East-Meets-West dishes inspired by the rich collisions of food and culture that was borne out of the European colonization of Southeast Asia. Dishes blend and balance the spices and flavors of Southeast Asia with French techniques and Dutch and British colonial influences.

The menu is continually evolving, reflecting both new inspiration and changing of the seasons. Our restaurant carefully curates spirits, wines, and beverages focusing on interesting flavors and pairings. We hope you'll dine with us soon.

    Weeknight 7PM dinner. It's DTLA parking so make sure you give yourself time to find parking in the area. Ordered the Shaky Shaky beef and the Lemongrass beef to share. Food was tasty and well portioned. Not too sweet and not oily. Right balance of flavors! I have had the shaky shaky beef before at a different LS location and it was more tasty here than previous times. The restaurant can get kind of noisy if it's full.

    We had a great experience. It was pretty empty on a Sunday at 5pm. We had the salmon crudo- BOMB, papaya salad YUMMY and spicy but bold flavors, triple garlic noodle -good, fries sea bass- prefect crisp. My sister and I probably enjoy the salmon crisp the most. Overall everything was good and flavorful. Service was also really good the hostess/server guy was very polite and helpful. Parking is super annoying, we parked around the corner at a hotel and it was $33. However, that’s not the restaurants fault.

    Food was amazing. Surrounding conversations can be a little loud, as seating is close. However, the ambiance is great - good vibes, great food!

    Xtra tasty tasty food. Snug space, just uncomfortable enough that you eat and get out so they can turn the table. But totally worth it. Try everything.

     our waiter was nice and friendly. I think that he thinks we left early because of him, which is not the case at all, he was great. He also the food was better than what I thought it would be.
