Tapas Restaurants near West Hollywood, CA

“Outstanding service from the time we stepped in the door. Tess our server was very knowledgeable and we loved her wine pairing suggestions.
The food is also outstanding! All three of in our party lived our dishes, especially all the varieties of tin fish. I had the best Dover Sole ever! Highly recommend!“

“I love this place! The food is fantastic! And I’m a regular for a reason 😉“

“Absolutely fantastic for date night or literally any other dining event you might have!!!! Food was incredible especially the glazed pork belly and the brussel sprouts. AND dessert is an absolute must, everyone needs to try the bread pudding! Good price point for the quality of food and the cutest Mediterranean inspired design.“

“Bacari Glendale: It is a beautiful place we have always wanted to go to. We took two friends for a belated birthday dinner (and as the staff realized it was just that, they even rewarded us with a delicious birthday dessert :-). Great service, nice ambiance, and delicious food - we had the bread (could have been a bit more for the $4,50), then shared the Mac & Cheese topped up with the pear and brie pizza that was the best.“

“So good!!! Amazing. Love the food. The bok choy pot stickers OOOF! The best. 💜💜💜👑👑👑🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🕺🏽🕺🏽🕺🏽🕺🏽💞💞💞💝💝👨‍❤️‍👨🧡“

“First, my wife loved it. I thought it was ok. The kitchen was stretched. The waitress really didn't explain the menu. This was Americanized tapas. Too much food, no space between tables making it too crammed and no privacy. This was Valentines after all. And there's the nut, what is it like on a normal night? I haven't decided whether to find out.“

“This is a very popular place as it gets crowded even before normal dinner time. The semi-indoor/outdoor seating area is clean and relaxing.“

“The food is phenomenal!! Everything is amazing“

“This restaurant is by far the best I’ve ever been too. You walk in, you immediately greeted with the most amazing staff, they make you feel like family its so warm and inviting. The food was absolutely amazing! When food makes you feel something and gives you goosebumps it takes the experience to an entire new level. This is the only restaurant I will ever recommend. It’s was the most amazing experience with the most incredible food!“

“Great drinks, delicious food, the most ADDICTIVE CHIPS and guacamole- I promise you won't be able to stop at one order so walk your 25k steps before you make reservations! Our server was so pleasant and engaging and the entire staff that day 3/21 @6pm was awesome includingthe valet as we left! I forgot to get names, hence why I gave the date we were here:) I had the best quesadilla and my husband ordered a chicken and a carne Asada taco...DELICIOUS!“

“Awesome fun place with music good food, and fun. ❤️“

“We had such a wonderful time. Amazing wine & terrific food!“

“Always a good interaction when coming to Z Falafel. The cooks are such nice guys and always so helpful when I may ask about one of their many options on the menu. I always try to switch up my plate when I come here and not once have I had a disappointing meal from this location. Keep going hard!“

“Great food and service. This place never disappoints.“

“Good service and experience for Korean BBQ.specially the rice paper loved by many diner.“

“Great food as usual and every time we come we have an excellent service. Love coming here!!!!“

“Amazing happy hour menu! Our favorites were the chicken heart skewer, shishito with bacon skewer, and squid ink karaage. Really liked the “For Goodness Sake” cocktail too, very balanced and not too sweet. We’ll definitely be back to try more items!“

“We went on a Wednesday night and every table was full, which should tell you something. Very good service from the host. We did the 4-course pre fixe menu. First course was an outstanding beet salad - one of my faves ever - and a rice noodle dish that was just slightly under-seasoned. Second course was possibly the star, the street corn. The steak was also an absolute star, done perfectly at medium rare. The vodka lumache was, like the rice pasta dish, a bit under-seasoned. Oreo beignets were great, and the chocolate budino was very good, very rich. We'll definitely be back.“

“We’ve come here a few times and always enjoy ourselves. A lot of specialty IPAs and pretty decent prices on some of them. I had the black and blue heart cider and it was scrumptious. Nice and tart. It’s still a little sweet and a little effervescence. Love me a 7% ABV with a seltzer! Very cozy fun vibes. Comfortable bar seating as well as comfortable booth seating. Nice little outdoor patio and then an area to play games at your hearts content! Pool table inside ping-pong, table, and foosball table outside. Darts board games you name it very cozy couch and tables out on the patio as well. Partially covered. Alistair was very attentive to my friend, but didn’t seem to feel compelled to take care of me lol. A lot of fun eye candy on the walls. Vintage goodies. Will definitely be back.“

“We loved the authentic noodles and warm hospitality. Our lovely server also recommended me to drink the Tenth degree ginjo instead of regular sake, which I liked a lot.“

“Great setting and great Sushi two thumbs up 👍🏽“

“We enjoyed everything about our meal from start to finish.“

“We had a fantastic birthday dinner here. Kind of pricey, but that's expected with elevated Indian food. We ordered the bacon & date Kulcha as well as the spinach & Mozzarella to start. Bacon and date was by far the better or the two. Then we shared the scallops (a hit!) and sweet potato Chaat (delish). Out of our 3 mains we enjoyed the chicken Korma best then the short ribs and aloo Gobi were tied. Interestingly they used broccoli instead of cauliflower for the Gobi and the potatoes had amazing flavor. Our only complaint was the noise level got to be extremely loud and it wasn't even a full house. Be prepared. We would definitely go again though.“

“After gym and resting in a bit, we headed over to Mignon on 6th Street for dinner. As it was Happy Hour from 4pm to 7pm, we had the red and white house wine each at $5. For $5, the price and quality is really quite good. We also had the ham and brie ($11) and prosciutto and butter ($11) sandwich. Tom enjoyed the prosciutto sandwich which had the fatty bits while Kate enjoyed the brie. We enjoyed the way our sandwiches were prepared – gourmet, with pickles on the side and sweet mustard. Love the vibes where the staff gave us space, despite being seated “at the bar”...

“This place is the coolest, yummiest hidden gem 💎 in ktown!! My waiter was fast and attentive. My favorites were the Rigatoni, honey butter chips, tuna dip was fire and the soju selection blew my mind because I’ve only ever had the flavored green bottle.

The fried chicken was very tasty too! Next time I need to try the beer and other menu items. I found metered parking nearby but there is valet service in the back!“

“Everything that I oder was tested good. And nice servers.“

“心の居酒屋です🏮 モツなべなど　博多メニュー充実“

“This business may be hiding comments! I give this business no stars. But in order for people to see this comment I added 5 stars.

Please toggle the comments to the lowest rating reviews when reading the recent reviews. Do not focus on the 5 star reviews.

Something I did not do. They were closed for 90 days for a roach infestation apparently not to long ago and customers have said there’s rats. That a RAT ran across their table while eating and the owners did nothing. Hanta Virus spreads from mice/rats. How is this place still operating in Los Angeles??

Pre-covid many about 10 years ago, it was good! The energy in the place now - is dense. The food was bad. Do not come here. If I would have known about rats and roaches oh boy I would have never ever came here again!“

“Great setting and great Sushi two thumbs up 👍🏽“

“cause they doooopppe ya heard ?“

“Came in after passing by many times and I am so glad I did. The food was simply phenomenal, the service was so good - attentive, friendly, knowledgeable about the extensive menu and specials. Even the ambiance was such a fun balance of coastal Italian, California kitsch and nostalgia. Highly recommend and can't wait to come back.“

“This restaurant is seriously slept on. There should be a line out the door (not that I wanna wait to eat all the delicious food). They're serving up elevated comfort food with a carefully curated sake list. We often imbibe a bit too much of said carefully curated sake list, so I don't have photos for every item we've had. We love both the sushi and izakaya items

Yellowtail carpaccio: fresh melt-in-your-mouth fish, lightly dressed with olive oil so that the true flavors shine through. There are salt and spice on the side of you want a little more zing (though the jalapenos provide enough zing for most palates).

Ankimo sashimi: so smooth and silky, perfectly dressed to highlight the flavors without overpowering it.

Summer roll: balanced combination of delicate blue crab, piquant spicy tuna and creamy avocado wrapped in radish (perfect for those trying to stay away from carbs).

Kurobata corn dogs: arrived at our table, still piping hot. Just perfectly fried. Batter light and crispy and the meat juicy and succulent.

Lobster hush puppies: their timing on their fried items is amazing. These, too, arrived at our table fresh out of the fryer. The batter is well-seasoned, light (but not too airy and unsubstantial) with enough density and chew to create the best texture, and the sweetness of corn and langoustine sprinkled throughout.

Grilled black cod: buttery fish with a hint of miso, served with mushrooms on top.

Miso eggplant: I don't know what magical incantations and techniques are used on this dish, but people who actively don't like eggplant love this dish. It's caramelized deliciousness. Straight-up witchcraft I tell you.

Pork gyoza: juicy pork encased in thin wrappers, left long enough on the pan to create a crispy layer on the bottom (Maillard reaction, boys and girls), with thinly sliced scallions on top for freshness and zest.

Bacon mochi: blistered (but, magically, not burnt) and bubbly mochi wrapped in crispy, salty, fatty bacon. You bite into the mochi and it has the most ridiculous stretch, like mozzarella! The mochi provides the perfect blank canvas for the bacon.

Fish tacos: light, crispy batter on the flaky fish with fresh veggies on top. I daresay I felt healthy eating these tacos.

Sauteed scallops with ponzu: scallops cooked (not overcooked, not undercooked) to a perfect texture that retains the natural sweetness of scallops, which contrasts beautifully with the savory-tangy-umami elixir created by ponzu and butter. The sauce is so delicious that we always order a side of rice to get every last drop.“

“Great food and wines! Excellent atmosphere. Very busy yet excellent service. We sat at the bar and ordered various tapas. The food came out very nicely paced. We did not feel rushed, and despite how busy it was, we did not wait long for the dishes to come out. Our favorite was the jamón board, followed by the steak. Can’t wait to be back and try the rest of the menu!“

“Nice service with a lovely intimate atmosphere. This place has so much potential to be amazing. It’s not traditional Greek food and the flavor disappointed a bit for some dishes however, the lamb and wagyu skewer were INSANELY good but insultingly small.“

“Best Thai food in LA! 🔥🔥🔥“

“Menu looked great. Walked in and was skeptical. The brisket eggrolls were the best appetizer anyone in our group has ever had. Mezcal drink was excellent. Poke nachos - top….nach :) And the bartender ran the entire bar & restaurant solo. Impressive stuff!“

“The drinks are good and friendly people. Great vibes!“

“this place has great drinks, good food and an awesome vibe! I just love how it's hidden too. So clean and the staff is so nice. I will definitely be back!“

“Fantastic meal! As good or better than the old days.“

“muy buen servicio, y buen ambiente.“

“Let's TACO bout this hidden gem taco spot with tacos so good TU MADRE would love them too!

As someone who's tried a wide spectrum of taco spots from street stands to Michelin, I was pleasantly surprised (and honestly a little salty it took me this long) to discover @tacostumadre right in my own neighborhood. This festive, casual spot specializes in modern Mexican fusion, with innovative culinary takes on Mexican cuisine starting from their iconic fried chicken taco. With over a dozen different protein and plant-based options that you can order as a taco, burrito or bowl, there's definitely something for everyone on their menu.

I stopped by the Westwood location, but there's also locations in Brentwood, Santa Monica, Weho, Larchmont and Los Feliz. It was really easy to find street parking around that area on the weekend at lunchtime, but they also have a $5 valet lot next to the restaurant. Service was SO nice, and I really appreciated how they took the time to quickly yet meticulously prepare every dish + gave me free chips and salsa with my order.

“Thank you to our server Maria for being absolutely marvellous. She was not only the best server ever, but gave us amazing tips on where to go and what to do while in LA. Thanks to Maria, we visited great art galleries and had beautiful meals. Can’t thank her enough!“

“No vegan food options. Very few food options in general. They don’t have a hostess so we had to just catch a waitress walking by us. The seating is really only designed for drinks, not for actual plates. I had a Caesar salad minus sardines and the dressing had too much horseradish. The view is 10/10“

“대박 맛있음~ 써비스도 최고!! I recommend this little hole in the wall place~ 쨘!! 대박나세요~“

“While the ramen is quite good, try their other non-ramen offerings. Katsu curry rice is very good here (katsu pork was prepared perfectly and curry flavorful) as well as their gyudon (beef over rice). Service as fast, friendly and attentive and the dining area was very clean. Value for the meal is excellent especially for West LA! Cannot recommend enough!“

“the Ramen was good and the broth was very tasty! kudos to our waiter who had a lot of patience with us with ordering because it was our first time there.“

“spacy garlic edamame is vary delicious.!!“

“I had a great experience at Anju House in Koreatown. I ordered the jjampong soup and it was amazing — super fresh and full of flavor. I also tried the seafood fried rice, which is one of my favorites, and it did not disappoint. The asado was perfectly cooked, very soft, and really flavorful. I also want to give a special thank you to the food runner for the excellent service. Overall, great food and great experience.“

“Atención cordial super amable. Deliciosa comida insuperable y en plato grande, los precios súper económicos. Para combatir el calor pida una refrescante kola champán heladita. Pantalla inmensa de televisión. En el interior del local pueder ver maceteros de plantas muy bien conservadas. Para la vista al exterior calle Hill hay una ventana grande y la puerta principal. Te encantará.“

“The salmon is probably the best in LA, I have been to many sushi restaurants but I keep coming back here because no where else has this good salmon, even high end hand rolls ones. The chicken skewers are amazing as well. And lastly, my favorite dish, eel, is 1000/10. I will eat at this place for the rest of my life.“
