishes. We tried the cauliflower, beets, hummus, panzanella salad, oyster mushrooms, branzino, potatoes, and some friends had the rib eye. For dessert we tried the baklava pie and the olive oil ice cream. The panzanella was my favorite dish, but overall everything was solid. It's in a small strip mall and has a few parking spots which is an added bonus.“
“Felt like taking my online class at a cool cafe, and upon looking for Yellow House Cafe, I found it had changed to Anju House. I was super excited to go and try it out, and I'm so glad I did! As before, the patio area is so lovely. There's heaters all around too, so no need to worry about the cold. The staff was AMAZING, and I do not exaggerate when I say they went above and beyond for me -- they literally brought out an extension cord so I could charge my laptop. I was excited to try the food, which I will say was a little bit out of my budget at the moment, however includes things like corn cheese, kimchi fried rice, and even birria ramen! I ended up getting a spicy ramen which was on the cheaper end. Overall great experience, and can't wait to go back with some friends.“
“Can't say enough about this place! They've thought of everything. Such a unique entrance into their speakeasy that leads into a very vibey romantic atmosphere. The service was excellent and checked in on us just enough to where we felt taken care of but not rushed. The food and drinks were incredible and we cannot wait to go back! And omg the glassware for their delicious cocktails were the cutest!“
“Consistent, great food, feels delicious, healthy and nourishing. Menu is pretty small, which means to me that they do what they do well and dont have to wow you with quantity and diversity. Even though it's a modest menu, the choices are great. All around one of my favorites. Also, service is always great.“
“One of the better yakitori restaurant around the LA area! I usually make reservation before heading over especially during the weekend because it gets packed. It's on the 3rd floor of the Alameda building next to X-lanes and above the Korean market. Service is usually on and off- some days you get great service and some day it takes 15 minutes before you get to place an order or even get water. Food is on the more expensive side but tastes delicious. The sautéed skirt steak with shishito peppers appetizer, however, was not worth and very salty. Parking is free with validation from the restaurants or market.“
“I've been here a few times and am always pretty happy. The service is prompt, the drinks are good and alcohol forward, and the mid-lobby location is convenient and approachable. Some of the drinks are pricy, but I think that is more justifiable given the bar's prestigious location right next to the Crypto center.“
“While I was staying at the hotel, this became my go-to place to sit and get something to eat when I didn't feel like going out. The indoor/outdoor flow is perfect on a nice night if it's cool enough to sit by the fire. The drinks are incredible variations on classic cocktails, but the bartenders are knowledgeable and can make you anything with their stocked bar. My only complaint I had is that the bar has inconsistent hours. Some of the evenings they were closed by 11:00 and some it was open until well after midnight or 1:00. I was told this is guided by how busy they are on any given night. Keep this in-mind before you plan an evening around a nightcap.“
“First time here and it did not disappoint! Staff was so cool and friendly, front door man was a sweetheart. DJ playing great music and everyone on the dance floor were beyond fun to dance around. I've never felt so welcomed in a dance environment like that.“
“This place is busy and very lively vibe. The service here is excellent. I tried their Hakata Ramen + gyoza combo on this visit. I had my customized my ramen same as i would do at Ichiran. I find the ramen to be above average for me. So i was expecting to be blown away by the flavor unfortunately that was not the case. I consider their ramen to be above average, its just i had better ones. Btw the gyoza was excellent.“
“For a ramen place their ramen is pretty average, would probably go again if I'm in the area and craving but wouldn't go out of my way to dine there.The ramen doesn't taste as balanced as I'd like, the spring onion taste really took over the broth but it was still quite decent.The gyoza was okay too, nothing special.“
“Definitely a good spot to hang out and have drinks with friends. The servers were really nice. The only problem for me was the popcorn shrimps were pretty disappointing, there were more flour then the actual shrimps. I love shrimps so I was pretty disappointed about it. Overall of that, everything else was amazing. I would definitely go back.“
“Amazing diverse Mexican cuisine. Everyone can find something for him/herself. The food is fresh, full of flavor, and the prices are reasonable. I recommend Tacos Tu Mądre and I will definitely come back!!!They also have a lot of choice for vegans!“
“This is a 5+++, as you would be hard-pressed to find a more creative, flavorful and truly life-changing pasta meal than at Cento. The Spicy Pomodoro Pasta may be the singularly most delicious pasta dish on earth. The lamb meatballs… to die for. The grilled octopus, OMG. Pasta will never be the same for you. The beet spaghetti? Just ask Luca… it becomes part of you. Highly recommended.“
