    Kielbasa with caramelized onions and sweet peppers
    Candace C.

    Wurstküche is consistently great! The menu is pretty straightforward - sausages in 3 categories: Classics, Gourmet and Exotics. They are served as hot dogs with two toppings of choice (extras for 75 cents each). Belgian fries are available in small or large sizes with 1 or 2 dipping sauces included respectively, with an option to add more for 75 cents each. I especially love the curry ketchup! There are sausage options for every mood. The descriptions of the type of meat and flavor profile of each sausage option on the menu are clearly explained. There are also vegetarian options available. I've enjoyed every kind I've tried here! I'm partial to the kielbasa and Filipino maharlika, but you really can't go wrong. I've tried quite a few of these. The exotics are fun if you're feeling adventurous! The fries are delicious. They're double fried - thick and crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Regular ketchup and a variety of mustards are available at the tables. There is also a pretty extensive beverage menu of Belgian, German and Austrian draft and bottled beers and other drinks including cocktails, wine and non-alcoholic options. You order at the counter, they give you a number and you walk in (to the left!) to a large indoor seating area with a bar. They also have an outdoor patio. You seat yourself. The tables are lined with paper, and they have cups of crayons on the tables. They bring your order to the table, and they also take your finished trays. There is a water tap and cups to get your own water. It's a casual environment with efficient service and turnaround. I'm always happy during and after a meal at Wurstküche!

    Louisiana Hot Link, Filipino Maharlika, Duck & Bacon with Jalapeo Peppers Groot Fries truffle

    I've been going to this place for years and decided to have my birthday dinner there this past weekend. It was super easy to reserve some tables by calling ahead and the staff was kind enough to accommodate. You order your food up front and then find a place to sit. There's a huge patio, indoor space, stage area with seats, and a partially enclosed room that's semi-private. I usually order the Louisiana hot link (and often crave it) but this time I added the Filipino sausage. It was a good surprise and a little sweet. Also, opted for some fries - ya gotta add truffle to them! Tried a few beer samples at the front and opted for a sour beer which was tasty. This place is always a good vibe. Not too loud and jovial enough to have a great time with friends. Lots of street parking available and I usually don't have any trouble finding any spots.

    Hot Italian

    Quick service, excellent food, and a shockingly large amount of seating! The entrance is a little confusing, but you order at the door on the right and walk left down the hallway to seating. The outside door on the left leads you directly to the bar and seating area. They have a good Belgian and German beer selection, as well as a very wide variety of bratwurst. I tried the Hot Italian and a Duvel, and I can't wait to go back and try others.

    Came here for a 30th birthday, we got our own section which was such a nice experience!! My husband got us the rabbit hot dog, unfortunately while it was good nearly everyone who got the rabbit was throwing up from food poisoning so I'd maybe not go for that one! The ambiance and staff were great it was just unfortunate for everyone to be sick at golf the next day.

    We tried Wurstküche after arriving in LA, and right off the bat you could tell it's a really cool spot to stop in for a bite and a beer. Decided to try something a little different and went with the duck and bacon with jalapenos, it hit the spot. Not too fatty or heavy on the duck taste, just the right balance with the jalapenos too. My son got an original bratwurst and that is a solid option if you don't want to go off the beaten path. Fries were crispy the and sauces are fun to try. They also have lots of great beer options. Staff was really friendly, my kid left his water bottle there and they kept it safe for us to go pick it up on the way out. Overall a really positive experience, worth the stop when you're in the area.

    We were so lucky to find this place. It sells the best sausages in California. We love them all and wow do they have a lot to choose from. We love eating there. The place is super clean and really cute and comfortable. The outside exterior is very nice as well. The service is super good. They are fast and know their menu. They have great fries. They also sell beer and some imported. But what you want is a sausage sandwich. They are served hot and just great. We love their simple BRATWURST, which is fine cuts of pork, coriander with some nutmeg. Their BOCKWURST is yummy veal and pork. Also try some of their hard to find elsewhere ones, like RATTLESNAKE & RABBIT with JALAPEÑO PEPPERS. It is very buttery and a tad spicy. The PHEASANT with HERBS DE PROVENCE is just great. Everything they have is wonderful. You can have it delivered or do take away. What we really love is you can buy uncooked sausages there. We do that a lot. You can make your own sandwiches, add them to your pizza or put them with pasta. They are just the best. Whenever we go we stock up. They freeze well. You will love this place.

    This was our first time at the Venice location, we had only been to the Arts district one. We really enjoyed our meal and the vibes. This is a great place to catch up with a friend or unwind after a long day.

    Bratwurst and fries
    Jim E.

    Braut was good, onions were over done, hot peppers were very mild. Fries were over salted and over cooked. At about $20 for a braut and fries, a little expensive for lunch, add in a beer and tip and you are right at $30.00. Staff was friendly and attentive, indoor and outdoor seating. Might give them another try one day

    Filipino sausage with hot peppers and onions, plus Groot Fries
    Sarah K.

    Not even a sausage fan, but you cannot beat this place when it comes to food and vibes. The variety of sausages (particularly the Filipino one), the toppings, the delicious crispy chunky fries, the variety of sauces and mustards, the paper on table to color on, and the friendly vibe. Plus, game nights. Only one thing I wish they had, which is IPA and colder beer. HOWEVER, I respect them for staying true to their German origins. Great place if you're super hungry and looking for a social, friendly environment.

    Haven't been here since 2004x the ordering was fast and had to try the sour beers, Duchesse, ordered small Fries,, chicken and apple, with sauerkraut, spicy Italian with sauerkraut and peppers. All delicious and filling.

    Groot Fries
    Meghan R.

    This is one of my friend groups's favorite places to go on a Friday night. Good food and good drinks, what more can you ask for? I love the mango habanero sausage. I'd usually go for topping (particularly sweet and spicy peppers) for some extra zing but have a tendency to have more topping on my plate than in my buns, so it's a bit of a messy eat. Just one sausage is not quite enough for meal so definitely get some fries or a second sausage if you're there for dinner. Loads of great beer options, and if you're alcohol free, the cucumber soda is also excellent. The best part about this restaurant is the space. Lots of seating even for a larger party both indoors and outdoors. And whether you're a kid or adult so much fun to draw on the butcher paper with crayons! Lots of parking in the neighborhood a short 5 minute walk away.

    Ambiance: it has a chill and relax atmosphere, long bench tables inside good for large group hangout, outdoor seating with heater and fire pit, large tables are filled pretty quickly at night, and if you have a very large group reservation is recommended Service: you place the order at the counter, and grab the number tag and find your table and seats, servers will bring your food to where you sit, you can also order the beer with bartenders directly and you'll get it right away Food & Drink: standard Wurstküche menu for sausages and drinks, all sausage served on a roll, including your choice of two toppings from Caramelized Onions, Sauerkraut, Sweet Peppers, Spicy Peppers, and gourmet mustards of Whole Grain, Dijon, Spicy Brown, Honey Mustard, American Yellow KIELBASA - **** polish style, pork & beef, onions and spices, juicy and flavorful, recommend RATTLESNAKE & RABBIT WITH JALAPEÑO PEPPERS - *** buttery and mildly spicy, a bit dry, you can't really tell rattlesnake or rabbit flavors as all grounded meat to make the sausage, and the texture tasted like very lean chicken or turkey HOT ITALIAN - **** fine cuts of GMO free pork and spices, classic pick, recommend RABBIT & PORK WITH LEEKS & CARROTS - ** it's supposed to be light and clean, but in fact very weird gamey taste, wouldn't order again Belgian Fries - **** large size is good to share, tried sauces of BLEU CHEESE WALNUT & BACON, CHIPOTLE AIOLI, TZATZIKI (Greek yogurt sauce), PESTO MAYO, very crispy thick cut, recommend Duchesse Cherry - ** flanders red ale w/fresh cherries, too sour Aventinus - **** weizenbock, intense and complex, recommend Tokyo Wit - *** light taste BRLO German IPA - **** drinkable with hoppy tail, easy to drink and refreshing, recommend Price: moderate portions and pricey drinks, expect $30~$40 per person easily

    Do they open on Thanksgiving Day?

    A canola oil blend

    They offer some vegan sausages. Not too bad actually.

    Took some friends here who were visiting and wanted a Speakeasy experience…read more It was maybe 9:30/10pm on a Friday and it wasn't super busy. We were able to get a seat on the coach and order drinks from the bar relatively quickly. Prices were pretty typical of LA ($18-25 a cocktail) but I would say I probably won't come back this late as it's in a shadier part of town. They have a bouncer and it was fine inside, but it's not a place where you can bar hop if that's what you're looking for as the area is seedy. Would be interested to try the food next time, but again, the safety and comfort of the light of day.

    NOVEMBER 26.2025…read more I've been through many iterations of The Library Bar over the years... from small and cozy secret bar for those that work in the looming skyscrapers of Downtown LA to being some noisy urban hip hop affair that served godawful drinks (see my past review!), and on back to being a calm and casual neighborhood bar again. The interior never changes... dark... illuminated by candlelight... the bust of Shakespeare over the fireplace, the shelves of old books-- all of it remains intact. But this latest Library Bar seems to have finally dialed in what was always sorely missing in that it showcases a conscientious staff that all seem to know how to mix drinks while treating the customer well by leaving them be. On one night my date and I share a "Black Manhattan," basically a Manhattan with the generous addition of Averna, and it's terrific. On another night, I go for Happy Hour and a few pints of Guinness on draft that are surprisingly proper and go well with their excellent and, I'm told, homemade Hummus & Veggies Plate. The music at this current Library Bar is pretty much on point and is never so loud as to interfere with the conversations that patrons seem to come here for... something you should come here for too, and maybe at Happy Hour specifically if you're looking for a nice bump in your day and to spend an hour, well, happily.

The food is so delicious and for a reasonable price. Specifically, the skewers after you get a drink. I always eat the pork belly skewers and the beef short rib. The best part about it is that they leave the stick out of it, so it just comes as a plate of meat. My favorite is the Korean Tteokbokki with Ramen noodles. It is so well seasoned, and it is a guilty pleasure of mine. It also has many pieces of kimchi. The corn cheese is yummy and great as a side of anything that you get there. They also give you a free cabbage soup to start that is so flavorful in itself! I also love the ambience as well as the decorations and set up of the restaurant

    Saturday night, 6 PM was date night…read more We waited 50 minute wait for a table. Parking was cheap and easy, valet parking for $5 cash, $8 Zelle or Venmo. The valet guys were really nice and friendly. Service was good for how busy they were. Services were well informed when we asked questions. It was our first time there, and had lots of questions. Food was good, not great, but food quality matched the price of the food. In order to order from the skewers menu, we were told we had to buy at least one alcoholic drink. I wasn't planning on getting a beer that night, but I did. Inside the restaurant, it's low comfy lighting. I did not take pictures of our food because of the lighting. I didn't want to mess parties around us by hitting them with the flash. We enjoyed our meal cell phone free. Dan Sung Sa was even busier after we finished our meal. With so many options in KTown, I would not consider going back for date night, but would when going in a large group of friends. Dan Sung Sa was vibing with tons of positive energy and drinks.
