Wow! Wow! Wow! I finally tried Arais Machane Yehuda LA, and I'm so glad I did!…read moreFrom the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and welcoming. The owner greeted me, asked if it was my first visit, and gave me a tour while sharing what makes the food so special. That personal touch made the experience even more memorable. I ordered the Rib Eye Arais and Hot Wings, and both were bursting with flavor! The Arais rib eye was juicy, tender, and perfectly seasoned,while the wings were crispy, savory, and had just the right amount of heat. Everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. It was a delicious experience, and I'm already looking forward to coming back! Highly recommend--10/10!

The Vegan Arais delivered incredible depth of flavor and texture, serving as a satisfying meal paired with its side salad. The chunky potato fries were cooked to perfection, but the Roasted Eggplant (baboon) stole the spotlight--prepared tableside and paired with crispy za'atar pita chips, it's a must-order. Despite a lively Sunday evening crowd, the staff provided outstanding, warm, and attentive hospitality. A fantastic addition to the neighborhood! Plenty of free parking off the alley and street parking in front was not an issue either.

We went to TLV Tapas for the first time last night and absolutely loved it. We've been hearing…read moregreat things about this place for a while, so we finally decided to check it out--and it definitely lived up to the hype. The décor is beautiful and the vibe is great. I know it turns more nightclub-like on Thursdays and Saturdays, but even on a Wednesday it felt lively and fun. The music was good and there were lots of birthday celebrations, which added to the festive atmosphere. We started with the bluefin crispy rice and the truffle sashimi from the specials menu. Both were good, but honestly I'd probably skip the raw bar next time because some of the other dishes were even better. The short rib cigar and the arais were fantastic. The real standouts were the oyster mushrooms--arguably the best mushrooms I've ever had--and the hanging tender skewer. Both were absolutely delicious and must-orders. We finished with the bread pudding, which was probably the least impressive dish of the night, but overall the meal and drinks were excellent. Huge shout-out to our waiter, Cesar, who made the experience even better. He was incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely great at what he does. When we come back, we'll definitely be asking to sit in his section!

I'm giving the two stars (instead of one) because we went here 8 months ago and it was average…read more Not sure if we needed to come back but we were hungry and it was open so we went in today. Today confirmed we don't need to come back. Maybe the trick is that if you are going to a "hummus bar" order the hummus... we didn't... we ordered two things. The first item was a beet salad... the lettuce was sad, the beets were sad, the sugary nuts were sad. It wasn't a Beet Salad it was a Beet S'ad (The slices of green apple rocked!) (But, really, pieces of greens and beets that should never have gone on a plate.) The second thing we ordered was the Grilled Salmon... I mean there it was at the top of their digital menu (disliked the digital menu just on general principal) and it said "Best Seller-Grilled Salmon." Cool let's try the grilled salmon. (See pictures). I mean, even if they thought I said "We will take the Beet Salad with Some Grilled Salmon on it" (I didn't), take the time to clarify. Regardless, the over-cooked fingers of salmon that came over on a plate were pretty pathetic. (I also could have said something at the time but you know how it it... now you have one person eating a wilted salad while the other person is waiting for their food to get redone and it amounts to two people eating sad food at different times.) The clincher was when the lady seated next to us came back from the women's room and mentioned that there was a cockroach lying on it's back unsure whether to die or not. She said, "But on a positive note, I think that means they are at least spraying for cockroaches." Gotta say, they still have a proper amount of people employed but not of them exactly energetic. I suppose another good thing was that my wife went to use the rest room a few minutes later and said the cockroach was gone so they either threw it out or placed it back in the kitchen where it belonged.

It's not anything special or out of the ordinary, but it definitely does the job. The place itself is small, simple, and nice--clean and well organized. The atmosphere is calm and pleasant, and it's a good spot if you're looking for something casual and not too fancy. The service was good, and the woman working there was kind and patient, which added to the overall experience. The only reason I didn't give five stars is the wait time, which was a bit longer than expected. Other than that, it's a nice, solid place, and I would come back again

Danielle worked with me to plan a menu and truly went out of her way to make it easy. Her team delivered the food to our venue ahead of time and gave us easy to follow heating instructions. Our friends and family were blown away by the quantity and quality of the food - short ribs, birria, bbq chicken, green beans, and cornbread - and Danielle threw in pickles and other fixings. She advised me to get chips and rolls and WOW, our guests were so happy. Cannot recommend enough. Not only is Danielle an amazing chef, she's a mensch too. Absolutely worth the price, every penny.

While the environment is nicely designed and looks great, the pleasant experience ended as soon as I walked in and ordered. The service was slow and overall terrible. The staff was completely unhelpful when I asked for assistance with the wifi, making it a frustrating place to try to get any work done. The wifi was terribly slow and would not even open google. As for the coffee, my Americano was bland and overpriced. To make matters worse, the to-go cup was leaky, which just added to the frustration. I left feeling very unhappy and would not recommend this spot if you are looking for a fun time or a productive place to work. There are better options in the area.

Located in a retail parking lot, this nondescript, walkup shop offers some absolutely delicious homemade pastries. The staff are friendly, efficient and there are no bells or whistles...only, bakery magic. I went with the Brown Butter and Potato option and it was outstanding. The aged dough is totally next level. Incredibly flakey, savory, and delicious. Whatever high quality ingredients you get, you'll be hungry for more. Each pastry comes with pickles (always ask for extra), hard boiled eggs and a wonderfully delicious tomato-based dipping sauce. The pastry is so good, I am counting down the days until my next visit...and the next... Very limited outdoor seating in a parking lot with no public restrooms available, but you know what you are getting instead? Divine Flakey Intervention. There is no substitute to Uzi's genius.
