"I visited on a saturday with two other people. The server was a little flustered, and as he under the drinking age he confessed he couldn 't make any cocktail recommendations from his own experience. The hostess provided some good recs, though. My companions each had the green curry in coconut milk with udon noodles, and they both loved it. I always try pad thai at every restaurant that has it, and I knew going in that this was not necessarily a 'classic ' PT, but something new, with a soy sauce base. Unfortunately it lacked the aspects of PT I appreciate the most namely, crisp bean sprouts, green onions, and peanuts (there were plenty of the latter at least). The sauce was too heavy and overpowered the delicate balance of the other ingredients, and the sauce 'puddled ' on the bottom as opposed to lightly coating the noodles. It didn 't taste bad, but the texture was just dull and boring without the crispness of fresh, less cooked bean sprouts and green onions, it just had an overall 'soft ' mouthfeel, with the thankful addition of good peanuts. The named, classic cocktails were all decidedly in the 'sweet ' category, with no 'dry, ' more savory cocktails to be found. I did enjoy the tequila mockingbird, with a hint of black pepper dusting the top. Overall, I 'd return and try other dishes, but I 'd probably pass on the cocktails entirely and stick with their large beer selection."

"If you are looking for a truly unique and special restaurant to frequent , please look no further than Yatai. My husband and I were lucky enough to find it one weekend last year during a stroll along Sunset Blvd and we now dine here every time we visit LA from Miami (as much as we can . This place is truly magical and unique. Everything gets an A+, the atmosphere is wonderful, the service is great and the food, well the food is absolutely out of this world. They offer all sorts of AsianTapas (small dishes at unbelievable prices and Sushi and the mix of flavors is to die for (and healthy too! . It is a great place to go as a couple for an intimate dinner or to meet a group of friends for a great night out. You can order and order dishes until you are bursting at the seams but never leave feeling like you have eaten too much and are uncomfortable. We cannot get good ethnic food in Miami and originally being from the UK we miss Asian food terribly. Well miss no more; The Chinese Chicken with creamy sesame dressing is the most tender chicken and most exquisite salad that we have ever tasted, I always get this as a takeaway for the plane journey back to Miami when we leave LA, it is THAT good. The special Spicy Crispy Shrimp is always on offer so do not miss that on the specials menu. Although I was never a fan of sushi I must say Yatai has transformed me into a sushi eater! If you like Shrimp please try the Spicy Crispy Shrimp Rolls they are truly delectable. Ooops, almost forgot the important part, do not miss out on their wonderful cocktails or Saki poured from a hollow bamboo cane either! Yatai truly offers everything you could ever wish for in a restaurant and if you are lucky enough to frequent lunch or dinner the owner and staff always makes you feel very welcome. Be careful though, you could walk right past the entrance which is a small doorway off of an opening on Sunset. MOST INTIMATE AND UNIQUE RESTAURANT IN LOS ANGELES, DO NOT MISS OUT!! !!"
