Best Cheap Michelin Star Restaurants In Los Angeles Near Me

Nora Zhang: A chic Michelin 1star restaurant in DTLA. Menu is very simple but you’d be surprised by how many “gifts/dishes” chef send you. You’ll end up having way more than what’s indicated on the menu. Definitely full after the meal.All ingredients are fresh and delicious. Not fishy at all. Ingredients compliment each other and create a beautiful harmony. I recommend adding the seafood porridge. It’s savory and delicious. 1 serving can be shared between 2 people.Services is to the standard. Seat arrangements are comfortable and provide enough privacy for each table.

Sarah Stallman: Amazing prix fixe experience. Small, intimate space that gives individualized service. We ordered the standard 5-course meal, but they threw in a few extras that were fantastic. They also accommodated for gluten sensitivity, which I was very appreciative of. The plates are small, but we left with very full stomachs. Nice wine and beer selection. Would definitely come back to experience this again!

Michelle Barnes: Exceptional and very filling seafood focused tasting menu! My sister and I dined here to celebrate her birthday. The tasting menu has 5 courses and we also opted to get the add on seafood porridge. They ended up serving us 4+ extra courses as well so you get plenty of food! They started off with a warm savory soup with caviar. We then had a yellowtail fish with snow peas and okra. Our next course was dungeness crab with mandarin, pear persimmon, avocado, and parmesan. This was definitely one of the standouts for us! We were then served an extra course of Sacramento caught sturgeon with purple sweet potato. The next was a butternut squash ravioli with 3 cheeses and 2 types of truffle, which was another favorite! This was followed up with an extra course of Japanese needle fish with an asparagus broccoli veggie crossover and yuzu butter. The satsuki rice seafood porridge followed after. I wouldn't say it's necessary to get this dish if you're concerned about being hungry after. We enjoyed the rice porridge itself but weren't huge fans of most of the seafood in the porridge. The next course was a New Zealand fish with breakfast radish and trumpet mushrooms. An extra course of strawberry cornbread followed, which was excellent, and we finished off with a chocolate ganache with marscapone, poached pear, and caramel. Overall fantastic and delicious meal at an affordable price for a Michelin star restaurant and would highly recommend!

Veronica Ng: This was our first Michelin star experience in LA and we were quite impressed! The standout was surprisingly the beverage pairing, mostly European wine and one pouring of sake. The pairings all tasted great in their own, but with the food, the flavours were truly enhanced by each other!During our seating, the chef actually gave us a feel complimentary items which we very much appreciated! It seemed like the other tables did as well. While it was thoughtful, we actually felt like the complimentary items ruined the flow and rhythm of the tasting menu. We really appreciated the extra dishes but it kinda downgraded the experience actually…. Maybe they were trying new dishes? The actual items on the menu were very delicious, well thought out and creative. The salad and pasta dish were the most memorable!! In terms of the Japanese and Italian fusion, I did see elements of both but the dishes were leaning towards the Italian side. I want to say 30% Japanese and 70% Italian.Atmosphere-wise, I really like how it was a bit more casual. The open kitchen was very nice and they only had a few seatings so was a very intimate experience with my fiancé.WOULD I COME AGAIN? Yes, mainly because I was surprised by the beverage pairing and really appreciated it. I don’t feel like other restaurants truly do the beverage pairing this well and would want to come back to experience this again. The pritce point is also fair. I wouldn’t say the $$ was worth it in ingredients, but in the “art” of the dishes.

עדי אלתר: I had the tasting menu, and it was delightful. The meal lasted just the right amount of time. I don’t enjoy when restaurants drag out meals too much, this menu had the perfect amount of food and every dish I was served was to my liking which is rare!The dishes I enjoyed the most were the egg custard, the crab, the vegetable dish and the pasta- but really, everything was good.The service was also, very kind. Special thanks to Roman!I would love to visit again in the future.

Malcolm Baines: The miso soup at this restaurant is a delightful appetizer. Served hot, it exudes a rich, savory aroma. The well-balanced broth offers a perfect blend of salty and umami flavors, thanks to the miso paste. The tofu is exceptionally silky, the seaweed provides a delightful contrast in texture, and the scallions add a fresh aroma. This dish is a harmonious combination of traditional Japanese flavors and high-quality ingredients, making it a must-try for those seeking an authentic and satisfying miso soup experience.

Arman Mamnoon: Absolutely the best dining experience I've experienced to date. Service, Food, Atmosphere, everything was beyond belief.We celebrated my best friends birthday last night and had an unforgettable experience. Private room, the best food, the best service by Martin and the team, what more could you ask for.We will 1000% be coming to more often to celebrate future milestones.

Magda Kernie: Delicious, Beautiful and Welcoming!!Seriously. I've never been to a fancy place like this, and I think it's like 250 a person. As someone who is frugal, this places is well worth the money.This experience was like no other. I'd never had caviar, scallops, duck, wagyu. Everything was delicious. And very fillings. Like I was very full 75% of the way in. And could have stopped but the courses kept coming.And it was all bomb. Not all of the dishes will knock your socks off, but many will, And you won't leave hungry.And the service...nailed it. Kind and welcoming people. Educated us on every dish, and treated me, the host of the dinner, extremely well. They treated everyone well, but especially me, which was awesome.This experience could not have gone better. Thank you Sarah and Team!

Marlene Guardado: You absolutely have to dine here! Everything from the food, to the service, to the wine/cocktails and ambiance was absolutely incredible. My significant other doesn’t eat raw fish and I forgot to mention it when booking, but the staff asked at the start of the meal and they were happy to accommodate the preference despite it being last minute. The somm absolutely nailed the pairing the night I was there. My group loved every single pour so much that we asked for a detailed list of the tasting. Overall, everything was fantastic and I quite enjoyed the perfect balance between friendly and professional when it came to the service.Thank you for an incredible night!

Chiara Gallo: We celebrated our 10years anniversary at Providence LA and we had such a tasteful culinary journey. Everything was phenomenal. From the main dishes and the different side menu such as Maines oysters, chitarra truffle pasta, prawns, Comte truffle. There were the best things we put into our body in 2024 so far. Again everything was excellent and very well wine paired. One of our most desirable restaurant to revisit.

David Baker: A very nice experience.Service was a little spotty: At one point, a diner was served a dish they were deathly allergic to, after the restaurant had multiple warnings. On another course, half the plates at the table didn't have the sauce that went with the protein. The room was a bit cramped, with servers having to ask diners to push in their chairs. Halfway through the meal, our server had to leave and handed off duties to someone else. We waited a long time for the bill at the end of the meal and eventually I went hunting through the restaurant for a server, learning that they'd charge everything to the credit card on file; it would have been nice to be told that, and given the opportunity to review the charges.Still, the food was fantastic.

Christopher Kim: , а также сырное блюдо. Поскольку у нас было сочетание вин, которое обычно достигает кульминации в этих двух блюдах, сомелье поступил правильно и решил дать нам вместо этого две порции резервного вина, которое обычно зарезервировано для особых гостей вместе с десертным блюдом. Я мог бы продолжать и продолжать, но на самом деле очень спокойный и любезный персонал действительно делает это место особенным, и я не могу дождаться, чтобы вернуться сюда снова. Временами мне было неловко просить упаковать готовое меню, но сотрудники не придавали этому большого значения и старались изо всех сил желать нам счастливой годовщины в любой момент, когда могли; мы действительно поражены персоналом Кали и уровнем их преданности делу. Спасибо вам всем!

Maryam Khoshreza: Kali, безусловно, один из ресторанов Мишлен, который вам стоит попробовать. Еда была невероятно вкусной и, что удивительно, не очень дорогой. очень доступный ресторан со звездой Мишлен. Я обязательно вернусь снова. Персонал был очень приятным и дружелюбным. Даже мы встретили владельца, шеф-повара Кевина. он был очень крутым, приземленным и дружелюбным с нами, мидии на Краудед-Бич были одними из лучших мидий, которые я когда-либо ел, даже мы заказали еще больше. Я обязательно вернусь снова, чтобы попробовать это блюдо. А ещё десерт был одним из самых вкусных блюд того вечера, мы там очень хорошо провели время!

Nicole Crawford: The Sommelier was top tier and absolutely lovely. The Farmers Market salad was thoughtfully and beautifully prepared- a must try. The bread came at an odd time, but it was nice. The squash soup was an entire meal for me, but the Cod looked amazing! The service could not have been better. It’s not a romantic or softy lit spot, but it’s an experience you don’t want to miss if you’re in search of excellence.Vegetarian options: The Farmers Salad was amazing- the squash soup was lovely, but wasn’t vegan.Parking: They share the valet - $12.

Andy S: Exceptional dining experience at Kali. While the cuisine is high quality, expertly prepared and delicious, there is a passion and “realness” that comes through with every dish. The crudo and pastas are not to be missed. The wine and beverage list is well curated, offering compelling options at a variety of price points . Hospitality and service round out the whole evening for a memorable dinner. I can’t wait to return!

Dora Rousse: Great atmosphere! Friendly service. We had uni pasta, highly recommended Rich and creamy with texture. Then we had tilefish with beurre blanch, sauerkraut, black trumpets and lacto fermented cabbage, the fish was perfectly cooked, so creamy. Next course we had a pork chop perfectly cooked, with caramelized apples. We finish with merengue gelato with shaved egg yolks, so creamy and delicious and passion fruit gelato. Thanks to the nice team for a great night!!!!

Jan Kwak: Lovely little restaurant with terrific atmosphere. The wines are paired beautifully with 7 courses of very high end dishes. Gary the chef focuses on preparing dishes based on what is in season at the time and does a terrific job, even cooks it right in front of you, a bit Japanese style. The staff are very hospitable and make it a very enjoyable evening.Vegetarian options: It was a full vegetarian menu with a choice to choice to add a small wagyu beef to one of the courses for an extra charge.

Michael Cook: Такой замечательный опыт! Шеф-повар Гэри и его команда подарили нам один из самых запоминающихся обедов. Интимная обстановка из 10 человек, наблюдение за работой команды и беседа до и после ужина была невероятной. Дегустационное меню вегетарианское с несколькими дополнительными опциями, поэтому еда, которую вы едите, вам понравится.
