Best costumer service variety of hookah and tobacco. The place is gorgeous. You can bring your own food. I really recommend they have a really good atmosphere and Music. thank you, Gigi.

Great service, super clean and nice vibes with good music. Hookah was great and their menu had so many options.

This place in Los Angeles is really good, especially for hookah. The hookah was smooth and enjoyable to smoke. I had a great time with a couple of my friends during my vacation to LA. One of my buddies suggested this place, so we tried it, and it turned out to be a great experience!!

My friends and I came in during a Friday night. Ambiance is great as we sat inside, but the service was great as they offered to turn on the heater if we wanted to sit outside. They also have non-alcoholic drinks like apple and pineapple juice.

This was a fantastic experience! The ambience was beautiful, although you would not expect it from the parking lot. The interior room has a lot of great blue light, the patio house has adorable porch lights! I felt safe here, I wasn't being harassed with my friends. There was a lot of space in order to have private conversations. The service was wonderful. The owner helped us pick the kind of Shisha that we wanted. Even the hookahs have their own cute little iron so the ash does not get into the Shisha. The price of a hookah is reasonable! Please note that there is a maximum of three people per hookah at 29.99. There are chips and other kinds of dry goods. I wish hummus had been available however, I don't think they have a kitchen. I will certainly be visiting again.

I've been to a lot of hookah places in LA, but Blue Lounge is awesome. The prices are very competitive and they have a lot of parking space and have huge patio area if you want to sit outside. It's a great place to relax, meet up with friends, or just enjoy your evening.

Tonight was my first time at Blue Lounge. I had learned that it recently changed ownership and was eager to check out a lounge near me, as there are very few near me in Downtown. When I pulled up to the location, I was pleased to see that there was ample parking available. Upon arriving, the location looked quite small, but as we walked in I was surprised to see how much space there was, especially the back patio! The owner was kind enough to walk us through the location, and show us around, allowed us to choose our pipes and even helped us decide on some new mixes to try out. In under 7 minutes, our hookah was brought out to us with a smile. GG was great about checking on us throughout the session, and my friend and I were both extremely happy with our bowls. We had about an hour and a half session, 2 rounds of 3 coals each on an apple on top wind cover heating device. My hookah was still smoking extremely smoothly by the time I was leaving, it could have probably lasted another 30 minutes. My friend's hookah was cooked at an hour 30, which in my opinion is the time of an average session. As someone who smokes close to 5 hookah bowls a day at home and refuses to try out new lounges, I was really grateful I went to Blue Lounge. I had my own reservations of the lounge prior to tonight because of the negative reviews I had read on here, but I truly believe that this lounge is on its way to becoming a low key hotspot. Whether you're an occasional smoker or an enthusiast, I feel that the service and quality is top tier for everyone alike. I'll definitely be back here again. Thank you for a wonderful first experience!

I was in town to meet my friends and discovered this amazing hookah lounge. As I pulled up first thing I noticed was ample of parking space. The place is huge and has a back patio which lights up like a stary night. This is one of the cool places I have visited this weekend. They have outstanding spectrum of hookah flavors and the ambiance is superb. The service I got from GG was top-notch, I believe I got my hookah at my table within 5 mins, he gave some amazing mixes and flavor recommendations such an altruistic personality. I would highly recommend this place if you want to have some good time or you plan for a game night. I'd definitely go back to this place and highly recommended for avid smokers. I believe the new management is a game changer for this place. It's like finding a diamond.

Stella H.

It has been 3 years since my last review of this amazing place and it has only become better under the new ownership of GG. I have been a regular ever since the lounge opened and one thing I can say is that service is even more superb than before. They have the best hookahs and customer service in LA. My friends and I hang out here all the time. Great place to smoke, socialize, chill and even celebrate.

I stumbled on LA Hookah Lounfe thanks to Yelp, and at first I wasn't totally sure if I should go in. Pulling up it gave major "are we sure this is open?" vibes. The outside is super dark and from the car I was questioning if I should even try it. But once I opened the door total surprise. It was completely safe inside and had a laid-back, cozy vibe that caught me off guard in the best way. When we got there, there were only a couple of other tables but it started to fill up slowly after. Still, the place never felt too packed or overwhelming. Just chill vibes and low-key energy perfect for relaxing. They do have board games, which I thought was cool but they're kept locked up so you have to go ask the staff to access them. A tiny inconvenience but not a dealbreaker. Honestly, it would've been nice if they were just out and ready to grab but I get it. Now let's talk about the hookah I now consider myself a hookah amateur, I was surprised by the amount of options they had. There were so many flavors I'd never heard of, plus different types of setups. One of them was themed after cartoon characters like Labubu or ziMomo (I forget the exact name but it was so fun and random in the best way). I had no idea hookah came in such creative setups! Service was fine no complaints. They were helpful when we asked about the hookah types and got us set up quickly. All in all this is definitely one of those hidden gems you'd probably never walk into unless you knew it was there. But I'm so glad I did. It's not flashy or fancy, but it's the kind of spot that makes you want to stay for hours and unwind. I'll definitely be back. read more

10/10. A friend and I were cruising the town and wanted to smoke hookah. We literally, googled "hookah near me" & this place popped up. The host was amazing, very tentative and friendly. They have games inside and quite a bit of flavors to choose from. Lastly , there is a patio with heaters! I'll def be returning! P.S. the music is good and the parking is solid too!! If you're in the area, please stop by and show them some love read more

I love going to a lounge where the owner is genuinely passionate about the customer experience, and LA Hookah is exactly that! GG is an amazing owner, always so welcoming to me and my friends, and he consistently goes above and beyond when creating mixes for us. They have a huge selection of flavors and the pipe selection is top-tier (nothing beats a Regal Hookah!). And one of my favorite parts: parking is always so easy. There's unlimited parking directly in the front, which makes the whole experience even better. It's the perfect spot to come with a good group of friends, relax, smoke, and hang out. Can't wait to go back soon! read more

Gaurav (GG) the new owner is great! Amazing customer service and the widest selection of tobacco I've seen in any hookah lounge! The lounge is open late hours and has been a great place to get work done or relax after a long day (the WiFi speeds are great). GG is very flexible with the music selection and is amenable to whatever genre you're in the mood for. As an Armenian, I know my hookah and this place is the best hookah lounge in all of LA. I highly recommend Blue Lounge to everyone (from beginners to experienced smokers.) The lounge has both an inside and outside area, so regardless of weather, there's somewhere to sit. What's really refreshing is that the owner is really receptive to feedback and suggestions, which is really rare nowadays in any business, let alone a hookah lounge. 10/10.

The DJ on the main floor, however, didn't seem to be mixing much and mostly replayed the same songs after about 30 minutes. The service was spectacular. We ordered three bottles, which came with a pitcher of juice and four hookahs. You could choose to add mint flavor to the hookah or leave it out, though it still had a slight hint of mint even without it. Everyone also ordered individual drinks, which were about $25 each, and the wine bottle was $85. Anything we needed was brought to us quickly. We didn't get the private belly dancers, I guess they didn't come to work. Overall, it was a great experience and I would definitely come back again for a special event.

I told him that's ridiculous and he made his security guard escort me outside.

From the moment you walk in, you're greeted not just with warm lighting and a relaxed atmosphere, but by a team that truly understands what customer service should feel like. What really separates this lounge from the rest is the incredible service. The staff is attentive without being intrusive, always just a glance away and quick to refresh coals or check in to make sure everything is perfect. You can tell they take real pride in what they do. Orders come quickly, the hookahs are prepared to perfection, and every detail--from flavor recommendations to making sure your seating is comfortable--is handled with care. Whether you're a regular or a first-time guest, you're treated with the same VIP-level attention. The staff here isn't just friendly--they're passionate. They know their flavors, they understand how to mix for the perfect pull, and they genuinely want you to enjoy your time. No question is too small, and they're happy to explain or customize your session. You're not just another customer here--you're a guest. There's no rushed vibe, no cutting corners, just pure hospitality. What really elevates the vibe here is the presence of the owner. You can feel it in the culture of the place--someone who cares deeply has built something special. The owner is often around, chatting with guests, checking on service, and making sure the energy of the lounge stays top-tier. It's rare to find a business where leadership is so clearly involved in the day-to-day experience, and it makes all the difference. It's not just a hookah lounge--it feels like a home away from home, curated by someone who gets it. Add in smooth music, cozy seating, clean interiors, and beautifully presented hookahs, and you've got a place that doesn't just serve you--it hosts you. Whether you're unwinding after a long day, celebrating with friends, or just enjoying a quiet solo smoke, this lounge is the kind of place you'll keep coming back to. It's rare to find a hookah lounge that balances ambiance, flavor quality, and outstanding service so flawlessly. This isn't just a place to smoke--it's a place to connect, relax, and be treated like someone who matters. Highly recommend. 10/10 experience every time.

Sunset Rooftop

Cute Spot with Great Staff but Different Vibes Day vs. Late Night…read more Ambiance and Setup This place is super cute and has a really nice patio style "rooftop" area (technically the second floor). The decor is fun and aesthetic, and it's a great spot for brunch, drinks, or hookah. You do have to walk up about two short flights of stairs to get there. I didn't see an elevator, so that's something to keep in mind. Parking There is shared parking downstairs with the other businesses in the building. During the day it can get pretty full, but when we came late at night there was plenty of parking available. Food and Drinks On our recent visit we ordered the nachos and added protein, and they were really good...flavorful and filling. I've also been here before for breakfast/brunch a couple years ago and the food was great then too. The mimosas were really good, and overall the brunch experience was wonderful. They also offer drinks and hookah, which is one of the reasons we wanted to come back at night. Games One thing I thought was really cool is that they provide some games for guests to play. We didn't end up using them, but it's a fun little touch that adds to the experience. Brunch / Breakfast Experience (5 Stars) When I came during the morning for breakfast and mimosas, the atmosphere was relaxed, cute, and really enjoyable. The staff was friendly and everything felt calm and welcoming. It was honestly a great brunch spot and I would absolutely recommend it for daytime visits. Late Night Experience (3 Stars) We came back late at night around 2 a.m. for food. While the staff and food were still great, the overall energy was very different from the daytime experience. The late night crowd was louder and higher energy, and some of the guests were a bit unfriendly, which made the atmosphere feel a little less comfortable for us personally. This isn't really the restaurant's fault, but it did change the vibe compared to the relaxed brunch visit I had before. Hookah Policy They do have a hookah minimum policy. For example, tables of three must order one hookah, tables of five must order two, and so on. If guests choose not to order hookah, there is a required minimum spend or a small fee per person. Just something to be aware of before going. Service Charge There is an 18% service charge added, so keep that in mind when budgeting. Service The hostess and waitress were both very friendly and attentive. Even when things got busy, they stayed calm and professional, which we really appreciated. Overall Still a really cute place with great service and good food. I'd personally recommend coming earlier in the evening or during brunch hours if you're looking for a more relaxed atmosphere. I'd definitely return during the daytime again.

I reaaallllllyyyyy wanted to have a good experience here…read more I came here for brunch last year and didn't write a review bc my experience was not too great and I decided to give it a try during the evening when they have events. Well, I brought 2 friends. It was their first time there. Karaoke and a DJ. I called ahead to ask if they had a DJ this night and if we had to make a reservation. The person who answered the phone said "no reservations . Just come." So, we did. After we found parking, the wait was not too long and the security guard had an entertaining personality. (So, that's why I added a star.) Now look...the food and customer service were awful. Just so awful that I am literally taking time to detail every single thing. I ordered a Philly with only meat, cheese, and bread. I just said "I'd like it super plain. Just plain." I specifically asked what comes on it and said "I'd like none of that. Just the meat, cheese and bread. None of the peppers, onions, and mushrooms." The waiter laughed and so did my party. So, it was actually discussed, but in a humorous way. All good, I don't mind them laughing at my order. Also, I asked for truffle fries. The waiter said "there is a $3 up charge." I said "cool." I also asked for Long Island with pineapple juice instead of Coca Cola. My friend ordered catfish. (It arrived waaaayyyyy after everyone else's food) The third person in our party ordered wings. She also ordered truffle fries while we waited on our food. (Those came after all the food. Smh) Oh and our drinks came way after the food as well. The Long Island arrived. It was dark. So, I immediately asked "this has pineapple juice instead of Coca Cola right?" He said "yes." When he walked away. My first sip was almost completely coca cola. My first bite of the Philly was a mound of mushrooms and onions. There is a photo below after he took the Philly bc I said I'll keep the fries. You can see a piece of pepper leftover. My fries never came truffled either. The entire order was messed incorrect. There is more, but I'll just stop here. Horrible experience. The karaoke was entertaining. We all sang, but we were hungry. My friends didn't eat their food batter the waiter left it at the bar for 10 minutes while people breathed all over it. That right there was crazy. So...yea it wasn't a good experience at all. The waiter was a sweet guy, but I was hungry and didn't end up eating anything, but French fries.

A few weeks ago, I tried a sample of a Venison burger at Sprouts and it was pretty amazing. I felt…read morethat I needed to try this here as well. My friend just flew in for a day because his relative had forgot her passport and needed to travel to Korea, so we stopped here. He missed a few meetings, a vet appointment and other things, but also saved the day, otherwise his relative wouldn't have been able to make it to Korea. While here, they ordered a salad with cherries and pecans that was pretty amazing. I think that may have been one of the better salads I've eaten. In addition to that, a cucumber burrata salad was ordered, and that was made well too. When my venison burger arrived, I took a few bites and it had the exact flavor I was hoping for and I thought the burger was done extremely well. My friend also ordered a pork chop, and it was an amazing cut, cooked perfectly, tender, juicy and everything you could ever want in a bone in pork chop. They also cut the entire piece for you and scraped every last bit off of the bone too. The service is really attentive. They come by your table a lot to ensure you have everything you need. The ambiance is a bit dim in lighting which sets a nice mood. And the place just happens to be dog friendly too. Sorry for the lack of photos, but I didn't wanna intrude on everyone else's meals. However, if you come here, definitely try the salad with cherries and the venison burger or the pork chop!

Fixins Soul Kitchen

Was my first time here Friday brunch-ish. I had the fried chicken with two "fixins"…read more The fried chicken was delicious (just a delicate hint of 'hot' spice) and fried to juicy perfection. The coleslaw was tasty and crisp and the cornbread, soft and warm with a hint of spicy sweet flavor-- served with a whipped, slightly spicy-sweet flavored butter. The potato salad was ordinary. But 3 outta four exceptionally delicious ain't bad. I always feel I'm being particular but I always ask for one cup of Diet Coke with ice, one cup of water with ice, and one cup with just ice. My request was met with a smile. and our waitress monitored my classes for a quick refill when I was ready for it. Very friendly and professional service!

I had previously tried Fixins Soul Kitchen as part of a company luncheon and enjoyed it so much…read morethat I convinced my family to come with me because I wanted them to experience how great it was. Unfortunately, after our experience on the holiday evening, it may be a while before I give it another chance. First, I want to say that every staff member we encountered was genuinely pleasant. Our server was kind, apologetic, and clearly doing her best. The problem wasn't the attitude of the staff, it was that the restaurant was completely overwhelmed and simply not prepared for the holiday rush. Not ready at all. We were seated at 9:04 PM and didn't place our order until around 9:20 PM because it took that long just to get drink orders taken. Wanting to avoid any further delays, we ordered everything at once. Our meals arrived around 9:42 PM, which seemed reasonable, except my daughter's meal never came out. We informed our server and were repeatedly told it was "on the way." Fifteen minutes later, still nothing. We began sharing our food with our daughter so she could eat with us. We asked again and again, receiving apologies each time, but no meal. By 10:25 PM--more than an hour after ordering--my daughter's plate finally arrived. By then everyone else had already finished eating and were simply waiting while she rushed to eat alone. Thinking we were finally nearing the end, I requested our bill and ordered two slices of red velvet cake to go. Surely that wouldn't take long. Wrong again. While waiting, another large table from the East Coast asked to speak with a manager and described their own frustrating experience with delayed orders and lack of assistance. When the manager returned, I simply asked if we could please get our two slices of cake so we could leave. He apologized and went to retrieve them. It took 25 minutes to get 2 slices of cake and possibly longer if I had not stopped the manager. We finally walked out more than two hours after being seated, having spent most of that time waiting rather than enjoying our meal. To make matters worse, going a few minutes beyond the two-hour mark triggered another hour of parking charges, making an already expensive evening even more frustrating. I feel bad because I had built this place up so much to my family, and their first experience was disappointing. I know holiday crowds can be difficult, and I truly appreciate the staff members who remained courteous throughout the night, but management seriously underestimated the demand and the customer experience suffered because of it. I hope Fixins can address these issues because I'd like to remember the restaurant for its food and hospitality and not for spending two hours mostly waiting to be served. I had to take pics of my daughter with her head down on the table waiting on her food. Happy to share them privately.

Something happened and when we arrived there was a mix up with the reservation so we ended up sitting in the bar for about 45 minutes. This place is extremely casual, think shorts, t shirts, and flip flops and you won't be out of place. Servers and bartenders all have the eagle rock/highland park grunge vibe. I went there with my wife and 2 teenage daughters. We started with the cornbread. I thought it was good (4/5) but with the amount of butter and honey anything would have been good. Wife didn't care for it, thought the buttermilk made it too sour. Just know that it's tiny. For the four of us, each had one bite. The menu for mains is pretty limited. Steak, swordfish, or porkchop. We ended up going with the steak, 2 swordfish, and then added the brown eyed peas, mashed potatoes, and then wanted to start off with the pork chile (which is really chile verde). The chile verde was the star of the night. If I ever went back, this is what I would order. Maybe it's because all the chef's are hispanic, but it was really good. They serve it with homemade tortillas and it was excellent. The steak is a large 2 pound bone in rib eye. I ordered it medium rare. It was more on the rare side, which i don't have a problem with, but the steak was a little tough. Not super tough but for $150 I definitely expected a little more "melt in your mouth" rather that fighting some pieces. Bone marrow was a nice touch. probably a 3/5. The fish was well cooked, not dry but the flavor was not amazing either. Hard to explain but the sauce was a little too sour. I like lemon on my fish but the sour almost made me think the fish was past it's prime. It wasn't, but the sauce didn't really highlight the fish. I shouldn't have ordered two and would skip this one next time. My least favorite and a 2/5 The sides were good. Mashed potatoes with garlic and butter, nothing special but good. Brown eyed peas were really just white beans. They were good, but not steal the show good. About a 3/5 For dessert we split the chocolate cake which was more like a muffin with a hazelnut whipped cream. Don't think of chocolate cake, think of it rather as a small piece of chocolate flavored loaf with no frosting or chocolate pieces. I liked it because I like things that are not very sweet but I was the only one that cared for it. Overall portions are fairly small. Between me, my wife, and two teenagers we ate everything. Total bill with tip was about $510. Pretty crazy when you think about it. Would I go back? Probably not but the ambiance was nice with the grill and real candles.

I actually talked to the couples that were on both sides of me the first visit. This 2nd visit was different but it was cool no complaints. I had my cross word puzzle with me and some work to do on my phone so I was being entertained lol. Brandy is a great bartender. She practically lives there from what she shared with me lol. She makes some really good drinks, no lie. The Carmen #6 is cool but Carmen's Cousin is much better. And I like their Old Fashioned. That chicken sandwich is also good. I had it both visits. The first time was a lot better than the 2nd time. I don't know what it was. Could've been the extra honey sauce I didn't request like before lol. All in all, it was still a good sandwich. I ate it all just like the last time lol. The prices are decent and fair during happy hour. In my opinion of course. Cocktails for $10 and so is the sandwich. Not bad to me. I love the space and ambiance. The customer service is good. Saturday, I ordered both the Carmen #6 and Carmen's Cousin. Met with the manager Sean I believe his name was. So I shared with him how I had been mistakenly overcharged for a drink I didn't have during my last visit. He did his due diligence as a general manager and got back to me soon as he could. He then came back and informed me that everything was taking care of and they'll take off one of the drinks from this visit. And they also gave me a lil discount.

The lighting is extremely dim, which isn't really my preference, but it definitely adds to the ambiance. The restaurant was packed, yet we were seated right away in a cozy corner booth. We started with an appetizer that our server recommended over the hummus, and I'm glad we took the suggestion. It had a unique flavor, and the pita bread was absolutely delicious. Be prepared to spend some money here. Dinner for two can easily run over $100 if you're ordering more than just an appetizer and salad. The food itself was interesting, with bold and unique seasonings. Some dishes leaned a little salty for my taste, and I found myself going back and forth on whether I loved them or not, but they were definitely memorable. If you're looking for a fun date-night spot or a lively place to meet up with friends, this restaurant is worth checking out. It has a great vibe and a lot of character. While it's probably not somewhere I'd visit regularly, I'm glad I gave it a try.

We came all the way from Dallas, Texas, and let me tell you we've never experienced Southern hospitality in LA like we did here. From the moment we walked in, the greeting was warm and genuine. Every staff member was respectful, inviting, and carried themselves like true gentlemen. The service was top-tier attentive without being overbearing, and the manager made us feel like VIPs. This hookah spot set the bar high smooth hookah, great vibes, and a staff that truly understands customer care. We'll definitely be back anytime we're in LA. Highly recommend! read more

By far, the best hookah lounge in LA! Beautiful indoor and outdoor seatingThe customer service was exceptional - the staff was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the different blends. Overall, I highly recommend Blue Lounge to anyone looking for a great place to smoke hookah. It's a great place to relax, meet up with friends, or just enjoy a quiet evening! read more

Stumbled upon LA Hookah Lounge one day and it's become my new favorite place! The ambiance is amazing. Place is kept clean and the owner is very friendly. Hookah is AMAZING and there's so many different places to choose from to sit. There's even a lovely patio in the back where you can chill. Always feel welcomed and I love to keep coming back! read more

I don't consume tobacco products but this spot has non tobacco hookah! They have a huge selection, the hookahs are smooth. The atmosphere is cozy and the outside is a super chill spot to hang with friends, play some games. They have blankets and heaters! 10/10. The owner super friendly and makes you feel at home. Cute spot to take a date also. read more

GG pours his heart and soul into his business and it shows! He takes the time to get to know each of his customers and creates a good recommendation for hookah and I enjoy his mixes every time. I enjoyed the Halloween party and proximity to Thai town to get late night bite before or after an amazing puff! read more

What can I say, amazing place, probably the cleanest and best place to smoke a hookah. I love the weekends when they have great events and cool music, and also love chilling on weekdays after a long day just to enjoy a lovely hookah. It's my new go to spot read more

Found this place online It was great and open late. I liked the flavors they offered and the music they played. It was reasonably priced and there a lot of people there. It was a cool environment, hip hop decor with flavors that matched. I'd go again read more

Top place! An extremely pleasant owner who will always advise what to smoke, a good atmosphere, a large assortment of tobacco and prices are simply ridiculous for such a level. read more
