The Goldfish - Los Angeles (CA)

4 /5 Marisol Morales: Went on a weekend afternoon very cool atmosphere, Victor was a great bartender and gave recommendations for drinks. Was pretty empty at the time but I can see it get packed at night. Only down side was that a lot of the games were either broken or steal quarters and not spit it back out but was a fun time either way

5 /5 Chris Clearday: Loved this place! Great vibes! The music venue is great and I love that the bar area is separated so you could talk at the tables and hear one another, yet you could still hear the music in the background. The Thai food was an unexpected bonus and super delicious. All around a fantastic experience.

3 /5 Sally Stempler: I love this spot generally. My review comes out of frustration. I celebrated my birthday out with friends Saturday and was hoping to go to the goldfish. Their instagram had no events listed for saturday but out of caution, I emailed, messaged them on instagram twice, commented on instagram, messaged some bartenders/staff that were tagged in their posts, called sticky rice HP AND sticky rice echo park both many times, all to check there were no events or shows going on, or anything with a cover. I did this over the course of a week. no response on instagram or email, no one picked up the phone. We get there in the pouring rain and the people at the door say theyre closed for a private party. I find this to be super unprofessional. I wasnt the only person they turned away as well, i could tell there were others there standing out in the pouring rain who had been turned away. I ended up having to frantically text all of my pals and tell them the change of plan. Now, hosting a private event is no crime, but it would have been awesome if 1) they posted on their socials they would have been closed and 2) someone got back to me after *repeated* attempts to get in touch with somebody. Especially given the forecast, it would been great so folks heading out in the pouring rain could plan accordingly.

5 /5 Austin Kinser: 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 comment out??? Hmmm
