    Back patio with lounge area and picnic tables
    Kirsten M.

    This is not just a regular bar. There is a gorgeous back patio space full of picnic tables that feels like a hidden gem in the LA scene. The first time I went, my friend and I brought a puzzle, ordered drinks, and just enjoyed the atmosphere. Since then, I've loved bringing people there because the food is great and you can easily talk to each other. The staff is also incredibly kind and helpful.

    Tacos
    Robert D.

    Sorry Not Sorry is not just their name, it's their approach to customer service. I paid $75 per person for a private event, only to show up and find they had triple booked their venue and were therefore sorely understaffed. From the moment I walked in and had a cheap wristband carelessly tossed around my wrist to the TWO HOURS I waited for a drink, I could not be more disenchanted. The only bright spot was the tacos and the garlic fries were actually tasty. The cocktail, however, was not only not worth the wait, it wasn't even What I ordered. It's a shame because I really think the venue in the back could have been a really cute place to host an event if it weren't for the overpromised and underdelivered service. I wish I could say this was my first less-than-satisfied experience at SNS, but it was the third and final chance. My friends took me here for my birthday last year where we found out that the restrooms were out of service and were mislead to try the bathrooms next door--where we were promptly turned away. We eventually made our way to the Rosegold Saloon across the street in desperate search of a commode. That's where we finally got some decent service. So I really think that if you've read this review to this point, maybe just start there.

    Citrus salad
    Laura P.

    This is a bar with excellent food, rather than a restaurant with a bar... if that makes a clear distinction? The salads we'd both excellent: very fresh ingredients and wonderful dressing. Chicken wings were great (extra crispy), as was the kimchi quesadilla. The star of the show was my mocktail: you could never tell it wasn't a real Campari spritz. Would definitely come back for that alone! Bar ambiance, service was slow - I think perhaps a little understaffed. Service definitely was what made it feel like a bar- while friendly and nice, definitely not checking on you like you might expect in a full sit down restaurant. Street parking pretty easily available after 6.

    Servers were so attentive to our group even with us moving around outside. The keep calm and Collins on is a refreshing take on the strawberry matcha cocktail! Food is hot and they keep it simple and tasty. Most of the metered street parking is available after 6pm and even some of the street spots are free, but just expect to street park and walk in the very safe neighborhood.

    I was in the area and always been curious about the place so I popped in. The street parking is quite vicious, there is another restaurant next door and they offer valet but the street is too busy to notice it. I parked around the corner and got in the bar. As I walked in, it felt like I was visiting a strangers get together. It looked like a small speakeasy bar. The staff smiled but it was polite , not approachable. It looked like they just had a Christmas party and everyone was still in their personal fun mood. Not much chatting at the bar with me, the customer, but amongst the staff itself. I ordered a drink, the bartender made it and walked away. I noticed most of the staff were eating in the kitchen away from the main area and talking. Maybe they were still riled up from their Christmas party. One staff with glasses, sat next to me with his plate of food. No conversation, just two people next to each other. I ordered the "garlic" fries but there was barely any garlic. Not the greatest first encounter and I thought the drink, ginger all the way, was OK. Not sure if I would visit again but maybe they had an off night.

    Strawberry matcha gin cocktail and fish sauce margaritas
    Alice L.

    The drinks are expensive but unique and very tasty. I got a strawberry matcha gin cocktail and my friends for the fish sauce margarita - both were great and we had never had anything like that before. Their menu seems to switch out frequently as both were not written on the menu itself and some of the cocktails we asked for that were in the menu were not actually available. The bartender and servers are very friendly though, so make sure to ask what they are currently serving!

It had a cool vibe and tons of allocated bottles on the bar (tequila and whiskey and whisky to name a few categories). The staff greeted us quickly and supplied us with some menus. I opted for the Idyllwild cocktail and loved it! It had the most complementary flavors and was so refreshing with the bourbon, yuzu, chartreuse, honey, and lemon flavors. My husband opted for a neat Caballito Cerrero Puntas pour (high proof agave spirit). They only had 0.5 Oz for their bottle and only charged for the partial pour. People came in and ordered anything from cocktails to neat pours to flights. It was a cool spot and the bartenders seemed pretty well versed in different cocktails, giving a few suggestions to different patrons.

I'd definitely be down to try more drinks here if we roll through again. Luckily, we found some close street parking and it wasn't super busy so we easily found parking in the area.

It's an intimate and comfortable setting, with only around 14 seats available.

They balanced perfectly executed dishes with warm hospitality, keeping all the guests happy in the meantime.

Very limited seating with 3 tables and 6 high chairs at the Chef's counter so reservations are de rigueur. Executive Chef Yoshida and General Manager Ishiba set the pace in friendly, warm service. There is a short course Kaisèki-Omakasè (oh mah kah seh) seating at 5pm and a full course at 7pm. The Kaisèki-Omakasè start on time so make sure to arrive on time or be left behind. As is typical of high-end Japanese restaurants, the seasons are recognized in terms of ingredients as well as touches of seasonal motif on ceramic accoutrements. So wonderful that DineLA on occasion brings to attention a restaurant so finely tuned in exquisite, understated, elegant cuisine. Our limited menu was full of revelatory morsels that really hit the mark. 1) Basket of Appetizers: A) Gindara/Sable fish marinated, sweet Kasu Zukè lightly grilled that was flakey, buttery, fatty. Bit of finely grated Daikon radish to add "spiciness". B) Tamago Yaki: Moist, eggy, egg omelet, whisper of sweetness. C) Compressed chicken thigh "torchon". Like a baked sausage with some parts plush and other parts more meaty and firm. Good Jidori chicken flavour. Fatty, chewy, thin skin acts as the casing. D) Panko bread crumb encrusted Kazu no Ko Kombu/cod roe on kelp leaf cube fried in oil. Exercise in popping, crunchy texture with faint sea vegetable scent. E) Poached dried apricot, touch of creamy Tōfu purée topped with a sweet black bean symbolizing good health. F) Dashi/broth braised ice berg lettuce, scattering of Shirasu/salted micro baby fish fry & Katsuo Bushi/shaved, dried Bonito flakes adds more sea Umami. G) Goma Dōfu: Not made from soy bean but made from Kuzu. Texture is smooth, gooey, plush, touch sticky in sweet Shōyu/soy sauce, Mirin/sweet Sakè, Dashi. Touch of freshly ground Wasabi root adds an aromatically pungent counterpoint. 2) Chawan Mushi/egg custard soup: Complex construction. Silky, Dashi infused ultra soft, savory custard hides velvety sea scallops along with crunchy toasted rice. An Kakè (ah kah keh) Sauce Velouté that is also silky, velvet is poured on top. We opted for Truffe Noir de Périgord/French black truffle hand shaved over the Chawan Mushi for nutty, earthy, nubby textural effect. This may be Asakura's chef-d'oeuvre, signature dish. 3) Osetra Caviar comes out of a smoke box for a magical, dramatic effect performed by Chef Yoshida. The capelli d'angelo/angel hair wheat pasta is al dente in a soupçon of rich meaty Dashi. The Osetra is creamy, sweet, cherry wood smoked with a touch of sea saltiness. Another must get. 4) A5 Wagyū from Kyōto is a tenderloin cut with less fat and more plush beefiness in a Sauce demi-glace made with earthy, black garlic and beef bouillon on a bed of sweet parsnips purée. Coming down to earth, steamed rice, Miso soup, salt brined pickles round out and conclude the main meal. 1-4a) When I asked for a good bottle of Sakè (sah keh) to pair with the Omakasè, General Manager Ishiba suggested Hakurakusèi Tokubetsu Junmai class, Shinshu/new Sakè. Neutral bouquet, subtle taste of apples, subliminal bitterness, minerality. Finish was ephemeral as well to clear the palate without a strong, lingering echo. The Japanese term Jōhin comes to mind connoting well mannered, high class. 5) Coffee scented Blancmange which is a light pudding. Simple, refreshing dessert to end this well modulated, complex meal. The Omotènashi/Japanese style hospitality and sensibilities is very evident. Food here is right on target as to what Asakura aims to accomplish. Finely honed cuisine rooted in tradition yet napped by more modern concepts informed by diverse, international influences. Definitely a 5 star experience catering to discerning palates that appreciate nuanced, well thought out cuisine often clothed in sybaritic ingredients. Perhaps an Étoile is on the way. .
