(Attended 07/20/19 SA @ 4:45pm and many times before): I ate... I saw... I heard!…read more Eat See Hear descended upon L.A. State Historic Park in Chinatown for a screening of "Romy And Michele's High School Reunion" https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=J_opIRYcD5NywArq6Yy5wg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Dubbed "LA's premier outdoor movie, food truck, and live music event series", this annual summer-long traveling entertainment circus (since 2012) made its way across various iconic venues throughout Los Angeles with its unmistakeable 3 1/2-story tall inflatable high-definition screen deemed the "biggest of its kind on the West Coast". A self-contained event, you were allowed to bring your own chairs, food, etc.. Pet-friendly with water bowls and treats throughout the venue, they tied themselves to the non-profit organization Best Friends Animal Society Los Angeles and No Kill Los Angeles (NKLA) to help with pet adoption. Would this nostalgic return and revamped idea of the drive-in movie pull at my sentimental strings to return for more!? PURCHASE General Admission Ticket/Seat ($14.00 + fees) - Purchased online (priced higher at the door the day of the event), this was open seating, so first come-first served. Armed with a low chair (ABSOLUTELY NO TALL CHAIRS), blanket, cushion, and pillow to sit on just in case, I claimed an unobstructed spot center screen at the very top of the seating area. Tickets also gained access to food trucks and live pre-movie music performance. Below were other ticketing options (things brought were the same): 1. Fashionably Late Tickets ($21.00 + fees - online purchase only) offered a limited quantity of guaranteed open seating tickets in a reserved area at the front of the house that allowed you to arrive at any time (hopefully before the movie started!). 2. Kids 12 & Under Tickets (approx. $8.00 + fees) offered the same as "General Admission". 3. Groups of 10 or more had group rates available. Live Music - A four-piece female-led L.A.-based band named "Lucy & La Mer" played melodic pop music that reminded me of The Asteroids Galaxy Tour and 10,000 Maniacs both I'm fans of. Their breezy chill music was perfect for a relaxing hot Saturday evening https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=agiSXIbbbsEISNq6gguTiA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Food Trucks - Chanco's Tacos, Baby Badass Burgers, L.A. Donut, Pinch Of Flavor (see separate review), and more. All accepted credit cards https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=TIXwuenAbchDX1DAMGCw3A&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Vendors - Tillamook Ice Cream, Radio.com, and title sponsor Showtime (who gave away chairs!) were supporting partners who had giveaways https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=aLwm8nibpidofk48V5tf3Q&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. SERVICE The online purchase was a breeze. There was excellent pedestrian and street directional signage to the main entrance. Marked signs once inside led you where to set up camp, restroom area, etc.. Both audio and visual systems were surprisingly clean and clear. There were the customary long food truck lines akin to L.A. traffic without the bad drivers. There were no onsite ATM machines. Generally-speaking, everything was fine and ran smoothly. PARKING (Varied; FREE this instance) Plenty of parking on the woodchips along the sidewalk. Otherwise, there was an abundance of timed parking along the main drag of Spring St. and all surrounding streets (FREE after 6pm) and $10 onsite parking. The Chinatown Gold Line Station and a bustop were about a 7-minute walk. Another option was to hire a driving service like a taxi, Lyft, or Uber. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A large open-air grass field https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=P9gObCbeS5F9zUF89oj3Fw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw, it was everyone for themselves as the gates opened and throngs of guests flooded in! Designated smoking areas were in the parking lot. Upon entering, you passed the sponsors area and porta-potties, then the lawn, and finally the food trucks all the way across. The music stage was at the foot of the screen, but wished they had a camera that projected the performance onto the screen. Exposed to the elements, you heard random sounds from conversations, dogs barking, and vehicle traffic, etc.. The aforementioned gigantic movie screen was your TV while DJ Howly and the live band provided the music. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL Eat See Hear at Chinatown's L.A. State Historic Park was my second favorite location because it was close to home, easy Metro train access, beautiful surroundings, and a ton of free parking. This concept was popular enough for others to imitate. The onsite staff were very charming and helpful. I found complete value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $16.00; no tip required). And, they accepted my credit card of choice...AMEX! 5.0 STARS

One of the things that made this theater special was the full-service experience. The 80s movie-themed atmosphere, extensive food and drink menu, and attentive servers made it feel like much more than a typical theater. Recently, they've switched to online ordering, and it has really changed the experience. Instead of quickly looking through a menu and placing an order with a server, you can end up spending much of the 30-minute pre-show period staring at your phone. That defeats part of the reason I come here in the first place. I've also noticed that the menu has been scaled back significantly. Some of my favorite items, including the breakfast sandwiches and other offerings, have disappeared. I used to recommend this theater not only because of its movie-loving atmosphere but also because of the quality and variety of the food. I don't come here for standard movie-theater snacks. I come for the great food, good beer and cocktails, nostalgic atmosphere, and overall experience. If the new ownership continues cutting back on what made this place unique, they risk losing loyal regulars. At that point, I might as well go to AMC if I'm just looking for typical movie-theater food. I hope management listens to customer feedback and preserves the qualities that made this theater stand out.

This was my first time visiting this location. Parking is right behind the theater. I had a 7am…read moreviewing of the Odyssey (70mm) so when we entered the theater, popcorn and candy were not on the agenda, so I cannot rate that experience. We were in the "premium" seating upstairs. We had to make our way to the 3rd floor to enter. "Premium" seating does not have reclining seats. Granted...the seating chart mentions "Recliner" at the bottom but when you have "premium" seats, I would think that would be included. IT'S NOT. They are generally comfortable seats but do not recline. I am looking over the balcony at people reclining their seats with tray tables, etc. I was annoyed but lesson learned, I guess? The theater was clean and the movie was great. Definitely recommend watching in 70mm, if that's how a film is made. NOTE: Movie is 3 hours long. I arrived around 6:45a. (The movie started about 7:30a after previews) The theater does validate your parking ticket. After the validation, I paid $8.80.

Our party…read morerecently came here to see The Odyssey and I had to take time off from work because I was only able to find available seats for a 3 PM showing on a weekday. [Parking]: Regal LA Live will validate parking for up to 4 hours for $8 plus 10% tax using one of the scanners inside the theater, but visitors must park at the West Garage (Lot W) Gates E and F only (1015 Georgia St). [Amenity]: I am not a fan of how the concession stands are set up here. The main lobby has only one line for the sole concession stand. It also has a separate concession bar with no line. There is another concession stand in the IMAX 70mm waiting area, but it was not serving anything during our visit. There is a water fountain right next to the restroom, but it was not working. [Tickets]: The IMAX 70mm auditorium has two types of tickets - Reserved (reclining seats from Rows A through K) and Balcony (non-reclining seats from Rows AA through GG). $31.99 per person for a Reserved ticket to a weekday 3 PM showing plus an additional convenience fee on Fandango. Regal's website was buggy and I was not able to use a Regal Groupon code for the IMAX 70mm showing, so I recommend sticking with Fandango for a smooth purchasing experience. [Seating]: Our party sat in Row I and I would say those reclining seats were quite comfortable. [Conclusion]: No complaints about the actual IMAX 70mm showing, but one star off for paid parking (other IMAX 70mm locations like Regal Irvine Spectrum & IMAX in Irvine and Regal Edwards Ontario Palace & IMAX in Ontario offer free parking) & one star off for the non-ideal concession setup & another star off for the non-functional water fountain.

THIS IS THE PERFECT VENUE FOR A VAMPIRE ROCKSTAR…read more Meaning that it's the perfect venue for Kamijo! If you don't know who he is, definitely look up his solo work, his work in Lareine and Versailles, you will NOT be disappointed. Paid parking all around, but if you're brave and willing to circle around and walk a bit, free street parking is possible. Due to an accident on the freeway, we barely made it here 10-15 minutes before the show, and most people were already let in, but security was pretty efficient and checking in was very quick too. There's drinks, concessions (it's a theater, you know), and the merchandise was strangely being sold in the middle area when you enter and exit, but staff was situated to direct people and assist you at every line and entrance into the theater. We got orchestra seating right before the balcony ends and with the sloping of the seats, we were able to see decently well, even if our seats weren't the best of the best. I guess, based on the crowd and the audience, even though we had assigned seating, everyone ended up standing up for the entire performance. A bit strange, but less stressful in a sense that you don't necessarily have to camp there super early as your seat is already assigned (you would have to though if you wanted any of the sold out merch...). We were lucky enough that there weren't any super tall people in front of us. Lighting was great, sound quality was amazing and at no point did any instrumentals or the vocals get drowned out. But the most impressive part was the architecture. Absolutely gorgeous. Probably the most favorite of all of the venues I've been to thus far. I can see why Kamijo chose this theater. It's perfect for an immortal vampire like himself. I wish we got there a bit earlier (not just only for merch), but for the opportunity to take photos which I saw a lot of people do. The lovely hanging chandeliers, the painted ceilings, aged gold archways, the Spanish Gothic style modeled after Spain's Segovia Cathedral. It didn't feel like we were in LA anymore after stepping in. So much history in this building from the 1920's . When you're in there, look up, look around, it's just so intricately and beautifully designed. Apparently the restrooms had a powder room too, so nice! I would love to go to another event here in the future.

I was excited about this event and then discouraged when I read all the Yelp reviews. But I'm glad…read morewe went and loved it! Here's how things went for me: I bought our tickets 6/8/26 for the 1:30pm showing, on 6/18/26 I received an email advising that our showtime had been moved to 6:30pm for the same date. On 6/24/26 I received a follow up email because I had forgotten to respond to the initial email regarding the time change. Two days beforehand I received a reminder. Day of. I checked in and things moved smoothly. It was a small venue, smaller than I anticipated and I think some people may have felt a bit squished with the lack of space, but my friend and I were personally fine. There was a bar where you could get sodas and alcoholic drinks BEFORE the movie. Once the movie started you were not allowed to get additional drinks (which was fine with us). All meals and drinks were brought out promptly during the scenes they were related to. All the servers were great and explained their roles and what was expected before the movie started. Reading through some of the reviews, I was surprised by the people complaining about tipping as if that wasn't mentioned on the site or the email confirmation. The price of the ticket does NOT include tip. You can tip in cash or there's a QR code on the back of the menu you can scan to leave a tip. My friend and I personally had a great time and the food and drinks were great; some people even came dressed up. It sucks that others didn't have that same outcome and I'm in no way diminishing their experience, but when it's done right, it's done right.

I'm extremely disappointed with the lack of communication from Fork n' Film…read more I previously attended Fork n' Film and genuinely enjoyed the experience, which is why my friend and I were excited to attend again. Unfortunately, I have now spent days trying to get assistance with a booking/rescheduling issue and have received absolutely no response. I have sent multiple emails, submitted the contact form through the website, and reached out through Instagram. I also tried emailing the Los Angeles email address provided, but my messages bounced back. Despite repeatedly trying to contact the company through multiple channels, no one has acknowledged my messages or offered any assistance. I was specifically trying to get help with the Coco showing, but the website would not allow me to add general admission tickets when I initially tried to reschedule. The showing is now sold out, and my original question and booking concerns still have not been addressed. It is incredibly frustrating and concerning to have already spent money with a business and be unable to reach anyone for basic customer support. I did not want to leave a negative review, especially because I enjoyed my previous experience, but I genuinely do not know what else to do to get a response. I am still hoping someone from Fork n' Film will contact me and help resolve this situation.

Pictures def don't do it justice so just do a favor and go. The theater has been lovingly restored and cared for. The intricate molding and art on the walls and the ceiling are truly some of the prettiest I've ever seen. A large concession and bar area. Gorgeous lighting and typical theater seating (plan on getting your feet stepped on because aisle space for your feet and legs is non existent but this is consistent with every theater I've ever been to). We were in orchestra seating and the views were incredible. Seats were comfortable and while I can't personally attest it appeared there'd be no truly bad seat in the place when it came to viewing the stage. If you have a chance to attend a show here, it's well worth the experience.
