Absolutely disgraceful experience. Avoid this place at all costs. We came here specifically to watch the World Cup Final and spent a significant amount of money ordering food and drinks. Instead of treating paying customers with basic respect, an employee who claimed to be the manager immediately became hostile toward our group because he thought we were standing too close together. Throughout the entire time, he repeatedly yelled at us, cursed at us, and spoke to us with extreme aggression and disrespect. We stayed calm, remained polite, and did everything we could to avoid any confrontation. As soon as we finished eating, he suddenly claimed that we had never ordered anything and demanded that we leave. When we explained that we had just purchased multiple food and drink items, he refused to listen. Instead, he continued shouting, physically pushed members of our group toward the exit, and tried to force us out. What made the situation even worse was that he ordered the rest of the staff to stop serving our group, and after that, no server was willing to help us. We were effectively denied service despite being paying customers. We genuinely felt that we were being singled out and treated differently because we are Asian. Being verbally abused, cursed at, physically pushed, and denied service while simply trying to enjoy the World Cup Final is completely unacceptable. We later found out the owner is Jake. If this is how customers are treated under his management, he should be ashamed. This is without question one of the worst customer service experiences I have ever had. I will never return and strongly recommend that everyone avoid this place.

I have been going to Wurstküche heavily when it first opened and then sporadically throughout the years. Although I have changed as a person, Wurstküche is still a solid place where you can have a casual, good quality food with great drinks (beer and international sodas.) The sausages are of high quality meats, cooked to perfection with tons of flavor and a good snap at the bite. Everything that I have tried was delicious- bratwurst, hot Italian, Kielbasa, duck and bacon, even the rattlesnake/rabbit. The one that I have always ordered was the Filipino sausage, the Maharlika. The fries are crispy and addictive. There are several dipping sauces available and I like the curry ketchup and the blue cheese and bacon. Service is efficient and fast. You order at the front counter and someone will bring it out to your table. In this location, the patio area is located by the sidewalk/street and it is covered and enclosed, but still open to the public. What I love about this place is that this is a perfect vibe to hang out with friends. It is chill, trendy and not pretentious. It is busy but not as crowded as it was years ago. It's a good mix of people but you don't have a hard time looking for a place to sit or feel rushed to leave after eating your dish.

10/10 forgot this place existed! I've been to The Venice Beach location but boy was this a perfect spot after a show at the Moroccan Lounge. Perfect little tucked away joint with the most delicious dogs. So flavorful, a variety of wild options to choose from. Guys up front are always first for recommendations for food or beers on tap, highly recommended to go with their choices! Super nice and friendly staff! You order first then go sit down. The mustard choices are also super rad offering a different variety! Perfect munchies spot after a late night show! Ordered the Louisiana Hot and Fries with Chipotle catch up. For sureeeeeeee amazing

Food was ok 3.5 out of 5. Truffle fries were the center of attraction. We were happy that they served delirium which is rare in the states. Service is friendly and wait times were minimum. Ambiance was on brand with arts district - exposed ceilings, dark, and open concept.

Wow, definitely worth the searching to find the door and nearby parking. You order in the entrance alcove and then await your meal way down the hall and to the left in a unique room with lots of atmosphere. Food was great and proportions more than adequate. Hope to be back here again.

Rattlesnake and Rabbit Sausage with an excellent glass of Delirium Tremens

It's been a minute since I've been here, but somehow when we have a long night in the Arts District, we always end up at Wurstkuche. The long wooden tables are packed with people and there's almost kind of an Oktoberfest vibe. Rattlesnake & Rabbit with Jalapeño: I decided to go with one of the exotic options. The sausage is rather mild and buttery in flavor with a firm chicken-like texture. There's a great snap, but the jalapeño peppers don't really register any heat. The freshly baked roll is good and crispy, soft and chewy. Maybe the best thing is the giant plate of toppings. I added it all, caramelized onions, peppers, raw onions, and sauerkraut. The mustard selection is also solid with whole grain, yellow, and brown. Definitely get the fries. They are crispy and soft in all the right ways.

Hard to find street parking. Paid $5 per hour for a nearby lot. Came on a Sunday night. There was a line, waited about 15minutes in line. Got the classic Bratwurst and Bockwurst for $11 each. Unfortunately they ran out of the Rattlesnake and Rabbit with Jalapeño Peppers very early. Two of the four toppings were included. We chose caramelized onion and sauerkraut. Got the Cucumber Soda for $4.50. The sausages were good. Liked the many condiments available. The Dijon Mustard was hard to get a hold of. The cucumber soda was interesting and enjoyable. Enjoyed that there were crayons to draw on the paper covering the table. There was the outside patio and indoor dining hall. There was a water station available in the dining area. It was very crowded on a Sunday night. Overall, enjoyed the experience.

You can't go wrong here. I've been coming here for years and have tried quite a few of the sausage options and none of them are bad! If you can't choose just get a classic, or if you're feeling adventurous try the rabbit or rattlesnake. Top yours with onions and peppers + some of the delicious mustard options they have in bottles on the tables. The fries are double fried, hot, and crispy and can be paired with different sauces. Grab a beer or cider off their extensive list and you're good to go. It can get very crowded and busy here but the service is always fast and the crowd is always good vibes. They're open late and next door is Bar Eighty-Two.

German hotdog ft bæ = love

My husband took me here for the very first time fairly two years ago, and we've been coming here every blue moon when we are in the area. I love the creation of this hidden gem, and the location is pretty dope. The gentlemen employees were very helpful and patient as we navigated around the menu. I enjoyed my hotdog very much, and I'm sure my partner enjoyed mine more it's a lovely hipster environment, and it's surrounded in the heart of DTLA, so it's worth the visit! Will definitely be back if I'm ever quench or would love a bite, Thank you

What can I say I love good food and this place if you want a the wurst of the best kinds of exotic sausages come here I had snake and rabbit and it was delicious!! They had a great beer selection too Service was good and friendly and it's a good vibe overall It is communal seating so you may end up seating with other folks but it's a fun place and quality food is great but it's one of those you gotta keep going back to order it's not a sit down and get service

Good selection of German beers and sausages in the Arts District. Went as part of a birthday pub crawl - had a few different beers, albeit 2 of them on the menu were tapped out. Had some various sausages as well, which were all pretty good but were also a bit pricey. All in all, a good spot with lots of seating - just a bit expensive for what it is.

It's clear they've put intentional effort into improving this week, as service was a highlight for us. Our waiter, Sunny, was so polite, quick, and communicative. He had a lot of tables to cover, as it was a packed and chaotic room during the Mexico vs. Ecuador game last night. The N17 burger and fries (both the regular shoe string fries and sweet potato fries) were fantastic! Both were cooked just right, very flavorful, and the fries were nice and crispy. The atmosphere and design of the restaurant in front isn't your typical "sports bar" - it feels more like a cute, sunny brunch restaurant with high-quality screens for sports viewing - but the clientele feels just like any other sports bar would :) It was very lively and fun to watch with others last night. For the World Cup, they've opened up their event space in the back which is not set up like a typical restaurant - but it was great for viewing! The screens are HUGE and very high-quality.

Listen, I understand being busy is one thing but blatantly ignoring paying customers that have been sitting and waiting to be served for 20-30 minutes after only ordering two drinks is strange to me. And then to come back and ask if we wanted to remove the items we already ordered without us having to bring it up just lets me know that you remembered all this time but chose not to serve us until someone had to go ask to be served AGAIN. Even other venues that are 5x bigger than this one have better customer service/attentiveness. We also ordered the bottomless mimosas and only got through 2 bottles because it took them 20 minutes to bring out the first one and another 15 to bring out the second one when it was asked for. And on top of that, they act like they're doing YOU a favor by bringing out the food & drinks that YOU paid for. I have never written a negative review before but this experience was awful; just a waste of money &, what should have been, a good time.

I don't drink alcohol either. No bonchon was served to us although others around were getting appetizers and small plates. I am extremely polite to my servers regardless of how terrible the service was. Left a 25% tip on a $100 check. Left and absolutely am never coming back to this sorry excuse for a restaurant. WEST LA native born and raised. There are MUCH better options in the area that provide better customer service and have more polite workers. The people working there are over worked to the bone. It is almost like they make you feel bad for coming to their business and ordering food. I don't come to K-Town for "customer service" or even polite servers. I come for good food. I believe there is a thin line between authenticity and being extremely rude. This restaurant leans heavily on the pretentious rude side. Again, want to apologize for eating at your restaurant. God forbid I was hungry and wanted to order off your menu, please forgive me.

Our group waited close to…read moretwo hours before getting in but we also planned in advance to get there early and wait so that we would be able to get it. Could communication have been better? Absolutely. I think more frequent updates about wait times and capacity would have helped manage expectations. That said, once we got inside, we honestly had a great time. The atmosphere was fun, the energy was amazing, and it was clear that the staff was working incredibly hard. They were dealing with a crowd that seemed much larger than anyone anticipated, and despite being understaffed, everyone we interacted with remained professional and friendly. I also think it's important to be realistic about the situation. There were people lined up far down the street, and just looking at the size of the restaurant, it was obvious that there was no way everyone would be able to get in. It was an extremely popular event, and the demand simply exceeded the venue's capacity. I completely understand why some people left feeling frustrated, especially if they waited and didn't get in. At the same time, I don't think the staff deserved the level of criticism they've been receiving. From what I saw, they were doing their best in a difficult situation and trying to accommodate as many people as possible. For our group, the wait ended up being worth it. We had a great time cheering on Korea, enjoyed the food and drinks, and made some fun memories with friends. No event is perfect, especially with a huge crowd. We had a good time and will be back

When I arrived, there were only about 15-20 people ahead of me in line. As the afternoon progressed, the line stretched down the street, yet no staff member came outside to communicate capacity limits, seating availability, or where the line should reasonably end. Even more concerning, patrons were not admitted until after the match had already started. The situation quickly became chaotic. People who had waited for hours were understandably frustrated, and many were openly voicing their concerns. Groups were admitted one at a time, creating further delays. When it was finally my turn to enter, I was informed that all tables had been taken and that only standing room remained. I was allowed to look inside before deciding whether to stay. What I observed was particularly disappointing: many individuals who had not been ahead of me in line were already seated at tables. I have no idea how they got in but I suspect they were allowed in through some other entrance. After waiting more than two hours based on the information provided by the establishment, this felt unfair and misleading. Most disappointing was having invited friends to join me for the match, only to have the experience ruined by what appeared to be poor planning and inadequate crowd management. The demand for a major World Cup match should not have come as a surprise. If the venue anticipated significant attendance, additional seating, staffing, and clear communication should have been put in place. This was one of the most poorly managed event experiences I have encountered. At a minimum, I believe the ownership should publicly acknowledge what occurred and apologize to the many customers who invested hours of their time only to be left without the accommodations they were promised. Unfortunately, I will not be returning.
