I was instantly so glad we chose this spot to celebrate our anniversary because it was the perfect setting for a romantic date night. Now, let's talk about the food! Everything we ordered was delicious, with the exception of the Korean aguachiles, which we probably could've skipped. We also tried the bluefin bibimbap, oysters, and the oh-so-tender short rib that practically melted in our mouths. But the most unforgettable dish was also the simplest: the Korean fried chicken. It wasn't necessarily something out of the ordinary, but it sure tasted like it. The perfect crisp, flavor, and seasoning had us eating every last piece right down to the bone. Our server also made the experience even better. She gave us some of the best recommendations and were incredibly attentive and friendly throughout the entire meal. We absolutely loved this restaurant and are already planning our next visit!

My friend and I ordered the soy marinated prawns, beef tartare stone pot rice, creamy chicken soup, Wagyu beef soft tofu soup. The prawns were nicely marinated in a slightly sweet slightly salty soy sauce, and came paired with some barley and seaweed to make mini wraps. Delicious and a nice way to start the meal. The creamy chicken soup was indeed very creamy and smooth but the bowl is really small and would've been better with a higher soup to noodle ratio since the noodles soaked up the yummy soup. The tofu soup was surprisingly bland even though it was very red. It could've used more umami flavor or spice - something to jazz it up since the tofu, egg, and beef itself were not seasoned. My favorite dish of the night was the steak tartare stone pot rice. It came with a lot of veggies that helped balance out the sauce and I'm a sucker for crispy rice. However, the rice itself wasn't seasoned thoroughly as some spots had absolutely delicious sauce while other spots were bland. And the sauce wasn't a part of the tartare on top so it wasn't a mixing issue. The staff are kind and attentive, even with us being tucked away in the back corner and hidden by a curtain panel.

You enter and are immediately transported into a tiki-like hut that's small and intimate. They have a wide selection of drinks, all served in a unique and fun glass. Many of the drinks have a "flame" element to them with makes it kitschy, though the prices for cocktails were on the higher side. Favorite drink of the night was a Painkiller. The food was ok. We got the soup dumplings (4 stars, much spicier than I expected), the crab rangoons (3 1/2 stars) and the Hawaiian Pizza (3 stars -- this was rather small and lacked seasoning) The service was great! Our primary server was fun, personable and definitely was having a good time. This is the perfect spot to grab a drink or two before moving on to game of bowling, or to grab dinner at one of the many spots in Highland Park. Thanks for a fun time Lucky Tiki, we had a blast!

They have a selection of vinyls that you may request to play. Me scanning through all of the vinyls to see what tune I wanted to hear...Unfortunately, not many updated music selections. However, I find it a perk that they give you a chance to pick and play whatever you're in the mood for. The bartenders were very mellow which I supposed it was matched to the ambience of the bar. Ordered the espresso martini and vibed out. I do believe they should carry more music selections with some updates to more legendary artists considering it is a vinyl bar.

We walk in and the place is beautifully done inside! Chill ambiance, nice materials, cool tile and artwork . We chose a booth, but there were plenty of seating options on a Sunday earlyish evening. The menu? Whoa! Wtf in a great way!!!! They explain the science behind how they create every elixir aaaand how they are so sustainable! #1 sustainable bar in North America and apparently #24 of top 50 bars in North America! We tried the: Fu Gwaa Falsetto: SO cool! They used a bitter melon, which is hard to include in things, and made a dope drink! The sprinkles on top were my fave and tied the drink together. Koji Killer: dessert drink for sure, but I kinda needed a second one delicious! Barcelonette: refreshing, light, lovely P Town Boxing Club: a little disappointed that I couldn't taste the pandan as much, didn't get as much of a distinct flavor Hops Don't Lie: canned, refreshing, my partner like it! The servers/bartenders were so cool and knowledgeable about the menu, they even brought us samples and let us know if we didn't like something they'd replace it! And did! Will definitely be back to try more concoctions

Considering this bar was dubbed the #24 best bar in North America per the World's 50 Best, I was…read moreslightly disappointed. Don't get me wrong, I like the chill vibe of the place and they make an outstanding burger and fries. But when it comes to the cocktails themselves, I was least impressed compared to the other two bars I had ventured to that night. What we drank: 1) Echo Park Trash Can #3 - This was tasty, but my partner wasn't too thrilled that it was served in a can and felt it was a bit "lazy" and less fresh. 2) Mango Thunderbolt - I did not particularly enjoy this drink, though it was spirit forward, I didn't really get any hint of mango so I was disappointed with this. 3) Barcelonette - I typically lean towards tart/refreshing drinks so this was more up my alley and I did enjoy this one! 4) La Frutera #4 - This was also more enjoyable than my mango thunderbolt but it was a little thicker and also a bit too sweet for my liking. All in all, I'm not in a hurry to come back... But they do make a very tasty burger, and the fries were super crispy!

On their website it stated that the $25 Saturday girl brunch deal was available till 4pm so we came at 3:35pm for our 3:30pm reservation. However, the hostess that sat us told us at 3:42 that their kitchen stopped serving this deal at 3:45. We were a confused, disappointed and feeling a bit misled. After some debate my friends and I almost left but they made an exception for us to get the deal which was very kind of them. Our server Bo was also extremely kind and lifted our spirits! He seriously made the brunch more special and enjoyable for everyone. Hopefully they can make the availability of the deal more clear for others cause it can be really frustrating to make the trip to this restaurant just for the information online to be false.Other wise, I enjoyed my experience here and would definitely come back. - valet or street parking - Small and large group seating - Indoor and outdoor seating

Did someone say "GIRL BRUNCH" !?…read more Went here on a Saturday Girl Brunch date and it was a good time! They have a really cute menu for this special occasion. Brunch was $25 each person and included a starter, an entree and a dessert. They also have $10 mimosas with lots of juices to choose from. The staff was so friendly and attentive. They started us off with chips and salsa which was so good! Then we had our first round of mimosas, I got cranberry for my first two rounds and then switched over to an espresso martini with whiskey (and if you haven't tried it YOU MUST!) Not just here but everywhere! For my starter I got the berries and cream which I usually don't do but it was so good I'm glad I went outside of my box. The Chantilly cream and fresh strawberries and blueberries were amazing. For my entree, I ordered the French Toast, I did not realize it was stuffed with some sort of apricot or fruit jam and was not the biggest fan of this. For dessert I went with the churros and was left feeling a bit let down. The churros needed salt to bring out the sweetness, they tasted a bit bland and the sauce that came with did not add to the flavors. Overall because it's such a cute place, the drinks are good and priced decently as well as having a large enough menu where the next visit I feel I could choose something different I would 10/10 go back. So stay tuned for the follow up review!
