Frequently closed for filming, The Prince may be familiar to you: its room was immortalized in Chinatown (1974), where Jack Nicholson plays a private detective in the 1930s. It has to be said that the charm of the historic building and the decor of the premises contribute greatly to the reputation of this bar-restaurant. On the menu: excellent Korean cuisine, accompanied by one - or more - cocktails. Special mention goes to the friendly staff. But be warned: some dishes are spicier than they appear!

great atmosphere, especially if you’re a new girl fan. the menu was definitely overpriced, even for the place/location. the “seasoned” tofu plate was just a plate of plain tofu with a tiny jar of what tasted like pure oil mixed with something crunchy. a very odd choice, not worth the price. great service tho!

overhyped spot, came here a few times bc I lived nearby but it was decent. Only worth it during happy hour & drinks aren’t the best. We came here on a Friday one night, waited for about 20-30min to be seated which was no issue. Once seated, they took our orders and came back 40+min later with our drinks, we then ordered the 2nd round on the spot which no joke took 1 hour to get. We couldn’t find the server for the check and had to hunt someone down to get it. We didn’t tip bc it was pretty ridiculous waiting times compared to many other spots in LA. THE WAITER STOPPED OUTSIDE THE BAR TO ASK FOR A TIP!! He was upset we didn’t tip him anything, which we always do unless it’s pretty bad service… he was pressuring us to change the receipt to include tip but after some back and forth, we just decided to walk away… haven’t gone back since

Came here for the novelty of this being the location of where New Girl, Mad Men, and other shows were filmed. Waited an hour for a table but would recommend getting on the online app check in before arriving which we didn’t know until we got there. Service was fairly slow just for drinks.

Upon arriving at The Prince, it initially appears as a hotel, but stepping inside reveals a space adorned with Chinese decor, clearly a restaurant and bar. The standout dish here is the whole fried Korean chicken - a must-try and my main reason for visiting. Be prepared to pay a premium for this delicacy, as sides and drinks are extra. The ambiance transports you to Asia with its retro charm, yet upon exiting, the contrast of LA's upscale, modern neighborhood greets you. It's definitely worth a visit.

This used to be my favorite place to get spicy chicken but they recently changed their recipe. Now it tastes like frozen chicken nuggets heated up in a microwave and coated with their spicy sauce. Very disappointing as it is one of my favorite bars and After working dining spot. I hope they return to old recipe.
