So when this place first opened it was really good Since then they have had many menu changes And on our most recent visit it was less than thrilling Happy hour isn't as good as it used to be they very little food options and the cocktail are just ok !!the regular menu is less enticing and rather pricey I had hoped this place would be a stable go to for our area but this last experience was not the case Service was friendly but slow ~ I think they are just under staffed and didn't seem to have much of a Rhythm I might possibly give it another try considering It's so close to me .... read more

Everything was wonderful. Evin was our bartender and when my friend had questions about drinks he was very helpful and engaged in making her experience the best it could be. The food was delicious and reasonably priced for what you received. The ambience was perfect for a casual night out. read more

So this place was ok. I got there for happy hour because I heard good things but was pretty disappointing selection . I got the burger which was $10 (doesn't come with fries and no fries on the HH menu. I was told if I wanted fries, I need to get it from off the happy hour menu which was 16 so it's be $6 for a side of fries!). I went with my friend who got the Caesar salad (also not on HH menu) and an old fashion. First, when they brought our food, they didn't bring us any utensils which isn't a big deal for me, but my friend would be a real sight to see for her salad if she went sans utensils. She asked for a fork and knife and they brought her two forks (?). Then when I bit into my burger I realized they forgot to put onions on it. I didn't want to waste the burger so I just ate it but it really was just ok. My friend enjoyed her old fashion but we were pretty underwhelmed by the food. I don't plan on coming back. Not that it was bad, it just isn't good enough to come back for which is a shame because I love Bobaful and would have loved to just do dinner here before and grab boba after. Headsup, if you want to get to this place you have to pass Chef Tony and head to the back. Parking in the rear with underground parking. Free parking with validation for 3 hours. You can also park on the side for 1 hour (not underground). read more

If you're looking for a nice upscale sports lounge this is the place! Great food, great service, even better drinks! PARKING- Easy w/ validation!!! Plenty of parking everywhere. They have an underground parking lot, very safe and clean. LOCATION- Beautiful, this place seems very versatile. Great for a business meeting/lunch and even nice enough for a date! SERVICE- I sat at the bar and was helped out by Mark. It was my first time here so he helped me go through drink options and his recommendations were great! Drinks and food also came out quick and he was very attentive throughout the entire time I was there. FOOD/DRINKS - I like sweeter/fruitier drinks and got the smugglers punch, it takes two to mango, and dirty horchata. They were all delicious! I also got the pork belly and bao platter, food was prepared well and tasted delicious! Overall I was very happy with this place, price, and service. Don't forget to ask mark about recommendations! I will definitely be coming again!! :) read more

A nice selection of great food and responsive service. Cool place to watch a sporting event.

Came to this place for happy hour on a Friday, although they disappointingly don't have HH on Friday through Sunday. The cocktails here were quite good, even if selection is a little small. I haven't tried the beers but I imagine their taste is probably normal as expected, but the pricing is fortunately quite decent as well. Their food menu is quite limiting though; I'm surprised that there's no fries at all anywhere! The service was top notch, with people coming in to check on us for water refills or additional orders. The interior is very clean with windows providing lots of sunlight, and if there's a sports game on, then the patrons get quite energetic! I give 4 stars due to the lack of HH on a Friday and their small selection of food, but SGV really needed a classy joint like this for an evening unwinding! I look forward to seeing future improvements or changes. read more

We visited here on Friday, April 21 at about 5:00pm with our party of two. The whole experience was kind of a disappointment. First of all, I will say that the hostess outside the restaurant is just a wonderful and lovely person, with the most amazing personality. The restaurant itself is also very modern and lovely. We are local, and we decided to come here on Friday afternoon for Happy Hour. We called just one week prior and they told us that Happy Hour is Monday - Friday 4pm to 6pm. When we arrived, they told us that they stopped Friday happy hour "months ago". Clearly, someone has no idea what they are talking about. We decided to stay anyway. We had two drinks that we enjoyed. I had the Lychee Margarita. I also ordered the smash burger. The smash burger was rather disappointing. It comes with only the burger, no side at all. Second, although it was tasty, I feel like I could have gotten the equivalent at McDonald's for $2.99. It was nothing more than what you would have received from them, and it looked kind of pathetic on the plate. My Husband had the fish tacos, which he enjoyed and we shared the brussel sprouts which were pretty good as well. This hotel is not in Santa Monica, the heart of Hollywood or Venice Beach -- it would be wise to make your Happy Hour to include Fridays and frankly even Saturday and Sunday, in order to draw in more locals. If you depend on only the hotel guests, particularly with a restaurant of this size, I don't see you making it. read more

After attending an awesome Yelp event here, was excited to return to celebrate my birthday here. Service and ambiance is excellent. I really love the decor here. We arrived right before happy hour ended (4-6 daily) and got to try their smash burger that included fries and the Japanese old fashion and green ting. Pricing is under $10 and even without happy hour, prices are still reasonable. Probably one of the best burgers I've had in a long time and were they generous with the fries! Cocktails were strong and tasteful- just how I like it! Would definitely return and highly recommend this place. read more

My review. "Radish + Cucumber Salad?" No thank you! Ah, Five55, what happened to you?! My boyfriend and I swing by from time to time for a lil happy hour on Fridays--I get the Japanese Old-Fashioned (certified banger), and he keeps it classic with a Heineken. Drinks? Solid. Vibes? Chill. But the food? Oh honey, let me tell you about this $16 salad of disappointment. I ordered the Radish + Cucumber Salad, which, according to the menu, comes with: red onions, dill, burrata cheese, arugula, crostini, and house vinaigrette. Now. Let's break that lie down: * Radish? Yes, technically. But instead of thin, peppery slices, I got giant raw slabs--literally the size of coasters. They had no business being that big. These things looked like they were cut for discus practice. No seasoning, no roasting, no effort--just cold, thick, bland radish wheels that somehow managed to be both aggressive and flavorless. * Cucumber? Six maybe seven thin slices tossed in like an afterthought. This is not a cucumber salad, let's be real. * Dill? What dill?? There was no dill. Not a hint. Not even a whisper. Did they just write it for decoration? * Arugula? Absolutely not. This was straight-up spinach, probably dumped out of a bag like, "eh, close enough." * Burrata? One tiny lump of it, sitting in the middle like it owed someone money. * Crostini? Two jawbreakers in bread form. I've had drywall with more give. * House vinaigrette? Picture olive oil and lemon juice in a codependent relationship--overly oily, sharply acidic, and wildly unbalanced. Someone needs to revoke their vinaigrette privileges. This salad was less of a dish and more of an edible identity crisis. A sad pile of mismatched ingredients thrown together with zero coordination, cohesion, or care. Honestly, 555, this is not a menu item--it's a cry for help. Please do everyone a favor and remove it before someone breaks a tooth on your crostini or cries into a coaster-radish. Come for the drinks. Stay for the ambiance. But the Radish + Cucumber Salad? Hard pass. read more

Yay for a new happy hour spot in SGV! Happy hour is from 4-6pm, giving you 2 solid hours to enjoy the food, drinks, and laid-back atmosphere. There's something about hotel bars that makes them feel so exclusive and elegant. Luckily, parking is free and finding Five55 is pretty easy. The HH drinks are fun, tasty, and pretty strong. My favorite was the Japanese old fashioned! HH food is pretty decent too, with items like wagyu hot dogs, burgers, and truffle fries on the menu. For those who think $5.55 is expensive, l for a hot dog, you've never tried a dirty dog after a late night in DTLA. Trust me, those are worth every penny and this hot dog is made of Waygu! Truffle fries were good too, if you like thin fries. Definitely coming back here again! read more

Five55 is a new bar and restaurant located inside the new Courtyard by Marriott hotel in Monterey Park (right off the 10 freeway across from Atlantic Times Square). Several coworkers (myself included) expressed excitement for their $5.55 happy hour menu, and we decided to stop by for some food and drinks. Right now, happy hour is only Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 4PM - 6PM. The dining area is fairly large with spread out tables, seats at the bar, even a smaller enclosed room. A good amount of TVs throughout the restaurant. Because the restaurant just opened, they're still in their soft opening and working out the kinks of running the restaurant. We arrived midway into happy hour on a weekday, and there seemed to be just one server taking the orders for all the guests. Had some trouble flagging down people and asking about dishes and we weren't able to order all that we wanted due to limited staff, but overall - it was a pretty satisfying happy hour. All the items on their happy hour menu are $5.55 (reflecting the address of the hotel), but you're also able to order from the soft opening menu. For the drinks, I recommend the Japanese Old Fashioned. They don't skimp on alcohol, and the drink was pretty strong in my opinion. Super smooth and not entirely bitter. The champagne spritzer was alright. If you like sweeter, more syrupy drinks, I think you'll enjoy this. I thought it was too heavy on the strawberry coulis. Would definitely get a margarita next time. We tried all the items from the small plates - would highly recommend the truffle mac & cheese and the cheeseburger. I don't normally enjoy mac and cheese, but the 3-cheese blend that Five55 uses is more elevated than the normal American cheese. Was super rich and had roasted mushrooms and bread crumbs and wasn't overtly cheesy. For their cheeseburger, we originally thought there were 2 small cheeseburgers, but it's actually one burger with 2 patties along with cheese, pickles, onions, lettuce, and sauce. It's not super special, but I did enjoy the potato bun that came with the burger. The house salad was alright. I really love gorgonzola cheese, so those cheese pieces along with the craisins and pecans were super tasty. But I felt that the salad was overdressed. Having super wet arugula isn't the tastiest thing, so unfortunately didn't enjoy this too much. The wagyu hot dog was interesting. If I didn't know that it was made of wagyu beef, I probably would have assumed it was a regular hot dog. Nothing special about it - we felt like the polish hot dog from Costco was tastier (and cheaper). The appetizers - highly recommend the truffle and sweet potato fries. I enjoyed the sweet potato fries more, just because they were cut thinner so the fries were a little crispier and had that candied taste from the truffle honey. Truffle fries were pretty good, too. There wasn't too much parmesan and truffle zest to cover all the fries, but who doesn't love potatoes that are fried? Crispy cauliflower was a miss for me. If you enjoy eating orange chicken, I would say that this was a healthy version of that dish. When this was brought out to us, the server announced that it was chicken, which made us all shake our heads because none of us had ordered chicken. She clarified with another worker - turns out it was the cauliflower. I didn't enjoy the sauce and the outside breading tasted kind of strange - almost stale as if it had come from the freezer. Overall wasn't a fan and wouldn't order this again. And of course, we had to get a dessert to try. The chocolate lava cake sounded pretty delicious. More of a mini lava cake fit for one person. Don't think the name "lava" is appropriate as nothing flowed out once we cut into it. And when another friend visited another day, the same thing happened with her cake. The chocolate cake is super rich and more on the decadent side. Eating a bite of the cake with the mascarpone whip cream helped to add some sweetness. tl;dr - Overall, felt like Five55's happy hour was a good deal. Definitely a nice place to relax with some drinks and enjoy some food while catching up with a friend. And because they just opened, everything still has that newness tint to it. I've heard their mushroom flatbread is pretty good, so will likely return to try some other items in the near future. There's a small parking lot located alongside the left of the hotel as well as street parking or the garage across the street. read more

The drinks were delicious. The brussels sprouts were amazing. But my favorite thing was the edamame.! we enjoyed the food. The ambience was a fun bar type atmosphere that had tons of games on the table for us to play. It was laid back with a modern twist.! The service was great. We never had a flag someone down. read more

Came here on a Saturday's night and it wasn't busy. Food and service was good. Would come back here again for the fish tacos.

I came here before on Valentine 2021 I believe, there was so many food options such as steak, salmon and all kind of different things so I decided to take my friends here on my birthday to see if they like it. But the menu is completely different and casual. But good thing is the food was good ( Five 55 burger) it tasted fresh and juicy! read more

Wanted to check out the beautiful new hotel in MPK and take advantage of their happy hour specials. Pros: Drinks are good Food is good Cons: Service Service was slow. I had to ask for refill of my water and had to chase down someone to get the bill. Seemed like the servers were more attentive to hotel guests than locals stopping by. read more

Amazing! Went well, good food, and great ambiance. The service was good. Convenient location, great for families.

Had the opportunity to eat at Five55 and was not disappointed. Currently the menu is limited as they prepare for their full opening. Highlights: Fried Cauliflower bites, is battered and was so good my wife though it was chicken. The western burger is amazing and probably my favorite item. The calamari was ok. I forgot what's it's called but sorta like a fried creamed corn was unique and My buddies favorite. The happy hour prices are fair at 5.55 lol.... Hope to be back for the full menu. Oh and don't forget to try their beers. read more

Great place to hang during Happy Hour (4pm-6pm) before a movie across the street at the AMC theater. Kinda elegant for a bar more accurate as a relaxed lounge atmosphere. Service matches the place, waiters that check in the right amount without intruding. Was there on a Saturday, had fish tacos ($11) which was part of the regular menu and their burger ($9) which is pretty popular as every table ordered this. I think it is worth it for the $1 upgrade to sweet potato fries with truffle honey. Sweet potato fries are easy to burn so we were impressed with how PERFECTLY they were cooked. Fish tacos come in three. Fish were big pieces and fried well - light batter, flaky, tender. Came with great sauce and expected fixins like cabbage, tomato salsa fresca and guac. BBQ chicken flatbread was the only item that wasn't that great, kinda small for $15 bucks and a bit lackluster with some scant pieces of dryish chicken and bbq sauce. Would come back again to try other items. read more

This review is mainly for the happy hour menu. Between 4:00 and 6:00, they have happy hour that includes beer cocktails and food. I like that they have craft beer available, but the cocktails are also unique and nice to sip on with some food. They have really good shoestring fries, I particularly like the Truffle sweet potato shoestring fries. The ambiance inside is pretty nice, with a mixture of tables, high tops and lounge chairs. This is a good place for both small or large groups. Located in the Courtyard Marriott, they have some free parking and also a parking lot Underground. I can't remember if the parking lot has a fee, as I usually park in the free spots on the upper deck before the parking lot structure. read more

Immediately walking in, the restaurant was beautiful! The waiter, Xavier was great too! He was really nice and was understanding. I could not have tomato and had asked for no veggies but received it on the burger. Then, they remade it and it was super pink basically raw. Totally not the waiters fault and he was super nice about the whole thing and did not charge us it. If you go, ask for Xavier! He was helpful, friendly, and started convos too! Also, the onion rings are the best I have ever had and I've had plenty. Food was 5/5 just sad with the chef mistakes. read more

I came here for happy hour for my birthday and everything was amazing from the staff to the food. The only things we got on happy hour were the drinks and some fries. The fries were the size of McDonald's fries but had much better flavor. We got the truffle fries and the garlic fries- both delicious! We also ordered some small plates- tuna Tartare wonton tacos, Brussel sprouts, grilled cheese, Mac and cheese, and wings. Everything was good and flavored so well. I really recommend the tuna tartare wonton tacos. Parking can be a bit of a hassle since there's only a couple of spots right when you enter and it's 1 hour only. Otherwise, I hear there is a underground structure and they do validate. There's also street parking on Hellman too. read more

The location is inside the hotel. The ambience is beautiful. I love the really comfy couches.! Very chic and modern! I always come here for the cocktails. They're really good made very well. This time we just got the beignets which was pretty good but I think it's made out of filo dough ! They call it beignets, but it's think it's filo dough because I could see the layers in the texture! It was still decent. Anyways, I wouldn't call it beignets but that's what they called it! The first time I had it it was good. The one in the picture was a little bit crispy for me but yes, cocktails are great definitely come for the cocktails!

Location/Parking: underground parking which is amazing that this place validates parking so makes coming here super convenient and safe! Crowd Vibes/Aesthetic: it's a sports bar with comfy low chairs so more of a lounge rather than table and restaurant feel. Very cool for a catch up with friends and family here, can be a bit loud from noise if you're looking for an intimate dinner. Food: great tapas style. We ordered the Caesar salad (large portion to share), sweet potato fries (amazing!), wings, flat bread, Brussels sprouts and Mac and cheese! For dessert, we got the brownie which was okay. Service: everyone was super attentive, will be back! read more

Five55 - THE FOOD WAS TOO GOOD for me to get a before pic!!!!!! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Monterey Park, California

I like coming here for their happy hour. However, this place has a hard time keeping things consistent. The first time I came here, their service and cocktail was great but I had some issues during my second visit. Their cocktails didn't taste the same as before, we ordered a single burger with fries and it took 20+ minutes for us to receive it. They used a lot of seasoning versus fresh ingredients for their fries. I feel as if they need improvements on their consistency in the service and their kitchen process. The bar/restaurant has a nice ambiance. PSA: Parking is available at the side of the building. The restaurant/bar is located in the hotel. Happy Hour 4-6PM. Ordered: 555 cheese burger with garlic parmesan fries, impossible Sandwich, japanese old fashion, lychee margarita, The green thing Recommend: cocktails read more

The service is good. The drinks... depends on who makes it. Old Fashioned the first time- wow. Second and third time not so great. The food is fine. It's not the cheapest. For some reason this place has a kitchen that's across the lobby of the hotel. Happy Hour is never that cheap. For some reason two ppl always comes out to $80. I could've gone to premium AYCE Kbbq for that price. But alas, alcohol. And the thing with alcohol for me is.. it's better out. Another local option is Luminarias. Better views, but hella busy. read more

So their food was backed up/delayed and we experienced the same. Ambiance good, updated with more tables for large parties now. read more
