Five Stars for Kuduowl! Owner and bartender extraordinaire Amanda Colom, her business partners &…read moretheir staff have created an amazing bar that showcases creative and original drinks. There are about 6 talented bartenders who work the bar and each of them bring a unique portfolio to mixology. Let's get back to Amanda! One of my friends who was visiting from Hawaii found Amanda on social media and asked that I take her to Kuduowl to experience this unique mixology. We were greeted warmly by Amanda and she explained the concept of the bar and the drink options. All were absolutely beautifully crafted and served! Delicious! I had a drink a few years ago (Sloe Gin Ramos) and not many bartenders know how to make it, nor do they want to take the time to make it. Amanda and Chris jumped right in and made it (takes 10-15 minutes to make). It was delicious and the preparation was a show! Loved it. All bartenders, servers, and bar backs were working in unison, like an orchestra. You could tell they all enjoyed their jobs and coworkers! It made for a beautiful ambiance. The bar welcomes everyone - from old to young, from gay to straight, and a rainbow of diversity of ethnic backgrounds! This has to be my favorite bar in Southern California! Bravo Amanda & team!

You can follow Birdy on IG @badbirdy and you can also follow Kuduowl on IG. We loved her drinks alot. Food is also delicious..I personally always go for their birria tacos booooooooomblicious!!!! My bf gets the enchiladas suizas, delicous as well but the birria tacos are my fav. Service is always great but honestly we have kept going back because of Cody, he made us a whiskey sour that has been on point each time. Not only we have had great service from but also from Luis as well my bf tocayo lol

We were ordering drinks and security came to tell us we had 10min left. We were told we could finish our drinks inside but not at that table. We were confused because this is our hookah spot and come often. We spoke to the mgr and she was very professional and said it was a pilot program and our feedback will help future decision making. Will I be back? Yes. The vibe is great, music is great and hookah is the highlight.

We pointed out that there were currently people in the restaurant wearing sandals. Management told us that the rules apply after 7pm. It was currently 7:30, so they denied us entry. In the process of this convo they let a woman wearing flip flops in. When I pointed that out the security said "it is part of an outfit" - they should add that to their list of rules... Clearly they are able to make exceptions for people that look a certain way, and not for others. We had a party of 15 inside; they charged them 10 for water without mentioning to them that there is a cost. Overall, while I understand that rules are rules. It is clear that the security and management only make these rules for certain people.

My favorite nights are Thursday and Sunday for karaoke but lately they've been having actual karaoke contest on Saturday night. Last contest was $500 in prizes. Next week, $1000 in prizes. If you're secretly a rockstar now, is your chance to shine! This is not only for perfect singers. Karaoke is for everybody that has the balls to grab that microphone and sing your life. Epic is a safe place that wants you to have a good time. I absolutely love everybody that works here. The place is a total vibe! Great place to have a midweek birthday party who doesn't love a karaoke birthday party! The space is also available for private events. #5StarsEveryTime.

Except for one dude…read more I've been to a myriad of different karaoke bars throughout LA and SoCal in general and never have I been treated as poorly as I was by the dude running karaoke tonight. Let me preface by saying I believe the point of karaoke is to simply have fun and enjoy singing. But, you should also be treated with RESPECT. Whoever this dude was when I asked him if he could pitch my song up or down said he didn't have time for this and proceeded to just pick a random video off his youtube app. Honestly, singer or not, I find this to be incredibly disrespectful. You should be trying to make your clients have a good time and make them feel special. Otherwise, you're just a dude playing youtube videos off your phone. If you want good Karaoke, go to Same Ol Saloon. They'll treat you with respect.

From the moment you walk in, the whole vibe hits you--the moody, neon-lit ambiance sets the tone perfectly. It feels elevated, a little edgy, and honestly just the kind of spot you want to spend your night at. The music is curated so well. Not too loud, not too mellow--just the right balance where you can vibe, have a conversation, and still feel the energy of the room. You can tell they actually care about the experience, not just throwing a playlist together. Now let's talk about the drinks... because that's really where they shine. Every cocktail feels intentional and crafted with care. You can taste the quality immediately--nothing watered down, nothing basic. They have a really cool mix of classic cocktails and modern twists, and even the familiar drinks feel elevated. It's the kind of place where you want to try something new every round because you trust the bartenders know exactly what they're doing. Service was on point too. Friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. They took the time to explain drinks and made great recommendations, which made the whole experience even better. I came in not knowing what to expect, and left already planning my next visit. If you're in Uptown Whittier and looking for a spot with great energy, amazing cocktails, and a full vibe--The Vandalist is it. Thank me later

Definitely a 10/10 for the music alone. I asked the host for his name but I unfortunately forgot it; he was very nice and attentive. Our waiter was also friendly and attentive, and overall the service was really good. The place actually gave me nightclub vibes with all the lighting and energy. I'll definitely have to come back another time at night to get the full experience. I ordered a basic breakfast plate with pancakes, eggs, sausage, etc. My sister ordered something different and after trying hers, I kind of wished I had gone with another option because hers was really good. My meal was still good overall, but the pancakes were a bit dry, so that's probably one dish I wouldn't order again.

I'm a fan of this brand, especially the Covina location, but I have to say I felt very disrespected…read moreduring my visit yesterday. I understood that the venue was at full capacity, but it appeared that people were still being allowed in and out throughout the evening. What was particularly disappointing was the perception that certain guests--especially women with a particular appearance--seemed to be receiving preferential treatment. From where I was standing, I could hear conversations about who would be allowed in, which made the process feel inconsistent and unfair. I also observed a staff member who wears glasses behaving in a way that appeared inappropriate toward some of his coworkers. He was touching them in a manner that seemed to make them uncomfortable, which was concerning to witness as a customer. In addition, there was confusion regarding happy hour. Some employees told us there was no happy hour, while others said there was, creating unnecessary frustration and mixed expectations. Once we were finally allowed inside, the service improved significantly, and the staff serving us were much better. However, the experience leading up to that point was one of the most disappointing I've had at this location. I hope management takes these concerns seriously and works on improving communication, consistency, and professionalism. Food was good and they did honor the happy hour. I also enjoyed the dj but yall gotta do better!

I had a very disappointing experience at this lounge. I came to enjoy the night like everyone else,…read morebut the DJ clearly took issue with me because I wasn't enjoying her music. I wasn't being disruptive or disrespectful , I simply wasn't vibing with the set. From what I could see, I wasn't the only one who wasn't feeling the music either. Instead of handling things professionally, the situation escalated for no reason. The manager ended up asking me to leave, even though I had done absolutely nothing wrong. I wasn't causing a scene, bothering anyone, or breaking any rules. It felt personal and unnecessary. Guests should be able to enjoy (or not enjoy) music without being targeted or removed. Unfortunately, this experience left a bad impression, and I won't be returning
