Restaurants near Playa Vista

“We had excellent food and service from Kenni!”

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

“This was a top 3 culinary book experience of my life. Alex the owner is an incredible visionary. The pairings of food and drink was nothing short of amazing.

My wife and I came for our 3 year wedding anniversary, I didn’t know what to expect and we were completely blown away. If you see sandwiches on the menu and you’re like “hmmm that seems too casual for me” you. Couldn’t be more wrong, the food was some of the best I’ve had in a very very long time - the flavors, the combination.. all of it, OUTSTANDING. If you’re reading this and are curious about trying Joliet, just go! You won’t regret it!”

I’ll definitely be back. ❤”

“I’ve been at least 4-5 times now - obsessed with the vietnamese iced coffee! I get the mocha one. I love that they let you adjust the sweetness level and actually make your drink based on the sweetness request. My kid got a passion fruit tea with boba and loved it. I tried a sample of their matcha tea and it is the real deal. Amazing alternative to ⭐️💵, this is my iced coffee go-to in this area now!”

“Good Japanese foods , many varieties of dishes . The fish grilled sea bass is cooked just perfectly fine . The salad is kinda american Japanese fusion but still good . The carbonara noodle - I don’t really care (It doesn’t really fit with the rest of the dishes) - overall is a great place to enjoy Japanese foods”

George was our bartender and he was patient and helped us navigate the menu, David, the GM was personable and very accommodating, the Owner Chef Ray came out to say hello and grace us with a picture. phenomenal experience! thank you”

“Experience was great from the start. The our host Camille really set the tone for our dinner. Camille had the best customer service and was very friendly. She also noticed that I was getting cold due to one of the heaters going out and changed the heater which was nice. From there the service was only up and our server was also very great. The food was delicious as well. I would 100% eat the Pizza Diavola again!”

“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.”

“Since Or Bar opened in the old Gold Coast space, it has become my favorite local place. Good drinks, great people. I love all of the staff here!”

“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.”

“Literally this is the best, go here for a wonderful meal and staff. Great wine and cocktails, really beautiful and delicious food and stunning atmosphere. Casual and unassuming but fun and just nice / cozy. Can’t wait to go back!”

“No doubt this is among the best fried chicken in LA!!”

“Absolutely delicious food. Chulita Bowl was fantastic, hibiscus mimosa and latte were so good. Friendly staff too! Thanks for the wonderful brunch. 🙏🧜🏽‍♀️”

“Ended up here accidentally on a layover: Hands down, the best ramen I’ve ever had (springy, slurpy perfection), amazing cocktails (if you like gin the Japanese 75 is a must try!), and whatever the whipped cream, creme brûlée’d banana dessert was tasted like heaven. I even ordered another tonkotsu ramen to go (all the way to Florida) to bring back to my fiancé. They separated all of it, packaged it so it wouldn’t leak, and wrote directions on specific timing for heating up each item! Very impressive service. I’ll be back again!”
