Their fried chicken sandwich is hands down one of the best I've had, it's the reason I keep coming back. Every meal I've had has been great, but that's my go-to order. Whether I'm meeting friends or grabbing a casual meal, Honor Bar never disappoints. Highly recommend if you're looking for consistently great food, excellent service, and a spot you'll want to come back to again and again.

Went to Black Sheep Burgers for lunch today. Don't be fooled by the name. They do not have any…read morelamb burgers. Although Black Sheep Burgers has a vast selection of hamburgers (they probably should have called the place Black Cow Burgers) I had a Chicken Katsu sandwich. It was very good. I liked the option of being able to decide what I wanted or didn't want on my sandwich when ordering. I don't like avocados, so I ordered my sandwich without avocados. There are also a vast number of sides to order if you are very hungry. I was tempted to order the 40's french fries, but the sandwich was enough for me. Professional eaters probably would have ordered several sides. There is a large seating area outside. I sat outside. Other than the traditional problem with eating outside (your napkin, like the answer, may blow in the wind) since Black Shep Burger gave me several napkins, it wasn't a problem.

Food was good, but overpriced and difficult to park safely…read more First off, great taste, but we were on a museum visit which brought us to the area, so we avoided usual staples in the area that are more value for the money. It's in the sawtelle area near Olympic and predominantly Japanese food spots. Service was friendly but in this economy, not a good value. The burger prices should come with fries. 70$ for 3 people was too steep for what you get

The food here was good, but they need to be more diligent with bussing the tables more quickly…read more I tried the new Mac n' cCeese as well as the Tropical Mango Shake with the Passion Fruit Popping Boba. Both were pretty good, but I have to mention I was crazy hungry and running a calorie deficit that day, so I needed some high calorie nomz to bring me back to life. The Mac n' Cheese was good. Better than average, but about a solid 4 stars. Definitely the best in a fast food tier. The Mango Shake was crazy decadent and something I would only order once in a blue moon. It's a sugar-bomb and pretty sweet. But, after not consuming enough calories the day I went, this was actually pretty gratifying. Shake Shack is always something I feel really reluctant to order once the reg, but as an occasional insult hits the spot. The service at this location was fast and friendly, but as previously mentioned, they need to bus their tables more quickly to keep up with the table turnover.

Went for DineLA lunch and had both offerings, the tonkatsu ramen with okra tofu and wagyu hamburger…read morewith waffle fries. Service was well paced with the first course arriving in a few minutes followed by the main. We didn't have high expectations for the cold tofu and okra but it was delicious and the tofu soaked up the soy based sauce and was balanced by the slight crunchiness of the okra. The waffle fries were exceptional - double fried with a curry aioli sauce. The tonkatsu and ramen were also great. The tonkatsu had a light, crispy batter and the ramen was so delicious, with the addition of corn, peas, black fungus and bamboo shoots, truly comforting. The burger was a hit, too. Juicy and flavorful. The small details here didn't go unnoticed, the unique plates, nice bamboo chopsticks and cute hippo candy plate. We chose to sit in front by the open windows since it was such a nice afternoon but the dining area further inside was welcoming, too. I've also been here outside of DineLA and it's just an overall solid experience.

Update- was really looking forward to dinner at Chubby Curry. My friends and I have patronized this…read moreplace since it opened. It was our go-to place for almost two years. We hadn't been in about 6 months and decided to drop in for dinner before a movie- Wow, has it changed- and not in a good way. There were fewer staff and they were spread thin, with not even half the tables full. The place was a little unkept. The menu is all digital- so we had some questions ordering our favorites. We got the Wagu steak with rice and curry and the breaded chicken breast. When the Wagu arrived it was unrecognizable- brown and looked over cooked - no pink. The entire dish was completely unappetizing. It was sad looking. I tried to show the server that this looked nothing like the menu photos in the front wall. He was already flustered and told me "to calm down ma'am" and that is "how it comes- we put soy sauce on it." The calm down nonsense was a real put off. My next question was, why is a restaurant putting soy sauce on perfect Wagu? None of the menu photos show soy sauce. We have never had soy sauce drenched Wagu here ever. The amount of soy sauce - if any-- is up to the guest. We all have our sodium preferences, right? I personally liked their Wagu plate as is. I tried to get the server to follow me to the front wall to show him the photo of all their Wagu dishes on their front wall and he was really not happy. Those photos were how their food always looked- fresh- colorful and delicious looking. The comparison was stunningly different- he would not hear it - and was visible upset with me. Sending this back caused quite a problem- more like an argument with the server who insisted this is how Wagu comes. It does not and I posted a review previously with photos from several visits to this once fun to eat at place. They offered to remake it and I caught the server and chef's convo. Chef was bewildered with the whole no soy sauce thing. The server came back with a small piece of Wagu in a service cup to show me what their Wagu looked like before the soy sauce bath. It was not the bright fresh pink. It was gray, like it had been prepped a couple days ago and refrigerated. Completely unacceptable and not appetizing. I told them to please not remake it. It would be a waste and please Just remove it and we'd order something else. The server was so upset with me he told me he would remove everything and not charge us at all. I felt that was unfair to the restaurant and his attitude was like don't order anything, and do not come back. My guy friend insisted that we pay and the server came back with a bill for just the chicken. I gave him cash for everything we ordered including the Wagu, and he brought me almost all the money back. I was particularly insulted by this. This was such negative energy- I did not want to touch it. I left all the money on the table and left. Message to the owner- replacing servers with digital menus does not lessen their work. it increases their time explaining what dishes are and how dishes come. You need more people because servers have more work in less time. I really felt for this server and did not feel any of this was his fault. The quality drop in food, the excess work due to digital menus, and food not matching the promises made in photos at the front wall from opening day are not your server's fault. We were expecting the same consistency and were sadly disappointed. We will not be returning.

Burgers are the perfect vehicle to go a different direction and Ban Ban is right on course with its offerings. This place was good. A word on the service. It was on point and pretty much what you would expect. BUT We watched them go out of their way when a customer who appeared to be Neurodivergent came in and ordered. They were awesome and that kid had such a smile on his face when his burger arrived. I would give this place 6 stars if yelp would let me. Grapow Smash: Typical smash burger with a perfectly cooked egg. The resulting gooey yolk was glorious and the bun did its best till its structural integrity failed with about 2/3rds yet. The Grapow added quite a bit of heat but the sweet potato fries helped to tamp that down. The only thing that kept this burger out of the top 5 was the pickle. It simply was blown out by the onslaught of richness and the burger needed a briney element to provide balance. We are in nitpicky range here with this. This burger slides into a tie at #8 in my rankings and is the highest ranked fusion burger so far. Sweet Potato Fries: Not on the rotation currently according to reviews (lets face it I am behind in my reviews) but perfectly fried, and helped tamp down some of the heat.

The patty was crispy on the outside edges and so tender and juicy on the inside. Every bite was so satisfying that you really need to take your time eating it. I also had it with the special sauce and it was equally satisfying, it was really good. I had the sweet potato fries well done, and that was another highlight of my meal! The service was on point and simple. You order on the touch screen pad and then they yell out your name. The place was clean and spacious and inviting . Nothing really special.

It gives the broth a zingy quality that's probably popular with those in the know. Chicken: Nice sizable chunks and included thigh meat (!!!) Noodles: Wide egg noodles, standard stuff Anything else: Pickles in here! Nicely cut up and if you're into that... they got it. Dill is super forward, too. Overall experience: unlike any matzo ball soup I've had. If you want a MBS that adds an extra flavorful dimension without going too heavy on the broth and salt, this is an important one to try.
