Two floors, two identities, one address that captures the duality of a city perpetually torn between introspection and spectacle. The ground-floor space has evolved through different restaurant concepts over the years, while the rooftop LP remains the draw — strung with lights where Southeast Asian sharing plates arrive under a sky that frames the Hollywood sign like a promise. You ascend from street level into open air and panoramic views, and the transition feels less like changing venues than changing moods. Both floors attract people who understand that the best nights in LA require movement.

Start downstairs with mezcal flights and the tlayuda, then migrate upstairs for lemongrass-chili cocktails and crispy rice salad. Bounce between floors as the mood shifts. The building rewards restlessness.
Sunset on the rooftop is mandatory but crowded. Arrive at five to claim your position. Late night Thursday through Saturday, the downstairs becomes the move when you are three drinks deep and properly hungry.
Reservations are smart for dinner but the bars are first-come. Dress code leans stylish without being oppressive. Groups larger than six should split up or prepare for a wait.
