    We went because we had heard great things from many people. Maybe it was just an off night, but our drinks took about 15 minutes to hit the table— after 2 starters had already come out. The food was good, nothing that was absolutely amazing. And the service was lacking. Was hoping to find a new go-to spot, and this unfortunately wasn’t it.

    Great cocktails, small plates, and service! Music was too loud and the main dishes need to be a little more concise. Kind of confusing what was going on in the dish.

    The dinner was lovely and our family enjoyed. The food was a little heavy for us and the ramen was cold when it came to our table; however, the flavors and the service was amazing. The food was unique and delicious and the atmosphere of the restaurant was awesome.

    I cannot say enough good things about my recent dining experience at RYLA! I decided to book the sake dinner pairing that was offered and it exceeded my expectations! Unfortunately, my culinary vocabulary is not sophisticated enough to do the food we enjoyed the justice it deserves. Everything was so fresh and the flavors just exploded in your mouth! The taste and quality of the pairings along with the friendly, knowledgeable service made it an unforgettable evening, thank you Chefs and staff!

    Absolutely must try experience. Dishes are so unique. Don’t know of any other places in Southern California that use these types of ingredients and in this way. Pickled persimmon in an arugula salad? Grape mignonette gelee and tarragon on oysters? An Italian bolognese/mapo fusion sauce with Chinese sichuan peppercorns on paccheri pasta? Definite culinary experience.

    On a lark went here with a friend and had a fantastic meal. Chef here did time with Providence and the creativity and quality. Service was excellent as well as design and ambiance. We did all starter plates and shared between us. Milk bread and nori dip were a hit as well as fresh oysters with tarragon and red grapes. Ribs were excellent with just the right amount of heat. The Caesar salad was spot on (the photo in Google is what hooked me) and provided a great balance to the other flavors. Shrimp appetizer was great as well, server offered to add one to even out the portions too! Chicken Karage was good though not Nashville hot as described. It was Magnum Monday so I enjoyed a glass of Sancerre and Pinot Rose with the Sancerre my fave. We filled up with the starter plates so finished ourselves off with the Tiramisu and called it a night. We will return to try out main plates and explore more of the menu soon.

    We dined in the lounge at a high top. We were seated right away but service was quite slow for water and drink orders. Or server, Catalina, was great and made good recommendations. Overall, the food was very good. There were interesting options on the menu. My only real complaint is that the tables in the lounge are way too close together. I could hear every word the couple beside us said, even more than I could hear my husband across the table from me. And getting into my seat was a little uncomfortable because of how close the tables were.

    We had a reservation for 3 and we were seated promptly. Our server was pleasant & helpful. Everyone loved their entrees. I had the breakfast sandwich which was tasty but a little too much bread for me. We shared the Japanese pancake for the table and we were not disappointed! I will definitely visit again!

    Brunch at Ryla exceeded our expectations — it’s one of our new favorites in the LA area! We had the Japanese pancake, loco moco, breakfast sandwich, and fried rice. We loved everything! The pancake & breakfast sandwich were stand-out favorites. This is a spot we’ll go out of our way to drive to again!

    It was our first time trying out the restaurant. The flavor combination was amazing. Matcha Green Tea is a must try so save room for dessert. For the main dish, the snapper with coconut lime broth was so good! Our server Vanessa was courteous, friendly and checked on us often. The gentleman cleaning the table and changing our plates were also as friendly. Overall vibe and ambiance is great. Lastly, I tried my very first vodka martini (dirty with blue cheese olives). Kudos to the bar tender. It’s now going to be my go to cocktail!

    The food was great. The milk bread and truffle fried rice are must have! The caesar salad was also excellent. I am not a green tea fan but the green tea tiramisu was terrific. We were seated in the lounge area and noise level got very loud at times so it is not a quiet space, if you’re looking for that. Angela, our server, was wonderful! She was attentive and helpful.
