Side salad and salmon
A M.

I love Honey Hi. It always hits the spot and everything is always super fresh and gorgeous produce. Nourishing and gluten free friendly! The stark atmosphere and lack of bathroom is my only qualm. I know they're subject to their store front configuration but it just never feels like a cozy dining experience. Tables are close together so conversation privacy is also non existent. Nonetheless I return for the yummy food!

Miso chicken bowl
Tania G.

After the gym, we were driving around looking for some food we've gone to another place and it was closed so we kind of just stumbled upon this place. It's a tiny little hole in the wall. I ordered a miso chicken rice bowl and we have also gotten a breakfast sandwich. Food was pretty good. I don't think the prices were too crazy. The service was pretty OK. The cashier was really nice. There was a guy that was going around cleaning. He kind of seemed like he had a little bit of an attitude, but one of the perks of this place is that we happen to notice that the actress that played love in the Netflix show you was sitting across from us with her boyfriend very casually. It was pretty great.

Cute little breakfast spot that serves coffee and tea as well. Order at the counter and grab a seat. For a unique menu item, they have persimmon vinegar drink that is quite unique, with herbs like Tulsi in it. It is light and refreshing while slightly tart. I recommend it!

Honey I am home! ;D Let's begin this sweet review. Honey Hi is a local favorite spot due to its health-conscious gluten-free breakfast and brunch spot located on Sunset blvd in Los Angeles. They have compendious menu that customers will love. Interior is cute with minimalist appearance; it's spacious with indoor and outdoor seats. I have walked and drive past by this local spot for 9+ years but never got the chance until now (2026). Blimey! I had a hot drip coffee x avocado toast on sourdough. I'd say both were okay in taste. I wish I could say it's mind blowing but words would choke me. Anyways, staff were assiduous and professional. Prices were slightly over the market value. But that's just the economy. Atmosphere was relaxing. Plenty of street parking. Overall, we had a good dine-in experience. I recommend honey hi.

Breakfast Burrito
Jaeden Y.

Super small, trendy breakfast spot in Echo Park! Had breakfast with my best friend and we both enjoyed it! It's walking distance from a lot of cool spots like the lake. We met up on a Friday morning right when they opened and had no trouble finding parking in the lot behind. You did have to pay but it was cheap by LA standards. Not very many people since we came around opening, very chill vibe. Friendly staff and lots of great menu items. There is no bathroom in the restaurant! Chairs are just stools so not the comfiest place to chill but we spent a while just chatting and eating. Prices are kinda up there for the portion but it's trendy healthy LA food, so it was expected. I ordered the miso bowl and it was yummy and refreshing! The way it was served did confuse me though just because there was a scoop of hot rice and cold chicken and the veggies had no dressing. Are you supposed to mix it all up like a salad even though the rice is hot or are you supposed to eat it like a rice bowl? Idk it was odd. It wasn't till I finished most of the rice that I just mixed the everything together and it was better, like a salad. The cold chicken and hot rice really just threw me. But the miso dressing was delicious nonetheless! 4/5 Overall, I enjoyed this place but probs wouldn't go out of my way to have it again. But I am glad I tried it and it did fulfill what I needed: a chill place to catch up with my friend and refreshing food.

Great local bistro with a focus on breakfast and lunch. I ordered the Community Bowl ($1 donated to the Greenline Housing Foundation) and featuring extremely fresh ingredients such as roasted fennel, marinated vegetables and forbidden black rice. Absolutely delicious! I also ordered the house herbal tea with honey ($1 extra), which was refreshing and soothing. Service was friendly. I was able to sit at the counter, which was a lot of fun. Casual ambiance, street parking.

Side of bacon
Alexa M.

Honey Hi is a vibe! I think I've been converted, it may be time to just call me a gluten free girlie. The food was delicious! Steph and I popped in on a Saturday afternoon and were shocked to be able to get a seat! We couldn't decide on breakfast or lunch, so we got a mix of things. The staff were all super helpful in cleaning tables, helping us decide what to order, and extra utensils when we needed to share. Will definitely be back! Loved the food and want to try the matcha when it's not out of stock, the veggie bowl, arugula salad and breakfast burrito!!

Miso Bowl
Kat L.

If I could eat this miso bowl every week I would. I love the miso marinated chicken, the colorful vegetables and how everything is proportioned so well. I always get a side of their hot sauce which is a must. Awesome place if you want to grab some lunch on the lighter side!

Lambwich.  Community Bowl
Katherine B.

Honey hi had the prettiest food I've ever seen. Their bowls are so aesthetically pleasing. My friend ordered the community bowl, and she said that not only did it look great, but once she mixed it all up, there was a sauce on the bottom of the bowl that really brought the whole bowl together. She loved the flavor. She did say she wouldn't add the egg next time because it was $4.5 extra. I got the lambwich and it was really delicious as well. Very moist. It was a great flavor with the cheese. It was very juicy so it dripped a little bit, but I'm not mad at it! It was a great lunch! You order inside at the counter and then they bring your food to you. The person at the cashier was really kind, very personable. We sat outside because it was a nice day, they have plenty of tables that line the sidewalk. Parking can be a bit rough, but we both found street parking. They're a little pricier, but I think they are very mindful about sourcing their food, which is why it's a little on the expensive side for a lunch spot. Neither of us could justify the price of the smoothies, but they do look great!

Sipping Bone Broth
Joyce T.

A healthy food cafe in Echo Park. I got a cup of sipping broth and the miso bowl with chicken. Both tasted rather healthy but nothing special. The sipping broth was nice on a cold day. The miso chicken bowl didn't have much flavor and would've been better warm. There were a bunch of veggies, which I appreciated, but didn't really have any sauce or flavor. The chicken was soft but the miso flavor was really mild. There's a public pay lot in the back of the building.

Avocado toast with radish and sweet potato swirls and some delicious edible garnish!
Foodie G.

I've been wanting to check out Honey Hi for a long time and finally got go twice recently. Their avocado toast is the second best I've had so far, anywhere. My favorite one has a little bit of salt and seasoning, the only thing that seemed to be missing from this otherwise decadent avocado toast. On my second visit I tried the Chicory Latte which was okay. I ordered and drank it for the health benefits. If you want the same benefits but like your beverages sweet, I suggest sweetening it to taste.

Lily H.

WORM larva in food....Identified as a carpet beetle larva usually found Im most infested carpets... Why was a carpet beetle inside of the food? I feel so grossed out and disgusted. I will never be coming back here ever again. I made myself vomit immediately to get the other half of worm out.

Coming from the San Fernando Valley, nearest Freeways are the 101 (Exit 2A - Alameda Street/Union Station) and the 5 (Exit 135A - 4th Street). There is limited street parking. We self-parked in a paid ($10 after 6 PM) structure attached to the complex. Venue 4 stars: Huge venue with indoor seating, a large bar area, and a nice rustic and relaxing patio area. Service 3.5 stars: Friendly and helpful but not very attentive. Food 3 stars: We stopped by for lunch on a weekday. They were serving their Brunch menu at that time. It featured a large assortment of offerings including soups, salads, specialty items such as Avocvado Toast and Lemon Ricotta Pancakes, burgers, sandwiches and egg dishes such as Eggs Benedict, omelets, wraps and sandwiches and chillaquiles. We had the Zinc Benedict (Salmon), the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes and the Avocado Toast. All were just OK but unfortunately lacked in plating/presentation and taste and were rather small for the price. Also their "poached" eggs are not really poached... they were steamed in molds, giving them more of a rubbery texture compared to a true poached egg.

At this price point, there are better restaurants with faster service to visit nearby. - - - - - - Zinc, what an element - pun intended. I've been wanting to visit for a while, not knowing what the interior or exterior looked like, with knowledge only that it was a popular spot. The entrance was difficult to find and may be heavy with that metal gate. I tried relentlessly to find a hostess this Friday night with success finally after five minutes. I ended up sitting outdoors by the calm, rectangular fountain. After about 10 minutes, a server checked in with me for ordering, but they never handed me a menu - awkward! Menu in hand, I ended up ordering their Truffle Fries and their Chicken Pesto Orecchiette. My server ended up bringing out water and generously a cup of ice (it was triple digit heat on this day). Finally after about 30 minutes, I had my Truffle Fries appetizer, and it was good with their dips. They were thin and crisp, though very heavily salted. Around quite literally 30 minutes later, the Chicken Pesto Orecchiette was ready and served. By this time, I was not so hungry anymore, but I still took a few bites. The chicken had potential, but it was super dry, perhaps overcooked. Though I enjoy a chewy pasta, the Orecchiette was pretty hard and not too al dente. My favorite part of this dish was probably the pesto and pine nuts. The sundried tomatoes were nice, though maybe a bit too sweet for this dish. Paying took about 15 minutes to flag down my server, and around another 15 minutes to get a takeout box. I'm not sure what it was that evening, but it was very slow. During my visit, I even saw a table get up and leave because of slow service - sad! I feel this is no fault of the server but rather the lack of staffing OR the large space. Perhaps having a smaller dining area for slower times may improve the dining experience.

For the food and drinks: - Their seasonal drinks are always fun. I had the pumpkin pie matcha and it was very flavorful and creamy. Although it was more a fun dessert drink, the matcha gave me energy that I needed throughout the day. - Breakfast burrito: Consistently good. I like how they put pinto beans unlike most breakfast burritos. - Classic Avocado Toast: Great! I like their avo toast because its not too large or they dont pile it on huge with a lot of toppings which makes it hard to bite into. The pickled radishes and shallots add a great tangy zing to the toast.

Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared, with authentic flavors and quality ingredients that stood out from the first bite to the last. The ambiance was welcoming and the art was tasteful. What truly elevated the experience was the service. The staff were attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, making us feel genuinely welcomed throughout the meal. They were quick to offer recommendations and ensured everything was perfect without being intrusive. We ordered the tostaditas de atún agua chile negro, beet salad, carne asada taco and Al pastor taco and watched the World Cup game. Distrito Catorce combines exceptional food, a great atmosphere, and top-notch service. It's the kind of place that leaves you planning your next visit before you've even finished your meal. Definitely plan on coming back to watch more World Cup games.

To be honest, I was already biased because his Smorgasburg pop-ups were consistently good. But Distrito Catorce is different , it's like art. My favorite dish was the tacos de papa with salsa macha. The crunch of the potato taco riding into the salsa macha and crema felt like home, but with some extra pop. His salsa game is on point. The scallion salsa on the ribeye taco was also gas. Lastly, I really dug the tostadita de atún. It hit perfectly on these hot summer days. Low-key, I still want to try the El Rey de Noche. Tacos de beef trompo are starting to hit LA, and dude was ahead of the curve making picanha-brisket tacos de trompo. Service is smooth too. The servers are helpful, and solid at the bar. Overall, it's a cool spot with a menu that feels unique to LA.

Manuela is one of the finest restaurants I've been to in a while. Everything was exquisite from the…read moremoment my group arrived. We were a party of 6 for dinner. We started with two recommended "must haves" - biscuits and cornbread. For 6 people, you only need two servings of each. Beautifully displayed. The evenly, golden brown cornbread, topped with a healthy dollop of soft creamy butter, melted in your mouth. The biscuits were light and flaky - you can see the gently layers as if it were a French croissant. Since we all wanted either chicken, pork chop and steak, we ordered one of each which was plenty for the 6 of us to share. The half chicken was so tender and popped with juice. Same with the pork chop which is hard to cook without being dry and tough. I cannot speak for the steak but those that devoured it said it was cooked to perfection. We ordered an assortment of vegetable side dishes to share - a chef that can turn vegetables into something so delectable that would make every taste bud in your mouth jump for joy, is heaven sent. Service was equally top-notch. The ambiance, with smooth music in the background and the perfect volume level where you all can have a comfortable conversation without trying to talk over loud noise. Lovely indoor or semi-outdoor dining seating. It was a memorable evening with fine cuisine & friends. Cheers to the chef and staff that made it magical.
