This is one of favorite Polaris. San Francisco Polaris non dining room food is barely edible. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I only go there for comfortable seats.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The non dining room general seating area is good.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It often has decent food, though I like their salad bar better. The best part is the dining room. Both time I have been it has no wait. I generally get a couple starters, which is twice as much in size as SFO. The entrees are decent. I prefer this lounge 100 times more than SFO Polaris. Definitely worth checking it out. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Also not as crowded as SFO.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Polaris lounge is a great lounge![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have a section where you can sit down and order from a menu too in addition to the all you can eat buffet.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Items that I ate this time: Laurent-Perrier La Cuvée Brut champagne Spring Vegetable Paella Little gem Cesar Polaris signature burger- sounds silly but their burger is great! You can add grilled onions, mushrooms and a fried egg if you want. Made to order so it's always fresh. For some reason the shrimp fried rice was delicious!! The staff is very nice as well. read more

Here on a layover and the Polaris Lounge is next to my gate. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Wanted something light but like having a seat down meal and their dining room is great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My Server, Emily, was professional, courteous and efficient. Ordered the White Bean Soup, Cheese Plate and a gin & tonic. Well-prepared and delicious! read more

LAX was our second Polaris lounge visit for this trip. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This location was smaller, more crowded and louder (engine noise) due to being surrounded by active gates.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food menu was different than SFO. We decided to just graze the buffet since the restaurant menu was not that enticing and we were still mostly full from our earlier stop in SFO. The mushroom pappardelle pasta was a little bit clumpy but tasty. Oatmeal raisin cookie was the best tasting dessert option even though the lounge was promoting the UA 100 year anniversary of United Airlines cupcake. [[HIGHLIGHT]]As time ground on, the lounge filled up and United definitely needed to expand as there wasn't enough seats for all the customers flying out that night.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Glad we arrived early and secured our own table. read more

This lounge is great! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Good food with a variety of, quality ingredients, and clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] To get in here you need to fly in the United Polaris class. Open bar if you drink, coffee station, chocolate station, and food buffet. All bathrooms are duel sex in private rooms. You can shower here as well. People serving are great, polite, and prompt. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are single booths sit sit, and group tables if you are with a few others.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Finally, there are phone booth rooms for people to talk on the phone.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Overall: 5 stars A lounge where I would and did go out of my way for. There's nothing more exciting than enjoying a pre fixe right before your travels and the dining room at the polaris lounge offers that exact opportunity. Accessible for all star alliance international business passengers, this somewhat small lounge offers a grand offering of table serving and buffet options akin to first class lounge service. In addition to the expansive dining and drink offerings, the private bathroom and shower suites offer more privacy and comfort for pre flight cleansing routines, which is an underrated amenity of the lounge. Very glad to have visited this lounge. Roasted Pear Salad - sweet and vibrant salad that is easy on the palette and refreshing. Five Spice Chicken - the chicken is well flavored with the spice blend, but unfortunately the broth lacks saline and depth beyond the herbaceous note that is critical in a pho broth. Vanilla Rum Cake - warm and delicious petite dessert with the salted caramel adding decadence; some cream which I omitted would also add levity.

This lounge is in terminal 7 near gate 75. Take the elevator up to 4th floor. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Compared to the lounge at Bradley terminal, this one has a more intimate setting and not as big and less upscale feeling, but it has all the amenities including shower suites.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My favorite thing about this place is the fact that there's a full service sit down restaurant, albeit small they have really good food and worth giving it a try if you have the time. Keep in mind there can be a wait when they're busy. read more

United Polaris - Restrooms with green red lights occupant indicator - Airport Lounges Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Gayle and I spend several hours here recently after flying into LAX Terminal 7 and waiting for our United Airlines Business Class connection to Sydney Australia. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were well fed and comfortable, surrounded by friendly staff that were easy to please, and with a nice view of the tarmac.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]At the same time, we both thought that the United Polaris Lounge at SFO was a bit better, and that neither held a candle to some of the foreign airline lounges we'd experienced, notably the Turkish Airline facility at the Istanbul Airport.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]At the same time, our experience beats hanging out at the gate, and of course we're grateful for the extra attention and comfort.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Great selection of food at every time of day. Delicious homemade cookies and always fresh healthy options from the buffet. The restaurant gets booked up but has a small menu with decent options. Always love a Polaris burger. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Definitely snag a shower if you can. You can request a myriad of toiletries.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

United Polaris - Polaris burger, shrimp fritters and salad - Airport Lounges Near Me - Los Angeles, California

If you're used to regular United Clubs, this place might feel like an upgrade. But stack it against other Star Alliance lounges and it's clear this one just doesn't keep up. Right off the bat, the food looked like it had been sitting out way too long. Nothing looked fresh, nothing looked exciting--though to be fair, the selection and quality were better than a typical United spread. Low bar, but still. Service was the real weak spot. After we ate, we had to move because nobody was clearing tables. As the lounge filled up, people were literally pushing dirty plates aside just to sit down. Staff walked right past messy tables without lifting a finger. Most seemed checked out--only one person bothered to acknowledge us at all. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Meanwhile, a guy nearby was yelling on speakerphone, and no one suggested he use a booth or even offered him headphones.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Behind the bar, three or four employees were standing around while one person handled all the drink orders. It felt unorganized and uninterested across the board. [[HIGHLIGHT]]And like the United Lounge, once the place got busy, good luck finding a seat.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Bottom line: yes, it's a step above a standard United Club, but that's about it. If I had the choice, I'd take the Star Alliance Lounge in the international terminal or the Maple Leaf Lounge in T6 any day. read more

When it comes to flying United Business Class, most of us are simply... tolerating it. I don't personally know anyone who loves it or recommends it with enthusiasm. The biggest highlight, honestly, is their app. It's genuinely world-class...whoever built it deserves a medal, because it runs circles around every other airline app out there. The second best thing is the United Lounge at LAX. You can actually sit down in their little restaurant section and order off a menu. The food itself isn't anything groundbreaking, but having made-to-order eggs and some crispy bacon beats picking through a buffet any day. Other than those two positives, I can't say much. Service in the air is consistently the worst, and the onboard food... well, that's a whole separate review. lol read more

I liked: Sweet Potatoe Cake Pumpkin Waffle Roasted Tomato Shashuka Açaí Breakfast Bowl These were ok: Matcha Smoothie Oat Milk Latte Polaris Lounge at LAX was a fun experience for a first timer like me. I was so tempted to order everything on the menu but tried to be good The pumpkin waffle is decent. It is not overly pumpkiny and pairs well with the hot honey chicken. The chicken is fine. A little undercooked in the middle but still crispy and tasty overall. The matcha smoothie is just ok. It is fairly watery and does not feel much like a smoothie. The Sweet Potato Cake is solid. A simple appetizer that doesn't do anything extra but still satisfying. The açaí bowl is tasty but I wish it had more substance or texture. The oat milk latte is just ok. Very plain and not very bold in flavor. The roasted tomato shakshuka is fine. I wish the bread was warmer and crustier instead of hard but the tomatoes and eggs had nice flavor. Service is good. They are quick to help with anything you ask for. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside is nicely decorated and the space feels calm and clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I can see why some people pay for lounge access. If I was just coming for the food I would not say it is worth it but having showers, quiet space, and a place to change makes sense if you have money to spend. #goodeats read more

When flying Polaris class with United, you have the opportunity to use this club. The club is found in terminal seven upstairs. Access can be had by using the elevator or the stairs around the corner. The club provides a welcome relief from all the hustle and bustle in terminal seven. A place to relax before your flight with some food and drinks all while watching planes. In a Saturday morning before our flight, we popped in for some breakfast. Just before 8am, the club was still quiet. We were informed that the sit down restaurant is not open till 8am, but food can be ordered anywhere. The menu has been paired down quite a bit. Chef Ricardo overheard my disappointment that eggs Benedict was not longer on the menu. He quickly offered to make me some: what a welcomed surprise! He brought out a beautiful plate of eggs Benedict with a side of potatoes. He even brought me a side of sauce! Thanks for chef Ricardo for making my experience a good one at the club! Plus to enjoy my meal, I hit my fix in espresso martinis! Some of the best espresso martinis around as made with fresh espresso! read more

Had the lounge access on the way to our trip to Japan and it was so convenient a nice treat. Had a delicious Illy latte, a couple cocktails and a light breakfast. Service was on it and so welcoming. [[HIGHLIGHT]]My only gripe is there are hardly any seats available so a lot of people are standing around trying to find a spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our party luckily found a couple seats for two of us read more

United Polaris - Airport Lounges Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Ah United, does anyone like this airline? [[HIGHLIGHT]]The general "fu pay me" attitude is reflected well in the LAX Polaris Lounge, a place where you can pay $6000 for your international flight and be treated to sad employees, dirty floors, overcrowding, and what is essentially middle school cafeteria food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The reconstituted scrambled eggs were nice and solid on top, but when you scooped into them you could get a nice slice of eggs out with the spoon. Then there are random cold cuts, cheese sliced like it's an early Picasso painting, and "garlic bread" that they put out at 6am and haven't moved (6am three days ago...) [[HIGHLIGHT]]Be glad if you get a seat, or maybe don't be glad?[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

One thing I would like to emphasize about this lounge is that one particular Asian male server who works at the dining section is simply awesome! He's always friendly, efficient, professional, and will answer any questions regarding the dishes they serve. Since Polaris inflight meal quality has been lowered particularly after COVID, I try to have decent meal here prior to boarding nowadays so that I could skip inflight meal. ;) Please note it gets very busy during the evening intl departure 'rush hours' (for HKG, SYD, MEL timing) due to their rather small space unlike SFO Polaris Lounge. read more

LAX T7 Their guacamole is wonderful, so is the clam chowder. The open lounge is very pleasant and calm for the many hours we're here. Perhaps they're the only lounge that has no time limit, as of now. The agents are very helpful at front desk. UA app can get you in if you forget your credit card. Unlike Amex's Centurion lounge - 3 hour rule, this lounge is lenient in terms when you can check in - our flight is 9 hours away. Last time with Centurion in Buenos Aires, although it was transfer and does NOT fall under the 3-hour rule but the manager there insisted their 3-hr rule. Bathroom stalls, at time, could use some cleaning. No shower. The wine glasses can use some improvement - I know I'm asking a lot -:) read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Compared to airline food onboard and other lounges, LAX was pretty good overall and very clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They had a good buffet menu and also a small restaurant where you can order from a menu.

I have been here about 4 times and have never been impressed by the food. Service was ok but there are not enough tables for a-La-carte dining. I put my name on the waitlist and was told initially the wait would be 1/2 an hour, but I still haven't gotten my text after almost an hour so I went to check. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It looks like quite a few passengers are done eating but are just occupying the table texting. They are just inconsiderate but the good news is you won't miss much as the food is not great[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Also there is a buffet area so you will get something to eat even if there is no table at this dining area. read more

I am not a big fan of airline lounges in the US as they are not managed well, overcrowded and have bad service with terrible food. This one is not so.
