“We had excellent food and service from Kenni!”

“Strong drinks, nice ambiance, great servers, but the food was just average.”

“I have been to several Hopdoddy locations in Austin, Texas, and absolutely loved them. So when I found out there is a Hopdoddy in LA not far from me, I really wanted to check it out, and it didn’t disappoint. It was just as good as the other locations I’ve visited.

I ordered the classic burger with cheese and a truffle fries. The fries were really good - crispy, flavorful, and topped with Parmesan cheese. The fries is what I really love here. it tastes better than in other fast food chains.
The sauce the fries came with was delicious too. The portion was pretty big, enough for 2–3 people to share.

The burger was great. The beef patty was big, juicy and tender, and all the ingredients tasted fresh. The bun had a slightly sweet flavor. The price is pretty good for this burger.

The restaurant itself looks great, it super clean with plenty of seating. There are lots of tables inside, including some with sofas, there is a bar in the center, and they also have a nice outdoor patio. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and they cooked everything pretty quickly.

Overall, I had really good experience. Probably one of the best burger chain in the US. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to get some good burger.”

We had an amazing brunch experience at Hash. The food was absolutely delicious—every bite was perfection! Connie, the manager, went above and beyond to make our visit special. Her positive attitude and helpfulness truly made our time there so pleasant. The area is also really nice, with a great vibe for enjoying a meal. Can’t wait to come back!”

“My experience working with Joliet for a recent 50-person dinner event was absolutely stellar. From start to finish, the planning process was incredibly easy and stress-free.

First off, the venue itself is simply beautiful. Located inside Free Market at Runway Playa Vista, it offers a sophisticated yet comfortable atmosphere that was perfect for our group. Beyond the aesthetics, the owners are truly amazing. They were incredibly accommodating, responsive, and genuinely invested in making our event a success, including building a menu from scratch to fully meet our event needs. Their passion for what they do shines through in every interaction.

When it came to the evening's offerings, Joliet truly delivered! The dinner food was incredibly yummy, with a diverse and delicious menu that catered to various tastes and dietary needs. Our group raved about the quality and presentation of every dish. The open bar was also a huge hit, with a fantastic selection of cocktails and beverages that kept everyone in great spirits throughout the evening.

Finally, the day-of logistics were flawlessly executed. The team at Joliet handled every detail with professionalism and efficiency, from the dinner service flow to ensuring the bar ran smoothly, allowing us to relax and enjoy the event without a single worry.

I highly recommend Joliet to anyone planning a dinner event, big or small. Their stunning venue, amazing owners, easy planning process, delicious dinner and open bar, and impeccable day-of execution make them a top-tier choice for any occasion. We will absolutely be back for future events!

Thank you Alex and Olivia! You make such a positive impact on the Playa Vista community and the people who dine at your restaurant.”

“Good! Service was a little slow but otherwise good. Nice place. Food and wine done well.”

“I’ve never had a more pleasant experience than when I met friends there for great ambiance and wonderful food. Thanks ☮️DWR 🎵”

“I love Tocaya. It is super clean, and it’s the only place that I know that serves blue corn tortillas, so that’s a plus! The food is super fresh and delicious! I wish the salsas were more spicy, but that’s all I can say! The staff is super chill and helpful.”

“My favorite coffee beans. Good people are excellent seriously”

“We love this place and eat here twice a week. The owner, Peter hires only helpful employees. The food is fresh and consistently delicious! The salted caramel baklava cheesecake is the best dessert ever!”

“This is a really nice and well-stocked Whole Foods. I had to pick up a few things while I was waiting for someone to arrive at the airport and I found everything I needed here. They even have convenient free parking underneath the store.”

“Warm, hands on and personalized service. A Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant…Food Made from Scratch, fresh, unique, different, and affordable. Highly recommended! The red onion focaccia bread with herb and Parmesan butter, added Burrata - best- seller, a must. The 3 day brined smoked fried chicken-different taste, with soy and Chiles, a must!!!The Peruvian pork belly with sweet potato , Criolla and crispy quinoa , love it! And the Grilled NY steak with green garlic chimichurri, chorizo aioli and pommes pont neuf, thick cut fries…my son prefers over the fried chicken.”

“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.”

“Great spot for lunch or dinner”

“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.”

“Excellent food and fantastic service😊”

“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.”

“The tasting menu is full of unique seafood dishes, and the portions are generous.”

“#AmazingBar #ORBarWEHO 🥰”

“Great, family-owned place with delicious, authentic Indian comfort food at reasonable prices (3 entrees, shareable appetizer, Naan, drinks, and 20+% tip for <$85). Servers were attentive, owners greeted everyone, atmosphere was welcoming.”

“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.”

“We had an awesome date night at Amour WeHo. We started with caviar, escargot, and frog legs. We followed that with the burger and a Caesar salad with lobster. We enjoyed a nice bottle of wine with our dinner. The service was outstanding. All of the staff was great. This was our first visit and we are so happy that we found this place. We will be back soon.”

“Why go 3000 miles away it’s just as good as Pat steaks and they got a roast pork sandwich too”

“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.”

“Good time for my family when we visit L.A”

“Although I was a little put off by the paper plate table settings… this was by far the most delicious food I’ve had… a wildly unexpected treat! Simple yet brilliant flavors using incredible olive oil… it’s my new favorite place! Highly recommended…”

“Wonderful service and outstanding food.”
