“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.“
“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!“
“10/10Visiting from Vancouver and OH MY GOODNESSThe best food I’ve had in A WHILE!!!My recommendation:- gem salad Is so fresh, perfectly seasoned, amazing texture and so delicious it was the perfect appetizer!!!- tar tar was AMAZING. I recommend mixing it in the sauce before putting it onto the bread that is still warm when they bring it out to you, which is so good. The sauce is a little bit tangy and has a bit of spice, which is perfect and really brings out the taste of the tartar.- spicy Pomodoro pasta was so delicious. The sauce, pasta, and ricotta ratio was perfect.- sweetcorn agnolotti was also so delicious, it was sweet but not too sweet and it kind of pops in your mouth when you eat it and it was very tasty.- banana pudding tiramisu IS SOOOO DELICIOUSThe perfect texture, temperature and consistencyAnd it looks amazing as well. I wanted to get another one but honestly I had to refrain myself from getting two of everything.Highly recommend the food and dessert.Got the drinks too and it was good but didn’t stand out as much as everything else.“
“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.“
“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!“
“we (2 people) went to eat there on a sunday evening after 7 pm and had to wait about 1 hour - a reservation is recommended. the food and the quality is good. the waiter was courteous. i thought it was a shame that only beef and pork were offered in the combo deals. you have to order chicken and shrimps at an extra charge. i would definitely eat there again, but if you have problems with the volume in the restaurant (because of loud music) or prefer it quiet, then i can't recommend it.“
“Fusion Filipino restaurant with natural wine and Filipino beer selection. After trying many under-delivered fusion Filipino restaurants, Spoon and Pork easily takes the crowd to have the best executed fusion style dishes. We had the sinigang, grilled chicken, adobo chicken wings, pork belly, and garlic rice, and none of them disappointed.Sinigang's soup was rich and flavorful while the topping in the soup was cooked separately so they are not over cooked. The ribs came with a real nicely grilled flavored. The pork belly had crispy skin as expected and the fat to meat ratio was really good. The adobo chicken wings sauce was thick and sticky and not too salty nor sour, we kept the sauce for dipping Even after the wings were devoured.We are glad we took another chance in another fusion Filipino restaurant and we'll keep S&P on our rotation.“
“One of my favorite restaurants in LA. The food is consistently great, the bar program is creative, the service is friendly, and the vibe is chill and fun (especially on the patio and at the bar). Unlike almost all restaurants serving small plates they do not make you order everything at once or rush out the food, so meals here feel luxuriously relaxed.You can't really go wrong with the menu but in particular do not miss the boquerones y mantequilla, which is a brilliant dish.“
“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.“
“We almost drove right by the restaurant because there was no sign, but fortunately we found our way in to the cozy bungalow dining room. We ordered the turmeric fish hotpot which was full of flavor with crispy rice and soft flavor fish that was amazing. Everything else we ordered did not disappoint--the watercress salad with beef was fresh and tender, steamed rice cakes with shredded shrimp and taro root crispy rolls were unique spins on traditional dishes that were really shareable and delicious. Definitely will come back!“
“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.“
“We've come here a few times and the food and drinks are generally pretty good. Decent ambiance and looks like it was originally a house that was converted into a restaurant. Making reservations can be a bit of a process. Rarely will someone pick up the phone, but there is a way to make reservations online through their website which does require a credit card deposit and for you to sign up with this reservations app. Some items on the menu are a bit overpriced as some other reviewers mentions, but we would definitely come back.“
“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!“
“When the yearning for authentic Spanish cuisine beckons, "La Paella" emerges as a culinary beacon, brilliantly capturing the essence of Spain's rich gastronomic landscape. From the moment we stepped through the doors, the ambiance transported us back to the vibrant streets of Spain, enveloped in warmth and the tantalizing aroma of spices.The service was nothing short of exemplary, with staff members who not only knew the menu inside out but also shared their enthusiasm for the flavors and traditions of their dishes. Each recommendation was spot on, adding to the overall delightful experience.The star of the evening was undoubtedly the squid ink paella. Its bold flavors and perfectly cooked seafood were a testament to the chef's mastery. Each grain of rice was infused with the deep, oceanic essence of squid ink, creating a dish that was as visually arresting as it was delectable. Every plate brought to our table was a hit, making it a thoroughly enjoyable dining experience for the whole family."La Paella" has certainly set a high standard for Spanish cuisine outside of Spain. It's a gem worth returning to, and we are already planning our next visit to delve deeper into the menu. If you're seeking an authentic taste of Spain, this is a place you won't want to miss.“
“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! ☺️“
“Consistently the best ramen in La hands down vegan or otherwise. Rich broth, Quick Service great atmosphere. Just down the road is donut friend 5 minute walk away which is a huge Plus for dessert after a killer bowl of ramen nudes with the best King oyster mushroom“
“Very cute sushi place with a theme of their cute dog. Such a cozy spot for simple yet very intimately. They have sake to pair with sushi and also many cute merchandise. Indoor and outdoor seatings available.Highlights of the menu:1. Sashimi2. Sushi lunch box3. Roll“
“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!“
“This is such a cute and quaint wine bar. It has a nice selection of various imported wines and food pairings.I really enjoy the orange Gewürztraminer each time I come here, I highly recommend if you like something refreshing and chilled.The inside is nice but I really love their patio in the back. The staff are also quite professional and friendly. We got the artisan bread with their homemade olive oil, and it was absolutely delicious and a great pairing with our wine. I will come again !“

“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.“
“Was not expecting this great food worthy of any restaurant. The ceviche was good. The stake was amazing. The tacos were amazing, chicharon was on point ,and taco shrimp was amazing , and I was not expecting this kind of quality from a bar. O and the music were on point. First time here, and I highly “
“Recently visited my this AMAZING Thai restaurant and had an amazing experience! The flavors in every dish were so vibrant and delicious. The service was impeccable, and the ambiance was perfect for a cozy meal. I highly recommend trying the Woman's Day Special standout combo consisting of crab curry, beef curry! Oh also for appetizer, get the GARLIC CHICKEN WINGS! Shoutout to Menza, Cara and Nin for making our visit extra special. Can't wait to go back and try more dishes.“
“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 :)“
“My visit to Bar Celona tapas bar was like stepping into Spain itself. It truly was an ideal spot to indulge in authentic tapas and savor the flavors of Spain. We ordered a variety of seafood dishes, including paella, mussels, calamari, and enjoyed a refreshing sangria to complement the meal. The server at Bar Celona tapas bar was friendly and attentive. The ambiance was lively, enhanced by the presence of a DJ, creating a vibrant atmosphere perfect for a memorable dining experience.“
“Very nice ambiance. Came for dinner with family. Server was good. Ordered the cuckoo's nest to drink. It was like a refreshing cucumber juice. We ordered the Gypsy bacon pizza, paella, crispy ribs and tomahawk steak. The pizza tasted like a sandwich with the bacon, tomatoes, and pickles. The crispy ribs were really good, soft and tender. The paella came with pasta which was different but good. The sausage that came in the paella was really tasty and the shrimp was pretty big. I was getting so full once I got to the tomahawk steak but it was very juicy and great flavor.“
“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!“
“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“
“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.“
“I've been here a few times and am always pretty happy. The service is prompt, the drinks are good and alcohol forward, and the mid-lobby location is convenient and approachable. Some of the drinks are pricy, but I think that is more justifiable given the bar's prestigious location right next to the Crypto center.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“

“This place is busy and very lively vibe. The service here is excellent. I tried their Hakata Ramen + gyoza combo on this visit. I had my customized my ramen same as i would do at Ichiran. I find the ramen to be above average for me. So i was expecting to be blown away by the flavor unfortunately that was not the case. I consider their ramen to be above average, its just i had better ones. Btw the gyoza was excellent.“
“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.“
