You better get reservations in advance because this is one busy restaurant, and rightfully so. Their food is excellent, their service is very accommodating, and the price is not bad at all. The restaurant was packed, so waited about 30 minutes. That was the only bad part. You can eat inside or outside. The patio outside has heated lamps and nice bamboo-inspired decor, and you can either have drinks and hang out or sit down and eat.
Highly recommend the mojito they make with Korean soju! Also, if you like something non-alcoholic and light, their lychee cooler is awesome. All their appetizers and main courses were great, but my personal favorites were the steak dish, the lettuce chicken wraps, and the yabisoba noodles.
Buddha's Belly gets my vote for best Pan-Asian restaurant in LA, but I'm fairly new to LA so I haven't visited all the competitors.
Pros: Ambience, Food, Mixed drinks/mojito
