It was warm outside, but a small fan provided a little relief - I would add a few more of those fans for cooling and to keep the flying insects at bay. But, the atmosphere was comfortable. Service was good, not amazingly fast but appropriate for a leisurely dinner where we weren't in a hurry. The server was friendly and attentive. The food was really good. I had the shrimp and grits. It had too much "broth" or liquid, but otherwise way better than I expected for a restaurant located in Los Angeles. I ate every bit of it. One member of our party is vegetarian (pescatarian?), and she liked her dish. The other two were very happy with theirs, also. Sorry that I don't remember what they ate as I am writing this 3 days after our visit. Suffice it to say that we had 4 different entrees and all were excellent. The interior of the restaurant looked really interesting. Not your typical chain restaurant. Made me want to linger to check it out as we walked through from the patio. Overall, we had a really great experience!

Already I'll be back again for a 3rd visit sometime soon. The staff were so friendly. Everyone who we interacted with, from the hostess to our waiter, were all just very friendly and it made us feel extremely welcomed into their restaurant. As for the food, everything was amazing. Probably can't go wrong with anything you order here. So far in my two visits to Yicha I've tried the following: 1. Bossam - ordered this both visits... truly amazing. First time having Bossam and it changed my life lol. The pork was cooked so perfectly.) 2. Bulgogi Burgers - wow. So good. The patty was juicy. The aoli was so tasty. Very filling. 3. Chicken Wings - also super good. Loved the "K-Ranch" sauce! The sauce was so good I even used it with the Bossam haha. 4. K-Town Nachos - I've never had nachos like this before! The crispy rice cakes were a unique take but really enjoying take on nachos. 5. Kongguksul - It's not something I would normally order as I'm not usually a fan of cold noodles, but since I was with a group and we ate family style it ended up on our list and I actually really liked it! First time I've enjoyed cold noodles. 6. Fuji Apple Eggrolls - Amazing. Never had any type of an egg roll dessert before. It was extremely flavorful and a great way to end our dinner.

We ordered a variety of dishes to share, including the buttermilk biscuits, yellowfin tuna tartare, BBQ chicken, calamari, and the fideos, and every single dish was delicious. My personal favorites were the buttermilk biscuits and the fideos. The biscuits were warm, buttery, and absolutely irresistible, while the fideos were packed with flavor and easily a standout dish. Everything else was just as enjoyable, the tuna tartare was fresh, the calamari was perfectly cooked, and the BBQ chicken was tender and flavorful. If you're dining with a group, I definitely recommend ordering a few dishes to share so you can try a little bit of everything. We'll definitely be back!

The server (on my receipt the name is Austin) ALSO forgot to do the birthday candle for my husband (which i asked for and saw all the tables around us getting celebration candles - I know it's such a small detail to complain about but if everyone else didn't have an issue, why did we?) - hence my low star rating. She also kept us waiting around forever for our check that I had to flag down one of the hostesses because we waited another 15 minutes with our card out. The service was so bad and distracting so unfortunately it took away from my experience. Positives: street parking is super easy, do NOT pay for the $14 valet. The cornbread is an absolute must, the trout was absolutely delicious, the chili stew was incredibly flavorful, and the cobbler was a nice sweet end to the entire meal. I would maybe come back another time but hopefully have better service.

Still have never actually eaten here... but I've been here enough to talk about it…read more First off, this place is BIG. Like actually big. Good for birthdays, group hangs, events, all that. You're not cramped in here fighting for space. Game-wise... don't come here expecting anything crazy. There's nothing super serious for hardcore gamers, no rare cabinets or anything you're gonna geek out over. It's more like solid, familiar stuff. That said, it does work really well as a date spot because there's a lot of co-op games, so you're not just standing there awkwardly -- you actually have something to do. Now the food... I still haven't gone deep into it, but the wing deal is actually a good deal for these times, which is rare. That alone makes it worth pulling up on a Tuesday. Menu is kinda big though, and anytime I see a big menu like that I start side-eyeing the kitchen a little bit... like yeah some of this gotta be frozen But overall? It's a good spot for wings and beer without spending Ye Rustic money. If you're trying to keep it chill and not blow your wallet, this is a solid move. Not a gamer spot, not a foodie spot... just a good hang.

Hermon's has been on my list for a while, especially after seeing their cheeseburger listed among…read moreLA's top burgers. My original plan to bring a family group of 13 didn't work out since they couldn't accommodate that party size, so I pivoted to an early birthday dinner with my mother and daughter. We snagged a Tuesday 5:15 PM slot off the OpenTable waitlist for two, and they were kind enough to adjust it to three so my mom could join. I accidentally left the "birthday" note on the reservation, and they warmly greeted me with a nice card. Ultimately, between a pricing mistake and a lukewarm dessert, I had to drop this to 4 stars from a potential 5 star experience. Hermon's is a cozy, beautiful, and classy space with a lively steakhouse feel--rich wood tones, comfortable booth seating, a central bar, and an open kitchen view. It fills up fast right at opening, making for a noisy, energetic atmosphere with great music. Accessibility note: the booths can be a bit tight for seniors, though my 88-year-old mother made it in with a little help. For parking, there's a $10 valet behind the building or limited free street parking nearby. Now for the food. We had the Schiacciata Bread ($12) for a starter. Light, puffy, focaccia-style starter paired with a flavorful green garlic herb butter. For mains we had the Steak Frites ($26) & Cheeseburger ($24). We shared both, and the Steak Frites was actually better than the famous cheeseburger. The cheeseburger was good, but definitely not Top 5 in LA--no modifications are allowed (reminiscent of Father's Office), and the Dijon wasn't spread evenly. For dessert, we had the Lemon Baked Alaska. While visually stunning and served with a birthday candle, the flavor was just okay. Unlike the special birthday dessert I received at Maria Isabel in SF (their Mosaic Gelatin), there wasn't a separate complimentary treat here. I did get a birthday card. Which was nice. For drinks they offered a solid Happy Hour until 6:00 PM (including $10 Yuzu Margaritas, $10 Martinis, and $18 cheeseburgers). Personally, Checker Hall's HH is better. We stuck to non-alcoholic options, ordering a house ginger beer and a couple of lemonades. As for the service it was great overall--from the welcoming hosts to our attentive server who checked on us throughout the night. Two things left me a bit disappointed: being charged $24 instead of the $18 Happy Hour price for the cheeseburger (we ordered well before 6:00 PM, though I didn't notice until writing this), and the lack of a distinct birthday dessert. Hence, 4 instead of 5 stars. Still a solid experience, but room for minor improvements.

We waited one hour, and thankfully, there are two benches in front of the host stand. I also want to add that a full drink menu is available while you wait. We were seated at the bar area. We, of course, ordered all plates to share. Starting with the potato fritters, spring goddess salad, two sheet vongole, and burger. I have to admit the food service was very slow, but the food was so good it was worth the wait. Once the burger came, I was too full to try it. My absolute favorite was the two sheet vongole and spring goddess salad. I can't wait to go back.

Nothing crazy , not enough chicken and needs more flavor. Don't recommend it. They have this moz ball mmm wasn't my favorite. Kinda makes the soup look weird. Idk.

That didnt take away from the experience of how good the food was, the service and the drinks that were made for us. She had the Mateo's Greyhound and I had a vodka cranberry. We ordered bbq wings and they were good sized pieces. The ranch that came with it was pretty good. The lady wanted fries and when they came, we were both shocked how giant of an order it was. A few of them were clustered together which i secretly enjoy. I cant remember if we finished them or not but it was a hefty amount so fare warning if you order them on the side.

Today was my second time visiting this place. I walk over…read morehere once a year. It was 12:08 and the place already had about 3 people in it. I was planning to have a few beers again but when I saw the prices and played it safe. Had ONE 16oz beer $9.25 and the final price was $11.56! Obviously added charges ( I did leave a tip so it really cost me $13.56) Seriously it's 12 noon on a Tuesday??? I've traveled to many states and also overseas and have paid this much for a TOURIST location. Highland park is not that kind of place where charging this much for a single beer makes sense. Will I come back? Absolutely not I'm reading lots of reviews and seeing proof of this place up charging customers and now I'm telling you the same this place is not worth your hard earned money. IF this place served 20oz pints my review would not have been so concerning. My advice to this business is lower your prices or more people will be opting out of this place. I was planning to bring my wife sometime but on second thought I don't think it's worth it. I can spend this kind of money at a more upscale bar with a coastal view. There was a man sitting at the very end of the bar with his laptop and he acted like he was on something. Kept getting g up and walking behind the bar to grab canned drinks over and over. He must have been an owner/manager? My man, maybe if you stopped drinking your own supply the beer prices would be lower. Try to taste your food the speed you were eating looked like you were about to have a heart attack. Pros; it's a bar that opens at 12 Cons: ridiculously high beer prices
