    Ktown The K-Town Smash Burger

    So glad I found this place, affordable smoked meat is hard to come by in Koreatown! I got the Ktown Smash Burger, which comes with pulled brisket, and ordered a large side of poutine. You really don't find poutine like this anywhere else around here, and I'm a huge poutine fan, so I had to try it. Despite the great price, it absolutely did not disappoint, the brisket was so tasty and their serving sizes are great. The staff was also super friendly and welcoming. This place deserves way more love than it's getting. They're in an accessible location at 6th street and have ample amount of dine-in seating. Definitely coming back, and I'll be bringing friends next time!

    I find it almost impossible to believe that I didn't review Taix years--probably more like…read moredecades--ago. I'm only reviewing it now because I read and saw that it was closing (permanently?) at the end of March 2026, and I wanted to see what stories I had told in my review. Again, I really don't believe I didn't already review Taix, so I think the Yelp gremlins have been up to their dirty work. Even though our family long ago settled on calling it TAY (rhymes with "day"), my mom would sometimes confuse things by calling it TEX or TAYS. Then, when I was hanging out with the inimitable Dave Benitez last week, he called it tah-EE, and I was internally flummoxed but externally silent, because I didn't want to get into an argument about proper Taix pronunciation again, especially when I never really knew how to pronounce it. Taix was an L.A. mainstay and landmark, although its most recent location was its second; the restaurant had "only" been there since the 1960s. (It used to be near Unin Station.) It had such beautiful, elegant dining rooms. When I was a little kid, there were still plenty of oldish places in L.A. that retained some of their charm, but most were run down or at least looked old. Taix felt old, but it didn't look old. I imagine it looked very similar when it opened as it did when it closed. It was a kind of living, breathing piece of the past. It wasn't only from an earlier era, either. It felt like it connected that era with the present. When my parents were in their sixties, I used to joke that when the two of them went out to dinner here, the average age of diners dropped to seventy-eight. Taix always reminds me of formally dressed old men and their blue-haired wives. Now that my parents are in that demographic (but don't look anywhere near their age), it astonishes me just how old that original older crowd was. This was one of those places whose food I never really cared about. It was good. I don't remember what I liked or what I could even eat, but coming here was just an experience. It was also the site of a very memorable birthday party for my uncle, at which his brother-in-law gave a hilarious speech that we still talk about almost twenty years later and which gave said brother-in-law an in-family nickname. Taix plays a major role in The Madonnas of Echo Park, one of my favorite novels, and both the restaurant and that novel both remind me of the Echo Park of my youth, before gentrification did whatever it did and is continuing to do to that once proudly working-class neighborhood. So much of old L.A. is dead, and even the remembrances of the past are short-lived these days. (Bob Hope Airport is now officially Hollywood Burbank Airport, for example.) Taix is gone, to be replaced by overpriced, anonymous housing units. Could it return in a different form? Its farewell sign leads you to believe that it will. And maybe the native Southern Californian in me wants desperately to believe this. So rest up, Taix. We'll all really need a change and a return to normalcy in 2029, whatever that means for the City of Angels.

    Major props to the inside staff for working so hard to try and keep up during this closing rush…read more Mostly leaving a review as an FYI for anyone with reservations/plans to go in the next couple days - the parking lot staff have gone completely rogue and will charge you whatever they feel like charging you after you've parked your own car. My friend and I had reservations for about a week, drove separately, and parked in the lot. My friend paid $8.50, same attendant guy decided for me it would be $10 instead, and when I asked why there was a difference in price, he just yelled at me to go park in the street if I didn't like it. Go off queen, get your money I guess lmao. Honestly kind of a funny scam to run on a closing establishment Edited to add for owner: Good to know! They are definitely blaming the restaurant for it. They're wearing Taix badges and making up information about Zelle/Venmo quotas set by ownership, so you may want to have a talk with them. I have a first and last name from Zelle if you need it

They found us a seat w/o a proper reservation, and the place was lively. Ordered the hummingbird, which was unexpectedly herbaceous. Tangy with smoky undertones. Refreshing. I quite enjoyed it. The husband got the bellhop, which he said was fine but not mind blowing. We ordered the Chicken liver toast, fried mozzarella, and chicken sandwich hot and spicy. The husband got the mussels. Chicken liver toast was served w mustard seed and berry compote, which highlighted the buttery fatness. The toast wasn't crunchy and a bit difficult to cut, but the pickled vegetables were fantastic. The fried mozzarella was simple and decently executed, somewhat generic and forgettable. Better than standard mozzarella sticks. The fries were crisp and perfectly seasoned. A+. That chicken sandwich was toothsome and juicy. Def worthy of a repeat visit. I'll be thinking abt this sandwich for a while. Of his mussels, the husband appreciated the spicy broth but was underwhelmed by the crusty bread it accompanied. I had a wonderful experience personally, hence the 4 stars, but proceed with caution.

    Sadly underwhelming. The restaurant offers basic "bar" food, served with basic service…read more I wanted to love this place and support, but it is a one and done for me. The one positive is nice decor and space.

    (+) CHEROKEE TOMATO CAESAR (+) SLICED CHEROKEE TOMATOES…read more(+) BEEF RIBEYE Dunsmoor is a trendy LA restaurant right now. Reservations are hard to come by but done through Open Table. Parking is available on the street, or valet for $15. Order one main entree and 3-4 appetizers/sides for two people. Even after that , we had leftovers. Great selection of wines available. Food: The meal is rich. My favorite is their Cherokee tomatoes. Plump, sweet and juicy. The tomato Caesar isn't your typical salad. It is a slice of tomato topped with dressing, basil, breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese. One of my favorites this meal for its creativity and blend of flavors. Beef rib eye (32oz) is a lot for two people. Comes with bone marrow and sea salt to sprinkle on. Great char and flavor making it a good staple. The cornbread and cheddar & chive potatoes were ordinary. Nothing special. Loved the jalapeno addition to the cornbread. Service/Ambiance: Service is serviceable. Servers are friendly as expected with an establishment as this. Ambiance is bright and lively. Plenty of natural light. There are kitchen bar seats you can sit at where you can watch the kitchen staff cook, literally. Overall, a great tasting meal. It met my high expectations. Lots of oil and butter, so be prepared for a rich meal. Well done in my book. One of the top 10 best restaurants in terms of food and quality.

    Dunsmoor (Glassell Park) Review…read more Overall: 4/5 Ambience: 4/5 The restaurant has a great atmosphere, but it was extremely loud and very crowded inside. It made it a little difficult to relax and have a conversation. Service: 3/5 The staff was friendly, but they seemed overwhelmed. The restaurant was packed, and it felt like they accepted more guests than they could comfortably handle. It took quite a while for someone to take our drink order, and the food also took a long time to arrive. Noise Level: Very loud Food: 4/5 The kitchen clearly knows what it's doing, and the food quality is there. That said, it feels like Dunsmoor has reached "hipster hype" status, where the buzz may be a little bigger than the overall experience. I'd definitely go back, though, because there are still several appetizers I'd like to try. What We Ordered: - Chicken Liver - 5/5: Absolutely delicious. The rich chicken liver paired perfectly with their incredible sourdough bread. - Green Chile Stew - 5/5: Outstanding. It was packed with large, tender chunks of pork, and the fresh flour tortillas were amazing. - Trout - 3/5: The biggest disappointment of the meal. While the fish was meaty and cooked well, it lacked flavor and felt very basic. - Famous Cornbread - 4/5: Good, but it didn't quite live up to the hype for me. Final Thoughts: Dunsmoor serves some excellent food, especially the chicken liver and green chile stew, but the overall experience was held back by the long waits and noisy dining room. I can see why it's so popular, but I think some of the excitement is driven by hype. Even so, I'd come back to explore more of the menu.

Food was 3 out 5. Just okay. We went with the short rib barbacoa nachos but they lacked meat and cheese. I did like that they came with avocado and pickled onions. The calamari's batter was thicker than expected and there was an inconsistency with the crispiness. The chips and salsa came with regular and blue corn thick tortilla chips and the green salsa was very good. They have a small parking lot and also offer valet. Great prices for an LA happy hour.

It felt more like going into a wine shop than a restaurant. Maybe it was an off day but even the staff were very quiet and not as inviting. We were seated in the back patio are. We got there at 8:30, we ordered some wine around 8:45 and they took our food order so around 9:05 our starters came out along with "kitchen is closing do you need anything else?" We felt very hurried to finish up and leave. The hummus and pesto was delicious and so was the roster chicken. We loved the Japanese sweet potatoes. The herb sauce was great on top. When the bill came out oh was over $100 over. They had changed an extra bottle of wine, one extra started and 5% for their insurance. And the staff adjusted it but even after adjusting the bill the first time it still was wrong and had to be sent back again to get readjusted. Again maybe it was an off day.
