Tapas Restaurants in Los Angeles, CA

“So good!!! Amazing. Love the food. The bok choy pot stickers OOOF! The best. 💜💜💜👑👑👑🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🕺🏽🕺🏽🕺🏽🕺🏽💞💞💞💝💝👨‍❤️‍👨🧡“

“This is a very popular place as it gets crowded even before normal dinner time. The semi-indoor/outdoor seating area is clean and relaxing.“

“The food is phenomenal!! Everything is amazing“

“We had such a wonderful time. Amazing wine & terrific food!“

“The food was complexly flavorful, and very thoughtfully presented. The trout escabeche and the mushroom ragout coca were the stand outs to us. However, although we mentioned this was our first anniversary dinner, it went un acknowledged by our the host and server and we felt largely ignored by our waitstaff. So not a good place to go if you’re celebrating something big.“

“Oh what a night, great food, great service….“

“Good service and experience for Korean BBQ.specially the rice paper loved by many diner.“

“Always a good interaction when coming to Z Falafel. The cooks are such nice guys and always so helpful when I may ask about one of their many options on the menu. I always try to switch up my plate when I come here and not once have I had a disappointing meal from this location. Keep going hard!“

“I came in for lunch to grab a quick snack and get some editing done on my phone. I just ordered a sake cocktail that they made delicious! And i also ordered the chicken meatball skewer, which came paired with egg to dip and I loved that sweet with salty combination so much! I would say I couldnt really get any work done on my phone as I don’t believe its a work friendly place although the tables are great to do so. They dont have outlets anywhere near the tables so if you need to charge your laptop or phone here is impossible to do unless behind the bar.
I just ready a book for a bit and enjoyed my cocktail and snack. I do think the atmosphere is more of a come in with friends and share a meal and gossip a bit. Or for dinner I think its also a great spot. I loved what i tried although it wasnt much. I would come again with a friend to have some cocktails and some snacks as the food and drinks were really delicious!“

“This review is long over due. Honestly this place is nothing without Stephen. We have over the last almost three years been coming here for the wine. The monthly wine events are nothing short of a mini vacation with the journey through the region Stephen takes you on. He is brilliant in his craft, very knowledgeable and welcomes everyone with a warm smile. Someone we look forward to seeing along side a glass of wine we always know we will want to take home. Ask for Stephen and enjoy a glass of wine. Get the burger ❤“

“This cozy little place had such a great vibe, and the food completely won us over. Every dish was packed with flavor, and the cocktails were creative, fun, and seriously delicious. It was one of those meals where everything just came together perfectly. Already telling friends they need to check this spot out because it's the kind of place you'll want to visit again and again.“

“I LOVE this place. The food the atmosphere, both amazing. Of the small plates please try the sweet potato chaat and the cauliflower dish. Of the large plates, I’ve tried 3-4 and all were really good. Great for dates, casual hangouts, and to get a bit drunk with delicious bites.“

“Jilli is just a really good spot. The food is solid, the makgeolli is so addicting, and the risotto is surprisingly soooooo gooood. But the staff is honestly the highlight. They’re genuinely friendly and fun without being over the top about it, not to mention very knowledgable about the selections. The kind of place that just has a good vibe and makes you want to come back.“

“Great setting and great Sushi two thumbs up 👍🏽“

“After gym and resting in a bit, we headed over to Mignon on 6th Street for dinner. As it was Happy Hour from 4pm to 7pm, we had the red and white house wine each at $5. For $5, the price and quality is really quite good. We also had the ham and brie ($11) and prosciutto and butter ($11) sandwich. Tom enjoyed the prosciutto sandwich which had the fatty bits while Kate enjoyed the brie. We enjoyed the way our sandwiches were prepared – gourmet, with pickles on the side and sweet mustard. Love the vibes where the staff gave us space, despite being seated “at the bar”...

“We were invited by friends who love this restaurant and now we do too. We had several small-ish plates of dumplings, some delicious jerky (yes, jerky!), stir fry, noodles, tofu, fish on rice, and the list goes on. Every single dish was impeccably prepared and delicious. We will be back!“

“Big portions and good food! We ordered the kimchi pancakes, beef bulgogi with crystal noodles, and the tteokbokki noodle dish. I really enjoyed the pancakes, they were delicious and flavorful. My second favorite dish was were the tteokbokki noodles, they were thick and the mix of veggies and sauce all together really made the dish great.
The beef bulgogi and crystal noodles were good, but I feel that the bulgogi maybe could've had more flavor or seasoning. We also had some pork belly (not pictured), and this was my least favorite dish because of the flavoring.“

“Great setting and great Sushi two thumbs up 👍🏽“

“cause they doooopppe ya heard ?“

“心の居酒屋です🏮 モツなべなど　博多メニュー充実“

“Fantastic spot with a nice array of food and drink options. For food we had the wings (delicious), Nashville Fried Chicken Sandwich (very tasty) and the chicharron pizza with green sauce (super cheesy on a thin crust). Their house ranch was tasty too.“

“Everything that I oder was tested good. And nice servers.“

“This restaurant is seriously slept on. There should be a line out the door (not that I wanna wait to eat all the delicious food). They're serving up elevated comfort food with a carefully curated sake list. We often imbibe a bit too much of said carefully curated sake list, so I don't have photos for every item we've had. We love both the sushi and izakaya items

Yellowtail carpaccio: fresh melt-in-your-mouth fish, lightly dressed with olive oil so that the true flavors shine through. There are salt and spice on the side of you want a little more zing (though the jalapenos provide enough zing for most palates).

Ankimo sashimi: so smooth and silky, perfectly dressed to highlight the flavors without overpowering it.

Summer roll: balanced combination of delicate blue crab, piquant spicy tuna and creamy avocado wrapped in radish (perfect for those trying to stay away from carbs).

Kurobata corn dogs: arrived at our table, still piping hot. Just perfectly fried. Batter light and crispy and the meat juicy and succulent.

Lobster hush puppies: their timing on their fried items is amazing. These, too, arrived at our table fresh out of the fryer. The batter is well-seasoned, light (but not too airy and unsubstantial) with enough density and chew to create the best texture, and the sweetness of corn and langoustine sprinkled throughout.

Grilled black cod: buttery fish with a hint of miso, served with mushrooms on top.

Miso eggplant: I don't know what magical incantations and techniques are used on this dish, but people who actively don't like eggplant love this dish. It's caramelized deliciousness. Straight-up witchcraft I tell you.

Pork gyoza: juicy pork encased in thin wrappers, left long enough on the pan to create a crispy layer on the bottom (Maillard reaction, boys and girls), with thinly sliced scallions on top for freshness and zest.

Bacon mochi: blistered (but, magically, not burnt) and bubbly mochi wrapped in crispy, salty, fatty bacon. You bite into the mochi and it has the most ridiculous stretch, like mozzarella! The mochi provides the perfect blank canvas for the bacon.

Fish tacos: light, crispy batter on the flaky fish with fresh veggies on top. I daresay I felt healthy eating these tacos.

Sauteed scallops with ponzu: scallops cooked (not overcooked, not undercooked) to a perfect texture that retains the natural sweetness of scallops, which contrasts beautifully with the savory-tangy-umami elixir created by ponzu and butter. The sauce is so delicious that we always order a side of rice to get every last drop.“

“Amazing spot! Highly recommend. Half off wine bottles on wine Wednesday. The service was excellent. The wine was arguably the best I've ever had. If you're in silverlake or echo park I couldn't recommend this place more! Get the Soulvaki party platter and split between two. Perfect date night. Delicious light food!“

“Best Thai food in LA! 🔥🔥🔥“

“We love the food here, but please don't use ai photos. Especially the kbbq taco, in the photos its a cuts of medium rare steak, meanwhile its actually ground beef. Im fine with enhancing the photos with ai but, please don't use ai generated photos. Just saying, but also, the food is amazing. I feel like it will trow some people off and they we leave bad reviews. Please bring back the old real pictures, because the real food looks even better.“

“The drinks are good and friendly people. Great vibes!“

“this place has great drinks, good food and an awesome vibe! I just love how it's hidden too. So clean and the staff is so nice. I will definitely be back!“

“대박 맛있음~ 써비스도 최고!! I recommend this little hole in the wall place~ 쨘!! 대박나세요~“

“Great wine different flights to sample. You can even buy bottles“

“While the ramen is quite good, try their other non-ramen offerings. Katsu curry rice is very good here (katsu pork was prepared perfectly and curry flavorful) as well as their gyudon (beef over rice). Service as fast, friendly and attentive and the dining area was very clean. Value for the meal is excellent especially for West LA! Cannot recommend enough!“

“the Ramen was good and the broth was very tasty! kudos to our waiter who had a lot of patience with us with ordering because it was our first time there.“

“Thank you to our server Maria for being absolutely marvellous. She was not only the best server ever, but gave us amazing tips on where to go and what to do while in LA. Thanks to Maria, we visited great art galleries and had beautiful meals. Can’t thank her enough!“

“No vegan food options. Very few food options in general. They don’t have a hostess so we had to just catch a waitress walking by us. The seating is really only designed for drinks, not for actual plates. I had a Caesar salad minus sardines and the dressing had too much horseradish. The view is 10/10“

“Cozy restaurant in an old school shopping plaza with a free parking lot. Has by far the best all day specials on the Westside on sake, sushi and apps. I am a big fan of their eel but my friend really liked the octopus balls (the kind with the fish flakes that move eek!) Bento box is a really generous size. Low-key, like if you took a diner and mixed it with a sushi place. Seems like a spot for locals.“

“My family and I had such a wonderful experience here! The food was delicious, but what truly made our visit special was our server, Zeeshan. From the moment we arrived, he made us feel welcomed and valued. He was incredibly kind, attentive, patient, and professional throughout the entire meal.

We accidentally had a mix-up with part of our order, and Zeeshan handled it with such a positive attitude and genuine care. He quickly helped resolve everything and made sure we were completely satisfied. It’s rare to come across customer service this exceptional.

Thank you, Zeeshan, for making our night so enjoyable. Your kindness and dedication did not go unnoticed. The food was fantastic, but Zeeshan outstanding service is what will bring us back. Thank you for making our night so special!“

“Dope DJs, good food, tasty drinks!“

“spacy garlic edamame is vary delicious.!!“

“Came here with my daughter for a much-needed mom & daughter day out, and I’m SO glad we made a trip to Tu Madre! 🌮💗

From the frozen mango slushy to the Cabo Agua Fresca, it was the perfect way to start our meal. 🥭🍹 Both were refreshing, delicious, and instantly put us in the mood to enjoy our afternoon together.

We started with the queso and chips appetizer, because honestly, you can never go wrong with queso! 🧀 Then we ordered the Chicken & Lime Protein Bowl and a Birria Burrito. Everything was absolutely amazing!

We were actually ready to leave when our waiter suggested the Red Velvet Churros. We almost passed because we were already stuffed, but I’m SO glad we listened to his recommendation!“

“Atención cordial super amable. Deliciosa comida insuperable y en plato grande, los precios súper económicos. Para combatir el calor pida una refrescante kola champán heladita. Pantalla inmensa de televisión. En el interior del local pueder ver maceteros de plantas muy bien conservadas. Para la vista al exterior calle Hill hay una ventana grande y la puerta principal. Te encantará.“

“We love all the dish we ordered!“

“This is my second birthday celebrated here and it was even better the second time. So easy to work with and the food and service was amazing.“

“This is by far my favorite local Ramen place. 🍜 Spicy, spicy, spicy! 🌶“

“Tasty chicken wrap. Limited beer selection, but nice quiet location in the terminal to enjoy it. Excellent service.“

“We came to celebrate our nieces birthday and we had a great time!!
From the valet parking crew to the host and the waiters. The view were amazing, the drinks were on point and the food was delicious 😋
Totally recommend La Lo La Rooftop 10 out of 10!!“
