Teppanyaki Restaurants near Los Angeles, CA

“I was invited to this restaurant that is inside of Level 8 in DTLA.

It’s a nice place. It’s an experience for sure.

It was crowded! It was a Saturday night; after all.

Courteous staff greeting. Pleasant servers.

Crispy and cold champagne. Stiff cocktails.

Overall good food; the beet salad WOW!

It did seem a little unorganized all together and all around.

First course was a salad and it took almost 30 minutes to come out. I finally asked the server who was a darling: (Dionne) Are you short staffed?

She replied; “no we’re not short staffed, it’s coming.”

After the salad it all seemed to have fallen into place.

A magician came to our table and he was somewhat funny. He definitely made the wait for food seem shorter as he entertained us with his cards.

I had a good time. Too crowded for me. Too loud, too. I’ve never been to a restaurant for dinner this crowded and this loud.

My date and I walked next door (literally) to Wanderlust and the live band was good. A Dj came after and was good, too. We had a table but our server came once and never again. Frankly; Wanderlust seemed over capacity.

We left early because it was too packed and couldn’t get a second round of cocktails at our table.

There was a lot of people standing in front of our table and in particular two very tall men in their grey, sweat pants and sweat shirt, sets.

Where did the dress code go? It’s L. A and it’s a Saturday night people! Cmon…..

I recommend experiencing Maison Kasai at least once.

Again, for me, the beet salad was the MVP of the night.

Hope you’re all enjoying your summer……“

“Food is good Nd worth every penny“

“Amazing poke bowl (repeat order) with fresh salmon and/or tuna, avocado, seaweed salad, kani salad, cucumbers, ginger and wasabi on sushi rice- like a monstrous sushi roll! The lady taking the counter orders is cheery, friendly and has a good time remembering the orders of regular customers :) While the ambiance is bare bones for dine-in, the food and service is really what you come for.“

“I love Hibachi Papi Westwood the best tasting ever the yum yum sauce the spice the flavors go crazy and the owner Josh is hands down delivering top flight customer service! I drove 2000 plus miles from Chicago to enjoy this great food great location great staff!“

“Sensational and delicious, however I found the price a little high but that's not the reason for the four stars. I waited 25 minutes without any explanation at the store door. Other customers who ordered after me and with larger orders received the same before me. I'll still be back, I'll just order more in advance. The meat was at the medium doneness I ordered, perfect.“

“the food never disappoints! and it just makes you want more.“
