Kali Los Angeles Reviews from The Last Year
The restaurant specializes in California minimalist and
The restaurant specializes in California minimalist and fresh cuisine. Before coming, I was warned that it might be hit or miss, so I had to try the Chef's Menu for myself. The first course was salmon sashimi with cucumber, which was refreshing. The second course of beef tartare made to look like a cigar on a bone got points for creativity, but it was a bit too gamey. The asparagus was light and fresh, perfect for spring, and I really enjoyed the simplicity of it. The pea and fava bean risotto with truffle was fragrant and light. The black cod was a bit overcooked and the skin wasn't crispy, but it was saved by the accompaniments. The first main course, the duck, had crispy skin but was a bit dry and uneven in doneness. The ribeye, which was substituted for the lamb for me, was a bit tough and not to my liking. The cheese course was too salty for my taste as I'm not a big fan of pure cheese. The dessert, salted egg yolk ice cream, was the highlight of the meal for me and saved the otherwise lackluster dinner. Overall, Kali doesn't use high-quality ingredients and the flavors are quite mild, lacking in uniqueness. If you have high expectations for food, you may be disappointed. However, I personally enjoy lighter flavors, so I found the vegetable dishes to be decent. Unfortunately, the seafood and meat dishes weren't up to par, and I don't plan on returning.
I had a lovely time here.
Nearly every dish worked for us, with most of them standing out on their own terms (especially the salad, duck, and the main dessert). Somewhat risk-averse I suppose, but just a lot of clear, accessible, bright flavors, a real sense of texture, and an emphasis--however obvious this sounds--on being tasty. A couple fun surprises, too. An energetic vibe, great and personable staff.
Four of us girl friends went and ordered a la carte since
Four of us girl friends went and ordered a la carte since we want to try many things. We are very pleased with the food from starter to deserts. Service is very friendly, not pretentious. Worth the drive from west side for me.
Kali is a one Michelin-star restaurant and a delight to eat
Kali is a one Michelin-star restaurant and a delight to eat at with friends on a weekend night. If you're craving a Michelin menu but don't want to wait months in advance, highly recommend Kali! You can find spots on weekends easily on OpenTable even last minute. That being said, it's not my favorite of the one Michelin stars simply because of price- the price it places on its tasting menu puts it solidly in the two-Michelin price range for only a single Michelin star. If it lived up to the two Michelin price, I would feel differently. However, the menu (with some hits and some misses) was solidly in the one Michelin category, which is a still a big compliment to the chef and Kali team. The perks of Kali is that you can focus on the flavor and the food, rather than the high-end service; Kali is the most down-to-earth Michelin restaurant I've been to and it's a nice break from steam-pressed napkins. Chef's Tasting menu as of March 2024 Beach house- favorite Beef tartare with egg yolk sauce, and cuttlefish sauce- favorite Market salad Celery root with side of homemade sourdough loaf with rosemary butter Cod was replaced with a pork ravioli with truffle shavings Added uni pasta, which was an absolute fan-favorite and would be worth going back for Cheese crisp was too salty and too strong, not a fan Egg white gelato was the hands down star of the show, I would have licked my plate clean (Probably missing a few items because I gave up on taking notes midway through and Kali doesn't provide a typed menu afterwards like most other Michelin restaurants I've been to due to their daily exchange of local ingredients) All in all, Kali was a delight to be found in Hollywood. Truly California eating, and as our wonderful server said, the chef shops weekly at the local farmer's market and subs in ingredientes on the menu accordingly. Wonderful vibes and tasty uni pasta!
Kali has become my fine dining go-to whenever I have the
Kali has become my fine dining go-to whenever I have the money to go. I have never been disappointed. The soups are always to die for, especially the squash and potato. The risotto is delish. And they serve what might be the best pork chop in Los Angeles. I've tried many of these at similar places, and I was never quite as satisfied as I am when I try the pork chop at Kali. And the staff is so friendly and kind. They are the best! Please support this place. They deserve it.
I came to Kali over the weekend for my friend's birthday
I came to Kali over the weekend for my friend's birthday (upon my recommendation because I have been wanting to come here for awhile) and I can wholeheartedly say that this restaurant is a scam and there are predatory business practices. 1. Forcing guests to buy bottled water: When the server came to our table and asked if we want still or sparkling, we said still (no mention of tap or bottle). Then a bottle of still water appeared and we collectively had 3 bottles of water throughout the course of our dinner. Coincidentally it wasn't until we finished our meal that they gave us tap water. Where was this tap water during the meal- who knows? All I know is that this added $24 (yes $8 a bottle) to our $1,000+ meal. I have been to multiple high end restaurants and have never had the waiter never even ask us if we wanted tap water, thereby forcing bottled water on us. Very predatory. 2. Terrible service: Our server was very unfriendly and a bit of a lurch. A long face and zero enthusiasm whatsoever. Also, they put 4 people at a table that was clearly for 2. Meanwhile they had big corner tables, no one bothered to seat us there. I assumed it was for a larger party but NOPE. They ended up putting a party of TWO at a table that was clearly too big for them. Maybe the host likes cramping larger groups onto smaller tables where they have barely any room to place all their food and drinks... 3. Awful food: By far, this is the most offensive and upsetting. They are charging $195 for a 5 course meal. 3 of the courses are on the menu for collectively $94 (duck breast, meringue gelato, and crowded beach). Thus, they are expecting people to believe that the two non-protein dishes are worth $100 (3 asparagus spears and pea risotto). For food that is mediocre at best, the tasting menu is a scam. I am deeply disappointed with every aspect of this meal and I hope someone finds this review helpful to avoid my experience and spend their hard earned money on a place that is providing quality food rather than mediocre food and bad attitudes.
When you're in Cali, it is an absolute must to experience
When you're in Cali, it is an absolute must to experience Kali. The high attention to detail from the classic, relaxed ambiance to the service, and the food and wine makes you feel like you're royalty. Be prepared for an exquisite, locally sourced meal packed with flavors that will make you so blissed out that your brain will tingle. You don't have to have an adventurous or refined palette to dine at Kali, just be open to trying new things and trusting the recommendation and you won't look back. From the Sea Urchin pasta, to the raw oysters, black cod and dry rubbed porterhouse, everything was so beautifully prepared, presented and paired with the perfect wine. Make sure to order the meringue gelato for dessert! It's unlike any dessert you've had or will ever have! Thanks to the owners and staff for taking such great care of us! We'll be back!
This was a fantastic experience.
We both did the Chef's Tasting Menu and it was phenomenal. It didn't rely on the same techniques between each course which is refreshing. In particular the black cod blew my mind. I often find black cod to be too soft and a little slimy, but the dry aging technique they used really eliminated that and it almost had the texture of halibut. The steak tartare dish was equally impressive. They also shined on the service. I can be a bit of a difficult customer with special cocktail requests and they rose to the occasion. It seems like they put a lot of effort into sourcing food and liquor and some of the staff had personal connections to the producers. After over 3 hours I am sure that my growing intoxication was jointly amusing and irritating to the staff but they not only tolerated me they made me feel like I was a regular. The restaurant is large enough that it doesn't feel cramped by small enough that it's not too loud. I look forward to eating here again next time I'm in Los Angeles.
DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY
This is not a Michelin star restaurant. The food was an absolute inedible disaster. Oyster was warm, scallop was smelly, steak was raw, and flavors were overall off…. Bread was inedible. Stay away.

We sat at the bar and ordered several dishes and a couple cocktails. The staff was friendly, service was excellent, and the food was absolutely spectacular. The steak tartare was a highlight. The restaurant is upscale but with a chill vibe.

Decent food.
The beef tartare and the ice cream are amazing. Ice cream powdered with salted egg yoke is an absolute blast. Flavorful and interesting. Add another layer of taste than just spraying salt water onto the ice cream. Other dishes in the chef menu are mediocre. The fish is good too. The oyster doesn't seem to be very fresh but im not sure. Service is not as good as expected from a Michelin star restaurant. Nothing really bad just not feel welcome. Ambiance is nothing special either.
Outstanding meal! Had the Chef's tasting menu with wine
Outstanding meal! Had the Chef's tasting menu with wine pairings. I cannot say enough good things about the composition of the menu and the excellent pairing choices. Service was friendly and attentive, they knew exactly when to approach the table. This restaurant definitely deserves its star. Well done! Can't wait to return.
This is a very good restaurant.
A nice meal. I'd recommend it, but each dish fell a little short. In any other city, this would be four or five stars. In LA, 3 stars. Highlights were the bread and the "crowded beach" starter. I love Uni. Ordered the Uni pasta. A great dish overall, but a little short on salinity. The Pork was good looking, not dry, but too tough. I couldn't get through half of it. Service excellent. Bar excellent.
We each had the 5 course seasonal menu.
For the price, I was not impressed. There was nothing wrong with the food, it was all delicious, but the overall presentation and flavors were on par with any other $$$ or $$$$ non-michelin restaurant. None of the bites of food gave me that moment of surprise, that moment of discovering something new or interesting that would make it worthy of its star. Service and ambience were good. The drinks we had were good. You have to find street parking, or else pay for valet.
Kali, Not a Michelin star experience
Disappointed. Kali does not deserve a Michelin star. It is a pretty good restaurant but it was inconsistent. Our server was not particularly friendly; he was very serious and did not make the experience a fun night out. We began with the oysters, which were delicious and beautifully presented. We also ordered the yellowtail crudo which was good but not outstanding. The apple was a nice flavor pairing with the fish but the pieces of crudo were small. And we also ordered the beef tartare cigars and they were good and once again beautifully presented but not particularly flavorful. One of our guests wanted an espresso martini but they did not make it so he ordered a Black Russian which was a watered down glass of coffee w ice and no alcohol. We returned it. The sommelier was pleasant and did his job nicely suggesting a Sancerre that was in our price range. 2 guests ordered the black cod…when they arrived, one looked vastly different than the other in both size and appearance; one had kale which looked nice and shiny and the other one’s kale looked steamed dull and wilted. The sea urchin pasta was good but slightly dry. The duck was ordered medium rare and was served rare/raw and needed to get sent back to the kitchen. Instead of sending a new plate out, the kitchen chopped it up to cook it longer and returned it to the table all hacked up. A Michelin star restaurant should not ever send a plate back looking like it did. The restaurant looks tired and our waiter did his job but did not smile nor seemed to enjoy serving his customers. We had one night in town for a special meal and it was not the meal I expected. There are many other Michelin star restaurants I could hv chosen for a special night out with family and friends. I was disappointed as were our foodie guests. Appetizers were beautifully presented but the rest of the meal was lackluster.
Good food, not-so-good everything else
Food: Very Good/Excellent Ambiance: Sterile, No Charm Service: Friendly, But Unconscious Etc: Extra $2 charge for two olives. Really! On balance: Too many shortfalls to merit a second visit.
Far from Michelin Star quality
We had a couple of days in LA, and wanted to test one of the areas Michelin Star restaurants. After careful consideration we chose Kali, mostly because of the local vibe of the place. When the day of the appointment came, we were really looking forward to having a feast. We therefore ordered the tasting menu, as well as the wine-pairing. When the first dish came we were all excited, but unfortunately it didn’t last long. From start to finish, with very few exceptions, the dishes were blend, and boring. Don’t get me wrong, it all tasted ok, but far from what you would expect from a Michelin Star restaurant. Besides from the food, the service was also just average. Our waiter was polite and attentive, until two girls in the bar were more interesting. I really don’t blame him for trying to hook up with girls instead of waitering on us, but again it is far from Michelin Star quality. I am sorry to say that if you want to eat at Kali whilst it has a a star, you have to hurry. I doubt the restaurant will survive the next review from the inspectors if something serious is not done.

Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
