The Prince in Los Angeles - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

This place is a vibe!! It was cool sitting in a location that has been seen in multiple shows. The service was quick. Drinks were strong and delicious! It’s too bad we couldn’t hang out for too long before we were called for our kbbq table just a couple blocks away.

I have been living in Koreatown for years and can't believe I have been missing out on this place. I loved the vibe and decor. The bartender was super friendly. They had a nice selection of cocktails to try as well as food. The soy wings were perfection. I will definitely be coming back.

This place gets everything right. Except the iPad tablet and QR code menu trend. Nothing worse than being forced to pull out your phone at the dinner table. Bring back real menus!

Best Korean fried chicken in k-town

This place smells really horrible. Unfortunately, like a urinal cake. I wish it was better because it's a great location but... the whole restaurant smells like a poorly cleaned bathroom, no matter what location you move to. The drinks were ok but the smell was not enough to balance it out.

It was nice that there were no Koreans in the Korean menu. Please add sauce for $2.

We had an absolutely ridiculous experience at this restaurant. It took a while for anyone to come take our order, despite us ringing the service bell several times. The six of us ordered six meals and six drinks with a first server, a blonde woman. Only five drinks were brought to the table. Then, when the meals were brought to the table, one was missing. After around ten minutes, we enquired with a second server, a young man, as to when the last meal would come to the table. He checked and informed us that the woman who took our order forgot to put that meal through. My friend repeated his order to this second server several times. When the food was brought out by a third person, a brown-haired woman, it wasn’t the food he’d ordered. We informed her that the food was wrong. By that point, the rest of us had long finished eating. My friend repeated his order again to the second and third servers. Finally, after around an hour, the right food was brought to our table. My friend ate by himself while the rest of us waited for him. When my friend went to pay, she informed the woman who took her payment - the first lady who originally messed out the order - that she wasn’t going to tip. As we were leaving, the third server we dealt with informed us that it was the restaurant’s policy to charge an 18% service charge for parties of four people or more, and became quite aggressive, insisting that they CHANGED a meal for us. We explained to her that no meal was changed, they somehow managed to mess it up twice. She kept maintaining that their mistake was rectified in ten minutes (it was not), and went as far as to tell my friend if he wasn’t happy he should have refused his food. Which is exactly what he had done when the wrong food was brought to the table. Bear in mind that the food he ate was paid for - we never tried to have it removed from the bill. After an increasingly frustrating back and forth with this woman, who kept insisting that the staff had been very accommodating when they failed to take a correct order TWICE, she gave up and told us to leave. We were happy to oblige. Quite frankly, as someone who worked in restaurants for over ten years, both the service and the server’s attitude made me very angry. The food was alright, but this is by quite a big margin the most incompetent bunch of servers I’ve ever come across. Mistakes happen, and we were totally understanding after my friend’s food failed to show up the first time. But the fact that it took three people to get the right food to us, and that it took an hour, put us in a less-than-ideal mood. This belligerent woman’s refusal to admit the two mistakes the staff made, instead claiming that my friend simply changed his mind, while insisting he should have refused the food he waited so long for? Simply ridiculous. Suffice to say, we won’t be visiting again. But for the sake of this restaurant’s patrons, I hope management gives their staff some much-needed training in how to correctly input six meals into their system.

I always walked past this place and was always curious about what was going on inside. I went for dinner the other week and it was absolutely amazing. Their sweet and sour tofu and vegetable fried rice was so good! Everyone else in my group had the fried chicken which they said was delicious. I can't wait to come back!

Great vibes, food is good but not great.

The interior is amazing! Drinks are also great too!

Quick service on friday evening, waited about 10 minutes at 10:30pm Best we tried was the sweet and sour pork. It was delicious and so fresh! Kimchi fried rice and corn cheese are great! Would recommend. The meat pancake is more like meat balls rather than kimchi/seafood pancakes

Great vibe, good food and I am sure the drinks are great as well. This is a very unassuming spot in Ktown that is great for an intimate or large group. I’ve been many times over the years and doesn’t disappoint.

Amazing place ! Amazing drinks ! Amazing staff ! Amazing food ! Just amazing all around lol nothing bad to say at all ! Looking to have a great time ? Definitely come here and enjoy your self.

Love their foods~ So delicious!!!

A lot of great spots in Koreatown, but this is one I always make when I'm in town. Love the atmosphere and fried chicken.

One of the best bars in LA, excellent fried chicken & lychee martinis

When taking the stairs down to the Prince you're both about to enter a cool Korean restaurant as well as the bar where Nick works in "New Girl". Overall the food was nice and the atmosphere as well. The restaurant is very cozy and well decorated which makes it a nice place to sit for a while. The service was alright but nothing special. To sum it up I think The prince is worth a visit! Especially if you are a "New girl" fan :)

great atmosphere, especially if you’re a new girl fan. the menu was definitely overpriced, even for the place/location. the “seasoned” tofu plate was just a plate of plain tofu with a tiny jar of what tasted like pure oil mixed with something crunchy. a very odd choice, not worth the price. great service tho!

overhyped spot, came here a few times bc I lived nearby but it was decent. Only worth it during happy hour & drinks aren’t the best. We came here on a Friday one night, waited for about 20-30min to be seated which was no issue. Once seated, they took our orders and came back 40+min later with our drinks, we then ordered the 2nd round on the spot which no joke took 1 hour to get. We couldn’t find the server for the check and had to hunt someone down to get it. We didn’t tip bc it was pretty ridiculous waiting times compared to many other spots in LA. THE WAITER STOPPED OUTSIDE THE BAR TO ASK FOR A TIP!! He was upset we didn’t tip him anything, which we always do unless it’s pretty bad service… he was pressuring us to change the receipt to include tip but after some back and forth, we just decided to walk away… haven’t gone back since

Came here for the novelty of this being the location of where New Girl, Mad Men, and other shows were filmed. Waited an hour for a table but would recommend getting on the online app check in before arriving which we didn’t know until we got there. Service was fairly slow just for drinks.

This used to be my favorite place to get spicy chicken but they recently changed their recipe. Now it tastes like frozen chicken nuggets heated up in a microwave and coated with their spicy sauce. Very disappointing as it is one of my favorite bars and After working dining spot. I hope they return to old recipe.

Upon arriving at The Prince, it initially appears as a hotel, but stepping inside reveals a space adorned with Chinese decor, clearly a restaurant and bar. The standout dish here is the whole fried Korean chicken - a must-try and my main reason for visiting. Be prepared to pay a premium for this delicacy, as sides and drinks are extra. The ambiance transports you to Asia with its retro charm, yet upon exiting, the contrast of LA's upscale, modern neighborhood greets you. It's definitely worth a visit.

The interior of this place is an international treasure. What a wonderful, wonderfully intact early midcentury space. If only they switched the lighbulbs at the table lamps to something a little more mellow, it'd really feel like a night out in 1958. Excellent cocktails, friendly waitstaff (the call buttons are so much fun), and nice, salty, if slightly pricey, standard Korean food. The Prince is the embodiment of a certain version of glittery old L.A. charm that we need to preserve for all time!

This was a really cool place to visit - definitely a little hidden gem. A lot of movies & TV shows have been filmed here so it's a really fun place to see. Drinks were yummy. Food was good - we had the green onion salad which was delicious. Not great for vegetarians but we had a couple dishes

This place is amazing. Super low-key, one of my favorite places in LA. They knock a few dishes out of the park and their cocktails are well made. Their spicy boneless chicken with mozza is the best. It does pack some heat, which is why I order the sauce on the side. It's great quality boneless fried chicken on top of a bed of melted mozzarella, on a hot skillet. I've never had anything like it and it is killer. Their shrimp fried rice and fried sweet & sour tofu (sauce on the side) are my other go to's. Those dishes are well worth the money. I highly recommend this place for a date or just a night out.

Eclectic, cool with some swagger. Hidden gem. Old school banquets with ringers to summon servers.

Can't believe this restaurant still opens and very crowded. It's been almost more than 27 years since I went there :0 Food was overpriced but maybe people has to pay their historical place and interesting atmosphere.

The food here is alright - decent, but not great. Come here for the draft beer and fried chicken; I got the half-and-half (half spicy fried chicken, half fried chicken quarter with no batter). Typical Asian-level service. Very interesting layout and decor, so lots of things to talk about on your date. I would've appreciated some music in the background.

Got free deserts and kind service despite being a noisy and drunk grouo. Appreciate you taking care of us!

The food was good but could use a slight tweaking.

Honestly food isn’t bad. Drinks are fantastic. Food price isn’t the best but the ambiance is nice. I’ll take it

Cool place. Lots of shows have filmed in the iconic red bar. The chicken was good and drinks on point. Valet parking is available in the back.

PEOPLE! THIS IS NOT A 5 ⭐️ bar/restaurant. #KoreanFood #Victorian-style Food was okay, Great vibe, some great staff. Max was really friendly and attentive! Bartender was a bit impatient and definitely felt it as a first timer (and probably as the only timer), but made mean drinks! . Bartender did recommend this beef dish that was pretty decent. Great parking lot staff! Arturo was genuine and super friendly. Carlos, the valet guy was helpful and made things easier for customers that were ready to leave. Great prices… good time! I would come back for unwinding 😏🤭🤫😍😍. Thank you Max for allowing me to be part of your world for a night: too bad not many people understand that. 🙏🏽 I needed tonight! If I ever come back, it would be for Max’s great welcoming personality. Other than that… 👎👎👎👎👎👎… Train your workers… “The Prince”.

Decor is cool and has a fun vibe, but service was terrible. Didn’t have any food so can’t vouch for that, but what we saw looked good. Came in for drinks on a Saturday night around 10pm with a group of 4. We were seated at a table quickly and told to use the button to ring for service when we were ready. We pushed the button, waited several minutes with no response or glance in our direction. 20 minutes later and multiple button pushes with no response, we had to flag someone down just to order drinks. At least once the order was in the drinks arrived quickly.

Great atmosphere, fried chicken, and cocktails.

A true LA classic. Yummy greasy Korean comfort food, set in one of the most historic buildings in Los Angeles. Definitely worth a visit! Best short ribs I’ve had in a long time.

We loved the atmosphere and the drinks were decent, but the food was disappointing. We had ordered the spicy chicken, kimchi fried rice, and fried pork gyozas. The gyozas were the best thing at our table and even they tasted mid. We could not taste any kimchi in the rice, and the chicken had the flavor down, but it was mostly fat and bone.

This place is amazing and the atmosphere is out of this world. I highly recommend trying the food out. They have an excellent menu selection and their prices are very reasonable too.

This is such a cool bar. The drinks, decor, ambiance, food, and service were top-notch. Food wise, I had the shrimp fried rice and hot wings. So good. I forgot this was the bar used in New Girl too. Would definitely come back for a drink or late snack. The parking though is tough so Uber or left recommended.

Very cool atmosphere and friendly bar staff.

Very interesting place. A little bit of L.A. history with some really cool decor. Plates are definitely sharable and also quite delicious.

I'm honestly shocked at how many good reviews-for the food- there are. The bar is great, very cool atmosphere and plenty of tables and bar space so I'd give that 5 stars. But the food... 2 at best. Either folks rating it high have never had good Korean food or the place was having a really off night. The fried rice was basic, the spicy chicken tasted like a sweet and spicy chicken you get at an American-Chinese restaurant and the kimchi pancake had very little kimchi in it. Would definitely not go back for the food. There was 1 really nice server, all the bartenders looked miserable.

This place is a rip off and they know it. Stir fried kim chi with tofu is almost $30?! Also they charged me for overnight valet fee for $100! Are you kidding me? Parking at a luxury hotel overnight is cheaper than that. Monthly parking on their lot cost $200. They are greedy. Don’t go here.

Funky place on Koreatown. Like that you have to press a remote doorbell button for service. Oh and the booths arrangements are the best…very romantic. Had old fashioned drinks which were done well. Didn’t eat it but their fried rice with egg looked good. Location is good too.

The atmosphere was very neat and the drinks were great. We had the fiend whole chicken and fried rice.

The atmosphere here is pretty amazing and the service is great. I recommend trying this place out whenever you have a chance.

Even though it hurts me a little to give five stars to a place with such a disgusting bathroom (management please do something about it please), this spot is just so special. Everything is red and old (a bird told me 100 years old) and overall just a really odd but interesting vibe. If anyone has ever been to green mill in Chicago, this place kind of feels like it sans the live jazz.

Famously classic HWood place, but now Korean food, wonderful.

Love the fun vibes here! We didn’t grab dinner here but the drinks were very fairly priced and the ambiance was unique and lively. Definitely recommend for a date night or a spot with friends!

First time at this bar and it was…interesting. Somebody had too much and threw up all over the floor. The staff didn’t really bother to help other than ask if he’s okay and then walk away. The throw up remained on the carpet for at least another 30 minutes, so we moved seats. The staff was not the friendliest, making it seem like they didn’t want to serve us or be there, but the drinks were solid.

Ultra-cool retro vibes at this historic neighborhood restaurant. Good mixed drinks and a solid range of Korean favorites. Can get busy so go early evening and grab a booth.

First review ever ….one of the staff members threw out one of the drinks I spent $30 on after i spent a bunch of money with friends on friends … no wanting he was insanely angry and rude

Best Fried rice I've had in my life along with the soy wings and Galbi. Im a huge New Girl fan (that's where they filmed season 1) and came to take pics and have some mediocre food... I completely underestimated this place! The food was some of the best korean food I've had. This went from a place to visit once to an absolute must stop for me whenever Im in LA!!!

Great happy hour - sever was a bit rude

We enjoyed The Prince. The atmosphere is amazing. I was distracted throughout the meal looking at all the stuff (decorations). Food was good and reasonably priced. There is a bell at the table which you ring to call the waiter. If you don't ring it, they pretty much leave you alone. They have a parking lot. I would be happy to go back.

This place has a really good vibe. They serve Korean food but ironically have no sign of any Korean decor. The foods are comfort food in a pub/bar style. It is 21+ so if you are under age, its not some place you can go

Extremely vibey. Get a booth, order sake, fries, wings and let everyone chill. Had a birthday party here and it’s inexpensive for everyone - group of 8 was about $50 / person. Would also bring out of town guests. It’s a very LA spot.

I was very excited about going here for my birthday. I brought a friend and I'm so embarrassed about how we were treated upon arrival. It was cold so we were bundled up and once I took off my jacket I was dressed nice. I just feel so bad because I was so excited to go here. I can't rate food because I was not able to get any. I don't know how to sit down and eat. I guess you got to make a reservation? Idk actually. I just got yelled at for trying to go to the bar and actually we wanted a table. One of my worst experiences in a long time.

Brilliant atmosphere and low-lit setting. There are little bells at the top of the seats to call waiters. The menu is small and simple, but the fried chicken is great. Super place to go if you want some character to your evening or to impress visitors coming into Koreatown.

I went this pub with four other friends last night. And I went here many times in the past, the experiences were all good with food. But last night, the food was all awful. Their signature menu was fried chicken and it was over cook and dried. The moon shell snail salad wasn't good either. Specially the pitcer of beer we order which was coors light, taste like water so we ordered different kind, the blue moon taste smililar it was like they added water. Not sure what had happened to this pub?? Such a shame... We were all disappointed so much that never want to go back. I wanted to give 0 star but gave one because the female server was friendly.

A bit disappointing for such a historic, iconic bar. First is the wait--at least when we went, they didn't have an online wait-list. So we were stuck waiting outside for over an hour before we could head in. Our own fault for going on a Friday night, I suppose. Once inside, the decor and everything is really charming. But our booth was right under the blasting speaker, so we couldn't hear each other talk at all haha. We only got food--the bulgogi was great, but it didn't even come with a side of rice (which didn't seem like too much to ask based on the price for the bulgogi). Side note: the men's bathroom was pretty gross, even for a bar.

My friend, family, and I visited because my friend and I love the show New Girl and this is where Nick from the show worked. We wanted to eat there because the food looked good and we were excited to sit where the actors in new girl sat but my friend and I are under 21 so we were unable to eat here. I didn’t know that because I haven’t seen it advertised anywhere. The interior is beautiful though and I got a picture but it’s still upsetting we weren’t able to eat here.

Outstanding VIBE highley reccomend

I went there for my friend's birthday. My boyfriend came along with us and he hates squids. We wanted him to try spicy sea snail but we didn't want him to gross out. He told us if we really want him to try something new just don't tell him what we're ordering. He still doesn't know what he ate but he loved it. We ordered sea snail with noodles, half and half chicken and fried rice, sweet potato fries. Everything was so delicious. My friend was happy too. I'm writing this review because I miss this place already.

Great place in Koreatown. It’s the neighborhood bar from New Girl. Getting in early on a weekday you can find plenty of seating. Fair prices, and very good food. Would recommend, has a chill vibe, not too loud. Good date location.

Always a great go to neighborhood bar.

Half and half was awesome, but next time we're getting spicy boneless chicken with mozzarella

우선 분위기가 유럽 전통 인테리어에 고급스럽다. 7시 전 해피아우어 50프로 할인도 마음에 든다.

Improper suggested gratuity on bill, snobby and unhelpful bartender, not worth price

This bar has some of the best cocktails I've ever had. The ambiance is incredible with warm lighting and good vibes from behind the bar. I've come for drinks a couple times and realized I had to try the food as well, and it did not disappoint. Definitely take a date here and get the kimchi rice cheese balls!

The fried chicken is just okay and over priced for how good it is. There are better options for KFC in the area in my opinion. My gf liked her kimchi pancake though. It was unusually hot inside when we went. But I can give them a break because we went during a heat wave. The atmosphere is cool to have drinks with someone.

Love everything about this place

한타에 있어서 한국스탈 예상했는데 분위기가 미국 영화에 나오는 그런 분위기라서 신선했습니다. 손님들도 미국사람들도 꽤 있어서 로컬 바에서 한국음식 먹는 기분이었는데 괜찮았습니다.

Totally rad. Fried chicken is legit. Lychee desert made it, for real, extra.

This was just perfect. The staff made us feel like home and the food was phenomenal. Great place for late-night korean fried chicken!

The food was fantastic but the service and care was even better. Absolutely delightful experience. Note: spicy is v spicy.

Order 1 fried chicken Togo and It was bussin. Friendly staff and quick service!

Just a short walk from the hotel I was staying at in Koreatown, I was excited to visit "Nick's bar from 'New Girl'." It did not disappoint. To not be too touristey about it I insisted my friends not talk about New Girl and ordered a couple of rounds of drinks. The drinks were all amazing. If I lived in Koreatown (as my friends did) this would be my local hangout. I also got some chicken fried rice to go which did not disappoint.

The best tong-dak (Korean deep fried chicken) in Ktown.

Such a cool place to see and visit. So much history and the decor is art. Symmetry is amazing, who ever designed and built was an artist. Food and service not really great. Our server seemed to be bothered by our questions as well as the bartender.

One of the unique charming bars in a historical building that takes you back in time, and have been used in a number of movie and TV shows. Love the decor!!! Interestingly, you can get your usual bar drinks on top of the Korean bar foods and meals. ChiMac (fried chicken and beer) seems to be the popular choice.

classic, old-school dark LA bar! definitely worth a visit just for the space itself. big booths bathed in red light. formerly the set for the bar in new girl. the drinks are solid! altogether would recommend.

My favorite spot to be on a Friday night! Great drinks, and great food!

Wow! The vibe was great, the portions were huge and the drinks were amazing. The fact that New Girl was filmed there was also sooo awesome. I will be back for more!

Fried chicken is the best here.

Decor is interesting, service is decent. Half and half chicken was quite good, but the squid noodles were very meh.

The food here was great. The atmosphere here is so relaxed and chill. It's got a european bar aesthetic, but it serves some top-tier Korean food. They also offer valet parking, only $3. So worth it.

Not a typical Asian eatery. Enjoyed the experience

Cute concept! The decor is super unique and the drinks were 10/10! We went on a Thursday night and worried that we wouldn’t get a spot but it was quieter than expected! Check it out!!

This place is an amazing hidden gem in Koreatown. 100% old school. Definitely worth a visit!

Great food, good drinks, amazing vibe. I felt like i was in a movie.

Great place, same as it was 20 years ago

Pretty neat experience overall, only giving it 4 stars because my top Korean Fried Chicken spot remains "No. 1 Best Fried Chicken" in Dallas. The restaurant itself has some neat history though and the Pina Colada was on point.

Love the interior of this place . Nice ambiance. Good food and drinks.

We usually go for drinks and atmosphere, but we finally ate at this place and dangg, it was good. We ordered so much food and tore it up. Love this place. Such a weird romantic space and extra cool that it’s the bar from New Girl.

Amazing interior! Had so much fun looking at all the art. Very Stanley Kubrick meets harry Potter vibes! The bar is center stage and the drinks are fun n strong ✨

Get the kimchi pancake. Mandatory!

One of the best bars in the area. Parking can be a little troublesome, but 100% worth the experience. First off, the bar itself is very neat. The medieval-like setting is unique and super cool. The korean family running the bar is lovely. They were extremely welcoming and took care of all our cravings. We ordered the half & half chicken and a korean beer. They had a wide selection of different foods like bulgogi and fried pancakes, but their chicken is what they're known for. And wow, the seasoning and sauce used for the spicy chicken is amazing. TL;DR A must try Korean bar that serves amazing chicken and drinks

We had the best dinner here while my daughters (ages 17 and 20) fangirled over the venue. Their favorite show, “New Girl” was filmed here and the owner made it extra special by letting them take pictures at the bar.

I love the atmosphere 😍, good food.
