    Cute rooftop in DTLA! I've attended a few pool parties here and it's always a good vibe and packed with a nice crowd of people. I think I've only been during a day party so would love to see how the space lights up in the evening as well.

    omg... the dumplings....

    I'm not sure how to describe a place like this. Batman meets Las Vegas, meets Greek rush week during an indoor Coachella. It's all the things, too many things, and not enough of some things. Wait... what was that Best Movie award for 2 years ago? "Anything, Everywhere, All at Once". There. That's Level 8. That means you'll either love it, hate it, respect it, or simply don't get it. From what I understand, Level 8 is essentially eight different themed bars and restaurants stacked together like a Vegas casino that couldn't decide on one concept. It's ambitious, chaotic, and definitely not for the faint of heart. But if you're the type who loves sensory overload, party energy, and a little bit of everything all at once, this place is basically your Disneyland. We ate at Maison Kasai, their teppanyaki restaurant, and I have to admit, it's one of the better teppanyaki experiences I've had, and I've traveled quite a bit for this style of dining. Teppanyaki itself is simple, so the magic is always in the details: service, timing, and the unexpected touches. For example, we were treated to a magic show before dinner (probably buying the kitchen some prep time). It was clever, fun, and actually set the tone nicely. The rest of the evening followed suit: fire flair, great service, and well-executed food. The pumpkin miso soup appetizer in particular felt like something with a Michelin-level touch. Really impressive. After dinner, things go... full Level 8. There was a wrestling match, an outdoor pool area, a speakeasy that was anything but quiet, and so many people moving around it felt like intermission at a Billie Eilish concert. If you enjoy high-energy chaos and a party atmosphere, this place is absolutely for you. I'll probably come back at least once more--if nothing else, just to show my kids the spectacle. After that, I'll happily step aside and let the next wave of party people take over.

    Very nice venue. Beautiful pools, cabanas, views. Needs help keeping food orders rolling. I was invited to a social event at this location with "LA Girl Code." It was advertised that in exchange for sharing feedback on the venue, we'd get to take photos on the roof and also get food. After waiting several hours, the "food" came in the form of ONE guacamole dip dish and a handful of tacos for over 30 women. It was laughable. It put a bad taste in my mouth for sure, however there may have been a disconnect with the venue and the group promoter. Not sure which one, but most of the girls left hungry and cranky. You just can't have that many people out getting drinks and dancing and then not deliver on the food. Because we had planned to eat, nobody ate beforehand. It may have been enhanced by the fact that there was another event going on, but either way, they should've been able to handle the orders at that capacity, otherwise don't allow that many people into a space. Again, it's a gorgeous venue. Hopefully you'll have a different experience under different circumstances.

    This is such a cute bar on the eighth level! I went there for an event called LPN and the place was decorated so cute! They had a lot of cute photo ops and s'mores for free! They have a DJ where they play all kinds of music. I ordered the mini burger sliders, which were delicious! They had the most perfect flavor and were cooked too perfect perfection! Even though the place was packed, the bartenders were fast and very friendly!

    We attended the Chinese New Year event on Feb 26 that was advertised as "all you can eat and all you can drink." Unfortunately, this turned out to be one of the most disappointing dining experiences we've ever had. Our group had 10 people and spent about $1,600, expecting a festive event with good food and drinks. Instead, the entire night was basically spent standing in lines and waiting for food that barely came out. The restaurant clearly oversold the event without having the capacity to serve the crowd. Examples from the night: * The lobster station was cooking only about 8 lobsters at a time, while 20+ people were waiting. * The sushi station had around 50 people in line, with a single sushi chef making less than one roll per minute. * Food trays were constantly empty and took a long time to refill. After hours of waiting, each person in our group ended up with only about two drinks, three very small sushi rolls, and a small scoop of fried rice. That was essentially the entire "all you can eat" experience. For $160 per person, this felt extremely misleading. When a restaurant promotes an unlimited food and drink event, customers reasonably expect that the restaurant has the staffing, food preparation, and logistics to actually deliver it. Instead, it felt like the event was massively oversold with insufficient food and staff, leaving many guests waiting in long lines most of the night. Paying $160 and leaving still hungry and barely having had anything to drink is unacceptable. This event was poorly planned and very disappointing. I would strongly recommend thinking twice before attending similar events here.

    This is a nice small casual spot to watch a game and drink some beer. We came in just for a beer and it seemed ok. It's actually right next to the market Whole Foods.

    My girlfriends and I visited on November 30, 2025 for the Wonderland Immersive Igloo Experience. The bartenders were great and the atmosphere was nice; however, the food fell short. I ordered the tacos, and the meat lacked flavor even with the salsa. My girlfriends ordered the sliders, and their food also lacked flavor.

    This place was really interesting. I have to say the ambiance was cool but the drinks were ridiculous. I ordered a Diet Coke and an amaretto sour and it was $30.00 without tip. Everyone was nice, but it was a bit weird to see so many people in their 30s, 40s and 50s dressed up to go clubbing. I think it's worth a trip to see all the different rooms, from burlesque, to Hookah lounge, to rooftop patio with winter vibes, to Taco Truck overlooking the LA skyline. This is definitely a hit spot for someone and I heard folks talking about how good the food was at certain rooms, but ultimately not for us. Stars for friendliness of staff amazing views and uniqueness of venue.

    COMING HERE, is like going to multiple food spots / bars in one night. I highly recommend y'all come here. My fave spot is GOLDEN HOUR , There's a pool there the view is epic and the bar is all the aesthetics with MOVEMENT !!! I just tried drinks and some snacks here, so can't say more about dine in service. For me the bartenders and food truck service was okay, quick , and a lot of waiting at the food truck ... but it was worth it. I got LAVA COLADA AND MAI TAI. I Think for $22 the lava colada was worth it , because of the vibe and view. I've paid more for less of a view and a drink that's not as yummy . The fries was $8 by the food truck, and I got the corn in cup there too which I really enjoyed !:) THE MR WANDERLUST ROOM, with live piano was so good! They have drinks that light on fire, RICO SUAVE $23 Tres Generaciones Reposado Tequila, Ancho Reyes, Pineapple, Cinnamon, Ginger, Citrus... IT's not as tasty imo as the lava colada but worth the show ! 10/10 experience overall. Definitely one of the places you should checkout for fun , with friends or date night ! Oh the lady playing with fire was epic , she showed up by the pool area at night.

    Amazing service and experience you get to watch your chef cook the food right before your eyes! My server Casandra was very quick and helpful.

    Beautiful, atmospheric place that feels perfect for a relaxed evening. The lighting, open space, and pool area create a really stylish yet cozy vibe, especially at night. The bar is a highlight -- cocktails are well balanced, creative, and thoughtfully presented. You can tell the bartenders know what they're doing, not just mixing something sweet and calling it a day. Food was genuinely impressive. The meat was cooked perfectly -- tender, juicy, and full of flavor. Portions were solid, and the dishes felt clean and well thought out without being overcomplicated. Service was calm and attentive without being intrusive, which made the experience even better. Overall, everything felt intentional and high quality. Great spot for a date, a night with friends, or just a place to unwind. Would definitely come back. P.S. I had the meat dish inside the main dining area, not on the terrace. I'm not 100% sure if it's the same bar area, but the food was absolutely delicious.

It's conveniently located to the LA Convention Center, Crytpo.com arena, and LA Live which makes it a must visit before or after an event! I am obsessed with their happy hour, which offers healthy items at discounted prices with generous portions! I have been here so many times throughout the years but most recently found myself here during a busy World Cup match! Regardless, the service and quality of food was not sacrificed! I was greeted as soon as I got there and the bartenders were overwhelmed but still friendly and helpful. I was so tempted to get a margarita, since theirs are amazing, but decided to keep it dry and just get their vegan nachos. I was able to score a table outside on their lovely patio, which felt secluded enough from the main street. My food was brought out quicker than I thought and I was delighted, as I was famished! The vegan nachos here are fantastic and the happy price is only $10, which is a steal for what you get! They are costed in the most magical concoction of a bean puree, cashew cheese sauce, and guacamole which all have the most creamy, luscious and savory flavors. It's so hearty and well seasoned and not only filling, but you feel great after. Parking is pretty easy, as there are usually ample meters available nearby. I cannot wait to return again soon the next time I'm in Downtown LA! I am hoping to try more of their vegan options and next time I will for sure get a drink to go along with their delicious food!

I ended up paying it(because they leave you no choice), but my biggest issue isn't the amount itself. It's that there was no clear notice beforehand. If a restaurant automatically adds gratuity or service charge, especially for a single diner, that should be clearly disclosed before you order or at least be prominently stated in the beginning. A 20% tip should reflect exceptional service. That wasn't the experience I had. The lack of transparency left a bad impression and felt dishonest.

This past visit I came with a large group and was still seated immediately. I didn't realize just how large it is inside, as I usually am towards the front or on the small front patio. ANYWAY The Korean wings were very good but admittedly could have been a bit spicier. The loaded fries had a bit too much melty cheese on top that oversaturated the other ingredients. The chicken quesadilla was I enjoyed but was a little basic. Last time I was here before this I had a chicken tikka quesadilla which I think was a more inventive dish that is certainly more memorable than this one. Small critiques but I do very much enjoy District and will one day come not just for happy hour. The cocktail of the day is usually good!

You have been warned the ceviche tostada has a kick but squirt some lime on it if you need to and you will survive. As for the guacamole, it's guacamole - need I say more? For my entree I went with the snapper, which came with escabeche, lime, pineapple, cilantro, green onion, and chili rub. In the past, I've strictly stuck to their small plates and I feel that's still the way to go. Nothing wrong with my snapper, I just love all the other little plates more. I went with one other person and only one piece of cheesecake came out. Supposedly it was a bigger slice but looked like an average size to me. This cheesecake is made with manchego cheese so don't expect an overly sweet treat. I did enjoy it. But, I also ordered their flan that is only available in August and I found that to be better than the cheesecake. Get both as one is limited edition. We also got the fried chicken tacos. We were told they were pretty spicy but I felt the ceviche was spicier. They were tasty but did not live up to their oxtail tacos they used to have. Also, squirt some lime on these tacos - you're welcome. This is one of my fave places to dine during peak weather season. Go check them out. Tip: street parking is available if you get there at 5 otherwise valet is $15. Trust, you do not want to park your car anywhere other than that one block where the restaurant is located.

Now, I'll probably be a regular. Parking is going to be challenging. There's street parking and something that resembles a parking lot around back but I'll just say - if you know the area, have fun and good luck. Sat at the bar so service was excellent. Friendly. Attentive but not in a hovering sort of way. There's only so far to walk behind the bar so looking at the levels of drinks isn't really a stretch. There's other seating too - tables and booths. Music playing - not so loud you can't hear others in your party talking. A TV was on, but I don't recall if there was more than one - mentioning it in case you're thinking of going to watch sporting events. And food is served. See pics. It's not gourmet but definitely great as bar food. I inhaled the pepperoni fries and the tacos weren't bad as well. But I was there for drinks and I love the two for one special. And that it's every day. That's pretty much what I'll be back for as it's close to work, service was great and the vibe was cool. Not to mention, there's a few pours of whiskey I don't mind whetting my palette with.
