“This place is divine. It is true authentic French and you feel like you've been transported to Paris when you go. The food is so finely prepared with quality ingredients and each dish is so unique and delicious. It's my new favorite!“
“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.“
“Food and wine selection at AOC is very good. The service is what stood out most. I dined here Monday night and the hostess was very kind. Michael our waiter really made our night. He had great menu and drink recommendations and his positive attitude was so infectious it really made our night. He really set the standard for amazing service. We will be back asap to see him!“
“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.“
“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!“
“Very cozy diner with great atmosphere. Love the food with seasonal ingredients and creative flair, all very delicious. Great for friends gathering and a big menu for a lot of choices with different price point.Will love to come back if i was in town again!“
“This is a small casual spot but with very good and flavorful Filipino food. The service was straightforward and the menu is varied. Not the best spot for vegetarians, as this cuisine is pretty meat heavy, though there is a very nice tofu adobo. From the lumpia to the lechón, it was all fire. I’d absolutely come back to try other menu items.Vegetarian options: Really only a small handful of vegetarian options, mainly tofu based. Even the best rice dish has chicken fat oil.“
“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!!“
“Amazing restaurant with class and vibe. The food and drinks were so good. I would definitely come back here. In addition they have live jazz on Wednesdays and other nights. This is a a great place to come and chill. The chicken liver mousse is a must with some bread.Vegetarian options: Mushrooms were awesomeParking: Park in the back lot is free“
“This place was recommended to us by a local business owner in the district. We were going to go somewhere else but she recommended this as the best. We parked down the street for only $5 and walked a couple blocks. We arrived at 5pm on a Saturday and the wait was only 30 minutes. They had a nice warm tent to wait in and plenty of shopping around, and a bar for a drink while you wait. The service was fast and not chatty (perfect). The beef was excellent and the pork too, although beef was better. My favorite was the ribeye and short ribs. We ordered the large combo for 2 of us and ate it all! The side dishes were a little unusual (and sweet!) but delicious otherwise. Pricey but you get what you pay for. I would go back again! My only complaint was they need stronger vents to suck up the smoke, it kept blowing in my face and i had to move.“
“This is a great little bar. Lots of beers on tap (50+) including many California craft breweries. Pool table inside. Great heated outdoor space. Ping pong, foosball, and boardgames outside.Not a lot of food options (chips, nuts, giant pretzels, etc.) but there was a decent food truck right outside when I was thereParking: Seems like plenty of street parkingWheelchair accessibility: Patio seemed plenty wheel chair friendly. Inside was was a bit tighter but possibly ok.Men's room was super small... Probably not wheel chair accessible. Not sure if there was another option.“
“Tapas spot on Main Street. Came here for a Valentine’s dinner and they had live music out in the heated patio. Service was especially slow (but our waiter was nice), but the bright side is that you can have an especially leisurely meal. Reservations can be made online in advance. We ordered the mushroom croquettes, Catalan chicken, tortilla española, jamon wrapped dates, and mac and cheese with bacon. The dishes were good but the best were the dates and the mad and cheese. The tortilla española came with a salsa and an aioli on the side but the aioli did taste sour (I think one of the ingredients used was past its shelf life). Other than that, it’s a good spot for an intimate dinner or date night.“
“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.“
“Holy Basil is instant comfort that teleports you home. The dishes are flawlessly executed and the flavors are consistently on point. The vibe of this hidden gem reminds you of your family’s kitchen and I feel like a kid again full of excitement from the escaping aromas. I lean heavy into firing the menu family style and always look forward to memorable meals shared. Their take out withstands LA traffic to the far away land of Santa Monica. Service is hands down the friendliest in town.“
“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.“
“What great little discovery! My wife and I were exploring DTLA on a sleepy rainy Sunday and happened upon this great sushi restaurant off of Santa Fe Ave in Downtown LA. The sign from the street read, “Happy Hour 3-6pm daily!”We stopped in to get the Mrs some tasty sushi.Kombu Sushi was a cozy bright fantastic surprise!Great fresh fish, chill atmosphere, and excellent service!We were given seared yellowtail sushi as well as lynchee mochi ice cream.They were so nice.We will definitely be back soon!“
“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.“
“I love sushi and I love Kombu. Such amazing flavors. We got got the Toro and Eel Nigiri and it practically melts in your mouth the minute you bite down. Best California roll i've had in LA so far. Dynamite mussels, the Alaskan roll, Pacific roll, Spider roll, Blue crab roll. It's just all so good.“
“I visited Grand Central Market for the very first time and this was the first eatery I decided to go with, I was not disappointed! I ordered the Garlic Ramen & Avocado Toast, both without spice. Originally, I didn't know the avocado toast had spice too but someone was kind enough to call me back over to let me know since they realized I ordered my ramen non-spicy. Already a great service to start! The food was ready quick too, and as soon as I tasted the ramen, I was impressed! It was very flavorful, & I liked all the vegan ingredients they used, portion size was also fair. And the avocado toast, it was nothing like I've ever had before! The 'toast' was these crispy rice cakes, crispy on outside and creamy rice inside, it's quite hard to describe, but it's definitely something unique as others have said, and you'd just have to try for yourself! Ultimately, Ramen Hood was a pleasantly unique experience for me.“
“Went there for a quick lunch. Ordered $22 bento box. Decent quantity with quality food. ? friendly and professional service. The environment was good too- not a lot of people. Not the cheapest quick lunch in this neighborhood but worth the money as the food was diverse and delicious. Would come back again! ☺️“
“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.“
“I was invited to Juliana for my Instagram food blog (@catrinoms) and had a fantastic experience! This restaurant is so beautiful and every dish is so creative and gorgeous. My favorite was the blueberry steak — such a surprising combination and so delicious! Definitely recommend this spot for date night or hanging out with friends. The vibes are on point!“
“I've been really into wine bars lately and decided to check out Mignon. The bar is so dark that I had to whip out my phone and used the flashlight to read the menu lol. Staff is super friendly and provided great recs! +Mixed and match of cheese and charcuterie 5/5: Our server recommended some soft cheeses and less salty meats, and everything tasted delicious! + NY steak 5/5: Wow, I didn't have much expectations of an $18 steak but it's one of the most well-seasoned steak I've ever had. It's so soft and juicy as well. I was so impressed. Apparently there's only a limited amount of steak! + Uni spaghetti 3/5: Unfortunately, the uni was kinda fishy otherwise it would've been tasty. Overall, I had a great time at Mignon and would come back again for HH!“
“Terrific restaurant to get Japanese street food. The staff is very friendly and provides great service. The food is made to order fresh. The grilled vegetables are all very good. The forbidden rice bowl had an amazing array of flavors throughout.“
“A very happy discovery. After being a bit surprised at the minimum cost at another nearby restaurant, I kept walking. I was drawn to the gas flames of outdoor dining. I found Bacari GDL and was very pleased. The food was excellent. My Bacarita was spicy but refreshing with watermelon to counter the bite. My ceviche was the best I have had. My pork chop with caramelized onions was perfect after a long day. Hannah was a delight in her care of my dining experience. I hope to return to Glendale again to enjoy this gem.“

“We visited this establishment for the first time on Superbowl Sunday. I have never seen a manager go so above and beyond for his guests than I witnessed at the Den. It was crowded, but he went out of his way to find seating for us and took great care of us. He was very visible during the very crowded time and could be seen helping his staff. When we are back in the Hollywood area, we will revisit here just for the customer service alone, although the food and drinks were 5 star as well.“
“All the staff were soooo friendly and attentive. I enjoyed every minute of our time. We got the bruschetta, croquettes, truffle fries, and smash burger. Everything tasted sooooo good. Honestly top burger of my life next to Gordon ramsey burger! I have never had a burger that didn't need Ketchup but this time it was so perfect the flavors of the burger were soo much better than adding Ketchup. Highlt recommended. It's also so nice to go during happy hour to try more things off the menu for cheaper.“
“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.“
“A great snack restaurant! If you come before 8 o'clock, it's happy hour, so you can enjoy more value for money than other K-Town bars :)However, if you go when there are too many people and it is noisy, your voice may be heard :) Good luck with your guessing game :)“
“Great spot! I came here 10 years ago, and was delighted to find out it is still open. Same charm: dark wood, sweeping curtains, smokey cocktails, red leather couches, jazz music. We had the chicken bites, a glass of cab sauv, and one of the lychee cocktails. Everything was good but the lychee wasn't overwhelmingly good- I will probably switch to a whiskey based drink next time. The chicken was a perfect small bite to pair with drinks. Everyone there seemed to be a pair: first dates, deep conversations, etc. There are tables in the main room, couches in the fireplace room, and a long bar.“
“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.“
“Service was great, and the restaurant is a fun vibe. Go with a big group so you can try a variety of dishes. We tried the cauliflower, beets, hummus, panzanella salad, oyster mushrooms, branzino, potatoes, and some friends had the rib eye. For dessert we tried the baklava pie and the olive oil ice cream. The panzanella was my favorite dish, but overall everything was solid. It's in a small strip mall and has a few parking spots which is an added bonus.“
“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!“
“Our dinner was delicious...everything really! Mariscos de la Casa was my main dish and the broth was amazing with the grilled bread! The service was slow but very friendly. (The menu states that it is appreciated that a table only be held for 2 hours. That was impossible because it took three hours to get all drinks and ordered food and the check.) But our friends also loved the food. A great neighborhood choice for dinner. We shall return.“
“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.“
“The wait to get in was pretty long, but totally worth it considering how popular it is. First time trying Korean food and it blew me away. Super affordable and with veggie choices. The kimchi pancake was the highlight. The vibe and decor were spot on – cozy and cool. Would go back in a heartbeat!Vegetarian options: Most of the menu isn’t vegetarian friendly, but there are still a few vegetarian options that are super delicious. The waitress was helpful in helping us to select some vegetarian dishes“
“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“
“Was in downtown Los Angeles with family and decided to check out it out as it was nearby.To be to the point it is a 5 out of 5. However there are certain things to be aware of. This is a place where you go to for flavor. Each dish was delicious but the price isn't cheap.Pricing 1/1You can expect to pay from 17 to 30 per dish.Portion 1/1They are a bit on the smaller side but surprisingly filling. Great for foodies but not so much for people that love quantity.Flavor 1/1Delicious, each ingredient was full in flavor and clearly defined. The sukiyaki was rich in both sweetness and beefiness. Shrimp tempura was an even amount of breading and shrimp. Udon noodles blended perfectly with all the other flavors.Service 1/1They are friendly and not overwhelming. Quick to explain the focus of their dishes and provide a bit of humor.Presentation 1/1You can clearly tell what each ingredient is and that it is presented to show highlights.Overall I would go again but will consider the pricing and aim for going with only select people.Parking: It is parking you pay for but can get validated.“
“You just cross your fingers after getting out after 10pm from a concert and hope that you find a decent place to grab a late night light bite. Glance in the JW Marriott is a safe, convenient bar with light food service at late hours. The place was packed on a Sunday from conventioneers which was good to see.Grabbed a table, perused the menu and ordered, water, beers, food brought out quickly at this clean, bright, airy, hotel atrium bar and lounge area.Had hot out of the fryer wings, garlic Parmesan fries and two beers - a coffee stout and a lighter ale. Pricey but what do you expect at a high end hotel with late night food options. Excellent service.“
“Definitely a good spot to hang out and have drinks with friends. The servers were really nice. The only problem for me was the popcorn shrimps were pretty disappointing, there were more flour then the actual shrimps. I love shrimps so I was pretty disappointed about it. Overall of that, everything else was amazing. I would definitely go back.“
“While I was staying at the hotel, this became my go-to place to sit and get something to eat when I didn't feel like going out. The indoor/outdoor flow is perfect on a nice night if it's cool enough to sit by the fire. The drinks are incredible variations on classic cocktails, but the bartenders are knowledgeable and can make you anything with their stocked bar. My only complaint I had is that the bar has inconsistent hours. Some of the evenings they were closed by 11:00 and some it was open until well after midnight or 1:00. I was told this is guided by how busy they are on any given night. Keep this in-mind before you plan an evening around a nightcap.“
“First time here and it did not disappoint! Staff was so cool and friendly, front door man was a sweetheart. DJ playing great music and everyone on the dance floor were beyond fun to dance around. I've never felt so welcomed in a dance environment like that.“
“My husband and I absolutely LOVE this restaurant! It's clean and unpretentious, with a pleasant ambiance and one-of-a-kind restroom for the ladies. Pretty much every item on their vast menu is tasty, and the prices are reasonable. To make it even better, the service is top notch. Everyone is friendly, attentive and professional. Special shoutout to Randy, Linda and Oscar - they're our fave servers and amongst the best in LA! Management, please give them a raise or promotion ?“

“Came here recently for dinner Tuesday night—restaurant is small with lots of people, but luckily they had two open spots at the bar area.Got the Hakata Ramen—was so good! Paid extra to add a bunch of toppings (soft flavored egg, corn, shrimp wonton & pork belly chashu). Also got the Pork Cutlet on the side. The noodles and toppings soaked up a good amount of the broth so I had to order more broth for $4.50. The basic Hakata Ramen is $12.50 but once you start adding more toppings, it can get pretty pricey—mine came out to be over $30! Geez.For dessert, the Green Tea Ice Cream was good.“

“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.“
“For starters are server Tony was FANTASTIC! He was personable, funny, and was quick with every request we had. The patio heaters were turned on which made the cool evening comfortable. The food was good only complaint was my steak I ordered medium rare and it was almost well done. Luckily it still melted in my mouth and tasted good. The only thing that wasn't good was the baked Alaska, for $26 it was disappointing.“
