This is most hype restaurants in all major cities across the world these days. Sadly

This place opened in downtown culver last year called Parmizza. They redid the inside completely with all these neon light frames and wall decorations. Too bad the concept was dumb (a piece of fried protein with different combinations of toppings on it), none of the workers actually helped you place an order you had to do it through the website, and of course it was overpriced. The place lasted less than 3 months before it closed and good luck to anyone who decides to rent it next cause it’s gonna need a massive makeover.

Any place doing cheese pulls or showing me something dunked in a gallon of sauce for 90% of their social content.

All the new “mexican gentrified” restaurants that are all photo ops for social media and come with quirky innuendo names. $40 tequila shot anyone? It will be served on a duck wearing a sombrero. Cheers!

I’ve never been more confused than at Tu Madre in Loz Feliz. The place is freaking cute, but the menu is weird, the server was not familiar with the dishes, everything we got was just whack. I’ll eat pretty much any iteration of tacos, but they were weird and wet(?), and just so bad. The drinks were ok, but why does everything come with an entire bushel of fresh sage? I felt like I was right in the middle of an all style, no substance IG story.

Every place that was serving good food at reasonable prices with good service goes out of business and gets replaced by one of these.
Unfortunately, retail/commercial rents are stupid, and spending less money making worse food with an advertising model for a higher price is a better business model.
Eat the rich.

The Hideaway in BH. Everything was so bland, and I had to fetch my own salt and limes from the bar to give the guac some flavor

I hate to say it but this was my experience at Ubuntu. I was SO excited to eat there, but everything was just okay, the service was really *really* slow (like 40min to get our drinks), and by the time we were able to order AFTER we got our drinks, they told us they were out of most the menu. We ordered what little was available and it was really meh.

Catch LA the sushi place. I left hungry still but I had to put on a happy face for my friend’s birthday.

Seems like it’s one or the other. The better food can be found at the less aesthetic places

I’ve said this before here, but when it has like a “clever” name, you know it’s going to be overpriced crap, and they make a steady income on influencers and other gullible people.

For me it’s Monty’s. I live a block from one and if I’m going to get an impossible burger and tater tots, I’m going to walk an extra couple blocks to pay less than $20 for an experience I’ll likely enjoy more.

Any place that influencers say reminds them of Tulum. WAY too many Tulum-inspired restaurants in LA now….

Never ate at any of these places… is this for the transplant living I’m DTLA and the surrounding areas?
