    Loved the drinks!
    Mina M.

    I absolutely loved this restaurant. The tuna bowl was so hearty and plentiful. The tofu soup was my fav dish. Super comforting! The crudo item was small and skippable. All the drinks were delish. Loved the cucumber one. Very refreshing. Also loved the slushie. Ambiance is cute for a date night. Service was good albeit a little slow to get the check at the end. Would go back.

    Beef tofu soup
    Aileen H.

    Pricey, nice ambaiance, street or valet parking. Service was just alright. Our waiter forgot we were there to celebrate my friend's birthday. The kimchi pancake was delicious! I got the beef tofu soup, a bit different from the traditional one, still good - it was pricey compared to tofu soup at other places. My friend got the cream chicken broth and fresh noddles, no chicken just chicken broth. We also got the grapefruit sorbet and it was tart. All in all, not bad, pretty good food just on the pricey side. Noisy inside and a bit of lackluster service. I didn't feel taken care of.

    Got to try a relatively new restaurant (opened Nov '25) in Sawtelle the other night, and it turned into a delightful dinner. The kitchen is led by Curtis Park, a former chef from the three-Michelin-starred Benu in San Francisco. The concept is to bring modern Korean bistro-style offerings to the Sawtelle district. The space has a laid-back vibe with a variety of seating options--bar, community table, and booths. There's also a covered outdoor seating area in the back. We tried a few items, but the highlights were the acorn noodles (salted cucumber, toasted nori, perilla oil) and the short rib. The noodles had a great chewy texture with a refreshing flavor profile. The beef short rib was incredibly tender, rich, and savory--definitely reinforcing my belief that meat closest to the bone tastes the best. The bluefin tuna bibimbap (trout roe, crisp vegetables, rice) tasted fresh, with a well-balanced ratio of ingredients that made it a solid dish. The fried chicken wings (half plain, half soy garlic + sweet chili sauce) are their highly rated Korean-American take on crispy wings. I'd come back just for these--they're easy to get hooked on. One dish we didn't order but will try next time is the soy-marinated blue prawns with pollock roe, barley rice, and dried seaweed. It sounded intriguing, but with a party of three... decisions, decisions. Parking in Sawtelle is tough, so be careful with street parking--some spots are residents-only. Wishing The Mulberry all the best. We'll definitely be back--safe to say we're fans.

    Beautiful interior and ambiance, paired with truly great service. I especially appreciated how attentive the staff was, they offered to replace plates before we even had to ask, which made the whole experience feel seamless and thoughttul. We ordered quite a variety marinated blue prawn, kimchi pancake, steamed dumplings, fried chicken, tofu soup, beef short rib, acorn noodles, beef tartare hot stone, and pork ribs. Almost everything was excellent. The only slight letdown was the pork ribs they were good, but not amazing, a bit on the fatty and sweeter side than expectea. To end the meal, we had the dessert pancake, which was absolutely delicious and a perfect finish. Overall, a fantastic dining experience. Highly recommend!

    I've been trying to get a reservation here since it opened so I was excited to finally get to try it! The Mulberry is a cozy, intimate restaurant with limited seating. Great Korean-inspired dishes. My favorite was definitely the acorn noodle - loved the chewy texture of the noodle, and the perilla oil and seaweed gave the dish a clean, refreshing flavor. I got the Sikhye Slushie, which was tasty, though wish it tasted more like sikhye. All in all though, I would love to come back to try the rest of the menu.

    The Mulberry is one of LA's extra trendy modern Korean food joints, and I was lucky enough to snag a coveted reservation. With a chic saloon vibe and very attentive service, you just know you're going to be in for a treat from the moment you enter. So did the food live up to the hype? Pretty much! Everything was presented beautifully, which, you know... the eyes eat first. But the range of flavors went from "nice" to "oh my gawd". My favorite, by far, was the short rib ("oh my gawd"). Perfectly tender, with a slight chew, and a very subtle sweetness that elevated the meat. I'm drooling just thinking about it. My table was having a hard time being polite over that last bite, but I was lucky enough to snag it because we all ate too much, and I was willing to go over that edge. Other standouts included the steak tartare bibimbap (don't mix the meat in), the exceptionally crisp and savory Korean fried chicken, the puchy and texturally divine kimchi pancake, and the acorn noodles with its refreshing, umami and heat union. Also, the cheesecake was so creamy and kind of blew my mind. Definitely my favorite dessert. The hotteok was crispy and tasty but not as memorable in this case (more filling would make a difference). The virgin sikhe slushie was also incredibly refreshing. While I enjoyed everything I ate, I'd focus on these favorites for my next visit. The cherry on top though was our amazing server! He was so sweet and attentive and worked closely with our table to accommodate food restrictions. So this was an instance where social media got it right for me. The Mulberry - I see you, girl. And I'll be back for your vibes and tasty bites.

    Finally got a reservation!

    I was so excited when I finally got a dinner reservation at The Mulberry on Sawtelle It's at the very end in a couple blocks further than the main row of restaurants but this new gym in the heart of this amazing Asian culinary neighborhood, is such a great spot for an intimate meal with friends or date night Everything we ordered was a complete 10 out of 10.. from presentation, flavor, and quality of ingredients. For me the stellar items for the short rib main dish, the corn noodles and the most surprising dish marinated prawn starter. It was my friend's birthday and so I arranged for them to surprise her with one of their desserts in a candle which was such a nice touch to our meal. Our server Michelle was amazing...he was so kind, attentive and made our first meal at The Mulberry so special. Go try this spot as soon as you can!

    What an amazing experience at The Mulberry. I'll be the first to admit that Korean fine dining usually isn't my go to for the Korean experience. Mainly because Korean food is predominately street food. But wow did Mulberry knock my socks off. We started off with the kimchi pancake and the fluffy egg. Immaculate. The flavors and the textures of the two dishes were phenomenal. For the mains we had the spicy black cod as well as the short rib. The cod was a nice homage to braised cod which is typically a stew. Slight heat but on the sweet side as well. The steak was cooked to perfection. I'm assuming it was sous vide and then finished off on the grill. The glaze they had on the steak was sweet and savory. Perfection. For dessert we had the sorbet and the hotteok. Both desserts made for an amazing end to an amazing meal. If you decide to stop by, definitely try to book a reservation a few days in advance. We came right when it opened and got extremely lucky and was able to get a table. The staff were amazing and the owner of the restaurant made his rounds to all his guests that evening. He made sure everything was perfect.

    Acorn noodles
    Callie S.

    Delicious menu and beautiful ambiance in this restaurant. A few flaws: The inside of the restaurant was too hot for the night that we had the heatwave and it seemed like there was no AC on. So I'd book outdoor seatings next time to avoid the stuffiness inside. They said they were fully booked on a Thursday night so we sat at the bar but there was a table for 2 empty the WHOLE TIME we were there. Maybe they needed to do better with managing tables and bookings? Food highlights were the acorn noodles and the beef tartar bibimbap. Both were delicious and cooked perfectly (10/10). The Caesar's salad has very hard to chew pieces of rice in it which threw me off. The dumplings were also pretty good but I've def had better ones elsewhere. Will definitely be back with a booking next time. Their cocktail menu also seems very yummy!

    Fried chicken
    Stefany W.

    I came here for dinner because I heard lots of positive things. Unfortunately the food was mid. We got the oysters to start and these were probably the smallest oysters I have ever seen in my life. And for that price point? Absurd. Then we got the chilled acorn noodles. These were decent. We also got two mains: fried chicken and the short rib. The short rib had fantastic flavor but it was more fat than meat. Literally half of each piece was inedible because it was just fat. The fried chicken was probably my favorite dish. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Overall the food was mid with lots of misses. Don't think I'll be back since the price point for these mid dishes is not worth.

    Where do I begin? The Mulberry is INCREDIBLE and needs to be added to your list of places to try immediately! We walked in on a Saturday night around 7pm and while we were estimated a 45-60 minute wait, it really only ended up being about 30 which was awesome! The decor inside is beautiful, and the vibes and ambiance were just perfect. We were seated at the bar, but on the end which was more of a low chef's table with bench seating and it was perfect. I honestly think I'd prefer that over the main seating or regular bar. We had a view of the kitchen and could see all the action, and had our own little private table feeling even though we were sitting at the bar. Truly everything we ordered was amazing. We started with the caesar salad which was one of the best I've had. We also got a side of the kimchi which was delicious. The kimchi pancake was really good, but compared to everything else, was the least exciting of what we ordered. The dumplings were perfect, and the steak tartare was amazing. I loved that the longer it was in the dish, the rice got crispy and the steak tartare almost cooked itself. It was DELICIOUS. The star of the show, however, was the short rib. This was truly one of the best things I've ever had. I will be dreaming about that dish and can't wait to come back! Overall 5 stars and absolutely perfect. The speed of the dishes coming out was great, and the service was wonderful.

    I went to this place because my friends saw overhyped reels about it. I looked at the menu and omg the food sounds so ordinary. Kimchi pancakes, chicken wings, I could get these anywhere else. We booked from Resy and the booking was hard to get. I don't know why. Free parking could easily be found one block each way at the freeway or the school. Do not waste your $12 to park here. What I like is the nice, romantic and cute atmosphere but that's it. Server spilled radish water on my friend's shirt when took the dish away. My friend thought she'd come back with a towel or so but nothing. I was gonna give this place 3 stars but my friend said they deserve 2 stars. Now for the food: Aguachile 2/5. It is so tiny. It comes with 6 tiny pieces of fish (1x1in^2 max). Chilled Acorn Noodle 2/5. According to my friend who is from South Korea, the perilla oil is supposed to hit super strongly. But we couldn't taste the oil at all. My friend knew it was hard to find perilla oil so she was skeptical to begin with. But I went ahead and order so she shared with me. Steak tartare 1/5. Steak tartare is supposed to be raw. But when it comes in a hot stone to mix as bibimbap, the steak got cooked quickly and became well done the moment it touched the hot stone. No more steak tartare. Who designed this dish? Because it is just beef bibimbap at this point. We weren't supposed to mix it but it comes as a bibimbap. Rice tea slushy 1/5. Is this horchata fusion or what because it has way too much cinnamon. Rice slushy doesn't have cinnamon. It tastes so strange but in a bad way. Overall all of us will not come back.

    Struggling to even make the reservation, it felt so satisfying finally able to try The Mulberry! We've been so intrigued knowing they're serving Korean fusion dishes. Still on soft opening, the menu selection was indeed bit limited but still decent list to choose from. The venue itself was more into classic elegant theme with covered patio by the side. Smaller group certainly worked better here knowing how new it's and obviously everyone's racing to try so it's busy even on weekdays. We had our reservation and still had to wait for roughly 10 minutes past our reservation time before we got seated. The server was fortunately friendly and accommodating. Just heads up, they're no-tipping policy but you'd be directly charged 18% on the bill. We tried their popular beef ribs along with souffle egg and got extra veggies and rice on the side just like how you typically went for kbbq (we knew this wasn't exactly same but don't judge us! LOL). The souffle egg was honestly okay to skip, nothing in particular to highlight and price was certainly steep for what you got. The ribs were must-try though, just like what everyone's raving about. It's balanced between lean meat and fat, cooked medium, serving tender and succulent beef slices that the picture didn't justify. Enjoying it with the salad side was surely perfect pairing. If you're into alcohol pairing and wanna go more Korean themed, you could try their soju and makgeolli selections. We went for their Sang Makgeolli, which was indeed lighter than typical Korean one, but satisfying enough.

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. Even making a few Espresso Martinis for a couple of girls that didn't really like their initial cocktails. Staff was cool, attentive, and pretty quick and efficient with the pours. 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 also wasn't super packed in the venue so we could've opted for other seating--lounge areas, a few tables, or just at the bar.

Most of the bars are dive bars in downtown Santa Monica, and parking is quite accessible for this place. So I'd recommend for that reason. In terms of the drinks, I'm a huge fan of cocktail but I would say their menu selections are a bit limited. Nothing in the signature cocktail looks interesting to me, so I had the bartender make a classic cocktail instead. He's very attentive and friendly, didn't take forever to get a drink either, no attitude. Drinks aren't watered down either. Nice! You come here to grab quick drinks when you don't feel like being at a loud dive bar in the area, it's in a hotel but not too upscale, no strict dress code. Music is not loud and they have couches and booth if bar table if not your thing, you don't have to yell or pretend you hear everything to hold a conversation here (lol). ** Keep in mind 20% gratuity is automatically included in bill, it's my first time here. But I think I've other spots I'd prefer to be in, even at Santa Monica. Wouldn't be self-motivated to come back because there are better places that specialises mixology, and there are also better upscale hotel bars to be at. But if you're around the area it's a great intimate bar for date night that's not overly pricey. Wouldn't travel all the way to here just for this (if you know what I mean).
