V M.

I love this place so much. You can see how thoughtful they were with planning the space and construction and details and materials. Truly a gorgeous place to be in. Also the menu, beer, wine, food, all so well done. We got the schnitzel, mackerel, sauerkraut, cucumber and potato salad, eggplant, birthday cake. All was super delicious. We often eat fish at restaurants and struggle with it and we were so happy and surprised to see chopsticks. The cucumber and potato salad was flavored perfectly. The mackerel was amazing. The only critical feedback was the schnitzel was the least exciting when usually fried food is my favorite. It was almost too thin as if I was mostly eating breaded parts and flavor felt very mild. Maybe a tad more salt or garlic? Anyway, just my 2 cents if helpful. A 5 out of 5 overall. Really excited to bring more family and friends.

The server here was very friendly and helpful. The setup and ambience were also great. The food was overpriced. Would only come back here for a drink

Oktoberfest beer and a menu.

The 4 stars is for atmosphere, the nice October weather and our friendly server that took our order. I think I'll go an unofficial 3 stars on the rest. Street parking is tough but across sunset and jaywalking works out. They have valet, but that's not for me. There isn't anyone to greet you or tell you how it works. I think you can either order at the little window or sit, or you can grab a menu , sit, flag a server and get it done tableside. I laughed when she described the food options. "Schnitzel with a side of lemon." Lemon isn't a side, so a big ol' flat piece of breaded pork on a plate, nothing else, ok. "What do you suggest as a side?" I asked. "The local favorite salad is the daikon, and it is raw, seasoned with salt and pepper." You know, I think the locals have forgotten what food is. We split an enormous pork schnitzel and a scoop of potato salad. Both very tasty, I mean the food was really good, it was just served so un-German-ly or even un -Asian fusion or whatever we're going for here. I need some sauce and some sides, not just a plate of meat. Here is what I would do. Rather than give you a pizza sized piece of pork for $36, split it in half and fill the other side of the plate with that scoop of potato salad and a pile of that dry daikon. I feel sure that whoever fried this tasty pork can make some kind of sauce for it. If we can't get a nice chicken fried steak gravy or maybe a mustard sauce, then just something to give it a little wet, please. Some review described this as a work in progress, I kind of get that. I don't mind paying table side in advance, but an 18/20/25% tip structure on people dropping off food to your table on a patio with no heaters in sight? I wish you'd started with 10%, no one checked in and we had to get our own water. The Oktoberfest beer was solid though. Good luck.

What a beautiful outdoor space. Love the chill and laidback vibe here! I'm not usually a fan of mackerel but this is unlike anything I've had! Not fishy, delicious and a must try. You can order at the counter or wait for someone to come to your table. Everyone is friendly. Valet only. Kid and pet friendly. Very popular spot on Saturdays!

Loved the ambiance! A bit pricey for what it is, but the service was great and the food was good! The very chill vibe and all outdoor seating is such a welcome addition to the neighborhood. Loved.

This place is the most stunning secret for only the moment in my neighborhood of Echo Park. The garden and the beer is delicious. I did not eat the food as of yet but will return stop there on a walk in 105° LA uncomfortable weather, and went into this absolute paradise as you go up the stairs to beautiful. Food looks fantastic. Can't wait to return.

It's great for a large group gathering. It's all outdoor seating, I love that they provide flannel blankets and have heat lamps.

Nice place to hang out for a drink. The food is good but a bit on the pricey side. The German cuisine isn't real authentic but still tasty.

Bia Om - Grilled Mackerel

Bia Om is a low service biergarten across from the Echo Park Guisados, with a great patio and food…read morethat is much better than necessary. I went for a big casual Sunday birthday dinner a couple weeks back, and it worked pretty well for that occasion. We had a 7:00 reservation for a dozen or so people, and were able to claim two adjacent tables. Service was super informal and, honestly, not very good. The staff was pleasant enough, but they were slow and inattentive on what seemed like a calm night, and it was annoying that we had to close out every time we ordered anything. I was also surprised when we got kicked out promptly at 9:00. Worth keeping in mind if you're trying to come for a leisurely dinner. The space was ideal, though, laid back and charming, lots of greenery and an easy, relaxing vibe. It felt like a good place for a flexible, open-ended meet-up, where people could show up at different times, for food or drink or just to hang out. A specific genre of bar/restaurant, but one that comes in handy now and then. Also, I met a cute basset hound named Nacho. Drinks were solid and unfussy, beer and wine and soft drinks only. I got a glass of chilled red and a mug of Helles Munich-style pale ale, both nice. There was a varied food menu that was not what I expected, given the Vietnamese name (a "bia om" being, apparently, a sort of Vietnamese hostess bar). It felt very biergarten Germanic, with some pastas and salads and other random items thrown in. I liked the pretzel and the accompanying obazda, a homemade mashed cheese spread. The steckerlfisch was delicious, a whole grilled mackerel served with rye bread, chili, lemon, and gremolata. My husband's grilled lamb chops were great, too, tender and flavorful, also served with gremolata. I also tried a bite of the cheese noodles, which were as advertised: rich, cheesy oven-baked potato noodles. We had a lovely evening at Bia Om, and I'm sure I'll be back for another low-key beer-centric hang-out. I'm curious about the sausages, and next time I'll be ready to leave when the clock strikes nine.

But Bia Om in Echo Park goes all-in on the outdoor dining concept. Bia Om (which literally translates in Vietnamese to "beer hug", but refers to a seedy, red-light beer bar) is a poor name to describe this posh, German-leaning beer garden. Bia Om is hard to spot, especially without any eye-catching signage on an otherwise high-speed block of Sunset. Street parking is limited, so you'll probably end up nabbing a spot on an adjacent alleyway. A sleek outdoor stairway opens up into the vast, all-brick patio space. Trim wooden benches are pressed up to all-wood tables, and trees spring from tiny gravel planters flush with the floor. The adjacent mid-century modern shack is off-limits except for stage members. Jovial chatter fills the air. I visited with a large party for Friday dinner and drinks, and the well-manicured patio immediately took my breath away. However, the experience fell back to earth once we started ordering. The service was friendly but criminally slow; drinks took nearly 30 minutes to arrive, while food took closer to 45. Further, several of our orders were frankly forgotten. Broadly, the food was under-seasoned, under-flavored, under-portioned, and overpriced. The best dish of the night was, ironically, the totally non-German Rigatoni Bolognese, packing a rich, meaty sauce and al dente noodles. I also enjoyed the flavorful Rostbratwurste, which were perfectly sized for sharing across a large party. Otherwise, the rest of the German-forward dishes were bland or off-putting. The Flammkuchen (a German "pizza") had a crispy but flavorless crust decorated with specks of bacon and onion; it never exceeded the sum of its parts. The Obazda (Camembert spread) was vibrant in color and flavor, but the accompanying soft pretzel was tough and under-seasoned. The Gravlax Bread was a huge whiff; the soft white bread felt store-bought, and the subtle salmon was overwhelmed by the mustardy spread. The signature Stecherlfisch (whole grilled mackerel) was similarly dull and one-dimensionally fishy. The remaining dishes, like the Fennel and Pear Salad, Grilled Lamb Chops, and Tiramisu, were wholly standard and forgettable. Lastly, nothing about the brewed-in-house beer menu. I won't deny that Bia Om is one of the nicer patios in the city, and I appreciate how seamlessly they can "accommodate" a large party. However, the food and service felt amateur at best. I wouldn't return, and I couldn't reasonably recommend this spot even in a pinch.

We got the Poet's Dream for $16 and El Camino for $16. Both drinks were really strong and tasted pretty good. The El Camino was very similar to an old fashioned. Felt the drinks were good for the price. They start the music at 10pm. There a line forming outside by 10pm. They let people upstairs shortly after the music started. We were able to sit on the couch upstairs. The place got packed really fast. Unfortunately, it got really hot. We left at 11:30pm and saw that the line reached the Hill Street.

My friend surprised me and bought me a birthday shot last night, it was really good! He said he ordered us green tea shots! Very flavorful, sweet, and kinda strong too (but maybe that's because we were both running on lowk empty stomachs haha). They also always have water dispensers stationed on both floors :) The security guard (bouncer?) is friendly, always offering greetings as you enter and leave There's plenty of restroom stalls (two private ones downstairs, a larger one with a BEAUTIFUL fountain sink & full body mirror upstairs) Vibes are immaculate! Low lighting, background music, plenty of seating Highly recommend!
