Solid spot for some Hawaiian food in the area. I had the…read moreBBQ & Katsu plate. The bbq beef was tasty and tender, and the bbq chicken was pretty flavorful too. There were a couple of small tough spots in the chicken katsu, where it was maybe a little overcooked, but otherwise good stuff! I think my local NoHo ono Hawaiian might do the katsu a little better. The restaurant is a little cozy and it feels more focused on takeaway. I think we were one of the only groups of dine in people... Service was easygoing and helpful. The parking lot is small and can be a bit of a headache if it's a busy time, so be prepared to go hunting for a spot. Cute holiday decor :)

Still a lot of good food at a great value. Came on a busy Friday night. It had been maybe a year…read moresince my last visit, as the last time the chicken was rubbery. Chicken is great again, as the service. The beef is very sweet, like bulgogi, but lean. Four sides to a combo, you can decide what. Instead of two scoops of rice I got two of their amazing macaroni salad. Clean bathroom. Note: the underground parking elevator is broken, with no signs of the frayed button wires being replaced.

Decent amount of vegetarian/vegan options. My partner and I got the eggplant chili (2x), miso mushroom, and the pickled wasabi and pickled konbu. They smells amazing when fresh. The struggle is you want to eat it immediately before the seaweed goes soggy but need to find a place to eat. These were $4.50 or $4.75 each. Pretty good sized with plenty of filling. A great snack or lunch if you eat multiple.

Came in and the service was not friendly or helpful. My friend had a question regarding the menu and asked for clarification on one of the ingredients he never heard of and the employees didn't answer his question and just stared at us. We both felt uncomfortable until someone finally decided to give us a very vague answer. Besides that though, the food was yummy and still enjoyed the miso beef and ebi mayo! I just wish there was a little bit more filling.

Why not sample the menu in all of its glory, as well as order a little something, each of us like?! After all, it was my first time dining here! Though all of us enjoyed the shrimp, one bowl of the shrimp was definitely enough for all of us! We didn't know the portion would be so huge! Family Affair | It was exciting having family in town to visit & I selected this restaurant for lunch! I knew that they appreciated places that were aesthetic, as well as had great food! Belles Beach House served Island Glam & memorable bites! There She Glows | She naturally glows, once you step inside, the lighting is so nice! It's such a beautiful place!

She's Belles Beach House! Each dish arriving at our table was presented in a beautiful way, flavor upon flavor with every bite, and the atmosphere was very inviting, including excellent customer service!

When we arrived, the entrance was constantly blocked by the hostess and security chatting. One staff member told me to head to the bar to order, but security then acted like I was doing something wrong. A little communication between staff would go a long way. At the bar, I was skipped twice while waiting to order. When I pointed it out, the bartender told me to "hold on" while assisting a 3rd walk up after me. I asked if we could move to an open table with table service as there were many empty for ghe hour we had already been there and was told no because they were too busy. Fair enough, but that's exactly when management should be visible, coordinating staff and helping guests. Instead, when I spoke with a manager, the response was essentially that he was focused on the bar area. Good management oversees the entire operation, especially during peak periods. I was one of 5 people in our party who spent around $100 on food and drinks (apx $500 spent in total), yet the service was a mess. If it's self-service, that's fine...but make it clear and make it work. Instead, I was skipped at the bar while ordering, staff gave conflicting directions, and there was virtually no support once we had our food. We found ourselves constantly going back and forth to the bar for drinks, utensils, soy sauce, and anything else we needed. No one checked in, and getting help from staff or management was nearly impossible. The food was decent, but the customer experience wasn't. Venice Beach is always busy. This shouldn't come as a surprise. If you're going to market yourself as part of that vibrant community, you need the operational standards to match.

My wife and I were looking for a good place to order in, but we wanted to try some thing off the…read morebeaten path. I had never had L & L, it seems like this might be a chain, but the pictures looked interesting and different. I got the barbecue plate, my wife got the Three's Company Combo, and we ordered spam musubi to split. The portions were very large, and all of the food was really tasty. I was very surprised by the spam musubi. It was the perfect handheld appetizer, and I dipped it in the barbecue sauce, which made it even better. All of the meats were cooked perfectly. They traveled pretty well also. I am not used to getting Hawaiian food delivered. I would say the one knock on L&L not being five star is the price. The combo plates are very expensive. A combination plate was $20. Now, the portion sizes are large enough that you can have some leftovers for lunch the next day, but I would have rather a more affordable combination plate.

I'm conflicted between this chain and Ono. First off, the food is amazing. At least what I ordered,…read morewhich was the teriyaki beef plate. It was tender, flavorful, and a pretty large serving. This is your typical hawaiin bbq with hawaiian music playing, license plates and surfboards on the walls, and just the hawaiian bbq ambiance. Although it was small and not a place I'd want to eat in at, it was clean. Service was alright. I could barely understand the lady behind the counter, but she seemed friendly, and the cook seemed happy, so maybe that made the food good. The BIGGEST UPSET is the PRICE. I paid just under $22 for my teriyaki beef plate. I could get the same thing at Ono Hawaiian BBQ for $13 taxes included with similar taste and portion. For the price, I'd rather get 2 plates at Ono vs 1 plate at L&L. Honestly, I probably will not be back due to pricing.

Sweetfin, Santa Monica…read more We visited for the first time and, unfortunately, don't plan to return. The bowl portions were quite small for the price, which felt above average. The staff member who took our order was not very friendly and didn't smile, which gave the impression that she was tired and doing us a favor rather than welcoming guests. For first-time visitors, a bit more patience and help with choosing would be appreciated. Service was fast, and the interior is beautiful. However, there was a strong smell inside, so we chose to sit on the terrace instead. The outdoor tables could be cleaned more often. Additionally, the tray on which our order was brought looked old and worn, and it was unpleasant to handle. Overall, the experience was not very positive.

This is in the Viceroy hotel, right as you walk in off Ocean. It is a Friday morning after I was…read moreexcused from jury duty and I just wanted a quick bite... and a beer. It is nice, classy, calm, and inviting. Service seemed to be a bit off put by me sitting down without a room, but we'll let that slide cause the food was amazing. You know when you order a breakfast burrito and you get to the end and it is 99.9% tortilla? This one wasn't that! Full of flavor with creamy avocado, crispy bacon and fluffy eggs. The salad is simple but pairs well with it, so does the Pizza Port Mango DIPA. Idk if it is enhanced Franks hot sauce, but it had a bite (mind you I cook with Thai chilis and habanero on the regular). If you are staying at the Viceroy or just in the area, for breakfast, I recommend stopping by. Aaaap... standard 20% gratuity. Good service so I was going to give it to them anyway (my actual server didn't give me any sideways look and was very friendly)... but if that erps you just FYSA

We visited for dinner this past weekend while in town as the ambiance looked great online and the…read moremenu also looked good. Upon arrival, we were informed there was no host so we could just sit wherever despite having a reservation. We had to ask for a server to take our order after a pretty long time of sitting down and he then informed us that they were out of almost all dishes (everything but a burger, pasta and salmon). I was shocked to learn that all pizzas and the majority of entrees were unavailable and we hadn't been told when calling to make the reservation or upon arrival. We were heading to the airport immediately after the dinner so we didn't have time to change the location for the dinner with friends. My boyfriend and I decided to order the burger and pasta of the limited options. I thought the burger was just ok, same as the fries and it's not an item I'd go out of my way to get again. The pasta on the other hand was very good and I'd happily eat again. All in all, the ambiance was great with the fire place seating but I wouldn't go back based on the food and service.

It was my first time here, and I'm so glad I discovered this place! The seafood was incredibly fresh, and we honestly enjoyed every dish we ordered. The highlight for me was definitely the oysters -- they were so good that I had to order a second round . Another standout was the steamed mussels in white wine and garlic sauce. The mussels were huge, juicy, and packed with flavor. I was also very impressed by the miso black cod. It came with mushrooms in a rich miso sauce that paired perfectly with rice. Everything tasted comforting and well-balanced. Our server was also very thoughtful and friendly. He split the clam chowder into four smaller portions for our group, which made it much easier to share. One thing to note: the seafood market opens early, but the restaurant itself opens at 11 AM. And if you end up loving the fish from your meal, you can actually buy the same fresh marinated fish directly from the market to take home. Such a cool concept!
