World Famous — Restaurant in Hollywood

“World Famous” — not for the food, but for the emotional damage.

So there we were: two hungry souls with high hopes and an empty stomach. H and I, united in our brave journey to try every single egg roll on the menu. We believed in the hype. We believed in the egg rolls.

We were fools.

Let’s start with the food. Yes, we tried all the different kinds. Were they creative? Some. Were they good? A few. Were others giving “seasoned with apathy and regret”? Absolutely. And for the price? Let’s just say you get two egg rolls cut in half — and suddenly you owe someone your firstborn. They’re served like tapas but priced like rent.

The strawberry lemonade? A sweet, syrupy siren that lures you in with a smile and leaves your pancreas screaming for help. It’s tasty, but it’s liquid candy in a cup — not for the faint of glycemic index.

Then there’s the ambiance, which feels like TikTok and a nightclub had a baby and left it unsupervised. Sticky tables. Loud music that changes genres mid-bite. And let’s talk about the WALL OF SCREENS showing people aggressively eating egg rolls. I didn’t come here for mukbang cosplay. If I wanted to watch people seductively devour food, I’d do it on my own time — not while trying to chew in peace.

But wait… the bathroom. Oh, the bathroom. Visit #1: Women’s restroom sink was blocked off by a table. A whole table. Like a sink dungeon challenge. Visit #2: Women’s restroom out of order. I had to identify as a man just to pee.

This place isn’t a restaurant — it’s a social experiment.

The banana cheesecake, though? An angel descended from the heavens. Creamy, dreamy, carried this entire establishment on its flaky graham-cracker crust. The only reason this isn’t a 1-star review.

So yeah. Come for the banana cheesecake. Stay for the chaos. Just don’t say I...

As our first time eating at this place it was not the experience we wanted to have.. Spent $30 for the following: One order of mix & match egg rolls of beef brisket (only thing that we really liked) & Philly cheese steak (dry & tasteless), honey Sriracha fries (nothing to rave about), 6 very spicy Henney Glazed wings (small barely had any meat) & 2 bottled sodas @ $2.50 each.

Yesterday 7/12 we ordered to "Dine in at 9:05 p.m." since place closes at 10 p.m. 25 minutes later.. The cashier who took our order from the register then asks us as me & my husband were sitting in a booth if we plan on dining in & we said yes, even though our receipt says "dine in" proceeds to tell us how their dining room closes at 9:40 p.m. Even after telling her we are dining in they packed our order to Goo (RUDE) We are literally the only people in the establishment. So we decide to eat in our car even though it only took us 10 minutes to eat. I had to go back in & request one additional tiny dipping sauce cup (that's not even filled all the way) for the 4 egg rolls cause one wasn't enough & the hostess looked at me with a poor attitude and said that sauces don't come with my egg rolls.. So why was there one to begin with in my order, smh.

Overall I did not feel that the customer service met our expectations, the time it took to prepare our meal & portion of egg rolls & wings also fell short from having a...

Honestly sad. As soon as this place opened, it was excellent, the staff, the portions, the flavor and experience was spot on. I've eaten here so many times and brought friends and family. But the last two times have been horrible experiences and nothing seems to be changing.

During my most recent visit, despite a near empty restaurant, my friends and I were sitting there staring at the employees waiting for our order to be taken only to be ignored until they were ready with a zero effort greeting. Just a "what do you want" in the absolute most effortless manner.

I don't know what happened to the staff here, but these kids seem to straight up dislike their customers. The food this time and the last were a whole other story. The flavor is completely absent, the portion has become so scarce compared to what it used to be, parts of the order were wrong and I felt like it was just eating an empty egg roll.

What happened? I know the owner is a great guy but I just cant eat here anymore feeling like I'm taking a gamble on my dinner that day. I'll likely visit when I'm back in Hollywood, but certainly not anytime soon.

If it changes then, I'll change this review. Otherwise I'm just disgusted. Finally Hollywood gets such a good restaurant and now it's falling mercy to its lackluster employees/cooks who have sub par standards. Hasn't even been open...
