Outside of Smash Masters
Karl M.

* The Double Smash burger was great - the buns were incredibly soft, the cheese was gooey, and the beef had a nice smashed crust with crispy edges * The fries were nicely seasoned and crunchy and the SM sauce that came with it was delicious blend of sweet and tangy * Overall, a delicious spot in downtown L.A. that has friendly service and is reasonably priced for its location

We've been starving for some new food options in our neck of DTLA, particularly this little strip mall where restaurants don't seem to last terribly long over the past couple years, but my boss passed by today and said that they were open so he came over, and unfortunately, he's vegetarian so they don't have any options for him, but for me, their menu is limited, but their prices are very fair for smash burgers let alone Smashburger's in DTLA. Smashed and charred edges to perfection, with good taste. Simple, but tasty! The fries are shoestring, but also cooked perfectly crispy and topped with a little spice and a little drizzle. The Egg Roll Burger... it is in fact an Egg Roll w the Smashburger ingredients inside. Tasty and I'd get it again for a change-up, but the better value (and flavor) is in their burgers. Super nice crew, not much ambience inside and they're still having some opening day glitches, but I do foresee us in my office frequenting this location

A Double Smash Burger, good lacing and tasty!!!
Kevin A.

On a whim and to have a snack before going out to dinner later, my girlfriend and I decided to walk next-door to a newly opened restaurant on the ground floor of the building we are staying in... This would be "Smash Masters," a spartan and clean restaurant that really only has one or two things on the menu: smash burgers and something they have created eponymously called an eggroll smash burger. No chicken. No pork. Just beef smash burgers... And let me tell you, they are excellent burgers, what with the patties being extremely thin and smashed so as to get that lacing we all love protruding out of the soft potato bun. They come w pickles, cheese, onions and sauce. Perfect. Something we were not expecting to crow about are their french fries which are as good as any I've ever had at a smash burger joint. Thin, crispy shoe string fries nicely and not overly seasoned w some kind of Lawry's Seasoning Salt that just makes them sing. The smash sauce here is good, nothing remarkable, and maybe a tad looser than I'd like, but damn serviceable too. These are smash burgers of the highest order! Get here.

This sauce is so good!

You better bring it if you name yourself Smash Masters. This new Smash Burger spot in DTLA does just that. Straigh . Delicious burgers at a great price and excellent friendly and welcoming service. Come support these guys, we really need more options like this. Get the Double Smash meal at only $15 and you will be amazed at the quality and taste for a very reasonable price. You will walk out full and completely satisfied.

This appears to be a brand spanking new place. It bright and clean. It was quite empty. I ordered a #1 with bacon plus fries and a drink. The attendant was quite friendly. He made sure I was good that my fries coming with smash sauce. My food was quickly made. It was modestly sized burger, in retrospect I should of ordered a double. I would encourage them to offer a triple, though it appears you can a la carte add a patty to a double. The patty is plenty smashed with a lot of mallard goodness. Great flavors from the burger and fries. This place is off to a good start, its tough out here. I hope they eventually add onion rings and more.

flop this was $15...it's not worth that much imo like it's not bad but it's very underwhelming it's like a school lunch that id eat if it was free but wouldn't go out of my way to pay for

Combo #2 Double Smash
Semaje S.

With only 3-5 options this burger spot is great for its customer service and food. I got the combo #2. The fries were good. Well seasoned. The added sauce gave my taste buds a kick. The burger was juicy. I got my food to go but there are tables to sit down at.

The place is very clean and nice!

An absolutely fantastic experience and meal. Nothing outrageous on the menu, just rustic food done…read morereally, really well. The cornbread is a must, and I really liked the freshness of the tomato and peach side dishes. I'm not sure I can order a pork chop at any other place after having theirs--it was so juicy and grilled perfectly. I didn't know pork chops could be so good! Booked the Chef's Counter, which was an awesome experience; saw the behind the scenes of cooking, preparing, and coordinating all the dishes. Fair warning, we were sat directly in the line of fire of the grill, so it got hot. There are counter seats on the appetizer side, which wouldn't have been as warm. Besides the seating, we were treated so well and warmly by the staff, and felt very taken care of. A great spot for a fancy date night or celebration meal.

Finally got to try this place, after seeing it being recommended everywhere. I made the reservation…read morethrough Opentable and oh man how hard it is to secure a good dinner time on a weekend night. That's how popular this place is. Parking is street parking around the neighborhood. We came here on Sunday evening so it was somewhat doable. We showed up several minutes earlier and they suggested us to wait in their wine room/bar. I didn't really plan on getting any wine so we waited a little bit outside at the patio and then returned when it was the actual time. I had made a reservation for the counter seating, and we were seated right in front of the fire area where they cook the meat. It was cool to watch them cooking the food and prepare them, but it was soooo hot. I didn't ask to be moved, but I definitely should have. Now for the food, we got the baby albacore (sooo good), pork & green chilly stew (it came with tortillas) and they suggested us to get the cheddar & chive potatoes with the chili and make it into a taco. Really good. The tortillas were amazing too. We were saving our appetite for the other orders so the waiter offered to box the leftovers. It was a very efficient service. The next thing we ordered was the mushroom crusted pork chop. When we were waiting, we saw them prepared a lot of the ribeye orders which looked truly magnificent. Maybe for next visit! But the pork chop was so good too. It definitely felt pretty rich. The waiter had suggested us to order a side salad to complement the richness and they're right, I should have! We ordered the popular cornbread as a dessert (following other reviews online) and it was a great suggestion, since I really want to try it and there was no way we could eat another dessert on top of everything. Cornbread was amazing as expected. Pretty crispy on the outside and warm and soft on the inside. The honey and butter complement them really well. It has some jalapeño in it too. Overall it was an amazing dinner experience. Next time I visit I'll be sure not to sit at the counter (lol). But the service was really good and efficient, and everyone was really nice and polite.

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!

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.

I've taken too long to review this fine place!…read more I came here with my daughter in honor of Morher's Day. JM, the manager was super nice and helpful. He even surprised us with the delicious dessert. Elizabeth was so sweet and always on hand to make sure we were happy. The service was perfection and the food was in a class of its own. Do not hesitate and order their chicken! It's no wonder everyone keeps raving about it!

MULBERRY - LOTS OF HYPE, LACKING REAL KOREAN FLAVOR AND -  EXPENSIVE…read more I make my own reservations and pay my own bills when I dine out.  PROS: The patio is the place to dine, Service was excellent, two dishes were worth the visit CONS: The food lacks authentic Korean flavor, it's expensive, and there's no regular bar--only fancy organic alcohol with unfamiliar names. PROTIP: Study the menu beforehand, eat on the Patio, order the Wngs and Short Rib and Try Son Nong Dan across the street. SUMMARY: Go to Koreatown and get better food for less I finally visited the much hyped Mulberry the other night, expecting a fantastic experience based on all the hype and social media.What I got was an overpriced meal on Sawtelle that watered down what should have been a showcase for excellent Korean food.  Mulberry is cramped and dark on the inside and excellent on the patio. There are some interesting tables inside near the back, but the Patio is where the action is, especially when the sun is out.It has shades of Hatchet Hall's ambiance and a great vibe. Service comes fast and is very good. They do know what they are doing from a service perspective. Drink orders arrive quickly, and food is served fairly fast. We knew what we wanted before going. Korean Pancake, Wings, Dumplings, Acorn Noodles and Short Ribs.  Korean Pancake - small and just ok flavor. The sauce was good, but for $17, you could get a giant, better tasting pancake almost anywhere else. Fried Chicken Wings - probably one of the two stars of the night--had a fantastic crust and were very plump and juicy. Sauce and pickles were excellent and you get two types of wings with each order, both were excellent.  Acorn Noodles - a very good mix of flavors, good nori, the hard-boiled egg (a surprise) was good--expensive for $22Steamed Dumplings - well made and cooked well, but the lackluster sauce served with them didn't help. A well-crafted dumpling that needs a much more flavorful sauce to accompany it.  Beef Short Ribs - The other star on the menu, along with the wings. Very tender and great taste. Use the salt! We ordered the extras which you don't have to do. Small piece for $49. It's a No Tip restaurant so you get the automatic 20% charge - which I did not mind. Pay the help. Our bill came to $200 for a meal that was probably worth $100.You can go to some of the AYCE Korean BBQ places and get better quality, more food and be happier. The hype for this place will die down. If you like Sawtelle go to Son Nong Dan across the street for an overall better experience and better pricing.

Right next to the restaurant was a Dior boutique where the plates and tableware were displayed and sold. On the first and second floors, you could explore everything from Dior handbags to the brand's iconic collections. On the third floor was an exclusive restaurant that felt like a hidden gem just for us. The décor was incredibly impressive, elegant, and thoughtfully designed. Everyone seemed relaxed and comfortable, which made the atmosphere even more enjoyable. Each dish was beautifully presented with its own unique artistic touch.

Update lol I did not mix it until halfway through, I added a brown sugar cube and noticed there was still cocoa on the bottom and I got a lot more of the espresso taste, made it honestly much better the espresso was still incredibly smooth and the cocoa was a compliment rather than the main taste still. I tried a clump of the cocoa powder and I think it's because it's not bitter at all, and mild sweetness- very good. The Americano was great, normally it tastes like just coffee and water but this was also blended and smooth For the drinks, the Night Rosée (non alcoholic) was great, it has ume, grapefruit, white tea, and soda. I thought the ice cubes looked great but my mom was not a fan of how little drink there actually was, especially since it was non alcoholic. I think that the blend of ingredients was very thoughtful, the grapefruit shows up but not overpowering, and has a sweetness that makes the drink overall satisfying. The service and ambiance are what MUST be talked about. You come in to a garden wall, mirror prism wall, a beautiful wood themed bar, a room with thoughtfully picked pieces, and a seating area outside that has a view of rodeo drive as well as another seating area that has wine glasses, cups, and everything laid out already ready for those who are getting something more than a drink. There is always calm music playing, and everything just looks cohesive together. In terms of the service, everyone is wearing a white collared shirt with navy crewneck/blazer, and it is clear they are all trained, when we first sat down it comes to the little things, we got served 3 different colored glasses which I loved, they were all themed like the green looked like leaves, the blue looked line lines like water, the orange looked like gems. But the glasses are placed and the water is poured the same way, same side and they move for every single person, rather than just getting all the glasses together. They move slowly with intention, same exact thing with the menus, opened for us
