First time at the Larchmont location and the vibes were on point! We sat inside and had a nice view…read moreof the full bar. Elote was a nice shareable to start off. I would definitely get this again. There's so many tacos and burritos to choose from. We ended up getting the Taco Trio which was $12. Our favorite was the brisket. We chose the trio for the value but next time we would try the more extravagant tacos for a little bit more. The asian fried chicken burrito was the most surprising (in a good way). It had a little kick to it because of the fresno chiles. So if you like spicy and some crunch, this is for you. It is on the heavier side so you can split it with two people. Got some red velvet churros for dessert. My wife thought the homemade cream cheese frosting was kind of sweet, but i like it that way so I ate the whole thing. This is a great, casual date night spot or place to grab some shareables and drinks.

When we arrived, we were told that our seating options were limited because of reservations for tables from Paramount people. ( there were many empty tables which left me perplexed)... I know on the Friday before Memorial Day there is a mass exit, but he was resolute! He offered us a claustrophobic option that was unacceptable, but, we found a suitable table right by the door. We were there until 1:45p, and the reserved tables were without people sitting in them. I approached him after my friend left and let him know I WAS RIGHT ;)))! Anyway, the ahi bowl needed some extra sauce and was a bit dry. Luckily, I had eaten a lot of their deliciousness guacamole with "new chips" that were perfect. We both took our leftovers home ... I absolutely respect our bartender's sticking to the protocol of "reservations "... however, sometimes one has to read the room. It was basically empty with just a few customers inside. Of course I will return ... Just had to say something... Highly recommended... maybe next time WE WILL MAKE A RESERVATION ;)))) Street parking is challenging but, again, I park down Larchmont and always find a spot...

Best ramen in LA! Came in with high expectations from a friend's recommendation and it did not…read moredisappoint. Came in with a reservation and we were seated promptly after arriving. Service was good, attentive, and quick. Ordered the tsukune buns, edamame, classic tonkatsu, and ban ban noodles which were all hits. Their yuzu highball is also spectacular, strong, but smooth. I don't know how they make it but it was so addictive I had to get another. Don't skip out on their desserts either. I tried the mango kaki-gori which was great, but the tokyo banana stole the show. SO SO good. Overall, every aspect of this place is incredible and I'll be back whenever I can!

Slightly salty ramen overall but good flavors. service 3/5 - could have been more attentive, hard to flag down to refill water and get the cheque ambiance 3/5, crowded and loud, we made a reservation for 5 ppl but got seated at a 4 person square table where they doubled up 2 of us on one side.. have never been seated like that, we were very crammed even though other larger tables/booths were open at the same time. PSA: they charged a credit card surcharge of 3% on top of your total bill.. we were never made aware of this and I didn't notice until I looked at the receipt the next day... wish our server mentioned it at least. Never had such a thing at restaurants. 1/5. Overall, food was good but probably wouldn't come back due to all the other stuff.

The Library Bar is small, intimate, and effortlessly cool, with dim lighting, vintage vibes, and an atmosphere that feels both upscale and unpretentious. Open Thursday through Sunday evenings, it's the kind of place you want to linger. There's no printed menu--instead, one of their highly skilled mixologists asks you a few thoughtful questions and creates a drink tailored exactly to your taste. It's a personalized, artful experience--and our cocktails were nothing short of spectacular. There's no food served, but that honestly wasn't an issue. This is the perfect spot for a date night or a quiet, elevated way to unwind after a day exploring Hollywood. Our only regret? We didn't make it back for a second visit. If you appreciate craftsmanship in a glass, cozy ambience, and great conversation, Library Bar delivers all of that and more. A true standout.

The bartender was very personable and able to keep up with everyone and didn't leave anyone waiting to get a drink.

This is a dive bar with a solid drinks selection. My wife ordered a Coke since she wasn't in the mood for anything alcoholic. There were some interesting characters day drinking, and it was great people-watching with lots of regulars. The interactions were priceless. The bartender asked a regular if he'd left his helmet, and when he showed it to him, the regular quipped, "My head is bigger." The helmet looked like a kid's size, and the guy did have a small head. It was a funny interaction in a room full of characters, like something out of "A Confederacy of Dunces." The bouncer checking IDs outside, sporting a Santa hat, noticed my wife's upcoming birthday and wished her a happy birthday. It was a really nice touch! We will definitely be back for drinks and to people-watch the interesting characters!

To start, maybe my expectations were a bit high, but I was surprised that no banchan (side dishes) were served. That's usually something I look forward to at Korean restaurants, so it felt like something was missing. We ordered the kimchi pancake and the stir-fried kimchi with pork belly. The kimchi pancake was a bit too oily, and we had to cut it ourselves, which made it a little less enjoyable. The pork belly itself was decent, but it felt like you had to order additional items like tofu or fried rice to make it a more complete dish. It was also pretty uncomfortable inside--the space felt really hot, especially since the food was being cooked right in front of us on a portable stove. It didn't seem like the AC was on or working well, which made the experience less enjoyable overall. Considering the overall experience, the pricing felt a bit high for the level of service and quality provided. Overall, it wasn't a terrible experience, but there were a few things that made it fall short of expectations.
