Khamid

What an incredible place! Food is amazing, service is fast, place itself is full of history and character. Parking can be tough especially at lunch time. Absolutely worth a visit. Prices are great, food is delicious.

Bessie

Our dear friend introduced us to this gem and we couldn't be happier. Went twice in the past month. First of all, it's BYOB with no corkage fee. You bring your own wine, beer, and liquor - as many as you want. The food is fantastic and the

Giovanna

This is the sandwich shop of all sandwich shops. The food is great the atmosphere is causal fun. The customer service is great. They have a ton of options for everyone to pick something from. They have a plethora of side dishes to choose

KIMBERLY

I don't know what else can be said about this place I love this place I've been going here since I was born. My parents went there my grandparents went there it's a staple in my life. Great sandwiches great sauce great chili great macaroni

Alaric

I will gladly return and try anything on the menu!I'm always on the look out for new and interesting flavors and Little Sister has it! For example, we ordered a beef tips with rice dish, beef was amazing,

Teresa

I just went recently for brunch after 3 years or not dining at Little Sister and it just left me wondering why this is not one of my most frequented spots. I HIGHLY recommend asking for outside seating, preferably on one of the tables at

punn

Great great food. Loved everything we had here. The crab congee, bun w pork and shrimp, okra. The flavors totally just explode in your mouth.Beautiful interiors and a great knowledgeable staff.

Harutik

The food is delicious but the service can be weird. I still can't understand why the food doesn't come out at the same time. They also charge you extra to cover the cost of doing business. Its super annoying. Just put the cost into the menu and don't give me an UNEXPECTED fee at the end. It doesn't feel right.

Tom

Unbelievable flavor combinations.Excellent food and great service and recommendations. If they are busy, sit at the bar and watch them prepare the salads and spring rolls. Wonderful place.

XX

Nice environment See salmon is great!!!!The cake is terrible.

Michelle

Great Japanese bar food omakase. Sake pairing went really well. Service was not bad.

Jiahui

I can imagine someone who really hates this place - most likely because of its soft point in service. But Fortune was with us last night, and we had a wonderful dining experience. First thing first, try to be seated at the counter - which

Joann

Monday's are all day happy hour and so worth it! The prices were great and they had a good selection for everything. Also in a nice area with cute shops and a couple dessert places across the street so you can walk off your dinner and get some yummy ice cream afterwards!

Theresa

My favorites are the salt and pepper fish and stir fry green beans! I can come back for that everyday. The owners are always friendly. The crew are hardworking.

Food

If the Michelin guide ever comes back to Los Angeles, this place should merit a mention. The chef owner, Brandon Hayato Go trained at Ishikawa, a Michelin 3 starred kaiseki restaurant in Tokyo and his training there in cuisine and

Miranda

I've been here twice and I like it. The Hayato is good I recommend it. Overall pretty cool place!

Jeff

Good food, a little pricey but the quality of ingredients and preparation is wonderful. Presentation is also spot on. Perfect date place. Free 2 hr parking with validation on weekdays!

Johnny

This is probably one of the best kaiseki restaurants in America right now. Go while they are still under the radar, my experience here was not unlike meals I've had at kaiseki restaurants in Tokyo and Kyoto.

Juan

This place is amazing and you should definitely treat yourself and a loved one to dinner if you can get a reservation. The place is small and their supplies are limited and reservations seem to go as quickly as spots become available, and

Leonard

This place is my number one site. Of all restaurants I know I favor it most. I always suggests to my friends to go to that place. everytime I I need a fair lunchon, this is the place that comes immediately to my head. Great and many

Jung

Came back for lunch. The little gem lettuce Caesar was nice. It comes with avocado, but the lettuce is served in big chunks--any cooking show with world class chefs state that DAMA Fashion District Restaurant & Bar

Charles

Very elegant and welcoming spot. They offer big meals and for affordable prices. I loved the menu a lot and the waiters were super welcoming and explanatory. I recommend this place.

Byron

Dama is a must try if you’re in DTLA. The chef has found an awesome way to fuse American with Latin tastes into some sensational dishes. We had the aguachile, corn, bocadillo, crispy pork shank and wrapped up dessert with some churros.

Stacey

Smart innovative menu. Enjoyed the various vegan and vegetarian options. Excited to see their menu use a lot of creative items in otherwise conventional stuff.It's a small place but well lit and well designed.Had a great time. Will be back to try some other items

Martha

Excellent! My husband and I had dinner here last night. The food was fresh, delicious, and hot! The owner was very patient, taking time to explain to us about the menu items and how the food is prepared. Service was fantastic throughout our meal. We can't wait to go back again!

Simon

Flashback to amazing mashed up fusion restaurants in Berlin. First time and won’t be the last time. Great cuisine and excellent service - the pear salad pure yum, the seafood porridge is beyond the pleasure dome and the pork with the egg is

杨宜爽

Try with DineLA and the pairing. Food is delicious. Have to try the seafood porridge.

Julia

Friendly staff who was very helpful. Ordered half and half order of regular fried/garlic bone in. Order is huge! More than enough to feed 4 people. It's essentially pieces of chicken chopped into pieces. Comes with fries automatically.Garlic was good. Regular fried has some good flavor too.

Steve

Tasting menu on 12/26 was fabulous. We also added the wagyu tartare and the roasted bone marrow... because bone marrow! Every dish was wonderful and stood out on it's own. Service was impeccable. Thanks, Orsa & Winston for a wonderful anniversary dinner.

Jad

The sushi quality is 5-stars. Fish is top notch. And for those who’ve read my other sushi restaurant review, you know I value the quality and softness of the rice in the rolls as well. The rice here is excellently made.

Erica

For a somewhat small shop, Sushi Gen offers a wonderful selection of wine and spirits. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. And there is always some new bottle of something that looks interesting enough to try.

Kathy

It's delicious. I've been going since they were set up in a parking lot on. HOLLYWOOD Blvd. The guys are nice and dedicated. So happy to see them doing so well.

Isobelle

We first ordered the Pad Thai with shrimp. 1-5 spicy levels and we chose 3 and boy that took us for a ride. I have to admit that for a level 3, that was pretty spicy. My mom and grandma couldn't eat it after a few bites because they were on fire. Be cautious about the level of spice you order!!

Sutton

I celebrated my graduation today in this gorgeous place. I am glad to say that we passed a delightful evening and the venue was definitely one of the reasons for that strong celebration. The crew collaborated in a very nice style, the

Pamela

Took my girlfriend and her mom here (2 fussy white ladies) and for once they had no complaints. Food's great - pretty sure the pastas homemade. Breads homemade. Service - top notch. Laundromat next door - very interesting. Love it. Great dessert. Highly recommend.

Kristina

It was my first time visiting this restaurant, but I already love it. I thanked you for serving dishes that really match the taste of your customers. I was so surprised when your staff served my order within 5 minutes. Very nice and perfect place for those who love Italian food! Five stars for you, guys! Very strongly recommended!

Karina

I had dinner here with my friends last week and we loved the place! A very over-looking place with good food and drinks that offered us. Their price was just right and fair, too. Their staff and servers were very accommodating and helpful as they helped us find a taxi nearby because we are new to the place. Thanks, guys!

Miriam

The foods are good, and I am satisfied with the service of the staff name Sofia and Kate, they are so accommodating and courteous at the same time. I super like their crabs and fish cooked by the chefs. Very awesome service! We will be back again on our next trip and recommend the restaurant to my friends and family.

Natasha

Maybe one of my favorite gems in this area. Home made pasta. Friendly staff and most importantly tasty food. Their service lacks at times with how quick they get water or even how quick they come to you. Besides that I would choose to go here any day of the week due to the actual taste of food.

Peter

Trying out some new Southern! Rabbit, pork, lamb, and beignets, we got the major good groups covered! They really did this place right in a slightly unconventional wedge corner lot. I forgot to take pics of the cocktails but you really should try them (the old fashioned was tad too sweet)

June

It's a good place to get drinks with friends. The atmosphere is pretty classy. I came here for a birthday so it was later at night.They only had 1 staffed at the bar so it took awhile to order. The service is good for bottle service. They're very quick and attentive to refill and take away glasses.

Dustin

Rarely surprised by restaurants these days. Color me surprised. It's rare food can be both authentic and modern. Food was absolutely tasty. I had fried catfish. Moist, sweet and awesome sauce and fried pickles. Best brussel sprouts I ever

Wayne

Lively french inspired urban eatery that offers southern fusion cuisine in a cozy location in DTLA. The cornbread and fried catfish reminded me of my grandmother's specialties, as did the mac and cheese. The duck breast was fantastic, and

Bonnie

This place is AMAZING!! I asked our server, Ricardo, what is popular for Black Cow. He recommended many things! One of them being the chilaquiles!! And his recommendation was on point!! I loved it so much, I am back to try their corn flake

Del

The best chicken I've ever had! My friend and I got the sweet sweet&spicy and green onion chicken and it tasted exactly like what I had back in Korea. This place is a must try if you haven't yet. It has become my favorite go-to chicken

Mildred

Food was great. Service was amazing. The quality and the taste tell it all. The drinks were very tasty and the coffee reminded me of being back with Grandma in Oaxaca. Tortillas are great! Give it a try and you will not regret you're stop here. Great regional food.

Ken

Everything was exceptional. The sauces were inspired, the dishes creative. Lots of fresh herbs brightened up each offering. Service is attentive and discreet.

Gwen

If six 🌟 exist then yeah they should get six. FLAVORS!!! you are in for a treat if you come. Super creative balance of extreme flavors that hit the right portion amount. It changes your stereotype of what you eat on the streets. Be

Incredible service, no complaints. Our server was so kind, attentive and informative. We all thought she was amazing. Her cocktail suggestions were on point. Everyone has a place here from the person delivering the cocktails to the person

So, not sure how I heard about this place but I have been itching to try it. Myself, my daughter, sister and my niece came here this afternoon for brunch and the food was great. Everyone enjoyed their food. The only issue I would say I had

Interesting place. Super clean and staff is very attentive. Super polite and enthusiastic about the food. The younger guy gave great recommendations and there was a skinnier fella very polite and made sure we had everything we needed. Great

Daniel

Food is delicious and creative! Presentation is great. The staff does a pretty good job. The night we were there there was a huge wedding party so I could tell they were a bit stressed. And to top it all off the desert was phenomenal. It's a bit expensive but well worth it.

Grayson

Interesting place. Super clean and staff is very attentive. Super polite and enthusiastic about the food. The younger guy gave great recommendations and there was a skinnier fella very polite and made sure we had everything we needed. Great

Ellie-Rose

Good BBQ burgers and good BBQ. Had their breakfast stuff, burgers and BBQ so far. All very good. Staff are very friendly. Sometimes there are small consistency issues like food prep time, condiments, etc., but overall they do a very good

I cannot think of anywhere in Los Angeles to go for a special celebration dinner. The ambience, the extraordinary foo, exceptional wine list and attentive service all makes for a really exquisite dining experience. Providence is flawless in

First time trying out this restaurant which I've had an eye on for some time. The aroma from the spices when passing by is what caught my attention. Food is really tasty a lot of flavor to it which I loved. The man attending us was very

We tried this Mexican restaurant, and it was all worth it. From foods down to its services, it was very phenomenal. We really enjoyed our time here because the foods are great and the services too. Truly an excellent Mexican restaurant that we will surely recommend to everyone out there. Good job, everyone! Keep it up!

WeR2VEVO

So many great things to say about Otium. I've been twice for lunch and once for brunch, and I've never had a bad experience here. I've had so many different dishes that it's hard to refer to a handful and explain just how delicious they

Edith

Best restaurant in town! Great food and a great place to dine with whether you are with friends or family members. Their service is worth sharing and very fast. And also, this place is very well-known for the quality and variety of fresh seafood served. It's an open-air place, with parking available nearby. Highly recommended!

Jean

The best restaurant when you're looking for affordable and yummy food in town. I always dine here whether it is a birthday, anniversary, or just a simple date with my partner. I always how they plate their food. The ambiance is very romantic, and at weekends they had a pianist to play for you. The place is so perfect!

Exavier

The crispiest chicken ever!! I'm particularly picky about the breeding of Korean style chicken and this place did it right! It's super crispy and the sauce sits right on it. We ordered the half soy and half sweet & spicy. They were both

Christopher

I have never had a bad meal here. Everything I have tried is excellent. It is priced reasonable and the staff is awesome. I would highly recommend a meal or all your meals here.

Love this bar! My bf surprised me on my 31st birthday here with friends and since that day I've been going here almost every weekend. I love the vibe of this place. The drinks are amazing and the bartenders are friendly. Love going there on

I was very pleased and delighted with the fact that this restaurant was the better than the others! The foods, beverages, ambiance, and staff were all wonderful and captivating. Besides, the waiter that served my order at that time was very

Really nice local spot in the middle of the city for a classy round of drinks and nibbles. Our bartender (didn't get his name but for sure will next time!) was wonderful--a true professional at his craft. Perfect cocktails, and I don't say

Amanda

Our server was excellent and friendly, knowledgeable. Would stop in again if in the area. It's a chain but pretty good - better than most. Prices very reasonable.

Wilma

My husband and I had a great time at this restaurant! The seafood paella we shared was very good. The show is very good as well. I recommend this restaurant for the food, the atmosphere, and the entertainment show. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and would go back in a heartbeat. We will definitely come back!

Ares

This spot provides fantastic service as well as delightful food. The best place around here. The food came out quickly and the rates were reasonable. Will definitely recommend this restaurant.

Rosemary

This place has such delicious food! We ordered two chicken curry dishes here with Naan and Rice, and both had great distinct flavors. The waitress was super nice and gave us complimentary drinks, on the house.

Stella

Today, I had a wonderful experience eating breakfast in this restaurant. The foods were yummy, at the same time, the drinks. Besides, their restaurant's ambiance was amazing and captivating, for it was stylish, clean, and modern. Even the waiters/waitresses were very nice and accommodating. Thank you very much. I enjoyed it!

Hodson

Service is so friendly. My plate was like a home cooked meal. I loved the taste of the chili sauce with the tofu. I also loved the dill ranch sauce we got along with the fries. I would definitely try another dish from this place. Also I would love to try the different sauces with the fries.
