Nice little find in the Mall next to Macys DTLA. It's grilled meats and veggies which are one or two bites. The bigger plates for sharing like the Black Fried rice was just Ok. We saw people with the grilled short ribs that looked yummy if a little not he fatty side. we had corn (yum), Unagi , Avocado with tuna toast and the tuna was fresh tasting. You don't see Onigiri which is grilled rice balls on menus that often and this one was very tasty sitting in a small pool of dashi. Pickled veg was meh. chicken with green onion great. Service was sweet and friendly but we had to ask for water, an ordered plate came with the bill which wasn't cool but we accepted anyways. Like a lot of restaurants I think they are short staffed so be patient.

Guest service was amazing. Went there to celebrate my friend's birthday and they were attentive. The food was great. The Black rice with mushroom was really good. I would recommend it to people who like strong mushroom flavor.

Really enjoyed this meal ! We tried the avo tuna toast which was our favorite. The pork ribs were also a standout. We also had the black rice, salmon and bok choy- which were all tasty but I'd probably skip them next time and try other things. Everything that passed by our table looked very good. It felt a bit pricey for what it was - but I would come back.

The food was interesting, most of it tasty, service was good. We really enjoyed the corn fritters, the Hamachi was overly salty, the karage chicken was flavorful. I would pass on the skirt steak, poor cut and preparation. I would definitely skip dining outside, the entire time we were there a person who appeared to be homeless was screaming at the top of his lungs. Additionally, there is a constant flow of people walking around and even through the outdoor table area in order to get to the other side of the mall. Not a pleasant experience for outdoor dining.

Amazing service, delicious food and Ray took such good care of us the night before that I came back with my business partner! Big fan of the seaweed salad (it’s infused with garlic and ginger!), the giant 12in bone marrow with mochi bread and the salmon poke which was so incredibly inventive with shiso and edamame! I’m definitely coming back again when I’m in town!

We ate here before going to see a play at Mark Taper. It was good food and beer. Service was quick but the ambiance was just ok. The manager seemed to be prepping the wait staff at the bar and sat at the bar right next to our table and seemed grumpy. The restaurant was sparse so I noticed him more than I needed to. The waiter we had was friendly and nice. They had a large selection of Japanese whisky which seemed to me the main thing here but we did not have whisky since we had to drive through downtown LA to get to the theater after. We did like the good beer selection though.

We had such a great experience at HATCH. The food was amazing, the music and vibe were relaxed and welcoming, and the service was top notch. We were helped out by a younger gentleman with a great mustache, who was also the bartender. He went to college with a couple of our mutual friends, and he took exceptional care of us. I will be coming back here and bringing more friends because of his service!!

Amazing ambience, friendly and personable staff and waiters. Food is out of this world, A1 ingredients and you can taste the preparation and smoky flavor from the yakitori grill. Would recommend and definitely coming back. Also features a DineLA option for those looking for a very affordable course meal.

Drinks and food are good, especially the corn fritters, salmon skewer and plum chicken skewer. Items come out when ready, which is ok. I would have preferred items served as courses. Staff is nice and they were able to seat my party a bit earlier than the reservation time. Wait staff seemed understaffed since I noticed they were attending to many tables as a whole, as opposed to sections. I believe they did their best and I would go back.

Great deal for Dine LA - you get a ton of food for the price, it was all delicious, and it's a wide variety of small plates so I feel like I have a good sense for what I might want to order if we come again. The outdoor patio seating is pleasant and the service was really quick and friendly.

To be honest this is basically a bar with 5 star prices. Don't expect the white glove treatment because of the expense. Having said that, the food is marvelous. Smokey, salty, textured, sweet, aromatic, delicacies delight one's senses. The cocktails are as varied as the menu and compliment the cuisine. The bar is minimal, modern with an attention to texture. An outside arena of tables sits nicely in the middle of shops downtown. At night lights abound and the atmosphere is perfect for gatherings. Parking is convenient and validated for the first 2 hours. I will come back and try a traditional yakitori meal as I sampled just the house favorites. I highly recommend this restaurant for its food.

Everything we ordered was phenomenal! The cocktails were boozy and flavorful, but not overly sugary. We ordered the tuna avo “toast,” black chicken (omg I’ll dream of this one), short ribs, chicken meatball, and house pickles.There was an issue with our order going through on their system but they remedied it as soon as we mentioned it and took care of us for the hassle. Highly recommend this place and will definitely be back!

Always love coming to this place. At first, our service was a little slow, but a guy who i believe was the manager, came over and took our order and then continually checked in with us so that was great. Always good drinks here. Skewers are always cooked perfectly(chicken meatball and bacon asparagus are can't lose choices). Overall, great vibe.

My experience is veyr negatively impacted by the fact that the automatic gratuity was 26% which is way above standard. This is exacerbated by the fact that our server didn't do a particularly good job, and acted in bad faith when we needed his help.

Friendly atmosphere, sat at the bar and enjoyed watching the kitchen at work. The skewers were fabulous lots of different options. The basic chicken and green onion reminded me of chicken teriyaki only on a stick! Black fried rice was phenomenal and the cocktails were fun even my go to whiskey sour. Service was great, spoke to me by name and checked on me often. Bar dining is a great option on a solo trip.
