The café itself is super cute, very clean, and has such a welcoming atmosphere. The service was friendly and attentive. There were so many menu options that I honestly wish I had more time and more of an appetite to fully indulge and try more dishes. We were in a bit of a hurry. I tried the chilaquiles, which were quit filling. They were a different style than the traditional version. They used crispy tortilla chips similar to the kind you get in tortilla soup, which actually gave the dish a really good twist. Every bite was flavorful and satisfying. The food overall was really good, and I especially enjoyed the latte because it wasn't overly sweet like a lot of places tend to make them. Overall, such a great little breakfast and coffee spot in Eagle Rock. I'll definitely be back when I have more time to explore more of the menu.

I am emphasizing competency because that is rare skill nowadays. Extreme attention to detail in customer experience, You can tell they care. So many food options and you can see the attention to cleanliness. it was hard to choose from food as there are lots of options. The outside seating is so nice and comfortable. Food came out with incredible presentation. I highly recommend getting the chips and guac for a little appetizer it is a must try! Super crispy and guac was probably some of the freshest I've had. I also recommend getting house made sauces ! Just Incredible

Excellent beers on tap for $5-$6 and even an espresso martini for like $14. Chicken sandwich was always on point and also a big fan of the Morrison Trio. Owner was always pleasant and the servers were top notch. I never had an item on the menu that was not delicious. And I tried just about everything on their rotating happy hour menu. I remember they were selling $10 Don Julio 1942 shots one time because it was Cinco de Mayo week. Great times and memories made at this restaurant. Holiday decor was always great to see especially during Halloween. A true loss. Bring it back please! If there are any Dodgers fans out there with a good pregame spot, please reply with recommendations seeing how I do not have one anymore.

First off, I'm sad to know they are closed :(…read more The last time I went there was around the holidays before the end of the year and enjoyed some good wings and a couple of drinks. The staff was friendly and very attentive. The wings and drinks themselves were super flavorful and I thought I would have more time to enjoy and come back to visit while in town. My partner also tried their burger and fries and decided to stop by the restaurant only to find out they closed a couple of months ago. It was worth the visit when we went there back in December.z The place was cute and it felt comfy.

Already I'll be back again for a 3rd visit sometime soon. The staff were so friendly. Everyone who we interacted with, from the hostess to our waiter, were all just very friendly and it made us feel extremely welcomed into their restaurant. As for the food, everything was amazing. Probably can't go wrong with anything you order here. So far in my two visits to Yicha I've tried the following: 1. Bossam - ordered this both visits... truly amazing. First time having Bossam and it changed my life lol. The pork was cooked so perfectly.) 2. Bulgogi Burgers - wow. So good. The patty was juicy. The aoli was so tasty. Very filling. 3. Chicken Wings - also super good. Loved the "K-Ranch" sauce! The sauce was so good I even used it with the Bossam haha. 4. K-Town Nachos - I've never had nachos like this before! The crispy rice cakes were a unique take but really enjoying take on nachos. 5. Kongguksul - It's not something I would normally order as I'm not usually a fan of cold noodles, but since I was with a group and we ate family style it ended up on our list and I actually really liked it! First time I've enjoyed cold noodles. 6. Fuji Apple Eggrolls - Amazing. Never had any type of an egg roll dessert before. It was extremely flavorful and a great way to end our dinner.

(FYI - The cocktails are fantastic.) We sat at the bar so we could watch a World Cup match and ordered a few items to share: Loaded Kimchee Cheese Fries, Banchan of the Day, & Gochugaru Peanut Brittle. Since Chef Debbie Lee is famous for her Korean fried chicken wings my friend got the Gochu Buffalo Chicken Wings. The peanut brittle was made with soy & chili. It was slightly sweet with the right amount of savory. It was also addicting AF. The Banchan was marinated cucumbers. It was flavorful and tasty. The fries were perfectly cooked and topped with yummy goodness. They also went well with the K Ranch dressing that came with the wings. My friend said the wings were exceptionally good. We enjoyed our food down to the last bite and even had a chance to meet Chef Debbie.

It was warm outside, but a small fan provided a little relief - I would add a few more of those fans for cooling and to keep the flying insects at bay. But, the atmosphere was comfortable. Service was good, not amazingly fast but appropriate for a leisurely dinner where we weren't in a hurry. The server was friendly and attentive. The food was really good. I had the shrimp and grits. It had too much "broth" or liquid, but otherwise way better than I expected for a restaurant located in Los Angeles. I ate every bit of it. One member of our party is vegetarian (pescatarian?), and she liked her dish. The other two were very happy with theirs, also. Sorry that I don't remember what they ate as I am writing this 3 days after our visit. Suffice it to say that we had 4 different entrees and all were excellent. The interior of the restaurant looked really interesting. Not your typical chain restaurant. Made me want to linger to check it out as we walked through from the patio. Overall, we had a really great experience!

It's changed hands since then; however, new owners Chef Monique & Chef Paul have stuck to the original focus. (They also own Cindy's across the street.) The restaurant is a charming 1911 Craftsman bungalow. Inside emits a cozy vibe & warm ambience - just as if you were in someone's home. It's also a great date night spot if you're looking for someplace romantic. Menu offerings feature New American comfort food. Dishes change seasonally, as do the creative craft cocktails but the popular Little Beast Burger is a staple. Al fresco dining is available in the enchanting back patio, and there's a cute little parlor to chill in while waiting for your table. (Reservations are highly recommended.) I passed by enroute to another engagement and saw a parking spot, so I decided to stop in for a quick drink. The darling hostess asked if I had a reservation. I told her I didn't but was hoping to have a drink at the bar. The bar is tiny and can accommodate about 6 people. Krista the bartender/beverage director was fantastic. She was personable & friendly and we had a nice conversation during my visit. I ordered the Passion Fruit Margarita made with house infused passion fruit tequila. It was delicious & nicely balanced. I enjoyed my cocktail & visit here. I'm definitely looking forward to coming back for the full dining experience. *$35 corkage fee. Limit 2 bottles. *Street parking - read signs. *Live music Wednesdays 7 - 9 pm back patio.

This is the best burger & tots in Eagle Rock, bar none…read more The smash-style burger was perfectly seasoned, and every standard veg element added was fresh and crisp. Their hot dog is the platonic ideal of what a hot dog should be. The old bay seasoning on their crispy tots is a stroke of genius. The inside is small, so it's basically an outdoor-only seating or take-it-to-go situation. Thankfully a tall brick wall, umbrella-toting picnic tables, and large sails give ample shade to their large lot. There are a few parking spots in the back if you're lucky, otherwise street parking should be easy to find. When enough people showed up to eat, it felt like a backyard kickback. Music was a perfect volume for conversation and their Regular Show-esque bespoke mural gave us a lot to talk about. You put your order in with friendly staff inside, and they call your name on speakers when it's ready. Ice cold water is freely available as well as some select beers, wines, and juices. It's not fast food, but it's not slow either -- you can't rush something as delicious as what they have to offer here.

Exactly how it's described and they delivered it--so good! SINGLE BURGER - $9 3oz patty with cheese, butter toasted bun, mayo, chopped chilies, onion, pickles, tomato, lettuce.

LATE REVIEW…read more Finding little neighborhood gems when it comes to food has always been an exciting experience for me. Having family alongside makes the journey more special. We chose Holy Saints to announce our baby's gender with our parents and we had an amazing time during our intimate dinner here. The restaurant's ambiance was the perfect combination of homey and inviting. It is a smaller place and the number of tables are limited so I highly suggest making a reservation when dining here. During our dinner, it was a bit difficult to have a full blown conversation as the place was packed with guests when we came plus the loud background music that was playing the whole night. Service and food were nothing but amazing! Their menu is very limited. Maybe not everyone will appreciate that, but I think it is more intentional on what is being served to the table. Our highlight of the night was the Grandpa's Pan Roasted Duck Magret Au Poivre for sure. It was so tender on the inside and crispy on the outer edges! We never had a meal like that elsewhere and we will for sure be back just because of it.

Dishes tried: - Sourdough bread and bbq butter, solid for a bread dish, butter is definitely unique, reminded me of Lay's BBQ chips in a good way - Grandma's Risotto w/ prosciutto, okay for me? Prosciutto was a supplement here and needs it imo for that oomph, otherwise a fine risotto dish but would pass unless it speaks to you - Barnyard Bolognese - a bit underwhelming to start, just too one-note for me, but it eventually grew on me and would get it again if I wanted a rich pasta - Duck Magret Au Poivre - easily my favorite dish here and what I would come back for and recommend for people, tender duck with the right amount of fat and a great sauce. Fries are a bit thicker than I would like, but still enjoyed it. - Seasonal apple pie - more of a danish if I had to describe it to someone, but nice texture and more importantly, not too sweet!

From start to finish, everything was lovely, and we couldn't have been happier with how the evening turned out. The restaurant is gorgeous, the hosts were warm and welcoming, and the servers were attentive, helpful, and made everyone feel well taken care of throughout the evening. Our private dining room was perfect for our group, and every guest enjoyed their entrée. The desserts were truly outstanding! There was a small miscommunication regarding our reservation time, but the restaurant team handled it graciously and quickly accommodated us at our original reservation time. Their flexibility and professionalism were greatly appreciated. A special thank you to our event coordinator, Elyia, who was incredibly helpful, communicative, and made the planning process seamless. We did have a little trouble with the online portal at the beginning because the notifications were going to my spam folder, but Elyia stayed on top of everything and ensured the details came together. This was the perfect setting for celebrating such a special occasion, and we're so grateful to the entire team for making it memorable. I would absolutely return and will definitely keep this restaurant in mind for future group gatherings. Highly recommended!

Ambiance is great, though a little loud. Service is good…read more All our entrees were very good BUT the artichokes were not good. We first thought they were undercooked. They were warm (not hot) and it was difficult to get any meat off of them. I rarely ask for something to be sent back but especially for the price point here, these were not OK. We let them know that they were undercooked. The chokes were gone for a while and when they came back they were slightly better so we just made due and realized that they just weren't very good artichokes. Also, though the heart was good, the flavor of the leaves was not great and the dipping sauce was nothing special. They were covered with diced onions for some reason. When it's $21 for three halves, it was very disappointing.
