Chateau Hanare - Los Angeles

Alright it’s expensive, to be up front. The ambiance is intimate and great, everything clean. The service was great! When we expressed that we didn’t like a dish waitress took it off the check without us having to say anything more (we didn’t really intend for the food to be taken off, but she was glad to accommodate). Now the part where points get docked off.. some of the dishes that came out weren’t all that great. The uni and caviar toast was great! The rice pot great! And best of all the pomegranate sorbet was amazing! Everything else was somewhat bland or just not worth the price. Oh and uni ice cream was off the menu when we went! (Apparently it’s been off for awhile? BEWARE- the aburi and anago rolls. Weird proportions and combination lol. The slice beef thing with white miso (forgot the name) was alright. I would recommend the place if you knew what you wanted, but be careful

Rude service. The food was poorly timed. Very slow kitchen and the manager was rude. This is a poorly run restaurant

Beautiful, tucked away restaurant in the heart of WeHo, Ambiance was great and the food too. Portions for some items a bit small for the value, but overall a filling meal. Will go again

Customer service was excellent and the food was incredible! Worth every penny The silken tofu, made in-house, is delicious

We were very excited for out first visit to Chateau Hanare to celebrate a family birthday. The ambience is really nice, especially like the way the entrance sets a mood. Our booth was nicely located and comfy. Service by secondary wait staff was good. Our waitress, though attentive enough, made us feel rushed from the start. Plus she exhibited an attitude that made one feel the need to walk on eggshells. Rough, forceful, hurried. We, as a group, are very well traveled, nothing about her demeanor felt Japanese, or LA-ease for that matter. Unfortunately person-to-person interactions can set the mood. The presentation of “toasts” was fun with the smokey dome. The caviar toast exquisite. However, the avocado toast fools no one. for one tiny sliver of a California basic. Nothing special, except the price. The special margarita is really nice. We all decided we would sometime come back for the cocktail, and maybe an appetizer. We will not be recommending dinner. Sorry, we really were hopeful, and hope food, prices, and service gets better
