Philip Tam: Pricey and kind of touristy, but the food remains in my view above average despite being expensive. Go for the atmosphere and exclusive experience

Philip Tam: Only thing worth ordering in my view is their standard ramen. Their service is good, and has an authentic vibe. Decent price if you forgo toppings

Gastropub · South LA · 50 tips y reseñas
Philip Tam: It's close to school and offers a decent selection. Has average to above average food, but I'd come here mostly for the bar. Not really a "gsstropub", despite the name, and lacks whiskey and scotch.
