Fresh ingredients used for everything. They even have some games to play. So excited to have something like this in the area! Absolutely will return. read more

Five55 - Lychee margaritas - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Monterey Park, California

I really like to come here to dine drink and watch sports. The staff are nice and they're happy hour is great.

Oh wow -- it's become one-stop-shopping at the Courtyard by Marriott on Atlantic in Monterey Park, across from the Atlantic Times Square shopping center with the AMC movie theatre and 24 Hour Fitness. This hotel now boasts an awesome coffee shop (serving all the Starbucks drinks), a Boba place (Bobaful, it's great), a fantastic all-day dim sum place (Chef Tony) and spacious sports bar/restaurant Five55 (it's their address). They all validate! Don't sleep on the happy hour at 555 (4 to 6) -- lots of bargains to be had. Friendly host/bartender/server/busboy staff that checked on us constantly. Highlights are the smashburger (a smashed cheeseburger with fries that is very tasty) and their homemade potato chips that come out hot. Lots of games to play and tons of seating -- for reasons unknown, this place is never very crowded so bring your crew and let the Jenga tourney begin. Feeling green? The casesar salad! It's huge and you'll have a second meal. Other standouts are the chicken quesadilla and flatbread pizza. TLDR; great American comfort food with 100 TVs and games to play. read more

Five55 - Yelp kingpin Gus K in the 555 house. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Monterey Park, California

I'm visiting and met a coworker here for drinks. It's located inside the nice Courtyard Marriott in Monterey Park. The hotel lobby smelled good and looked like a huge study session with a bunch of students (?) on their laptops and socializing. I think there was a boba shop too. The bar was nice. Service was great.There are a few large TVs. The Falcons & Bucs were playing that night. It was a Thursday and not packed at all. I got a margarita and my coworker got a martini, which came with 3 olives. That scored big time with us. Both of us loved our drinks. My margarita was really tasty. I don't give this place 5 stars bc we had ordered chicken tenders & fries. It took a long time for it to come out. I feel like it took at least 25-30mins. There were about 4 tables with people so I wasn't sure why it took so long. The chk tenders looked delicious & fresh. I didn't have any but my coworker did & she ate them all; so it must've been good! read more

Came here during happy hour 4-6pm, and I have to say I was very pleased with their food and their service. I understand things happen, so when we found a piece of hair in our drink, the bartender was immediately attentive, and fixed the problem immediately and even compensated it for us, which was very kind and honestly expected because it was a gross chunk of black hair. Short rib quesadillas, and their onion rings were so delicious. Will definitely be coming back for the two. Advice: I'd highly suggest providing sour cream, though with the quesadillas. We had asked for a side of sour cream, and the waiter took about 35 to 40 minutes just to bring it , he saw that we were receiving the check and he turned around without even apologizing. It was a little frustrating being that we waited 15 minutes for him just to eat it because we were tired of waiting for him. We would still come here, but this time will make sure that we get sour cream. It's a great place to hang out with friends and I like how they provide games just make sure you wipe it down. Great place for watching games. read more

The place is nice , but we waited an hour for food during the Super Bowl. Finally got our QB plate and it came with one little thing of ketchup. There is no ketchup bottle and they had to get it from inside . I called the waitress for a pitcher of beer but she was not our waitress. I had to goto the bar myself to get it . Since there was no food , I went to get the free popcorn, but the kid said the popcorn will be ready when he was ready. Wtf ! read more

Menu switches up on Sundays. Poor service. Inattentive. Highly recommended you go elsewhere

I don't like to leave bad reviews, but sometimes places need to be called out when necessary. This place wants to charge cool trendy gastropub prices, while cutting major corners. I was expecting a quality burger more like 38 degrees, instead what I got looked like a cafeteria hamburger. This thing was so basic I couldn't believe my eyes. The patty was probably 1/4" thick on a good day. This burger was on a diet! So thin and simplified, WTF! My wife gets the fish tacos, and same thing! Where's the substance?? They weren't the normal pieces of fried fish that you get at any other place in the world that serves fish tacos. They were these thin little slivers of fish, I think there was more batter than fish. Pretty ridiculous. No wonder this place was empty on a Saturday night, that should've been a red flag. Also the food took a little while, too long for a place that's empty. There maybe was one other table eating, and a few people at the bar watching a game. The place looked cool, and we hadn't been inside the courtyard Marriott yet so when we walked in we thought the vibes were cool, just what we were looking for. But what a disappointment. The service was fine. Our server was polite and friendly. But sometimes hard to get their attention as they were busy chatting and laughing with a group of coworkers since they're all standing around w nothing to do. Too many ppl scheduled for FOH, and clearly not enough BOH. How could this place have so many 5 star reviews? Either the kitchen had an off night when we were there? Or these ppl just came for drinks and luckily didn't order food? Or... are they real?? read more

Finally got a chance to stop by Five55! Love the place and ambiance, so let's get to the deets! Location: the restaurant/bar is located inside the Courtyard of Marriott hotel. It is hidden on the right side as you enter the hotel entrance. Ambiance: The restaurant is huge and nicely decorated. Great ambiance for group setting or venue use! Parking: There is free parking underground. Entrance is on the backside of the hotel. Free 3 hours validation! Service: BIG SHOUT OUT Roxana, the server. She was very attentive and friendly! Food Bites: I thought EVERYTHING was delicious. The food pricing and amount was so reasonable! We were so full walking out! Burger - 4/5 missing a bit a flavors but still good overall Shoestring fries -5/5 Brussels sprouts - 4.5/5 would like it so much if it has bacon bits option Chicken tenders- 4/5 Edemame - 4.5/5 Five 55 Alcoholic drinks: they have a large selections of cocktails and alcoholic drinks. I got the old fashioned. I thought the old fashioned were finely crafted. The old fashioned was slightly strong with a hint of sweetness. Overall: great place to meet up with friends over food and some drinks! I would definitely come back for their happy hours for the good deals! read more

"I got Five on it, it's Happy Hour, let's go drink. I got Five on it, I want a burger medium w/ some pink." - parody of "Got 5 on it", Luniz Staying at the Courtyard by Marriott Monterey Park, I pondered a refreshing cocktail sounded like it'd hit the spot. Five55 is the Courtyard's resident upscale sports bar & restaurant, and being within Five55's Happy Hour time slot, I made my way over for a tipple. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=e82fKHijQEe0Kr2r-c-Bmg&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Iwai Japanese whiskey Old Fashioned- https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=pHNGi3XO0qgeQcZbnwXVGA&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Cold & refreshing. Just what I was looking for. I'm a newcomer to Japanese whiskey, and I quite enjoyed the flavor. It was bit of a bummer Five55's Old Fashioned didn't come garnished with a cherry. That last bite of cherry to end an Old Fashioned is literally "the cherry on top". Five55 smashburger- https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=pnvJUa6fQWAhmEyV4y-6dQ&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Initially set on strictly a cocktail, watching the TNF Raiders/Rams game made me want to stay a little longer & order a burger. I ordered Five55's signature smashburger lettuce-wrapped. It was quite good! The caramelized onion, house spread & pickles made the flavors pop with each bite. The smashburger comes with fries, but I had a Caesar side salad subbed in it's place. Great idea! Enough for a small meal, the salad was crisp & fresh, and I didn't weigh myself down with carbs. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=XdqK_xsIbwWAmT_euKK76w&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Service was okay. It seemed to take longer than it should have for my drink, food, the bill & receipt, considering the amount of customers at the time. Parking is validated for customers. Five55 is a solid Happy Hour food & drink option in Monterey Park. Their smashburger & Old Fashioned satisfied. Minor adjustments, such as adding a cherry to their Japanese Iwai Old Fashioned & improving wait time for orders/bill, would greatly enhance the overall experience. read more

I came here with some friends for happy hour, which runs from 4-6pm Monday to Friday. The prices in happy hour are fairly decent - $10 cocktails, $10 smashed cheeseburger, $10 6pc wings, etc. We personally got the smashed cheeseburger sub garlic parmesan fries ($1 extra), truffle honey sweet potato fries, and 6pc wings for food, and we each got a cocktail. I personally tried the Japanese Old Fashioned which is pretty solid - a bit on the stronger side. I really enjoyed the smashed cheeseburger as the patty is very juicy and the sauce is great, but the buns were a bit on the soggier side. The wings were okay - we got the sweet & spicy Thai chili but the wings were on the slightly drier side. However, the fries were amazing. It was probably air fried(?) since I did not feel heavy or stuffed afterwards, which normally is the case after eating even a tiny bit of fries. The garlic parmesan flavor is very apparent - especially the garlic! I also really enjoyed the sweet potato fries as there is a nice hint of truffle flavor and it is actually quite sweet with the honey. Service is good as they make sure you get the full opportunity to order from the happy hour menu, reminding us about last call for HH pricing, etc. One slight miss is that they never refilled our waters when we were running low. Overall, this is a decent, affordable HH spot in Monterey Park with great ambience, located in the Courtyard by Marriott. Like other reviews say, parking is validated if you park underground (3hr validation) so it is pretty convenient. read more

Myra was an absolute standout as our server. She greeted us warmly, explained the menu clearly, and made genuinely great recommendations (everything she suggested hit). She kept our drinks refilled, checked in at the right times, and handled a couple of small requests quickly and with a great attitude. Service like that makes the whole experience feel effortless -- we'll be back and would happily ask for Myra again. read more

Five55 - Lychee Margarita Old Fashioned Five55 Burger Shortrib Quesadilla Crispy Chicken Wings Happy Hour Never Fails - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Monterey Park, California

Visitation Rights: Been here twice. Credit Cards: They're accepted. Restroom: They're available. Location/Parking: Located inside the Marriot on the corner of Hellman and Atlantic Blvd.. Parking can be found either in their dedicated parking structure (3hr comped if you dine in the restaurant), on the side of the hotel (1hr parking), or along Hellman (just watch for time restrictions). Ambiance/Decor: Neat ambiance with modern furnishings. If you like to play some board games, there is a little section for that. If you're all about the sports life, they have flat screen tv's through out the restaurant to fixate your eyes on. If you like looking at cool decor stuff on their display shelves, you can do that also. Service: Service was great! I like to go when they open (after work) because I get all the staffers attentionThe hostess, Miranda, was very nice and welcoming. She also offered great fun facts about the restaurant, and handed me a menu for me to peruse through before going into the restaurant. Shirlene and Mark bartenders were equally as nice and reassured that my selections I made was a great choice. Food came out at a decent time. Food Of Choice: Items were chosen from the HH (4pm-6pm) menu. https://www.five55la.com/five55-happy-hour-menu.html 1) Grilled Cheese Sandwich ($11): Who isn't a fan of grilled cheese sandwich?? Even though, it can be relatively easy thing to make... I prefer to find gems that offer this classic sandwich. The sandwich consisted of sourdough bread, garlic aioli, 4 Cheese Blend, and a tomato dipping sauce! I was quite bitter at first, because I thought it came with tomato soup. When I read the HH item more carefully..... it stated TOMATO DIPPING SAUCE. I chuckled at myself afterwards. Might have been fatigue staring at the pc all day. The sandwich was delicious and was quite impressed how the bread held up from the melted cheese. The sweet potatoes were quite yum also. 2) Truffle Honey Sweet Potato Fries ($6): It was quite excellent. I would recommend to ask everything on the side and as a creature of habit I asked for no salt/seasoning on the fries. I prefer dunking food items into pools of sauce. If you can't taste the truffle, ask them if they can get you some more truffle oil. There's no added fees for request MORE truffle oil folks! Hail freaken YEAH!! 3) Smash burger ($9) with $2 extra charge for honey truffle sweet potato fries. Presentation of the burger didn't look too great, but once i bit into it. i didn't mind that the presentation was off. I did noticed that the bun would get soggy over time. So hurry up and eat it. Maybe I'll ask them to have the buns extra toasted. Five55 For Thought: Definitely try them out. read more

The service here was great. However, the food takes forever to come due to the kitchen being far away from the actual restaurant.

Disclaimer: I found out about FIVE55 from a Yelp Elite event, but I returned the next evening with my family to introduce them to this place. This review is in no way biased from my receiving perks during the Yelp event. FIVE55 is a restaurant/bar located inside the Courtyard by Marriott Los Angeles Monterey Park. We stopped in last night for a nightcap, which was one night after attending a Yelp Elite event here. We arrived at 10:15 PM and were immediately told that "last call" was going to be in 15 minutes. All of the signage and everything online states that they are open until midnight. When we inquired as to why, we were told that the chefs had come in early, and they are only able to work so many hours, so they had to close early. Not sure if that makes sense. It was a Friday night, and the place was pretty busy, and this is inside the hotel. Could they have not left the bar portion open and just not served food? DRINKS: I was so impressed the night before by their Japanese Old Fashioned that I ordered one again. My wife and mother-in-law ordered the Espresso Martinis. The martinis came out in non-martini glasses, and the Old Fashioned was missing the Luxardo cherry, as they were presented to the Yelp Elites the evening before. Again, I asked why and was told that only the regular Old Fashioned is served with the cherry. They did end up bringing out a couple cherries to appease me, and the drinks were flavorful. This Courtyard by Marriott has a luxury décor. It's easy to get to and easier to find parking (3 hours comped) in their well-lit, large spaces, underground garage. The hotel itself was beautiful and the FIVE55 venue is very nice. There's a large bar with plenty of bar area seating, as well as areas for dining in a slightly quieter atmosphere, even a "private" room with drawn curtains. They have a very nice selection of bar bites, but we didn't try anything this visit. Overall, I was a little disappointed in the follow-up experience to the awesome time we had at the Yelp Elite event. I like to go back to places after a Yelp party just to see how consistent they are with their service and product. Consistency was not there this time, but I would give them another try. read more

I love this place. The service is great and the food is good too. The setting is beautiful in the hotel and feels glam. It's a sports bar inside the restaurant though so it can get loud during games. The cozy booths are the best. The burger and brownie are both 5 out of 5. Caesar salad is good but the style of their dish has cold chicken. It's good but I like hot chicken on salads. Not everyone does though. I especially like this place because the people are so nice there and make you feel like they care and are happy to see you. Went here for my birthday and they let us bring our own cake. Was a nice memory for sure. read more

Holy smokes this place is BOMB! As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by the bar tender. Got seated right away, and the server showed up right after with water and and menus. Everyone there is super friendly, and always asking if you need anything. And, to top that, the food is delicious. I have the 55 burger on the first night, and the short rib quesadilla on the second night. Both meals were crazy good, and came out pretty fast. I would highly recommend this restaurant. It's located inside of the Mariot hotel off of Altantic and 10fwy. read more

Came to 555 right when it opened for happy hour. The waiter working was very nice and welcoming. I started off with a Japanese old fashion. Unfortunately there was a hair in my drink, but the bartender was apologetic about the mishap and kindly made a new drink without hesitation and had it on the house. I ordered the onion rings and short rib quesadilla. Onion rings were simple normal onion rings, but they did hit the spot. The short rib quesadilla was very good and I recommend it. The only downside to my experience was I asked for sour cream for my quesadilla and the bus boy that I asked took way too long to bring the sour cream bringing it the same time the check came. All in all, great experience at 555. read more

TLDR: Park where it says 1h reserved for Marriott if you don't plan to stay long. There are a variety of drinks, sides, and snacks, but I would not recommend the parmesan & truffle fries. The staff are friendly, attentive, and professional which pair well with their calmer ambiance. Feels classy but doesn't taste it would probably be the best way to describe the night there. - - - - - - My friends and I visited Five55 after dinner; finding parking is probably the hardest part. Outside of street parking, there is the "1-hour" Marriott parking and then minimum $6.00 underground parking... no thanks. I ended up parking at nearby plazas (I didn't know that Five55 was inside the Marriott.) and walking over. We ordered the Truffle & Parmesan Fries to share, and I ordered the Apricot Daiqiri for myself. I'm not the biggest fan of alcohol, but I have to admit this one went down smooth - a little too smooth. It didn't look like a lot, but I know 15 minutes in I was out. What's nice about Five55 is they have a calmer ambiance and board games (Scrabble, Jenga, Apples to Apples - to name a few) that cater to anyone. The Truffle & Parmesan fries were quite disappointing; they weren't too soggy or crispy and were alright. They were fairly plain, and most of the truffle and parmesan fell to the bottom of the bowl. For most of the bowl, we ate plain fries with subtle truffle tastes, while most of the seasoning at the bottom was too salty to eat. Other than that, the staff were attentive, friendly, and this would be an easy last-minute "go-to" to chill at. read more

Stopped in at 5 fifty-fives.. What a pleasant surprise. Who knew?? I yelped places to grub before our play in LA. Parked under ground and came up, saw Chef Tony's and thought we missed it. Well, it turns out you gotta walk past, towards the end. It's small but very chic. We got here in time for happy hour on a Saturday, 4-6. even better.

Needless to say our eyes were hungry!! It was a lot of food. This place has been here 3 years and it's our 1st! Will definitely come back..

Enjoyed the HH here Nice local joint for happy hour. Great ambiance, modern decor, lots of tv's, full bar and your typical bar foods. The $8 smash burger was surprisingly tasty. A flavorful patty topped with melted cheese and grilled onions wrapped in a toasted potato bun. Great flavors and perfectly crunchy edges. I would come back just for the burger. Happy hour fries were $5.55. Yelp reviews highlighted the mushroom flatbread--did not disappoint. Mushrooms were so meaty! They have large tables to accommodate big parties. Happy Hour : 4-6 M-Thur, Fri-Sat 4-12A Parking: underground garage $8, 2 hrs free with validation ********************************* Edit: Just a tip, double check your bill! My bill total: $55.30 + Tax $ 5.25=$60.55 Tip: 18% ($10) Total: $70.55 What processed on my credit card bill was $76.55, extra $6...Essentially making it a 28% tip. I have pretty neat writing but I want to believe this was an honest mistake. I didn't bother calling them back since the waiters probably split tip already but just keep an eye out. Plus the $8 for parking (it's free day parking in plazas across and next door), this HH got more expensive than it needed to be. read more
