Best Neighbourhood Gem Restaurants in Baldwin Hills

I took a friend for dinner and they have been many years since she’s been to this type of restaurant. We had a wonderful meal and the chef was very entertaining and accommodating. My friend cannot eat seafood and she is also lactose intolerant so the chef smells very careful to make sure that he honored her allergies and gave her an excellent meal. We will definitely be back.

We were greeted very nicely and seated right away. Loved the flame on the yummy upgraded Burning Mandarin cocktail! Lychee elixir (non-alcoholic) was delicious as well. As always all dishes were outstanding starting with crunchy Brussels sprouts, spicy tuna on crispy rice, crab hand rolls, yellowtail sashimi and Katsuya roll. Chocolate lava cake was a hot for dessert. Top notch service throughout, can’t wait to go back!

STK Los Angeles is the spot if you’re looking for a vibe that screams luxury and fun. Think juicy steaks, epic cocktails, and a live DJ to keep the energy up all night. Perfect for content, btw—this place is a whole aesthetic. Here’s the rundown from my night: •The Food: I went with the Ribeye (highly recommend), and the Cheesecake was next-level. It’s definitely a splurge, but worth every bite. •The Vibes: Chic, trendy, and buzzing with energy. It’s not just a dinner; it’s an experience. Great lighting for photos, too! •Service: Shoutout to Danny (my server), who made everything seamless and fun. Whether you’re celebrating or just want to treat yourself, STK delivers. Pro tip: make a reservation early because this place gets packed. Check them out on OpenTable to book your table!

This was FANTASTIC! We went for the special Hanukkah prix fixe dinner featuring Olio Nuovo olive oil. So delicious. Standouts were latkes and brisket with brussels sprouts. Out of this world unusual pistachio dessert. Very elevated meal.  Nice surprise twist on what I thought would be more of a traditional dinner.  Would return for a meal like this 10 times out of 10.  I hope they continue with other Sunday night dinners. 

Delicious food! Great atmosphere. Lovely staff
