Came here on a birthdsy friendly date night recommend by my foodie girlfriend. First thing you'll notice is the ambiance, I loved it. Our service was excellent. Now, as a fine dinning chef myself we can get into the food.
The dumplings in curry sauce, very nice! Baked Oysters, perfectly cooked, flavor profile, meh. Tuna Tostada, too small and under seasoned. Roast Pork, is so close to perfect. Cocnut rice was lovely as well. Drinks are creative and fun. Desserts were decent. The bad? Portion sizes are a joke. And it's likely you'll have to eat again, after already having eaten here.
My thoughts? Overall, a fun experience, especially as our server was awesome and honestly made some good suggestions. The food is fun, well executed and very creative. The decore and over all ambiance is dope. My compliments to the chef for having balls enough to push elevated cuisine in new directions. 🤌
We went to this restaurant for a birthday dinner with a group of 11. I think the service and policies are pretentious and borderline rude. You must order everything at once, they won’t explain the menu until everyone is at the table, etc. and our waitress had attitude! But then the drinks and wine came out slowly and very inconsistently (and btw it was a 5pm reservation so they were not busy). We also agreed to a minimum spend bc we were a large group and then they didn’t let us know that we had not met the minimum (if we had known we might have ordered more etc). The food was good, interesting and actually not that expensive for high end LA but not amazing. No one at our table will be going back and that is a loss for this restaurant as this was 6 couples and we all dine out frequently. Go to one of the other amazing restaurants in LA that have fabulous service and food (for example, RVR which I literally went to the following week and it was night and day difference in experience).

First time at Si! Mon tonight and really enjoyed the flavorful food and the STANDOUT was dessert! I hope they keep the Sticky Toffee Pudding on the menu - the plantain banana cake with rich caramel sauce and airy buttermilk ice cream was a pitch perfect way to finish the meal.
For 2-tops, I hope they'd add some way for diners to keep purses/bags off the floor when hanging it behind the chair is not possible or desirable. :)

This might be my best dining experience ever not only the food was tasty but so special and different from what I’ve eaten.

We decided to have our anniversary dinner here and no regrets. Each dish was delicious and the service was impressive. The staff was so attentive and friendly, we can't wait to come back again. Highly recommend the Kanpachi ceviche m and Kanpachi in banana leaves, so delicious and worth coming back for.

Amazing food! I haven’t had a good meal like that in a while! I recently checked out some of the well rated restaurants in LA, such as RVR and I have to say this is hands down superior. The food, the vibe, and the server was also very attentive and friendly. The portions are very small and I felt like for the price, they could be a little larger.
Highly recommend and will go again!

This was a great experience and meal - the cocktails were creative and well prepared. We got the surf clam ceviche, the smoked fish dip, the shrimp dumplings, the patacones, the fried chicken and the kanpachi and it was all fantastic. I think my favorite out of the bunch was the smoked fish dip - that was a truly unique dish with very unique flavors, and its fun to put them all together. Pleasantly surprised that this was under $200 for two as well.
Superb. Get the pupusa.
