“Delicious dining at it's best. Cornbread out of this world and best clams I've ever had!”
“Absolutely loved this place. We ate at the bar and the bartender was amazing. He was friendly, helpful and made sure we ordered exactly the right amount of food. His cocktails were perfect, like a wizard dishing out magic (I had a second cocktail which I rarely do ☺️). The food was equally good. The home made tofu melted in your mouth. The tuna, uni appetizer was delicate with a dash of wasabi. The heirloom tomato salad was fresh, succulent, and delicious. ? The jidori chicken was so flavorful. Overall it was a perfect meal. Thank you”
“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.”
“Amazing food!!! Service was great. Gotta have the Pork shank and Pop Corn situation!!!”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“Farmhouse kitchen is the best Thai restaurant I’ve ever had. On top of the food being great and delicious, the presentation makes you want to order everything from the menu. Chef Bo was so nice to come out to our table and all I can say is she was a very nice, young & talented person. She even made me a special dessert for my birthday. Thanks Bo❤️ I highly recommend this place if you want an authentic, excellent and delicious food. In addition, the place is so full of life. The decor is amazing! I can’t wait to go back and try some of the fancy drinks and dishes on the menu.”
“My favorite restaurant in Los Angeles for more than 20 years. Incredible food, wine, ambiance, service and more. Especially due to the brilliant and wonderful family that brought us this gem 28 years ago, this restaurant always feels like home.”
“Great food , nice people. I enjoyed the pasta and desserts. My biggest issue aside from price is that they tried to give us a 4% surcharge, which I'm pretty sure is illegal. Claiming "it's for benefits". They removed it from my check. But please be wary. Otherwise great place”

“Found this place from a friend and it was amazing. Super cute and cozy inside. Service was amazing and the food was sooo good. Very underrated place. Has a parking lot which is also a plus.”
“I loved the moment we had in this restaurant, food is excellent, service also. It is beautiful, cosy and I just did not have the impression to be in L.A.
Depending on the events hosted : you may not recognise the place during your second visit…?”
“Teleferic is a favorite and has never disappointed. Most recently, our crispy paella had octopus, huge shrimp, and the most generous portion of lobster. The dish was absolutely wonderful, as was our appetizer of artichokes with pistachio foam. Service was as superb as the meal, and the lovely room was exceedingly tranquil at lunchtime- relaxing and conducive to conversation. Our Teleferic lunch was perfect in every way.”
“Simply the best birria and pollo tacos around. I recommend the plate with birria or the burrito with chicken, my favorite choices. Must have the churros with dulce de leche sauce, so good.”
“This was our first time Leslie was the absolute sweetest definitely gave a good experience! :) my son really enjoyed to food and such a low price for fresh food 10/10 recommend and give Leslie a raise! It’s hard to find good employees these days!!”
“Possibly the best and freshest Mexican style seafood in LA Think fine from a James Beard award winning chef and kitchen on the very casual setting of a food court It’s busy so get in early as the line to order grows quickly Plenty of parking with extra space at rear of the car park for the overflow This is a must try if you are in the area”
“We dined at Damian for the second time. Our minds and tastebuds were blown again! Everything was high level, food drink, service, desert, even down to the tiny cookie that came with our espresso. And, the duck carnitas, chefs kiss!”

“Amazing takeout family meal which features the most flavorful and delicious Char Siu Wagyu Short Rib with fluffy bao. All side dishes are well executed and delectable. One of the best staying at home meals I’ve had! Highly recommend it!”

“We had a fabulous night. Food was amazing and service is top notch!”
“My friend and I had an exquisite dining experience at Bar Sawa. Each course was prepared and presented to perfection. The place was a little tricky to find; there were no signs, and it was in the basement of a very unexpected building. You can also only get down there through the middle elevator! The instructions to get to the restaurant were emailed, but I didn't get to read it in time, so it was my fault. ? We thoroughly enjoyed our meal, ambiance and the entire experience. Highly recommend!”
“Food was really delicious and fresh. I ordered the potato and cheese taquitos, sweet potato taco and Baja fish taco. The cucumber radish slaw and habanero onions really elevated the fish taco. To drink I had the passion fruit margarita. Tuesday during happy hour offered great deals. Josh, was very friendly and helpful as a server.”
“Why go 3000 miles away it’s just as good as Pat steaks and they got a roast pork sandwich too”

“Really great quality food. From the tasty mushrooms in a perfect consistency sauce to the tender bistek. This place is a fun Filipino hot spot on Sawtelle! The Brussel sprouts, lumpia, pancit and adobo will fill you up! Portions are family style. Highly recommend!”
“Great service, tasty food, and amazing views. Good brunch spot.”
“Really nice space inside of the museum courtyard. Food is a California classic executed precisely. Still some dishes that are not outrageously priced, including wine. 18% gratuity is included”

“LA COMIDA NO SE DIGA TA RICA...PERO LA QUE COBRA SU CUSTOMER SERVICE VALE PURA M”
“We have been going to Horses ever since they opened since it’s right in our neighborhood. The most friendly staff with a big shout out to Amanda. The most amazing craft cocktails and absolutely delicious food. I think we’ve almost tried everything on the menu and have not been disappointed once. Can be hard to get a reservation, but we usually get there at 5:15 and are able to sit at the bar with no problem.”

“Wow. This place is a hidden gem, but easy to find with plenty of parking. They had a great atmosphere with welcoming vibes. Very clean inside and out, restrooms were spotless. Great place to take the family or just to grab a bite with some friends. Decorated nicely with taste. Service was fantastic. Staff was friendly and helpful. Their food was absolutely delicious and fresh. Words cannot describe their uniquely creative flavors so do yourself a favor and find out for yourselves, you will not be disappointed. From their tacos and sides to their full rotisserie chicken options, it's ALL delicious. I will definitely be going back, I'm hooked. Bravo to the founders/owners. See you all again soon.”
“Amazing food!!! Service was great. Gotta have the Pork shank and Pop Corn situation!!!”
“Great vegan food and friendly owners. Please visit . You will love the food..”
“No kidding, these tacos and tostadas are TOP NOTCH. I love the poseidon tostada w hot sauce n ketchup n lime and shrimp tacos are divine. Thank you for existing!!”
“Spicy Tan Tan Tsukemen + Classic Tokyo Tonkotsu Ramen + Maitake Tempura & Egg Salad Bun + Shishito + Edamame + Tokyo Banana + Mango Kaki Gori @tonchinlosangeles”
“Happily found Oriel by chance! Had planned to go elsewhere, however that place was packed & we needed to be in a calmer space., So we walked and found Oriel! So glad we did! Had some bubbly and snacks before heading to KCRW Summer Nights in Chinatown. Besides music by DJs and dancing, we thought we would grab another bite however nothing sparked interest so we returned to Oriel! Ate and drank &.were so satisfied with everything! Plus the staff are wonderful!
Pleasant, informative and caring! Reminds me I need to return soon! An oasis.”
“Exceeds expectations! Atmosphere is a bit loud, but it feels happy and like you’re at a big party. Excellent service, friendly staff and absolutely delicious food. My 10 grandson begged us to go when we were watching the grandkids for a week. It was a highlight of the week. All 3 kids, 5 years, 8 yrs and 10 loved it. Something for everyone!”
“I attend The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Life Afterparty there and loved everything about Mother Wolf! The food was delicious, the staff were very friendly and the atmosphere was very cozy!”

“Great place to eat! We had our breakfast here and it was really nice. In the evening we went here again to have a quick bite, the staff was so friendly, kept the place open after 9pm and shared their left over pastries for free. 10/10 recommend.”

“Overall a cute little stop, with average food (except the eggs Benedict! It was amazing) It’s located in down town LA, so you are going to see homeless people, this is not the restaurants fault it’s just an LAism. Service was great and the overall vibe is super hollywood old silver screen but chic. Hash browns just tasted like any kind, and the soup was kind of tasteless; but the salad and eggs Benedict was great. They also have vegetarian options.”
“Great service , great ambience, great margarita drinks overall, an awesome place with outdoor patio. Just beautiful.”
“We had such a wonderful time. Amazing wine & terrific food!”
“Fabulous Mexican seafood place. Great cocktails, I had the milk punch, and it was delicious. Great selection of small plates, including aguachilies, cerviches and crude. as well as large sharable plates. We had the Branzino, which was prepared perfectly. Great vegetarian menu also. Save room for the Churros!”
“I have dined at Meteora many times before and it's usually been excellent however the night that we went, the timing of the courses was notably off and delayed. The couple next to us got there right before and another couple 2 tables down got there after us and they were both 2 entire courses ahead of us. The entire meal lasted 3 hours due to this. There was plenty of staff - we saw staff constantly circulating so I have no idea what happened. When I said something, they were apologetic and offered us more drinks on the house, which I did appreciate, however, I really wasn't planning on such a long dining experience and disliked that we were essentially forgotten for the first half of our time there.”
“Quality food, service and relaxed environment. Totally understated as the staff assist where needed with a minimum of fuss as we enjoyed the experience.”
“We enjoyed a beautiful and delicious birthday brunch with my wife and mother in law. Food is beautifully presented and generous. Service was polite, friendly and prompt. The ambience was lively and fun, with a background soundtrack and decor that made you feel immersed. Have been to two of their locations, will continue to go back.
Parking: Street parking is metered and can be challenging. Just be patient.”
“The pizza was to die for — we had the margarita pizza — thin crust and sauce delicious. We had the artichoke burrata appetizer which was delicious too. The area where the restaurant is located is very cool. Enjoyable all the way around.”

“Perfect place for friends night out!
Beef bone BBQ plate + cheese. One serving for three to four people, about 90 yuan.
I'll bake it in front of you. It's more than addictive.”
“Very clean nicely ran and pleasant environment when I went 8/15/2024. The Diablo burgers though! Omg ? ?
Kid-friendliness: Humble enough to bring kids definitely clean enough”
“The ice cream occasions truly delivers one of the best ice cream experiences. The flavors are incredibly rich and decadent, satisfying even the most discerning palates. The texture is perfectly creamy, creating a velvety smooth sensation with every bite. The variety of flavors available is impressive, catering to both classic and adventurous taste preferences. The ice cream occasion is a delightful treat for any ice cream lover.”
“The employees here are always a delight and really friendly. I appreciate their fast service as well.
Vegetarian options: Please bring back the Beyond Burgers”
“I do have a question, though. Can chili be shipped to Hawaii, so my Former Broworker, Tim Hawkins, can have a “Little taste of home?””
“Pretty much the greatest taco stand in the city. Their salsa is fantastic and pretty spicy, but you can wash it down with an horchata. You can’t go wrong with any of their meats. Clearly they’re know. For their carnitas, the al pastor and asada are fantastic as well. An LA treasure.
Also, eating there is an experience because you never know who’s gonna be eating there or just the random walking in the eating area, yelling “whaaaaaaaa!” And then just walking out as easily as that. Love this place.”
“They always go above and beyond to make us welcome & the food is just the best!”
“I had an exceptional experience at IHOP! The food, service, and atmosphere were really good. Our server, Brenda, went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we wanted and made our visit feel uniquely welcoming. She constantly checked up on us, was great to converse with, and was wonderful with my 1-year-old. The food was amazing, and the service was better than what we usually get from this big company. IHOP should definitely make Brenda a server trainer for all their restaurants. Highly recommend!”
“The people working here know what they’re doing and they put so much dedication on the sandwiches, they have the freshest veggies compared to the other locations I’ve been (like the gyms dtla location) the 2 younger boys and the lady with glasses provide the best service everytime I come in and they always make my sandwich good! Better to come here than the other subway locations tbh”
“Our family decided to have a BBQ lunch in the city and our friends met us at Baby Blues. Looks like a hole in the wall kinda place but don't let that discourage you. Very friendly and professional waitstaff. And this hit of the day had to be the baby back ribs! Wow! We also munched on the shrimp poorboy and the pulled pork sandwich.”
“Amazing takeout family meal which features the most flavorful and delicious Char Siu Wagyu Short Rib with fluffy bao. All side dishes are well executed and delectable. One of the best staying at home meals I’ve had! Highly recommend it!”
“The chicken and the customer service are so good, I was getting cucked by one of the employees and I made sure to thank him before I left. Will be coming back ?”
“The little plates are yummy. I love the pita bread that came with the hummus (Salatim plate). The other plates were good also. I loved the bread pudding (I think it's better than the best cake). What I like the most about Bacari, besides the beautiful ambiance, is the friendliest staff.”

“GREAT FOOD ALWAYS~ BEEN COMING TO THIS RESTAURANT FOR DECADES~ MAMA'S COOKING IS THE BEST!!!! Pollack Casserole Steamed Cod Fish Seasoned Pork W/Veggie Seasoned Oysters must try~♡♡♡♡♡”
“There were a lot of reviews saying the service was bad, expensive, etc., so I was wondering whether to come or not, but when I came, I tried the meat and it was delicious.
It's not expensive, the soybean paste stew and steamed egg are very delicious, and the cold noodles are highly recommended!! ?”
“The sandwiches were exceptional. I had the Kickin’ Chicken, my wife the Tuna. All the ingredients were high quality, and the flavors and textures were wonderful.”
“Amazing place with an all vegetarian menu (with vegan options available). The staff is super friendly. The chef Mario offers great customisations. The Caprese pizza is to die for! Everything was delicious- from the salad, to appetizers, to the pizza. Service was quick. Food presentation was great.
Vegetarian options: All vegetarian menu”
“I love Pine & Crane! Seriously amazing Taiwanese food. The restaurant is stylish, modern and clean while the food is very authentic and completely delicious. My kids were surprised at how tasty everything was. Healthy too! We will def be back often!!!! If they have it, the lotus root salad is a must! 3 cup chicken is amazing, wontons, etc… I want to try the wood ear mushrooms next!!!”
“Exceeds expectations! Atmosphere is a bit loud, but it feels happy and like you’re at a big party. Excellent service, friendly staff and absolutely delicious food.

“Ambiance is exceptional!
The service was careful and attentive and the food is flavorful. For the price point I hesitate to recommend the chicken, and our pizza was a litttttle burnt but again the flavors are great. The Caesar salad really stood out for me. And I would definitely recommend this to a friend for an intimate dinner.”
“Everything was perfect except for the waiter. We had to ask to order drinks, ask to order, ask for drinks again, ask to get the plates cleared, ask for a dessert menu, ask for the bill. They were not that busy and all we needed was a somewhat engaging waiter. He seemed annoyed to be there.”
“Superb place. Unfortunately Jonny Won (?) left couple of years ago but the current Chef is more than capable of upholding this restaurant's glowing reputation for exceptionally fresh ingredients and superb cooking skills. My only advice is to stick to fish and leave the meat dishes as, although nice, are not quite "wow" as they used to be.”
“Great place to eat! We had our breakfast here and it was really nice. In the evening we went here again to have a quick bite, the staff was so friendly, kept the place open after 9pm and shared their left over pastries for free. 10/10 recommend.”

“Angelini Osteria totally lived up to the hype! We had a great dinner there that night and I can't wait to go back again soon. Let's start with the star of this show: uni pasta. Oh my gosh, it was divine! The uni was so fresh and creamy and the pasta itself was cooked just right. Every bite was an explosion of flavor. We also tried the baked lasagna and it was delightful. The layers were perfectly balanced and each bite was full of rich, savory flavors. Let's not forget dessert! We shared a few different things and they were all great. The tiramisu was fluffy and decadent and the chocolate mousse was rich and smooth. Overall, Angelini Osteria is definitely a must-try for Italian food lovers in Los Angeles. The food is incredible, the service is friendly, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. We can't wait to come back and try more dishes on the menu!”
“Small cute place , staff are really nice
I have a nut allergy and the lady was really good at telling me what was safe for me , and the food I ate was safe and gave me no issues of course
Delicious curry and good prices, everyone in my party loved their food
And the Thai tea was a perfect way to end the meal
Dietary restrictions: Safe ?”
“This place is a hidden gem. The owner was so attentive to our needs, even going as far as to shake our hands when we left. Incredible service. The sushi, which is really the reason we came here, was so fresh and delicious. It was nice to eat at the bar and have each item come up immediately after it was prepared. The crispy rice rolls were my favorite, spicy tuna hand roll also delicious. Reasonable prices, excellent quality and great service and ambiance. We will be returning soon!”
“This place is awesome. Walk into the Delphi hotel lobby and through to your left, you’ll find this somewhat hidden gem.
I walked in and it took me less than 30 seconds to get seated by a friendly server. He let me have the pick of the place, as it was less busy as it was a Monday evening.
When you sit, you feel as though you’re in an elevated diner. There are large glass windows looking out to the courtyard if you’re up for a private, yet outdoorsy setting.
I chose to be a hermit inside though haha. I ordered the Delphi Double Smash burger and was so happy I did. In n Out ain’t got nothin on this place! It’s a similar smash burger idea, just executed better. The caramelized onions are a perfect touch as well. I ordered mine with tater tots which were cooked to a perfectly delicious brown crisp. I was also served a pickle spear. When I tasted it, I know it wasn’t just your run of the mill pickle. My server confirmed my suspicion and I was right! They make their own pickles in house!
The bartender let me taste a drink they were straw testing and I couldn’t believe how good it was! Who knew two ingredients could complement each other so well! I’m not giving away his secret, but if you’d like what I’m talking about, just ask him for his “Summer Crack” drink! Haha. I loved it!
It’s always strange traveling alone and eating in a restaurant by yourself. These guys made me feel right at home and I really appreciated it.
Bottom line, if you’re looking for elevated diner fare, look no further. If you’re looking for super friendly and attentive service, go nowhere else. If you’re looking for a pretty cool playlist that is at the perfect volume to still hear it but not drown out conversation, you found it!
When traveling, I try not to repeat the restaurants I visit, but it may not be possible for me this time around. I kind of want to come back here for breakfast tomorrow, but we’ll see!
10/10 recommend.”
“Totally worth the 70 minute drive. Delicious food and great Taiwanese hospitality. Friendly, attentive staff and wonderful atmosphere. Minced Pork (Lu-Rou) Rice, fully loaded delicious stewed pork with egg. Meats are juicy and tender, kinda on the sweet side. Clamshell bun (Gua Bao) comes with tender thick cut pork, a bit on the salty side, but very well cooked. Fatty but not greasy. Thousand layer pancake with egg and basil was crispy and flaky. The basil flavor is a wonderful addition. Scallion bread sandwich was what we expected. Same tender thick cut pork, very happy to eat this. Next time I will probably get the beef, too much pork belly today Wonton soup is very classic, if you like shrimp wontons, you have to try this. We ended the meal with Hakka mochi and Oolong tea, the mochi tasted just like the ones in Taiwan. The tea was fragrant and is just the perfect compliment to the mochi. Overall an amazing meal with warm and friendly people, highly recommend!”
“Delicious brunch today at Lemon Poppy. The whole family enjoyed it.”
“What a hidden treasure in WLA! The restaurant is a combination of delicious food, a wonderful staff and a fantastic owner!!!! The wings (and many other choices) are delicious and made with loving care. The food makes me smile!!!!!!”
“Yummy. Shawarma, pilaf, manti are delicious. Must to try!”
“The food,service and the atmosphere is amazing. The owner and his employees is very welcoming and friendly. Everything is clean and sanitized which is important for me. Food is AMAZING literally! This is about my 3rd time coming, and today makes the first time I came back since (renovations last year) and I was excited to see they added Mac and cheese to the menu. I ordered 2 ribs tip dinners which the wait time was under 10 minutes. YES MY FOOD WAS HOT AF! And the rib tips were just as I remembered them to be tender, flavorful and juicy. The sides portion size alone is bigger than there competitors. They definitely are worth the visit. The only reason I gave them 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the Mac and cheese. I was not a fan of the Mac ? and I wanted to like it so bad . The bake beans are fire. The Mac and cheese did not ruin it for me. I will definitely be back again.”
“It’s not easy to find good Indian food restaurant in LA but luckily we found it .
We ordered haka noodles ( which is not in the menu but if you will ask it then they will give it to you). It was ok .
Second dish was Chicken Momos which was by far the stand out dish . There were only 6 pieces . 0 Marks for Presentation but taste wise was 4.5/5 .
Lastly , we ordered chicken tikka(boneless) which was good too. Specially with green chutney which was very yummy.
Special thanks to Dhillon for his service and recommendation.”
“I ate here late on a Friday night, and the food was incredible! I got the Banger with tater tots, and everything was delicious. The tots are seasoned and come with a green chile sauce and ketchup. The sandwich was hot, cheesy, and so flavorful. I loved the crispy shallots! There are only 4 seats inside, so there might not be seating if you go at a busy time. The employees were all friendly and the overall atmosphere was bright and fun. This place is a gem!”
“Great Korean BBQ & Attentive ServiceThis is a fantastic spot for authentic Korean BBQ in K-Town. I would rate this place a 4.5, but I'm giving it 5 stars to be generous. While it's not all-you-can-eat (which I actually prefer for a more focused dining experience), the quality of the food is top-notch. Their set menus come with a variety of delicious sides, including cheese corn and spicy noodles to finish. No more lunch box on the menu, but some of the best kimchi fried rice in K-Town—a must-try side dish.The restaurant is almost always buzzing, but the service is excellent. The staff is attentive and will even cook your food at the table for you if you'd like. The atmosphere is lively with good music and a fun crowd. It's conveniently located in Chapman Plaza, which offers a few other bars and restaurants, and is close to many other options on 6th Street.I noticed some reviews mentioning changes since COVID. While there have been some adjustments, the overall experience is still fantastic.Overall: this place is a must-try for anyone looking for delicious Korean BBQ with a fun vibe and great service.
Parking: The small lots in Chapman Plaza fill up quickly. There's a much more convenient option: the parking garage across S. Kenmore next to Woo Hyang Woo Korean BBQ (545 S Kenmore Ave, K 3 Parking). It's a flat $20 and stays open until 1 AM.”

“Absolutely loved this experience. Thank you for this wonderful comfortable dinner. It’s exactly what I love. The restaurant is not big which I liked because it felt cozy and not super crowded. Non of the courses specifically stood out but everything was perfect. Service was absolutely incredible, always caring and super friendly. Loved how they kept giving extra courses and even adding a lovely Polaroid picture at the end. It’s crazy how they even thank us again by sending a letter to my address. Loved it and LOVED IT. Just go”
“My experience at Omakase by Osen was great! This was my first Omakase experience and will certainly not be my last. All of the courses offered for the Nagatsuki Omakase were delicious, but my favorites had to be the wagyu wrap and egg custard. The quality was great, but for the amount of food you get, $140 may not be worth it to you if you expect to be totally full after. However, I definitely value the dining experience that comes with the food so it was worth it for me. The waitresses were so attentive and even did a little extra for me since it was my birthday. I would highly recommend!”
“My boyfriend and I got the omakase but to be honest it was not worth it, the food tasted great but you can get almost the exact same course by ordering the 10 piece nigiri from the menu for half of the price. The atmosphere is nice but not appropriate for a traditional omakase. Highly recommend, just save your money and skip out on the omakase.”
“Chill atmosphere, fresh ingredients, crab rice was great. Highly recommend btw there is parking in the back but it can fill up. For gluten free they do sub stuff for you to make it gluten free but most of the menu is naturally GF anyway excluding soy sauce I believe”
“Went here last night with some friends who raved about this place, and it did not disappoint! We asked our server, Mickey, to bring us her favorites, with wines chosen by Rachel, our sommelier. The quality of the food, wine pairings and service rank among the best I've experienced -- and I say that having dined at Central in Lima, Peru (#1 restaurant in South America and #2 in the world) in 2022. An amazing meal!!”
“Deliberately hard to find from the outside, refined Japanese craftsmanship inside, with just enough Los Angeles flair.
Food is superb, and if you can snag a reservation to one of the Kaneyoshi x Inaba collaboration nights, it's even better, if that's believable. The latter are not cheap (paying two chefs, each with their own Michelin star, never is), but it's so good.
Parking: Garage parking. Small sign right by entrance.”
“This is a gem! I’m a big fan of Omakase sushi and this place did not disappoint. I highly recommend sitting at the bar. Service was impeccable, friendly, and always ready. Attention to detail was superb! I didn’t take any photos because they asked me to silence my phones (you can still take photos), but I wanted to be respectful and also focus on my taste buds and not my phone. Admittedly this place doesn’t look much from the outside (Weller Court could use some updates), but don’t be afraid to step inside. One suggestion for them is to have a sake pairing option as I am a sake lover. I did get their cold sake that ended up tasting wonderful, so I’m not complaining. As for price, I think it’s reasonable for an Omakase place like this. You’re really paying for the experience. Without drinks, I think it’s around $200 for a full course meal and tax/tip. Highly recommend!”
“Lovely spot for Sushi, very elegant and chic. I definitely enjoyed the sushi tasted very fresh and had that silky taste to it. It was also my first time trying the purple flowers I forgot the name but they were delicious. I'm unsure if its very busy but it looked almost empty when we arrived very calm and pretty. The little shopping center outside was also fun.
Dietary restrictions: Has gluten free options and others.”
“Absolutely stunning dinner! An intimate setting with dishes that feel new and fresh. Staffed with the warmest people. Must try the soft shell crab hand roll and ube ice cream :~)”
“Everything was perfect except for the waiter. We had to ask to order drinks, ask to order, ask for drinks again, ask to get the plates cleared, ask for a dessert menu, ask for the bill. They were not that busy and all we needed was a somewhat engaging waiter. He seemed annoyed to be there.”
“GREAT FOOD ALWAYS~ BEEN COMING TO THIS RESTAURANT FOR DECADES~ MAMA'S COOKING IS THE BEST!!!! Pollack Casserole Steamed Cod Fish Seasoned Pork W/Veggie Seasoned Oysters must try~♡♡♡♡♡”

“I've been visiting this hidden gem for over a decade, and I can confidently say that their bánh mì remains some of the best I’ve ever had in Chinatown! The #1 option with cold cuts and Vietnamese-style meatloaf is incredibly flavorful. I might be mistaken, but I detect a lovely smoky note that elevates the entire sandwich.
The bread is truly exceptional—fresh, soft on the inside, and perfectly crunchy on the outside. It’s the ideal baguette to complement the vibrant fillings. Every bite is a delightful mix of textures and flavors that keeps me coming back for more. If you’re in the area, you have to give this place a try!”
“Make sure u come the time when it opens, or u have to wait in line. Very nice and delicious food. Very affordable, and you can feel the unique vibe of it culture”
“Amazing tacos! I’m slowing working my way through the menu. This is the type of small business we should be supporting. Walking into the restaurant is like walking into their home in the Yucatán peninsula in Mexico. The salsas were sooo fresh and bright! Can’t believe it took my two years to find out about this place 10 min from home.”
“Pailin Thai Cuisine was the first place we had dinner when we arrived in LA in August 2024. It is some of the best Thai food we have ever had. The dishes are kept simple (as they should be) and at the same time the flavor combination is fantastic. Only five stars and a huge recommendation from here. In addition, the price is more than fair - it is the cheapest (but the best) meal we have had so far on our tour of California.”
“I never leave reviews bc who has the time but the Mariposa sandwich was quite literally the best sandwich I’ve ever had, vegan or not. I know meat eaters and vegans alike would be so satiated by this. It was as flavorful and mouthwatering as anything. Fr was dancing in my seat. They have mostly meat items besides this. Atmosphere and service was impeccable too. 10/10 recommend fr.”
“Really love this place! Food is good, but staff is even better. Every time i go in to pick up, Bri is always super attentive and extremely courteous.
Def recommend “The Dad””
“Fabulous staff here with very affordable prices on food AND drinks! The new happy hour now starts at 2pm EVERY DAY till 8pm!!!! Love the upgrade draft beer options to a boom sh size for only $3 more!!!! Great new local neighborhood bar. Fantastic games room with something for everyone.”
“Came here for a quick bite to eat after a movie. Tortillas are made on the spot and are delicious! Sauces and extras are available to put as much or little as you like. $14 for a chicken burrito and 3 chicken tacos.”
“Unbelievable flavors! My friends and I were blown away by the vegan combo—each bite was a burst of spices and textures that danced on our tongues. The Awaze chicken? Profound fire! Tender, spicy, and perfectly cooked. This place doesn’t just serve food; it serves a delightful experience. We’ll be dreaming of this meal for weeks. Do yourself a favor and GO!!!”
“This was delish. We got the chicken pesto and the Californian. Chicken pesto was my fave, along with the queso and chips. The queso is more like that one cheez recipe, with cashews and potatos and carrots— you know that one? Aka delicious as heck. But more like that than queso. So happy to have gone here.”
“5 rating Vegan Delicious Pizza!! Slices, full pies, caesar salad, garlic knots, all house-made ingredients. cashew-based cheese. loved it!! As of October 2022, opened for 8 mos.”
“Believe the hype! I don't know what else to say.
I did a burger tour around LA last month when I was in town. This place barely made my list of the 5 places I narrowed it down to, and boy am I glad it did. It was the best burger I had during the trip.
I don't know if it's something in the beef blend they're using or if it's just the combo of grilled onions, that sauce, and those beautiful smashed patties, but it managed to be so much more than the sum of its parts. Easily one of the best burgers I've ever eaten. Bravo.
My wife had the reuben, which was also great. This is the burger I'd eat again if I went back to LA.”
“The employee Alfredo always is very friendly and helpful and he also gives us excellent service. Another thing that he always smiling that’s why I feel very comfortable to ask someone when I needed . Alfredo is excellent employee.”
“Service is ok. Taiwanese food here is pretty good, we ordered few dishes, even though they are not spicy but they had good flavors. The place is super busy and we had to wait in line for almost an hour. But still recommend this place due to great food.”
“From cocktails (vesper), to Hummus ful, lobster with lime, wood-fire shawarma, red snapper ravine, bergamot chocolate cake, and soft serve ice cream- it was all delicious!!”
“Quality food, service and relaxed environment. Totally understated as the staff assist where needed with a minimum of fuss as we enjoyed the experience.”
“Amazing place with an all vegetarian menu (with vegan options available). The staff is super friendly. The chef Mario offers great customisations. The Caprese pizza is to die for! Everything was delicious- from the salad, to appetizers, to the pizza. Service was quick. Food presentation was great.
Vegetarian options: All vegetarian menu”
“My friend and I had an exquisite dining experience at Bar Sawa. Each course was prepared and presented to perfection. The place was a little tricky to find; there were no signs, and it was in the basement of a very unexpected building. You can also only get down there through the middle elevator! The instructions to get to the restaurant were emailed, but I didn't get to read it in time, so it was my fault. ? We thoroughly enjoyed our meal, ambiance and the entire experience. Highly recommend!”
“Fabulous Mexican seafood place. Great cocktails, I had the milk punch, and it was delicious. Great selection of small plates, including aguachilies, cerviches and crude. as well as large sharable plates. We had the Branzino, which was prepared perfectly. Great vegetarian menu also. Save room for the Churros!”
“I love Pine & Crane! Seriously amazing Taiwanese food. The restaurant is stylish, modern and clean while the food is very authentic and completely delicious. My kids were surprised at how tasty everything was. Healthy too! We will def be back often!!!! If they have it, the lotus root salad is a must! 3 cup chicken is amazing, wontons, etc… I want to try the wood ear mushrooms next!!!”
“Really great quality food. From the tasty mushrooms in a perfect consistency sauce to the tender bistek. This place is a fun Filipino hot spot on Sawtelle! The Brussel sprouts, lumpia, pancit and adobo will fill you up! Portions are family style. Highly recommend!”
“Great spot to keep in mind when in Los Angeles. Fresh pasta. Great taste.”
“Overall a cute little stop, with average food (except the eggs Benedict! It was amazing) It’s located in down town LA, so you are going to see homeless people, this is not the restaurants fault it’s just an LAism. Service was great and the overall vibe is super hollywood old silver screen but chic. Hash browns just tasted like any kind, and the soup was kind of tasteless; but the salad and eggs Benedict was great. They also have vegetarian options.”
“There were a lot of reviews saying the service was bad, expensive, etc., so I was wondering whether to come or not, but when I came, I tried the meat and it was delicious.
It's not expensive, the soybean paste stew and steamed egg are very delicious, and the cold noodles are highly recommended!! ?”
“Second time at the Bike Shed Motto Co. with my friends, celebrating their last day in LA.
I got parmesan truffle fries ?? , and I asked if they could add garlic, and they were more than accommodating, which I was very grateful for. I was also not drinking. So I got a nice guava mocktail?. I was really looking forward towards a tiramisu, but sadly, they didn't have any, but the vegan apple crumble was also a very good alternative.
The place is very nice and cozy. They have different sections in the restaurant. They even have a barber shop. One of the showrooms usually has motorcycles and even produces events in their next door area.”
“New favorite. The yellow Japanese Common tableware plates !”
“I was impressed with this place! A great find indeed. Outstanding meal here. The staff does an amazing job of describing anything on the menu and the ambiance is very cool. Can't wait to come back!”
“The Park's Finest is a great serendipity for our travel to L.A. The food is fabulous, the atmosphere is welcoming. JonEric and Chris were wonderful hosts. I really love the beef adobo with its unique blend of flavors.
Not only were our palates satisfied, we were also pleasantly surprised with the history of this gem of a place. If you're ever in the L.A. region, visit this little gem. It will be worth your while.”
“We have been going to Horses ever since they opened since it’s right in our neighborhood. The most friendly staff with a big shout out to Amanda. The most amazing craft cocktails and absolutely delicious food. I think we’ve almost tried everything on the menu and have not been disappointed once. Can be hard to get a reservation, but we usually get there at 5:15 and are able to sit at the bar with no problem.”
“Usually very good sandwiches and pastries. Great coffee. I go there a few times a year. Double check the plain croissants before ordering. I had a bad one once. Soft, no flake, no flavor. Was the exception to be cautious about for $5 a try.”
“Great spot. Nina offered a terrific welcome. We had condiments and drinks right away. Ordering was smooth and food arrived quickly. Lots of attention from servers helping to cook the meats on the grill. Beautiful cuts of meat and interesting sides.”
“Service is excellent!!!
The food blew me away. Everything I had was flavorful and familiar, yet new.
Ordered eggs benedict, peperoni pizza, and a salad. Yum!!!!
Parking is a challenge.”
“Found this place while visiting the walk of fame and it’s a MUST STOP!.
Regarding food I’m going to give it a 10/10, and can sum up the review on: it has that “home food” taste on dishes that are supposed to be that way, and street food taste on the street food dishes they serve. Overall impressed with this place and will be definitely come back. Between my party we tried various dishes and liked them all.”
“Propaganda is an amazing place with very good aperitivo and high quality wine and food. Service was superb. A big thank you to the owner Claudio. Very much recommended.”
“Angelini Osteria totally lived up to the hype! We had a great dinner there that night and I can't wait to go back again soon. Let's start with the star of this show: uni pasta. Oh my gosh, it was divine! The uni was so fresh and creamy and the pasta itself was cooked just right. Every bite was an explosion of flavor. We also tried the baked lasagna and it was delightful. The layers were perfectly balanced and each bite was full of rich, savory flavors. Let's not forget dessert! We shared a few different things and they were all great. The tiramisu was fluffy and decadent and the chocolate mousse was rich and smooth. Overall, Angelini Osteria is definitely a must-try for Italian food lovers in Los Angeles. The food is incredible, the service is friendly, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. We can't wait to come back and try more dishes on the menu!”
“It was even better than I remember. I had the catfish po boy, chicken & waffles. The French bread, remoulade sauce & generous seasoning of the fish were delicious. I would definitely not consider myself a grits fan but the fried cinnamon sugar grits…so good. I can definitely post photos of empty boxes but other than that ??♀️. You’re going to have to order your own. Make sure you order directly on the restaurant site www.gritznwafflez.com. Signed up with my email when I ordered & got a discount.”
“Our server was so fantastic. They were attentive and also gave us time to ourselves which was nice. They were also very knowledgeable about the menu and ultimately the recommendations were spot on.”
“Really nice space inside of the museum courtyard. Food is a California classic executed precisely. Still some dishes that are not outrageously priced, including wine. 18% gratuity is included”
“I traveled from Palm Springs, CA to meet my daughter from San Diego, my son who is visiting from Portland, Oregon and the amazing friends from the LA area at Barra Santos. My kids and I traveled to Portugal last year and was exposed to very tasty Portuguese food and Barra Santos didn’t disappoint. Every dish we had at Marta Santos was delicious and fresh. Made me miss Portugal.
The service was also great. We sat at the bar and the people who served us were very attentive.
I wish we have a place like Barra Santos in Palm Springs.”
“This place is a hidden gem. The owner was so attentive to our needs, even going as far as to shake our hands when we left. Incredible service. The sushi, which is really the reason we came here, was so fresh and delicious. It was nice to eat at the bar and have each item come up immediately after it was prepared. The crispy rice rolls were my favorite, spicy tuna hand roll also delicious. Reasonable prices, excellent quality and great service and ambiance. We will be returning soon!”
“Omg I lived on the west side for so many years and I just found this place!!! Shame on me! Incredible giant California rolls and yummy Katsu chicken dipping sauce. It's also a market place which is super cool, you can buy snacks and other stuff too while you're there. The vibe is chill and. Just which there were more seatings outdoors. Will definitely be back again.”
“This place is a gem! The staff was welcoming and friendly, helpful and attentive through the entire experience. The food was excellent: some expected Indian fare (curries, tandoori, biryani, daal, etc) and some mash ups (mac and cheese pakora, paneer masala fries, korma alfredo, dosa quesadilla). Everything we had was fantastic. Prices are reasonable, too!”
“Incredible flavors that make for quite the pizza eating experience. The seats at the bar offer a great view of the kitchen and you can watch your pizza get prepared in the wood-fired oven. Highly recommend!”
“I couldn't believe the sushi was plant based! The flavors of all the sauces were incredible. Big props to the chef for making every dish so distinct and flavorful. We ordered half of the menu and loved every single dish.”
“So beautiful! The patio, the service, the food. Everything is wonderfilled. And vegan!!!
Vegetarian options: Vegan peanut butter stem and charred okra salad are amazing.”
“My experience at Omakase by Osen was great! This was my first Omakase experience and will certainly not be my last. All of the courses offered for the Nagatsuki Omakase were delicious, but my favorites had to be the wagyu wrap and egg custard. The quality was great, but for the amount of food you get, $140 may not be worth it to you if you expect to be totally full after. However, I definitely value the dining experience that comes with the food so it was worth it for me. The waitresses were so attentive and even did a little extra for me since it was my birthday. I would highly recommend!”
“From the initial greeting, to the lovely outside seating, to the great service staff, to really great flavors, it was a terrific meal. Our whole group concurred, “let’s come back here.””
“One of the best restaurants I have been to. Everything about this spot was first-class. From the sake, to the cocktails, to the unbelievable food. Everything we had was phenomenal but the highlights were the Japanese sweet potato w/ miso butter, pork jowl, and the negima.”
“Amazing, always come here before the Kings games!”
“This place has become our must go-to soondubu spot for me and my friend whenever visiting LA! It never disappoints, and always looking forward to going back for the goodness.”
“Went here last night with some friends who raved about this place, and it did not disappoint! We asked our server, Mickey, to bring us her favorites, with wines chosen by Rachel, our sommelier. The quality of the food, wine pairings and service rank among the best I've experienced -- and I say that having dined at Central in Lima, Peru (#1 restaurant in South America and #2 in the world) in 2022. An amazing meal!!”
“First the atmosphere: it's a cute, well put together little Japanese restaurant. Walls line with art and photos. You can read the history of the place as you eat. Dining tables and a bar to sit and enjoy a meal.Second, the food: impeccable food displayed on nice plates. Large chunks of fish in the sushi rolls. Spicy tuna and salmon roll had a smooth texture and world-class taste. I did not use soy sauce or because the fish was amazing by itself. This alone will bring me back. I ordered a combo with beef teriyaki and pork cutlet. The pork cutlet was succulent. Pick it up with chopsticks and marvel at the juiced flow. The crust had standalone flavor that I might use as a topping by itself if that were an option. The beef was cooked to perfection. The yeriyaki sauce had a unique taste to it. Came with soup and salad. Miso is a simple dish that this establishment has perfected. The salad was a standard side salad with ginger dressing. Great way to cleanse the palatte. Tempura was also served, and it was again a world-class dish. Fresh tasting veggies and two healthy shrimp.Lastly, the service:the older woman who was there was a gem, and this review is not about her. This review is about the young, inexperienced waitress. I don't think she has enough experience to be serving folks, so this may not be the best place for her to learn. This establishment is the longest running japanese restaurant in Los Angeles. That comes with a heavy burden. The young waitress was not warm or inviting. These two traits are set in stone within japanese culture. As the older woman tried coaching the younger, she younger woman gave dirty looks and rolled her eyes. She seemed uninterested and worse than that, unwilling to learn from her elder. I will be back at some point and hope to see how her journey is going.Overall, you will be satisfied here. Please come one and all to a modern marvel of japanese cuisine in the greater Los Angeles area.”
“Superb place. Unfortunately Jonny Won (?) left couple of years ago but the current Chef is more than capable of upholding this restaurant's glowing reputation for exceptionally fresh ingredients and superb cooking skills. My only advice is to stick to fish and leave the meat dishes as, although nice, are not quite "wow" as they used to be.”
“There are so many good things to say about Jemma: The service exceeds expectations. From the bartender to the servers and the hostess it is consistent, professional and kind. And the food is so fresh and delicious and reasonable for today's standards.”
“OMG!! we came here before the Angus and Julia Stone concert (around the corner from the Orpheum Theatre) the last Saturday in June and what a cozy little joint this place is! We sat at the bar
Service was spot on, my wine was delicious (a Chenin Blanc) and the Bolognese Pappardelle was mouthwateringly good! The wine list consist of natural wines. Such a chill vibe in here but we were early in our reservations so keeping that in mind I'd say it might get busier the later the hour. Also be aware they do NOT take cash for payment of your meal. They do, of course for tips just not for the meal.
Not a lot of room in here so don't come with the thought of a romantic dinner for two where you can whisper sweet-nothings to one another without someone else overhearing hahaha.
Parking lot was well lit behind the building, it is shared with the Theater.
Respectfully Reviewed.”
“So it seems this place is seasonal in terms of food so I am unsure what’s something that stays on the menu. I got the turkey meatloaf, fries and deviled eggs. My friend got the loaded baked potato gnocchi (not pictured) and the broccolini. I will say I heard this place was really good so maybe this just wasn’t the best season to go, but the food was good but not overall memorable. Meatloaf was tender and moist and I enjoyed the tangy sauce but it wasn’t a wow factor to it. I would say the star was surprisingly the broccolini. It was amazingly flavorful. I really enjoyed it. The deviled eggs were really good too. Nice little kick to them. The gnocchi, though cooked well, didn’t really evoke a loaded baked potato. I would have been good to have some sort or acid or something with it, as it’s really rich as well. Overall it was good! Not great but solid. I am unsure if I would return unless I saw maybe something different on the menu I’d want to try. I’ll def keep track of their menu to see. A nice date night spot because the restaurant was very cute.”
“Second time visiting this location. 1st time it a To-Go order and decided to come back.
Both times you are greeted with a Smile and Welcoming attitude.
The staff is Super Friendly. I honestly experienced a Family gathering.
The waitress remember us from our To-Go order. Weeks have passed and even remembered where we sat to wait.
I ordered Señor Donn's Latino Heat. Maybe I didn't like because I even licked my plate. Very tasty with a little hit. The biscuit with thei Jelly, well, your mouth is in Heaven”
“Exlente cervicio y excelente comida y el ambiente espectacular”
“Republique is a Los Angeles Icon - a coming together of amazing food, in a history location... and the wine list is amazing.”
“Ambiance is exceptional!
The service was careful and attentive and the food is flavorful. For the price point I hesitate to recommend the chicken, and our pizza was a litttttle burnt but again the flavors are great. The Caesar salad really stood out for me. And I would definitely recommend this to a friend for an intimate dinner.”
“Delicious all you can eat Korean barbecue!! Will be back!”
“Great service , great ambience, great margarita drinks overall, an awesome place with outdoor patio. Just beautiful.”
“Friendly team. Service can be faster!! But as they say bbq is slow”
“So so good. First time here and had the best experience with staff and everything was so fast. The place is super clean and all the food was amazinggggg. Will 100% be back!!”
“Love Ajito!! Has been my favorite local sushi spot for over 8 years!”
“Delicious FOOD. Had the 1/2 chicken with white rice and Peruvian beans. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. The chicken was so moist and soft . As well as the Maracuya drink it was delicious and refreshing. Staff !! So attentive and nice. Will be coming back . ☺️”
“Been here a few times with my friends, what a great echo park staple for reliability good Thai food! Check it out :)
Vegetarian options: Tofu & veggies!”
“Happily found Oriel by chance! Had planned to go elsewhere, however that place was packed & we needed to be in a calmer space., So we walked and found Oriel! So glad we did! Had some bubbly and snacks before heading to KCRW Summer Nights in Chinatown. Besides music by DJs and dancing, we thought we would grab another bite however nothing sparked interest so we returned to Oriel! Ate and drank &.were so satisfied with everything! Plus the staff are wonderful!
Pleasant, informative and caring! Reminds me I need to return soon! An oasis.”
“Great spot, even better atmosphere, I loved the halloween theme in August. They do it right. They are known for their burgers, I did not have one, so the fish and chips were a 4 .”

“I just want to thank you Mr. Jerry for all you do, very amazing. I was very skeptical at first, never heard of someone fixing low credit score on excellent reports. After being turned down for a home loan, I filed for my credit report to see what was on it. To my dismay there were duplications, misinformation as well as things that weren't even mine. No wonder I couldn't get the loan. A friend from work said to me that good day, my friend look out for JerryLink Credit Group on the Internet and so I did. After going through and I saw some positive reviews, I decided to contact them. I’m glad I did. It took only 15days to erase negative information, and push my score to 790s from the initial 550s across all three bureaus. You too can testify like me by reaching out to them”

“I Love Amara!!! The best Avocado Toast in town!!! Nice atmosphere, friendly people and great service!”
“Very disappointed in the entertainment. No beetle juice, only 3 performers (Raven, sally, and corpse bride). Was not worth the 100 dollars we each paid. It was very boring waiting for the entertainment to come out and then only for a very short time. I give the entertainment 1 star.”
“It's too bad they closed. The food was great. No more Chinese restaurants in San Pedro other than the Panda Express and Northern Cafe. The food at Panda Express is just okay. The food at the Northern Cafe is excellent. If you haven't tried it you are missing out. I highly recommend it. Nim Chans is also very good for take out”
“Absolutely the best food and great service. The baklava is probably the best I’ve tasted in a while. We’ll certainly be back again!”
“It is the best place to go to eat was seeing the bad comments. Those people are the one who likes to eat all that food they sell outside that Michoacana because they have no manners or taste of the good clean and the service of those who attendI go from Long Beach because a relative recommended me and everything is very tasty 😋 very clean and its excellent pity that is located in that aria of people who do not value the good [Original] Es el mejor lugar para ir a comer estaba viendo los malos comentarios esa gente es la que le gusta comer toda esa comida que venden a fuera de esa michoacana porque no tienen modales ni sabor de lo bueno lo limpio y el servicio de los que atienden yo voy de Long Beach porque un familiar me recomendó y todo está muy sabroso 😋 muy limpio y su personal excelente lástima que está ubicado en esa aria de gente que no valora lo bueno”
“I've been coming to this location for the past 6 years. Excellent customer service. Super nice and there Aguas Frescas are AMAZING!! Quesadillas are huge! Carne Asada is so flavorful! Delicious!! Definitely have to try them if you are in LA.”
“A little over 3 years ago, Fleur Cafe opened, and has been a fine success as a small, one-of family restaurant with excellent service and great food at reasonable prices. Now they have expanded their kitchen, and finally introduced an expanded menu with wonderful new dishes added to the popular favorites! I personally enjoy the outdoor dining option, but they have also got a nice little dining room. Prices have gone up a bit, but it is still a very reasonable breakfast, brnch and lunch choice.”
“I've been in Los Angeles California for over 40 years. This one of the far most the most delicious soulfood i have had in years. Gave me a Lil taste of home. I'm sure other dishes are as delicious .”
“Today I discovered the curry shrimp. It was awesome! It might be my new favorite! My husband enjoyed the Curry Goat. We also got some patties for later. We had enough on our plates to have leftovers! That means we will get to enjoy our food again.”
“What a hidden treasure in WLA! The restaurant is a combination of delicious food, a wonderful staff and a fantastic owner!!!! The wings (and many other choices) are delicious and made with loving care. The food makes me smile!!!!!!”

“I was in LA a couple of weeks ago on business and found this spot the day before leaving and that's my biggest regret. Wish we'd found it the first day we we're there I'd have been eating there everyday. The food and atmosphere are excellent and a live DJ playing music we all grew up on (can you dig it ✊?). The purple (grape) kool-aid was a blast from the past fo so.”
“It has many stalls of different varieties of merchants for food, candies, ice cream and produces etc. It's a nice place to bring friends visiting from our of states to experience this lively market. The Angel Flight is across the street on Hill and only $1 for the ride. Parking garage entrance is on Hill.”
“We were impressed, pleased, grateful that the manager or owner was able to accommodate our party of 7, when we were originally a party of 6 but added one more last minute. Thank you for that. The food was tasty but would've appreciated larger pasta portion sizes for the price. The pizza sizes were ample. Would've also appreciated less of reaching in front of us adding water to our glasses and interrupting conversation and more just leaving the bottle of water at the table. Servers were very attentive, but would've liked less interruptions. Overall though the food, service, timing and accommodating us was all great!”
“It's been a while since I've been to Tam's. I appreciate the consistent taste in the food. Service was a bit slow as it seemed our waitress has this whole section in another room and just our table in the next. Things did get better. Drinks took a bit as well. Overall enjoyed coming back and will see if we can put this in the rotation for the family!”
“Le grand is a unique experience offering all you can eat tapas and drinks. It is fairly priced. The location is generally packed. Make sure you have reservation. Parking wasn't as difficult as I thought. There is a local parking structure. The food was ok, the service is a little Ll over the place. A few times, my orders were not delivered. But overall ,it's not a bad place or concept. Trying once at least for yourself.”
“Jorge is the man! Great service all around. Took care of my partner and I and I couldn’t be more grateful. Great individual and great care along with great recommendations. Keep up the great work Jorge! 10/10”
“Muy buen servicio todo muy rico y la chava del show muy sencilla y amable”
“We weren't spending a massive amount, but for us it was a lot, and our server made us feel special and went out of her way to make our entire experience special. The food was outstanding quality, with massive flavour hits in every mouthful. We loved the anchovies that came in their own tin, and whilst we each had very different primo dishes, each hit the spot for us precisely. My partner had a sorbet which was both rich and exotic - not a usual descriptor for a sorbet! We only ordered wine by the glass, but each choice met expectations precisely. All in all, a splendid occasion.”
“Levain Bakery's cookies are absolutely Fantastic! I have ordered twice so far and sent another order as a gift. The cookies are delivered fresh, visually accurate as far as size and shape and the taste outstanding! I ordered from another company and the cookies that came looked nothing like the advertisement and didn't taste that great. The cookies have just the right texture, not over or under cooked and are consistant in quality and taste. This will be my go to cookie company when I don't feel like baking myself.”
“My husband and I have been to the Odyssey several times, and this weekend, we brought our family to celebrate his birthday. I was delighted that we were seated in Macy’s area, and I have to say, she was an absolutely wonderful and charming waitress. She made sure we were all well taken care of and went out of her way to make the evening feel special. Thank you so much for making our dinner so memorable, Macy—you are the best!”
“Pijja Palace is one of my go-to spots for a unique fusion of Indian and Italian flavors. While I recently opted for takeaway, I've dined there before and it never disappoints! Their malai rigatoni is an absolute favorite—creamy, flavorful, and the perfect blend of both cuisines. The menu is filled with interesting dishes that highlight this fusion concept, and the food always feels fresh and well-prepared. Whether you dine in or take it to-go, the quality and creativity really stand out. Highly recommend if you're in the mood for something different and delicious!”

“The store opens at 11 AM on Saturdays, and by that time, there were already plenty of people waiting outside. The value for money is outstanding, and the food tastes just like home-cooked meals. We ordered four dishes and three servings of rice for under $30. The entire process is fast, convenient, and eco-friendly. If you're not in the mood to cook but still want delicious Chinese food, this is the perfect place to go. Highly recommended!”
“Great new restaurant with a really unique menu of dishes! The restaurant has a cool value that is relatively casual, but the food was truly top-notch quality. In particular, we absolutely loved:
- Caprese salad
- Deer tartare
- Hello Satan pizza
- Boar meatballs
- frozen soft cream (dessert)
The servers were also extremely kind and helpful. Overall an excellent experience - excited to go back!!”
“Finally a Japanese Wagyu All You Can Eat BBQ spot in little tokyo! Super excited to have this here! When I dined here, the staff were very friendly and helpful! The dishes came quickly! Excited to come again with my Chubby Club pass! Get that membership for $20 discount for party of 2!”
“That’s fantastic place. It’s very modern types of ramen which is a bit different with other any ramen shops in LA.
It’s greater depth of chicken flavor with truffle oil.
If you want to eat the authentic ramen like what we can eat in Japan, you must try.”
“Found this place from some searching on google maps and it exceeded expectations! Great drinks (we got a marg and a beer and tried the cider—which was great), best food that you’ll have at a sports bar (sports bar/gastro pub combo that’s family owned and operated) and amazing ambience. The TVs all around made for easy viewing at any seat and blended nicely into the beautiful interior. Hospitality also hit the spot with the genuine, friendly owners! Plus, make no mistake, this place isn’t just for dedicated soccer fans, they show NFL, baseball, some fights, etc. ?”
“Bungraze, nestled in Japanese Village within Little Tokyo, Los Angeles, offers a memorable experience for burger enthusiasts. I had the OMG Burger, a towering creation with two char-grilled 100% grass-fed beef patties, layered with BunGrazer Spread, PepperJack Cheese, fresh lettuce, tomato, pickles, and jalapeño slices. The addition of caramelized and diced onions, roasted garlic, mushrooms, and garlic aioli, all topped with crispy onion rings, made this burger an explosion of flavors. Each bite delivered a burst of freshness, with the high-quality beef standing out as a true star. The flatbread, made from scratch, provided a unique and delicious twist to the traditional bun.
Complementing the burger, the fries were crispy and well-seasoned, a perfect side to this hearty meal.
Bungraze offers a laid-back ambiance with both outdoor and indoor seating options. The barstool area with a counter adds to the casual dining vibe. Ordering is done through a kiosk, allowing for easy customization of your burger. Though the menu is concise, it’s packed with diverse and satisfying options. This spot is a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy a high-quality, flavorful burger in a relaxed setting.”
“The renowned camel matcha latte only comes in about a tiny 8oz cup It’s delicious but I don’t think I’ll pay $6.25 again for that.
The coffee shop is cute. Definitely more of a “to-go” vibe or “hangout” vibe as there aren’t too many available comfortable seating for working on a laptop.”
“Excellent food and service to match. Kebab, falafel, and grilled branzino were real standouts on par or better than anything in Los Angeles. Will be back for sure, especially considering the very reasonable price point. Fantastic restaurant all around”
“First come first serve! I love this place bc they have a set price of $21.95+ tax. The MOST AFFORDABLE KBBQ and as a college student, i love this! Only thing u have to pay for is steamed egg which is $1.99 or drinks. Water is free. I had the iced tea and thai tea to go and both were really good. Meat is good quality- I don’t like the intestines or premium brisket bc they were very chewy. I highly recommend the pork belly and beef belly, they were soooo good and easy to eat. Also a bit fatty LOL. Anyways COME HERE!!!
I loveeee the servers, the hispanic servers are especially cheerful and funny! Even tho we have a language barrier, they are always so fun.”
“The experience at this Italian restaurant was nothing short of exceptional. The staff was amazing, with a special mention to Camilla, who truly made the evening memorable with her attentive and warm service. The food was incredibly authentic, delivering the rich and genuine flavors of Italy with every dish. Highly recommended! Grazie mille a tutti per portare un piccolo pezzo di Italia in Santa Monica.”
“Had a great dining experience at Civico. The staff was really nice and friendly, and the food quality was top-notch. Pasta was super fresh and they have the best tiramisu!”
“Beautiful restaurant and design. It’s spotless and very pleasing to the eye!
Now for the food… The ramen is just your average ramen, you can get it anywhere. The chicken rice bowl lack luster. Dry chicken with an off-putting mild sweet taste. Had to just dump my rice bowl into the left over ramen soup. The chicken bun was exactly the same, dry but soggy?
Wouldn’t eat here again but appreciate the beautiful art and atmosphere.”
“I’ve become a regular… I love the atmosphere, the quality of the food, and the welcoming service… I love dipping the bread in the clam jus, steak frites is comforting and the rice dish is on point. Good wine to accompany it all under the stars or indoors, with great music in the background. You easily forget where you were before you entered the nicely curated space.”
“We had a fabulous night. Food was amazing and service is top notch!”
