LACMA Cafe — Restaurant in Los Angeles

Poor management, food and service. Who could ask for less. Earlier this month made the near fatal error of ordering their pork banh mi sandwich. The pork was a SOLID SLAB OF FAT, with a few grains of meat in it.

The service was appalling. My two friends were brought their sandwiches 10 minutes before mine. When I walked up to find out where the other food was, I was treated rudely. That's when I got the slab of pork fat - but unfortunately, I couldn't send it back after that much time and I didn't want to make a scene.

Museum patrons just be forewarned of this overpriced and pretentious little rip-off of a cafe with a menu and ordering system which is guaranteed to confuse any first time customer...

We decided to have a snack during our visit to the museum, and the Cali Burrito and Fries were both delicious and well-seasoned. Everything was fresh and prepared with care, including caramelized onions and flavorful salsa. Service was quick and food was tasty with plenty of vegetarian options. It all exceeded our expectations in...

The staff is always pleasant, and will go above and beyond, if you are nice to them.

I have lived my whole life in L.A., and frequent the museum.

For the bad reviewers on here, give them another chance.

If there’s a problem with a product, and you don’t like the answer from the front of the house, request to speak to a manager. This is a rare thing, however.

It’s always fresh and good when...
