Dinner was superb, ingredients are of great quality, the whole team of chef and other staff are all friendly. Each dinner course was presented with clever mix of aroma, flavor, creativity, fun, and each one was visually-stunning. This team of chef 's passion for cooking great food together is so strong, you could taste it in the food. All 8 guests (me included) were seated at the same long beautifully-decorated table, next to an open kitchen that equipped with high quality cooking appliances. We were welcomed to walk into the open kitchen to watch the chef preparing our food. Overall, it was like having a private dinner house party hosted by chef friends. While enjoying amazing food, we also made new friends with other dining guests. I enjoyed this interactive evening very much, and I will recommend this to my friends and family.

It's packed with flavor and the dipping sauce (nuoc mam) that comes with it compliments the dish. It comes with herbs to freshen up the taste. The eggrolls are also yummy as it has whole shrimp inside. Parking located in front of the store. It's a small store with a couple tables inside and outside. I find more people cater from here than dine in. Service is great! I called in and placed the order and the cashier who answered was very helpful and friendly. Highly recommend this place if you're in for a quick snack that's crunchy, savory, fresh, snd yummy!

I can't believe it's taken me so long to try this place, but I finally made it out here. First off,…read moreI didn't realize how incredibly small the interior was. There's one table and some stools to sit facing out the window inside, and two tables on the outside. This place gets super packed inside. For the food, I got the 5/2 combo which came out to about $14. This includes 5 banh knots and 2 egg rolls. The pictures are deceiving because the portion size is a lot smaller than anticipated. The wait for the food was 15-20 minutes and it was still crispy when we picked it up. In terms of the taste, everything was good. The banh knot was small but crispy. Had a nice coconut flavor to it and was substantial for its size (dense and not light). It paired nicely with the herbs and the thick fish sauce. The egg roll was also good too, but not as memorable as the banh knot. Overall, I would bring my friends here but I wouldn't frequent this place due to the portion size and the price.

He adds his delicate touches to a standard item we're used to eating, and brings it to a new level. He has quite the creative mind. Nice ambiance, clean spot, seats ten max. Tho we're his last party as he's moving to LA and OC area--TBD--and no longer from his home. Thanks for the amazing Michelin experience. Everything tasted bomb. Good luck with the next steps, Jason. We're sure you'll make it big. Keep doing what you're doing. You could use some more Vietnamese and Khmer food inspirations. Much love, LBC CREW

Their pop-up restaurant moves around to various venues, like wineries and breweries. The service was very good, and Chef Taylor (owner) and his staff were super friendly and open to my feedback. We tried the Old Yeller ($14), a Wagyu beef hotdog served with chips and a sweet pickle. We also tried a bowl of their Wagyu Homestead Chili ($12), topped with cheddar cheese and jalapeños. Their menu primarily focuses on Wagyu burgers, but we had eaten a large breakfast, so we just wanted to try something smaller. I enjoyed pairing the chili on my chips with the red wines we were tasting. We enjoyed everything we tried, and I would love to check them out again to try a burger. I recommend that you follow them on IG ("eatparlor") to see where they'll be popping up next.

If you've been to a popular BBQ place in the South, you're no stranger to the lines. I've been to APL at two pop-up locations: Ayara Thai in Westchester & Gin Rummy in MDR/Venice. The latter (and current) location, Gin Rummy, has seating, so it's a better experience. Ayara is a Michelin-listed Thai place, but Chef Adam was serving out of the back & there was no seating. So far, Ive tried the burnt ends (9/10), beef ribs (9/10), lamb chops (9/10), and pork ribs (7.5/10). To put this in perspective, I would not score any of these items anywhere else in L.A. higher than a 7/10. Yes, some of the sauce can be overly-sweet, but the craftsmanship that goes into smoking the meat is unparalleled in L.A. And, yes- I have a charcoal smoker at home and make decent brisket and ribs. As other reviewers have mentioned, prices are high, portions are large, and there's almost always a wait, so best to go with a party of 4 or larger so that you can sample more of the menu. And, they should add one more order kiosk and add one more person to cut the meat in order to move the line quicker. I could eat this BBQ every week. Bon Appétit!

Wow. This was easily the best meat I've had in Los Angeles…read more The pork ribs and beef ribs were out of this world -- tender, juicy, smoky, and cooked to perfection.

Highly recommend. We'll definitely be back.
