Very quiet spot, went on a Friday night around 11pm. The drinks were great and the service was quick. Would recommend sitting at the bar to see the mixologist work his magic.

David is the best server and the whole experience is so wonderful that I almost don’t want to review it so it doesn’t blow up. Love this historic establishment and the culture, food, drinks, atmosphere- supreme vibes.

It was our first time dining at HnH, and I wasn’t quite used to the atmosphere of this style of restaurant. However, our servers were exceptional. They made us feel welcome, clearly explained the courses and the self-serve process, and checked on us every 5 to 10 minutes. Their attentiveness made us feel truly valued. 10/10 – we will definitely be returning.

We haven’t dined at Casa Cordoba for many years, having moved out of state . We decided to return to celebrate birthdays, a party of 6. The experience was so delightful! We are recently returned from Spain, so food memories are fresh. Every dish was beautifully presented, fresh, and flavorful. The paella was by far better than one we had in Mallorca…nothing dry about it, just tasty and succulent. Our server, Richard, was the best. Professional and knowledgeable and also very fun! Casa Cordoba has now become our favorite local restaurant when we return to the foothills of LA. Thank you ‼️

Nice Japanese yakitori bar where you can get decent drinks and yakitoris. I really liked squid ink karage and pork belly yakitori. Considering the price, portion is small here. If u want a place with drinks with small foods, i recommend coming here!
