The Goldfish — Restaurant in Los Angeles

EDIT: Eric made it right and explained the situation, and knowing what I know now, we will be coming back as we really do love the overall esthetic and vibe, and every staff member I’ve met so far including Eric, was really friendly and helpful with menu questions and suggestions. Eric was on top of everything with our concerns like a pro and made it right with us, that’s all we can ask for.

My partner and I showed up and it wasn’t busy at all, about 4:50ish pm, just a few tables that had already been served and was fairly quiet outside and inside when we arrived. We put in our order on the same bill and expected to get our food at the same time, however my partner got his food about 15 minutes before me. He got the drunken noodles with chicken and I got the yellow curry with chicken. It was supposed to be a date, but it ended up being kind of a waste of money as we didn’t even get to eat together. I had to flag over someone and tell them that they may as well wrap mine up, as my partner had already eaten all his food. Kinda ruined the day and date for me and will probably just toss the to-go food they wrapped in the garbage or give to a homeless. Just moved to the area from Santa Barbara and this was my second time there, but I probably won’t be back. What’s upsetting is I was just here for the first time a few days ago and thought it was a pretty neat spot, and my partner and I don’t ever get to do that much together very often as we are both very busy, and I had told him how I wanted to bring him here to get food, but I will be eating by myself this evening now. Bummer. Oh, by the way, here’s your bill for $80.

Also, notice the flood of positive reviews that came in after my negative review… are they trying to flood my...

The Goldfish is wack as hell, but Sticky Rice is still bomb in my book. Here’s what happened to me. The advertised price of a Hazy on their mirror board menu is $8 but they charged me $10. So I asked for a copy of my receipt so I could show them the difference in price from the advertised price to what they actually charged me and instead of giving me back my $2 they said I could have $2 sake shots all night. Sake tastes like punishment and I told them I don’t like sake and I’d rather have my $2 back at which point the bartender told me, “look I’m just trying to help you” to which I replied, “yes, but only after I caught you stealing $2 dollars from me”. I suggested just giving me two bucks from the cash register, the tip jar or from the arcade games or pool tables, which was met with an eye roll. In the end I was not refunded my money for the beer and was told this was the best they could do. I won’t be coming back here again, except for...

Gorgeous bar but truly ugly customer service. I can truly say with all honesty me and my group did absolutely nothing at all to cause the bartender (with the hat and yellow shirt, on 6.17.25) to be condescending and insolent to us to say the least. Immediately upon approaching her she was completely bothered and made me and my group feel criminal for even being there and I have my sneaking suspicion as to why. Maybe being a Hispanic at the moment is quite the inconvenience for some. We are not ever coming back here again. Even the server girl with the glasses was a snob. Shoved our food onto the table and coldly walked away even after I politely said thank you to her. The only gem there was the security guard! He was totally nice and very welcoming! Also waited over 50 mins for our food to come out! My Check number was #31 in case management wants to do any damage control on those who played a part in my...
