- LLynnVIPLos Angeles •81 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoWe had a great experience dining as we do many days a week. Working dowmtown we have been coming here regularly for many many years and we love everything on the menu . Since we are regulars we are familiar with the menu and the staff. One person who stands out as a stellar representative of the ambiance of this place is Gonzalo. He works really hard to make sure each customer is treated like royalty- all equally. Every customer seems important to him. We feel at home when we walk in and see his smile as he nods his welcome to us. We hope that he is recognized for hos exemplary service and loyalty to Little SisterMore infoLittle Sister - DowntownPrice: Moderate• Southeast Asian• Downtown•4.7

- LLoisVIPOrange County •7 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe arrived at the restaurant, a little bit late due to an unforeseen problem with our Uber driver, but was greeted cheerfully by the hostess and offered a complementary glass of sparkling wine. We were seated a short time later at a window seat with a beautiful view. We were greeted at the table by our server and offered our beverages which were brought promptly and kept full. We ordered from the menu. I ordered the Joey steak dinner. I upgraded to filet mignon, which was perfectly cooked and seasoned just right! My meal was accompanied by broccolini and potatoes in what seemed to be wrapped in a won ton. Wonderful presentation and excellent tasting. We proceeded to have dessert which consisted of a butter cake topped with vanilla ice cream, and a raspberry drizzle along with a garnish, mint of raspberries. I highly recommend this restaurant.

- MMatthewLos Angeles •1 review5.0Dined 4 days agoBrought my girl here for her birthday. We live in Lancaster, so it was a big deal for us, but we felt the food was absolutely amazing. I loved the setting. Beautiful view, and I love dark places and relaxing music. The service was top tier. Everything came out very quick. It was perfect, for us, and we plan on going back sooner than later.More infoTakami Sushi & Robata RestaurantPrice: Expensive• Japanese• Downtown•4.6

Discover Los Angeles
Think Los Angeles is a one-industry town? Think again. From the micro-Seoul of Koreatown to unexpected fusion cuisines (take Chinese-Mexican, for one) and strip malls that house destination restaurants, the city’s restaurant scene is notably experimental and diverse. Ask locals where to find the best taco truck (or lonchero) in the city, and you’ve struck a match. These mobile microenterprises are a part of the city's lifeblood. With L.A.’s own Pulitzer Prize-winning food critic, Jonathan Gold, describing the city as “less of a melting pot—more of a glittering mosaic,” we’re seeing L.A.’s vast palate show up on the plate.
