- SSabrinavipLos Angeles •9 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoGracious service is a lost art. Paired with food of impeccable quality and creativity, in a gorgeous setting - a rare treat. We had the omakase sushi as a late lunch and found the selections varied and plentiful and delicious. I will definitely return!More infoEigikuteiPrice: Very Expensive• Japanese• Little Tokyo•4.9
- OTOpenTable DinerLos Angeles •5 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoAh, Manual LA, the hidden gem nestled in the vibrant art district where parking is a bit challenging ! Who doesn't love a limited-time weekend affair where reservations are as essential as your morning coffee? Trust me, you'll want to secure your spot in advance to avoid the dreaded waitlist of doom. As for the menu, prepare to be swept off your feet by the ocean trout tartare – it's a love letter to seafood that even Poseidon would approve of. The burrata is a creamy delight with delight cucumber that will make you question why you've ever eaten anything else. And then, there's the French toast, a carbohydrate devil that could easily moonlight as dessert. If you're someone who finds carbohydrates utterly captivating (and let's be honest, who isn't?), Manual LA is your carb-laden paradise.More infoManuelaPrice: Expensive• Californian• Downtown•4.8

Service was a bit slow as there was only one host and one server on a weekend. Tables were spaced out enough to have quiet conversation with your guest/party. Sit outside for the best atmosphere. What would have elevated the experience: a thoughtful, brief rundown of each type of tea and history of Chado.More infoChado Tea Room - DowntownPrice: Moderate• Afternoon Tea• Downtown•4.3
