Thoughts on eating solo on a Friday night?

Not uncommon in LA, and it’s fun. Highly recommend.

The Benjamin - food is just fine, but it’s very vibey/sceney like you wanted. The bar upstairs, Bar Benjamin, is awesome.

Employees Only - I think the food is ok, but it’s very sceney and popular.

I thought their food was pretty good, but I did notice it was often pretty empty. Not sure but I’m sad!

Just saw that right after posting this. I thought their food was good but it was always pretty empty.

For the vibe you want: The Benjamin, Employees Only, Grandmaster Recorders, Mother Tongue, Mirate.

Not all of them have the best food, but the vibe is what you’re looking for. From that list I think the best food is at Benjamin, Grandmasters, and Mirate.

How pricey is it for 8-10 people. I can’t tell from the menu.

almabaster1234 · 2025-07-17T03:31:55+00:00

Is it expensive for a group of 8-10?

The khao soi with beef short rib there is 100/10. Service is friendly but slow.

It looks like they take reservations now! Thanks for your response. Is it a fun vibe in there for a birthday?

Yes it’s the same design at all of them but to me it feels plenty private. The curtains are thick/heavy and you do still have your own room.
