The concept is awesome.
Could be improved with a little wifi.

The decor was weird, some Eastern themed seating, bar seating and a lot of televisions.

It was cool that we did not have a waiter bothering us the entire meal, the games were fun and wasted some time and paying the bill was quick.

We only ordered salads. The mixed greens was good, except my avocado was way too ripe. I couldn't even eat it because it was so hard. My BF's caesar salad was super fishy smelling and tasting.
It was kind of expensive for such poor quality.
I was actually reminds me of an improved Applebee's.

Like I said, cool concept the food could use great improvements.

The only downer about this awesome little joint, is the distance from my house in Santa Monica.

The salmon and tuna nights are the best idea ever! How can you beat $1 sashimi?!

The sake club is just plain brilliant!
The girls are quick to fill you cup, plus you can take it home a design it! I rest at peace knowing that no one else will enjoy all you can drink sake from my special cup!  

Defiantly worth checking out, even if it just for the sake club!

It saddens me to write this review.
Mostly because I use to LOVE this place.
Many of my best night in Vegas began here, no matter where on the strip I was staying I would go to MGM for sushi.

However this last visit was a disappointment.
The staff was slow and seemed confused.
They seated us with only one menu, which I still cannot figure out.
Many times my water glass was empty and I had to ask for a refill.
Our food took over 45 minutes to come out, while other groups who were seated after us had already eaten and were signing their checks.

Usually we get Orange chicken and sushi but this time we went for more Chinese food, big mistake.

The portion of the Orange Chicken seemed to have been cut in half while the price increased, since July. The chicken was okay but it use to be better. The curry rice noodles were more bland than curry. The shrimp in with the rice noodles were not marinated and had no flavor.  

At least my favorite bottle of sake is still worth the money, however the price of that has almost doubled in the last year.

All in all pretty disappointing meal for $100.

I am not sure what happened to this place but it seems to have gone down hill at warp speed. Not sure if I will be eating here ever again.

Went here for my birthday this past weekend and had a great time!
It was industry night plus there was a tattoo convention in town.
Needless to say the crowd was super hot!

The decor is chic, very Vegas, but unlike any other Vegas nightclub I have been in.
The VIP girls are hot and friendly, and there is no line for the bathroom.  That is as good as it gets when it comes to night clubs!

The huge downer, drinks are seriously like $20 for a sky & cranberry.
We had a couple of bottles so we were not really effects by the price. however I doubt I would ever go here for just drinks after finding that out.

I know its Vegas, but seriously that is just plain crazy, and everyone who pays that is just plan crazy!

I have been desperately searching for some authentic, good quality Mexican food since I moved to the West side.
It seems every place I find is disgusting or part of a chain.
Needless to say I have been disappointed and left craving a bean and cheese burrito for almost two years now.

No I did not drive to Covina just for Mexican food, however I would not rule it out in the future!
My BF and I were out in Covina dropping our boat off for service when we passed this little joint on the corner.

The decor is slightly out of date, but it reminded me of the places I use to go with my family back in Texas!
We were immediately greeted and seated.
They place was pretty busy for 11 am on a Wednesday.

Our food came quick and was exactly what I had been craving!
My burrito was so big it actually served as three meals for me.
My BF ordered the chicken enchilada special and left with a full plate of rice and beans!

If you are in this area I would check this place out, I plan to next time I am in Covina!

I stayed here a few weeks ago even though I live in Santa Monica.
I helped plan a conference and we had our after party at Hopscotch, which is the pool bar at the Custom.

The employees at the Custom are friendly and were super helpful with getting rates for our out of town guests and drink specials for our party.

The decor is trying a little too hard to be modern.
Not so much in the down stairs lobby but very much so in the rooms. I am not quite sure what is going on with the dog themed rooms or the rooster tables but I found it all to be a little weird. The bathroom was decent size, the shower could stand to higher on the wall,  and the bed was comfortable.

The breakfast food down stairs was yummy, perfect for my hangover.
Huge plus is they provide to-go cups for your coffee when requested.

I would stay here again and hold another party at the pool.
The out of towners found the sheep and rooster table amusing.

Everyone I know says this place is great followed by a but......

On a Thursday night I saw just what they were talking about.

This place is loud, super loud. I almost tripped over the people sitting at the bar with their suitcases.
The crowd was not impressive and on the older side.
My BF and I waited for five minutes to order a drink and were never even acknowledged. I went to try and get a table and the hostess seemed to busy texting.
While waiting for my car from valet I saw a waiter take food from James' Beach over to Canal Cafe, with no cover. To me that is just disgusting.

I stayed for about ten minutes and NEVER plan on going back.

I almost hate to review this place for fear it will become over crowed! lol
But in all seriousness this just might be one of Santa Monica's best kept secret that needs to be told.

The decor is a nice up scale lounge. The staff is friendly and helpful.
The choice of wine is decent.
Not only can you buy the wine by the taste, glass or bottle you can also take your favorite bottle home with you.
The price of wine is very affordable, plus you can do a pay as you go tasting as well.
The food was delicious, a little on the expensive side but worth every penny.

You could stop by here on your way home from work, meet up with friends or take a date! With happy hour specials you cannot go wrong!

I really wanted to love this newly opened pool bar. I mean my first visit was a super hot Sunday afternoon, the perfect setting for a relaxing day of fun.

Like I said the setting of this pool and bar could not be better, over looking Hollywood and downtown. Not to mention the awesome and totally unique pagoda that was originally from Japan. Unfortunately kick ass architecture cannot make up for the sorry excuse for service.

The afternoon started off okay, my friend reserved two cabanas and some how we did not have a waitress. A little odd to me but wheatever we were right by the bar. When we arrived at 1:30 I ordered a bottle of water from a waitress by the pool. Stupid me I started a tab with her, I say stupid me because she NEVER came back to take another oder. Seriously it was over 100 outside and this girl never came by my group to take an other order in three hours?!

When my BF finally hunted her down she said, "I already have four orders I cannot take yours right now." Seriously this girl makes her money off of taking orders, if you cant remember write it down. Not an overly complicated job. Needless to say after I asked her to close my it still took her thirty minutes to bring me my check.

Half of the crowd was cool and laid back. The other half resembled a Motel 6 pool party, little kids and all.

Needless to say I will not be back to Pagoda Bar, if for some reason I do I will be prepared with my own bottles of water so I do not dehydrate in the 100+ degree heat weaves.

I placed an order for pick up on my way home from Vegas.

Starving, I called about thirty minutes before I hit Brentwood hoping my food would be ready. Not so much my friends.

Not only was my food not ready I had to stand around for about ten minutes waiting for it. So it took them forty minutes to prepare a to go order?! I personally think they just forgot about the order until I showed up.

Once I got the food home I realized just how small the portions are for what I paid. Furthermore the food had very little flavor, except spicy.

If you like to pay too much and walk away still hungry then this is the place for you!

However, there is an awesome little Indian joint on Montana, its worth the five minute drive.
