We came for the DineLA menu. What an incredible value! Three courses plus complementary cocktail/mocktail for $35! Each course was delicious and we got plenty to eat. The outside patio is SO nice! I’ve always loved this place and I want to support it; I’m coming back and bringing more friends!

Came here for the Brunch Friday DineLA (7/12-26). We sat in the lovely garden away from the inside. Even when I walked up to the cashier for my reservation, I noticed it would’ve been difficult to talk inside bc of the loud music. The garden was serene with lights strewn across the patio and in the trees. I can imagine how beautiful it is at night. Between the 2 of us, we had the vegetarian spring rolls (came out fresh and hot), market salad (loved it bc it was loaded with many ingredients), An’s famous garlic noodles with a choice of beef or chicken (prawns would be an extra $15), pork belly banh mi sandwich with salad that was on the DineLA menu at the restaurant, but not on the DineLA online menu. I was looking forward to trying Crustacean’s famous An’s garlic noodles (same owners) and was disappointed that the noodles and chicken breast were a little dry. My friend thought the noodles needed more taste. My friend liked the pork belly banh mi, but I found the chili oil too spicy and needed to add lettuce to the sandwich. Loved their colorful salads. For dessert, we each had the vanilla ice cream and huge homemade cookies with macadamia nuts and white chocolate (delicious!). Service was attentive. There was some confusion with our server re the DineLA menu, but it was resolved. Street parking or paid parking in a nearby building. I’d come back, but will try other dishes on the menu in the patio. Keep an eye on the 100 points bc I called that eve and left a msg to say I haven’t received my points and have yet to receive them the next day, Sat.

Unfortunately, we were very disappointed with our dinner experience last night. Service was very slow (even though there were hardly any diners there), the food was okay, half of our food was lukewarm (including 2 soups), and we had to wave the servers down to ask for things since they rarely checked on us. Even the garlic noodles were disappointing even though the same ones at Crustacean are great. They told us they were out of chicken about 10 minutes after one of us ordered chicken with our salad. They also said they were out of mango sticky rice about 10 minutes after we ordered only that for dessert, and then suddenly they brought us the mango sticky rice we ordered. The servers who brought the dessert looked at each other confused as to why we were told by someone else that they were out of that. Very disorganized with what seemed like plenty of staff for less than 10 tables in the whole restaurant with people dining.

One of the most beautiful patio settings in LA (yes, I know it is in SM). This place should be packed and hard to reserve but its not. Food is very good and prices very reasonable. Service could be better.

Celebrated our girlfriend’s birthday here and it was just the perfect venue. We opted for the patio table and we were so glad we did. The ambiance was really nice and felt like so away from the city. The food was all delish, being that is owned by the famed Ann family. Every dish was good. The service was excellent! They truly catered to us group of 8 women celebrating and enjoying our friend’s birthday. I will definitely go back here again! Parking was a bit of a challenge, but we were able to find street parking a block and a half down the street. I’m not aware of any parking in the building.

This is a beautiful garden setting with a great drink menu and fantastic happy hour food items that no one knows about. An's garlic noodles make it a delight.....if there were only a bit more people because the ambience is fantastic!
