If Julianna, Intercrew or Normandie Club closed early then bring your ass over to Bleu. They'll be open and get you your night cap promptly ... saaaa

This place was overpriced, food was under seasoned, the service was mid, vibe was ehh. Dried squid for $25? I'll pass. The flavors within the dishes were unbalanced, some flavors didn't work with each other. Some dishes flavors were either over powering or under. I will definitely not be returning and do not recommend this place to people who wants a decent meal.

Bafe Bleu should be a protected landmark. Back during the prohibition this was the first Asian speakeasy that served bootleg rice wine and dried sea rat and squid. It was. It is. And will be here for the neighborhood, all the long time regulars and the new faces that walk in on their way to becoming regulars. Cheers Ray! Thanks again

Place was not it. Bottom line. Save your money, save your hair and clothing from smelling like cigarette smoke. I'll never come back. Food was .

A nice bar that I've seen for years but never went into until recently. I wish I had gone inside way sooner. It's a pretty chill and fun spot. The service is friendly and helpful. You get a choice of sitting at the bar or a table. We usually go for the table but I imagine the bar is nice too! (I'm just shy-super shy...yes I'm poorly singing that song). I've only ordered the carne asada nachos, but let's say it's I've ordered it almost every time I've been there. So you can't go wrong with that. It can get a little loud and dark but hey that's the cool and mysterious environment they're going for. It's located in one of the best plazas in k town. Like every restaurant there is amazing. Parking is valet at night but not too expensive. There is some metered street parking but that can be a challenge. Overall, it's a great spot to relax and grab some drinks.

Service was atrocious. No one checked in. Took a while to get my bill. Highly disappointed. On top of that the veggies on my nachos did not taste fresh.

I started coming here right before Covid .Hailey & Yewon are the original ones I interacted with. There's been one other female and male when I've gone in. All great and very attentive. I've ate here a few times and it's been delicious never had a complaint. The ambiance is a chill vibe, nice music and doesn't get all loud. Whenever I'm in ktown I always try to stop in. It's always welcoming makes you feel at home when they know your name.
Server/bartender was great and very attentive, but the prices on the menus are inaccurate and charge way more than listed.

Food was very good, but we were bait and switched on menu pricing. We were given a way more expensive receipt than the pricing listed on menus when we ordered. Bill was $16 more expensive for only 3 drinks. After telling the bartender about the price discrepancy we were told the menus we received were old and not updated. That is not our fault. After disputing the charge we only received a partial refund on the price difference of one drink. It is irresponsible, bad business and possibly illegal for a restaurant to not honor its menu pricing. We were left very disappointed. Please update your menus or honor your old menu pricing.

If you're looking for a great neighborhood bar in Korean Town, Cafe Bleu is the place to go! I've been coming here for over 15 years and it never disappoints. The bartenders are excellent and friendly, making the atmosphere welcoming and cozy.The food and drink selection is fantastic. Whether you're looking for a beer or a shot, they have a great variety to choose from. The food is delicious with appetizers and entrees that will leave you satisfied. The prices are also reasonable, making it a great spot to grab a bite and a drink without breaking the bank.One thing that sets Cafe Bleu apart from other bars is the quality of people who go there. Everyone is respectful and friendly, making it an ideal spot to relax and socialize. I've never seen a fight inside, which is a testament to the respectful atmosphere that everyone cultivates.The decor is simple, with a hint of nostalgia that adds to the overall ambiance of the place. It's definitely an ideal spot for casual hangouts with friends or for a date night.In conclusion, I highly recommend Cafe Bleu to anyone looking for a great bar in Korean Town. The welcoming atmosphere, quality food and drinks, and respectful clientele make it a must-visit spot. Just grab a drink, enjoy the company of good people and the relaxing atmosphere, and have a great time.

Yewon was so welcoming and made me want to come back ! Whatever you guys are paying her is not enough! She is amazing and has very good energy. I will definitely be coming back on Fridays just to have her as a server!
