Best Comfort Food Restaurants in Historic South-Central

Fantastic experience. Some of the best curated omakase around. The ambience was quiet, clean, and modern. Loved it.

The food was amazing! The quality and flavor of each dish left me satisfied. Highly recommend the Pork Shank, green beans and Nan! The menu and photos on yelp may not represent the current menu. Outdoor seating is great if you’re directly under the lamp with a smaller table. The elevator to the parking structure places you in an alley that connects to the front of the restaurant.

Los Angeles' Soul Food scene has really diminished over the last 30 years, so it's refreshing to have an authentic, high quality soul food experience. We went on New Year's night and the place was PACKED! Even though we were 45 minutes late for our reservation (Rose Bowl traffic), the hostess worked us in and we were seated about 10 minutes after checking in. Our server was very cheerful and knowledgeable about the menu (as was, we later discovered, the busser). We had the Ox Tails (amazingly tender & flavorful, with a touch of umami - not sure if it was Worcestershire or Soy - that gave them tang), Fried Chicken, Red Beans, Okra, Collard Greens, Yams, Corn Bread and Peach Cobbler. The chicken was crispy, yet the breast was still moist, and the red beans were classic. The okra was charred excellently (I usually don't like okra) and we enjoyed it thoroughly. Collards and Yams were authentic southern style. The cobbler was a little syrupy, but tasted great. BUT IT'S THE SERVICE THAT MADE EVERYTHING STAND OUT - from the greeters to the bussers, the staff was amazing, which made the experience all the better.

Great fast and friendly service. The food was amazing as were the coffee, mimosas and bloody Mary’s. I highly recommend this lil gem in the flower district of LA.

Great service, great food, great ambiance. I would highly recommend this restaurant for any special occasion.
