    Fried fish sandwich and nori potatoes.
    Angelique A.

    Disclaimer: the food is nice and I enjoyed it - just a little too pricey and I still left pretty hungry after spending $28. I ordered the fried fish sandwich which was fried very well and the potatoes were nice too. I would give this place a higher rating if the fish sandwich was like $12 or $13. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Vibe is casual, very clean and cute outdoor and indoor seating area where they seem to sell specialty food items like sauces and tinned fish.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I liked the food, it's just a little too expensive for me to come back when I could go somewhere else for a lunch type sandwich with a potato. I would try for yourself if you like fish sandwiches.

    EATSCON fish slider
    Kameron G.

    Was able to try the slider version of their most popular fish sandwich at EATSCON and it definitely lived up to the hype. If I ever find myself in the mood for a fish sandwich this is the place to go!

    Their "famous" fried fish sandwich that costs basically $20.....but the fish isn't cod? Flaky and crunchy, but fish tasted inferior
    Kristine J.

    Finally tried this Michelin bib gourmand spot. Food was tasty, not amazing. I think the Pacific striped bass they used for the fried fish sandwich tasted ok. Crispy, flaky, nice texture. But it was quite expensive, basically $20 for something as big as my small hand. Nori potatoes were all right too, but the garlic aioli tasted better. Though, the sauce could've been more flavorful. I think the smoked fish dip (Vermillion rockfish) had the most flavor and was actually great with the potatoes. 3 fish sandwiches, nori potatoes appetizer & fish dip cost nearly $100 which is wild! Just as another yelper mentioned, I also didn't like how one of the staff ignored us as we were waiting to order at the tiny kiosk window, until someone else showed up at the window. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Bathrooms are unavailable even at the attached market (actually, the coffee shop a few stores down also said the same, yikes). You have to cross the street to Lassen's[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Metered street parking is not great.

    As you know, I'm a coffeeholic. I'm always looking for coffee. I came across little fish on a whim. I think the name threw me off a bit, Little Fish doesn't really sound like coffee, but they have coffee! They actually have a great looking menu full of things I love. From fish sandwiches to congee to coffee. Little Fish is in Dada Market. They have an order window outside and they have lots of outdoor seating. I didn't go into the market so not sure if you can order inside and not sure if there is seating inside. There is street parking and parking in the back that you do have to pay for. I got an iced Elsinore which is a "okinawan black sugar sweetened latte with a cream top made of sour cream, condensed milk & heavy cream", and it was pretty good. My main focus during this visit was coffee, so I will definitely e coming back to try their food. It looks delish!

    There is nothing better to start off the experience than an extremely nice person who genuinely asks, "How is it going?". I have to be honest, she was so genuine and friendly, it took me by surprise! I am one of those people who feel like I shouldn't be asked to tip when it comes to counter service, but this was one time that I wanted to tip. We got to fish sandwiches and a side of potatoes. I loved the sandwich and the potatoes which came with a side of aioli. Although I thought the prices were a bit high, the quality of the food was great.

    Loved the Smoked whitefish tartine, Crispy nori potatoes, and einspenner coffee! Food was freshly prepared, and overall very delicious and satisfied. My only complaint would be the price

    Filet-O-Fishes are one of those odd items that I've always loved, likely because I didn't get to eat them that often. Little Fish has been on my list for a while, so the hype is probably what led to a further drop from 3-star to 2-star. Wasn't really busy for a late lunch on a Friday afternoon as there were still seats open, but the wait for my sandwich was longer than I thought it would be especially as they have a small lunch menu. While the fish was fried very well and tasted good, the sandwich as a whole didn't go together for all the reasons said in previous reviews that I should have read: Fish was too salty, cheese was not even melted, plenty of perfectly placed pickles of I couldn't taste them and I couldn't even taste the tartar now that I think about it. Definitely not worth the $17 price tag. They should just come out with a fish and chips option, I think that would be much better. Disappointed I didn't come early enough for the fish congee, but doubtful I'd be back.

    Little Fish outside
    Pratik B.

    Little Fish is a cute little order-window-in-the-wall in apparently hipster Echo Park. How do I know it's hipster... well the extremely expensive "convenience" store next door was a dead giveaway! We got there before a Dodgers game, and there were already Japanese tourists in line, so LF is now an international brand! I got the shrimp sausage breakfast sandwich, which disappeared in two bites! One of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had! I have no idea what that sweet sauce was, but I was licking the drippings off the table, hygiene be damned! Not the cheapest place (again, hipster), but well worth it. Seating is outdoors in front of the convenience store. I'm sure this place gets packed closer to game time. Parking is street meter only -- good luck finding a spot! I'll be back for their famous fried sandwich.

    Fried fish sandwich $17
    Bianka G.

    Finally can cross this one off my list! Stopped by for lunch and since it's a walk up window with outside seating, I brought my dog along. A lover of bananas and all things matcha, I ordered the Banana Milk Matcha and it did not disappoint. The banana flavor was subtle and overall not too sweet. I would gladly order this again. Now for the fried fish sandwich it is basically your upscale McDonald's filet o fish but way better. The sandwich looks small, but as you're eating it, it's pretty filling. The bun is soft super soft. The fry on the fish is nice and crispy and not laid on too thick. The fillet of fish itself is big in size and flaky. There's a slice of American cheese, a good amount of kewpie mayo, and plenty of pickles. Also, the amount of salt on the fish was good. Salty fish goodness! Do I like that this sandwich is $17? No. Is the sandwich good though? HELL YA!

    I tried the fried fish sandwich from Little Fish, and I must say that it's absolutely delicious. The fish was crispy, the bun was good, the vegan mayo I subbed in paired really well with the sandwich too. I also had the crispy nori potatoes as well, which I devoured so quickly that I forgot to take a photo of it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Between the phenomenal fried fish sandwich, good service from the staff, as well as a really chill ambiance sitting outside, I definitely recommend getting Little Fish's fried fish sandwich.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Mushroom congee
    Yula K.

    Delicious mushroom congee with a slightly spicy, crunchy chili oil that adds so much flavor to the already umami mixture. The crispy potatoes are just as good - flavorful and satisfyingly crunchy. The brown cheese bread was a little much but enjoyable as well. Only came for breakfast but will look forward to trying lunch and the fried fish in the future

    I got the Little Fish slider at Eeeeatscon and it was very disappointing. I've always wanted to try the real thing in Echo Park but thought I would give the slider a chance at Eeeeatscon and it took 30 to 40 minutes to come out just to have moldy bread. I bit right into it and actually swallowed some before realizing it was mold. I went back and told them and they compensated me with some olives. Take that how you will, but after trying this slider, I don't think I will be trying the actual restaurant. Mold aside, it was a lazy slider with half a slice of Kraft cheese and more batter than fish.

    Saw this spot on Instagram and told my buddy we had to check it out--it looked legit. I ordered the fish sandwich, he went with the tofu, and overall? The food was good. The fish was fresh, not overly greasy like some places, and didn't leave that heavy fried aftertaste. Just clean flavor, solid crunch, well-made. The tofu was also done right--crispy, flavorful, no complaints from my friend. Service was excellent, and the vibe was chill--cool atmosphere, good energy. Now here's the thing... $20 for a fish sandwich? That's where it lost me a bit. It was good, yeah--but not $20-mind-blown good. Felt more like something I'd enjoy once, but not necessarily rush back for. You're mostly paying for the experience and the presentation, not necessarily a meal that changes your life. Still, if you're curious and want to try something different, it's worth checking out once. Just don't go in expecting to be spiritually transformed by fried fish.

This meal demanded that I close my eyes and sit with it-- an active meditative practice, if you will.

Oh, and for anyone who dreads Arts District parking, there's a dedicated parking structure nearby. A small but appreciated blessing.

    Hello! Just…read moreupdating my previous review. My wife and I live and work in the neighborhood and we've been coming here for almost 2 years. The coffee is incredible. I get the Purple Fruit and Wilder Blend pour over and my wife gets the Purple Fruit as well. She also drinks the mocha, peppermint tea or Moroccan ice tea... About a month ago, one of the managers here Jason introduced me to these drinks so I bought the Purple Fruit beans and a pour over kit and started drinking it at home in the mornings since we both get up early. My wife tried it and she loved it and I've been making it for her every day! She asked me to get a few bags incase they run out so I did! I now drink the Purple in the morning at home and Wilder at the shop during the day. I've also bought the Wilder for other people in our neighborhood and they loved it as well. I buy Verve coffee for my team all the team and they never said no. I enjoy buying good coffee for others as much as I enjoy drinking it myself. Their lattes and mochas are really good too. I also bought some beans for my mother in law so she can share it with her friends back home in Seoul and she said they loved it! My coffee game has been elevated and I loveeee it! I don't drink alcohol and it might be another reason why good coffee is so important in my life... It was my birthday this past weekend. Bonnie, thank you soo much for the thoughtful message on the cup. You gave me the Wilder leftover on a shot cup and it was the first time I took a "shot" in 4 years. Ed, I appreciate the nice chat we had and like you, I was only counting my blessings. It was just another day. The team here really work hard and really know and enjoy their coffee. They are not perfect but they still strive to serve us everyday. We are truly lucky to be served by you and you make our day better whether we realize it or not. It's an experience and an adventure. It is personable and natural. Really excellent and exceptional service all around. Thank you to everyone. Jason, Brian, Ed, Matt, Anthony, Daniel, Agia, Pars, Ale, Bonnie, Kayla, Alex, Ozy and the rest of the crew. Cheers!

I'm saying plain Kroger's was better than whatever we had here. The matcha... now messing up matcha is an easy feat. However, it's a new experience for me to have a "green" matcha drink and for it to taste of no matcha and only oat milk HOW? Truly I'm asking. How does that happen? The most green drink, you'd think I'd be heavy on matcha and too bitter. No. That's not the taste you got at all. Straight milk. HOW? Overpriced and disgusting? Hard pass. I have never wanted to pull a "Karen" in my life until that moment. Because wtf. But I have issues with standing up for myself and my earned money, so I simply left rather than bringing it up to an employee. And I will say the lady who was at the cashier that day and took our order was friendly and sweet. I think she tried to warn us on what was actually good to order, clearly I did not heed.

This is more upscale, almost fine dining Filipino food. Something I have never experienced before. We were very intrigued and were excited to try the food. If you're looking for a carinderia or turo-turo taste, this ain't it so don't come expecting that. Menu is not extensive, which is what we like. I have a hard time at Cheesecake Factory and that just stresses me out. I feel like their food menu is compact, thoughtfully created, and appealing. We had a very difficult time not ordering the entire menu. So we ended up eating almost half of it. Drinks menu was also very innovative and the drinks were STRONG. I also appreciate that they have non-alcoholic versions of some of their drinks. I wasn't indulging that day so Hubby and I were able to sample one of each type. Calamansi Mojito ($20) for him and Ube Horchata ($14) for me. As for what we ate: Manila Mais ($18) - 2.5/5 stars - It was, okay. Filipino-ized version of Mexican elote, corn-ribs style. Though it had Filipino elements like the bagoong butter, it didn't really taste like anything different. And to be honest, the bagoong butter didn't bring anything to the table the way it was presented to the side of the corn. It was too hard and just sat on the elote as you ate it. Kare Kare Tamales ($26) - 5/5 stars - UH-AMAZING!!! I could have eaten two, regular-sized tamales versions of this as an entree instead of two smaller appetizer size. The braised oxtail inside the tamales was soft and tender but the peanut butter veloute was *chef's kiss*. You definitely tasted kare kare but in an innovative way. I just wish they had some steamed rice or bread so I could soak up the sauce. I almost cried when they took the plate away because I didn't want to waste the sauce! Bicol Express Mezzelune ($38) - 4/5 stars - I was eyeing this originally but opted not to until the chef came out and talked us into it. And I'm so glad he did! This was delicious! Ironically enough, I just cooked traditional Bicol Express the week before and this definitely hit those notes without being a carbon copy of it. Again, where was the rice?! Only thing I can dock is that I felt like the pasta was a tad too thick and was chewy to my taste. Otherwise, I would definitely order this again. Was the sleeper hit of the dinner. Crab Fat Fried Rice ($38) - 5/5 stars - Crab? Crab fat? In rice?? Of course, sign me up! So delicious and a very generous portion. I wanted to hoard it to myself but I guess I had to share with Hubby. Would order this again. Ribeye Salpicao ($96) - 3/5 stars - Not my favorite of the bunch and this surprised me because I love rib eye. It came out medium instead of the medium rare we ordered and the taste was just not to my preference. It's possible that it was just overshadowed by the other excellent dishes we had. Likely will not order again though the portion was generous. Two minor things I wish they had but not enough to dock stars: Rice and spoons. Come on, now! This is a Filipino place! These two are musts? How else could I mop up all the delicious sauces they put on the food?! Service was impeccable! From front of the house host, bartender, and the chefs, the experience was very welcoming and polished. We sat at the bar and was able to chat with the chefs when they came to introduce themselves to us and they were the nicest people. You felt like you came to a friend's house and not an impersonal stranger's. Will definitely be back to try the other half of the menu we missed and we'll be bringing friends!

    After a late night out, the hubs and I needed something reasonably close and yummy for breakfast…read more We were staying at the Hotel Per La so I sent my hubs to grab and our food to bring it back to our hotel room. My breakfast burrito was good. My husband's breakfast sandwich was better so halfway through we traded. Service was great. Ambiance was nice.

My wife and I stopped here a few weekends back for lunch and I was pleasantly surprised with just how much I enjoyed the food. The ambiance here is pretty generic, white and bright and very copy and paste of a lot of places popping up recently. The staff was super friendly while taking our orders and dropping the food off, which is always appreciated. I ended up ordering the Santo's Turkey Melt which is smoked turkey, grilled onions, Swiss cheese, and chipotle aioli served on sourdough with a side of french fries. The sandwich was really good and the same can be said for the french fries and I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of fries given, so thumbs up to that. I forgot what the food costs so I visited the website and for some reason they don't think it's important to put that online, which is pretty darn stupid if you ask me. Overall, I didn't have a bad experience at Sandcouch Cafe and I would visit again in the future thanks to it's convenient location. The food was solid and the staff was friendly, and that's really all I need when ordering a sandwich.

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 ordered the Espresso Martini, and it tasted pretty watered down and lacked the bold coffee flavor I was hoping for. On the bright side, the food was definitely the highlight. The mussels were flavorful, the calamari was crispy and cooked well, and the fries were delicious. Those dishes really saved the experience . Overall, I'd come back for the food, but I'd probably steer clear from cocktails and order a real drink. Prank is a convenient place for dtla residents in surrounding apartments to come get some quick bites and drinks and catch a live game

Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared, with authentic flavors and quality ingredients that stood out from the first bite to the last. The ambiance was welcoming and the art was tasteful. What truly elevated the experience was the service. The staff were attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, making us feel genuinely welcomed throughout the meal. They were quick to offer recommendations and ensured everything was perfect without being intrusive. We ordered the tostaditas de atún agua chile negro, beet salad, carne asada taco and Al pastor taco and watched the World Cup game. Distrito Catorce combines exceptional food, a great atmosphere, and top-notch service. It's the kind of place that leaves you planning your next visit before you've even finished your meal. Definitely plan on coming back to watch more World Cup games.

To be honest, I was already biased because his Smorgasburg pop-ups were consistently good. But Distrito Catorce is different , it's like art. My favorite dish was the tacos de papa with salsa macha. The crunch of the potato taco riding into the salsa macha and crema felt like home, but with some extra pop. His salsa game is on point. The scallion salsa on the ribeye taco was also gas. Lastly, I really dug the tostadita de atún. It hit perfectly on these hot summer days. Low-key, I still want to try the El Rey de Noche. Tacos de beef trompo are starting to hit LA, and dude was ahead of the curve making picanha-brisket tacos de trompo. Service is smooth too. The servers are helpful, and solid at the bar. Overall, it's a cool spot with a menu that feels unique to LA.

Parking: there's valet and several of lots but watch out for the $5 small print. I went 2 blocks up by the residential area and was able to find parking on a Saturday around 12pm. For drinks, i had a classic Aperol Spritz, which was very nice and refreshing. But I had to try Florida Man because of these ingredients (blueberry rested Ilegal mezcal, Lo-Fi vermouth, lemon, African basil). They have a really good beverage program, and I would like to come back more for drinks and try the Bro over Tomatoes. For food, I got the pop over benedict, honestly, I didn't know what I was expecting because I was assuming a regular benedict, but it was the most beautiful presention and delicious hollandaise sauce i've ever had in my life! The hollandaise has a little spice to it that blended well with the creaminess. I also had that barbecue oysters, which is basically oyster rockefeller. I really how they have fun names of their drinks as well as their food. The service were absolutely delightful. My server made me laugh. When I asked him, what should I get between one or the other drink, and he suggested, why not get one after the other which made me chuckle. A definitely a great sales person.

The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and I really loved the overall feel of the restaurant. The food was delicious, with a few hits and misses for my personal taste. The honey butter cornbread was absolutely delicious, and the quinoa with snap peas was another favorite--so fresh and flavorful! The baguette for the barbacoa sandwich was a little too hard for my liking, and the chicken was slightly dry for my taste, but the flavors were still really good overall. Definitely a great place to experience if you're in the Arts District and looking for something a little more elevated with that rustic, farm-to-table feel. I'd come back to try some of the other dishes!. Service was good as the food came out pretty quick.
