“The BEST dining experience!! Our table had a gluten & garlic allergy and the staff and chef were so accommodating!! It did not feel like an impediment, they offered us so many options!! All the food was delicious and the service was even better!! We love this restaurant and can't recommend it enough!! 20/10!!“

“AOC is a culinary haven, boasting a James Beard award-winning chef whose talent shines through every dish. The Spanish Fried Chicken is nothing short of spectacular – the best I've ever had. The overall dining experience at AOC is a testament to exceptional food and skillful craftsmanship. A must-visit for any food enthusiast!“

“Great food and cocktails! It's a pretty casual place hidden in West Adams. Just a short 10 min walk for me to get there. We enjoyed all the dishes except a 30+ min wait before the lamb chop came out which was really strange, but totally delicious. The date cake was yummy & they comped another dessert for the wait. The patio seating is in decomposed granite so my black flats are now brown but it was easy enough to brush off.“

“This was our first time at Saltie Girl. We will definitely be dinning at Saltie Girl again.The oysters were outstanding and not a bad price at $4.50 each. They had great flavor.LA Pink salad was very good with an excellent crushed maple walnut dressing dressing.The Moules Frites, probably the best I ever had, even better than in Belgium! Ipswich Claim had a wonderful coating and excellent flavor. The Fried Brussels Sprouts outstanding flavor. The French Dover Sole with the lemon, capers, butter and parsley, amazing flavor. Lump Crab Toast bold and delicious flavor.The one dish I would pass on next time is the Tins. We had one tin with Sardine In Olive Oil With Lemon and one with Hake In Green Sauce. They just lacked flavor.Service was top notch.“

“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.“

“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!“

“We loved this place and can't wait to return! In fact I held a breakfast meeting there the next to day so I could try their breakfast. The decor, service and food are exemplary! Oh....the espresso drinks....perfect! The only thing that might make it better is one of those pastries they have by the front. Maybe next time! This neighborhood is lucky to have place like this ?“

“LA MUST GO! Everything we ordered from the scallops to the jamon and the mushrooms were delicious. And the spicy calabrese pizza was SOO good. The presentation of the food was also a treat. The service was great, the ambiance was cozy and quaint, and the owner was as generous and kind as could be. We had an exceptional experience and will be returning soon.“

“It’s a unique take on ramen, good depth of flavor, great noodles, but for me the truffle dominates and the richness of the soup is too buttery. Like it for something new, but I prefer a more traditional take. I like truffle and I have had a dozen bowls in Tokyo. I was expecting the price, but at the end of the night it felt too steep.“

“I ate here a few months ago with a small group. We didn't have a reservation but they were able to seat us because a party with a reservation didn't show up. The place is clean and has a nice ambience. The server was nice and attentive. We ordered garlic edamame, garlic string beans, fried calamari, katsu curry, gyoza, grilled squid, karaage, chicken wings, kurobuta sausage, grilled pork belly, and menchi katsu. WOW! We loved it all. We wanted to try the Shabu Shabu but they were all out. We came with an appetite and left completely satisfied. We can't wait to come back for more. I definitely recommend making a reservation.“

“Great little bar and restaurant perfect for a cute date night or even night out with friends. Parking was tough but that's LA. Value was good food was too but the service and overall atmosphere were amazing and made this place stellar. Would for sure recommend“

“I love the concept of this restaurant and the service was spot on great! We sampled several dishes from the menu and I can highly recommend the yummy ribs, the swiss chard, and the asparagus was super (done with a tangerine sauce that was amazing)! The deviled egg was delightful as well as the tomato puree on toasts, a nice palette cleanser...And the goat milk flan was a desert winner!! I will say a few dishes just weren't up to par - the skewered calamari was underwhelming, not well spiced and rather bland, and the garling shrimp was overwhelming with too much garlic (and we were all garlic lovers). I was glad we asked for a quiet table, tucked up in the corner of the upstairs area (we had a double birthday dinner), because the noise level in general was very high. I recommend seating up on the balcony if possible. All in all, however, it was a great experience and we'll certainly go back and sample some more dishes from this neighborhood gem.“

“This restaurant has incredible food, a delightful atmosphere and the staff was amazing. I was part of a large group that swarmed the place at an unusual hour and the staff was amazing at handling the sudden influx and was really accommodating for a member of our group that has severe allergies. Most importantly of all the food was top notch. Highly recommend.“

“First time at La Paella.Loved the atmosphere. The owners are so gracious and caring. Sheep’s milk cheese, with quince was outstanding as were the olives stuffed with anchovy and the eggplant. We ordered paella marinara. So so delicious. A nice bottle of Spanish wine. It reminded us so much of sitting in Spain, enjoying conversation and wine, and not being rushed to pay the bill and vacate. Can’t wait to go back.“

“Absolutely delicious and authentic Thai food! The Tom Kha was spectacular, the green curry and Pad Thai very good, the Thai tea excellent and the mango sticky rice divine. The best I’ve had so far in LA. Staff seemed a bit grumpy, but still nice. Lovely decoration too.“

“I came here with a couple friends and wow I mean, I've had my fair share of Mediterranean before, but this place takes it to a whole new level! The vibe is super cool, perfect for a night out with friends or a low-key date. And the food? AMAZING!Every single dish we tried was perfect.The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable too, so you can trust them to guide you through the menu.All in all, Tapas Bar is a total gem and I can't wait to go back!“

“Delicious food! We loved everything we ordered. From the chicken and beef shawarma, falafel, salad, rice, and hummus! Their French fries and sauces are amazing!! This restaurant is a MUST try. I cannot wait to order again. We loved LA Shawarma!!!!!!“

“Love this bar. The drinks are top notch, real mixology and the atmosphere is amazing. Fireplace, pianist, old school couches, super attentive waitstaff. It's like from another century.Just one thing: why is it so cold? Maybe shut the door? Idk, it just seems like the AC is on full blast all the time.“

“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.“

“Awesome vibes. Overall service was great but could be a bit more attentive, we waited a while later on in the meal. Regardless, the place is awesome, everyone was polite and the live entertainment was excellent as well. Definitely adding this place to my rotation of places to go in the valley!“

“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!“

“Came here on a Friday night for a girls dinner with some friends. Food was excellent!! Loved everything we got. Drinks were also very good - I recommend the espresso martini but the wine I ordered was also fantastic. Service was not slow but definitely drawn out so I’d plan on taking your time which we were happy to do! Our server was wonderful. Overall great experience and would come back again.“

“Okay this is going to be a long review1-beautiful atmosphere, well done ✅2-wonderful friendly staff, well done ✅3-as a very first time customer i did my research and read many reviews before fully committing to trying out this restaurant3B- I agree with everyone who shared their opinion of “leaving here hungry”3C- the food is absolutely delicious BUT the price ratio and plate proportions are off4- have you ever heard of Grandville4B- this restaurant could be Grandville’s twin, you are so close and yet just not there5- the advertised drink menu is so short and limited but in truth the bar can make many more traditional cocktails you just have to ask- the menu should show more of these options6- overall I believe this restaurant will survive but as a business can improve and dig deeper into fully servicing a bigger presentation of the community successful vs becoming a limited community customer pleaser7- i am going to put 5 stars but i am wishing i could give 4.5 stars- really wish google offered half star options“

“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.“

“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!“
