Poke sampler is twice the size of just one for an extra $3. Tuna & avocado and shrimp, scallions and herbs. Comes with rice. Hush puppies of taro with cheese dill and sweet chilli

A-Frame's unlimited pancake brunch was featured on season 3 of BuzzFeed's Worth It. Check out the banana mac, lilikoi, pog (passionfruit, orange, guava), and buttermilk chicken pancakes.

Housed in a renovated IHOP, start with the Furikake Kettle Corn and end with the pound cake cinnamon churros. Great music inside but sit outside for a better chance of hearing what your company says.

Tired of burgers and hot dogs? Try a different kind of American cuisine. Corn kettle as an appetizer and a fish taco as a main course. For dessert try the chu-don't-know churros or the funnel cake.

The baja fish taco is 'playful' with the pickled jalapeño, crème fraîche, and Cotija cheese. There's great spice from the salsa roja, and the fish is just great. Read more

The hambagu steak meat is a nice alternative to the traditional hamburger patty on loco mocos. A lot softer, similar to the texture of a salisbury steak but much more flavorful.
Diane McClureSeptember 22, 2019
The swordfish is wonderful but the kale coleslaw is awesome. The ingredient that makes it special is fennel. These magical pairings are why Chef Choi is so amazing

$15 for all you can eat pancakes + $16 for bottomless brunch cocktails. If you can resist the AYCE allure, either the Loco Moco or Surfer's Sandwich (+ fried egg) is a worthy alternative.

As far as first impressions go, "all you can eat chicken night" is second only to "free money and BJs night." Food was fire. Ambiance is great. A copycat of nothing. Highly recommended.

Potatoe Pancakes: amazing! "Bloody Maria":GREAT! Spam sandwich:good. The plate lunch with the stew and "fresh grass-fed organic beef": HUGE disappointment! Hamburger tasted like a McDonald's patty. :(
Natalie BubaloOctober 22, 2012
The swordfish tacos are fantastic, as are their octopus, chicken and apparently the ribs. The topper, though, was the cinnamon churro dessert. I was forced to try them and was so glad I did. AMAZING.
Thomas ColtonJune 26, 2015
Best loco moco I've ever had, hands down. The entire menu is tremendous. Have a drink and enjoy the communal seating. Hawaiian vibes with an urban Korean twist.
Travel + LeisureSeptember 21, 2012
A lively ski-chalet-style restaurant housed in a former IHOP, serving up inventive dishes such as beer-marinated crispy chicken with kimchi and two salsas.

Order an Up in Smoke at A-Frame, with Vida Mezcal, Altos Tequila, lime, habanero and pineapple. Photo provided by A-Frame. Read more

This has just become my new favorite place in LA. They took over an old iHop and gutted it. Amazing shared plates like ribs and shrimp. Delicious drinks. Reasonable… (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

You can't go wrong ordering a double cheesburger. Also if you're with some friends and are willing to indulge - you should absolutely get the "Chu-don't-know-mang" churros. Mindblowingly good.
Big T.December 21, 2013
Nice restaurant. I was in the mood for a rib eye and was attracted by the price. A-Frame proved you get what you pay for. Get the steak at Waterloo & City next door. Better quality meat.
Rayshawn WilliamsMay 31, 2016
The hoisin chili glaze on the O.G. Ribs is awesome! Literally had me licking the bones after the meat was gone.
Serious EatsSeptember 17, 2013
Small dinner plates with a picnic feel from chef Roy Choi, with lots of cocktails and a perfect Beer Can Chicken.

Awesome food, very cool staff, a bit loud inside, very chill outside seating, great and strong drinks, very good chef... Good for small groups (max 7-8)
Go Find AliceApril 23, 2015
Beautiful beautiful plates and outdoor seating. Must try their kettlecorn and beer cracklin fried chicken!
StephJuly 29, 2012
Place is hard to spot so look for a converted IHOP. They also don't take reservations so get there early to avoid a ridiculous wait. A must for dessert... the "Chu-Don't-Know-Mang" churros!
Fred StephensAugust 20, 2014
Hooked. The wings and the unlimited pancakes are enough to garner a cult following. Sit outside with good with hood friends and enjoy good food.
Maia K.S.March 13, 2015
New hawaiian theme is 👌, but warning, gets pricey quick! Homemade Spam musubi is nothing compared to the real thing in Hawaii; though.
Kitt HodAugust 18, 2018
The all-you-can-eat pancakes are filling and delicious and oh-so-worth a special treat. The owner started the Los Angeles food truck movement, so knows good, quick food.
Kaia HemmingNovember 25, 2012
Visiting from NYC and this was one of the best meals I've had in awhile! Good vegetarian options. Island farmer's market salad and churros were amazing!!!
Kyle HarrisJune 20, 2011
One of the best new restaurants in LA. Loved the comunal seating and portions. Beer canned chicken and ribs are a must. Plus check out their cocktail menu, so many options! A young hot spot!
Ryan BuenaventuraAugust 25, 2013
The cracklin beer can chicken and baby back ribs are famous but the Furikake pop corn is a must. Crazy buttery!
Angela WebbSeptember 23, 2011
Love this place. chef attended my alma mater The French Culinary Institute. Food is great. Scandinavian barnhouse interiors. They offer you bread and butter while waiting. Bread is insanely good.
LalisDecember 31, 2018
This place is freaking delicious! Must if you are in town... All dishes are delicious!
AmayaJuly 22, 2017
Try the street corn, Brussels beach and definitely get the beer can chicken if you like juicy crispy delicious chicken
Daniel L.November 15, 2012
Split a whole order of the Beer Can chicken with a friend and sit by the bar to feel less like you're in a cafeteria. Great food by Chef Choi!
Brian NunneryMarch 2, 2015
Bottomless pancakes and mimosas. Because bottomless pancakes and mimosas. Try the Lilikoi Butter or POG pancakes, they're great!
Jeet MarwadiFebruary 23, 2016
Bottomless Bloodymarys are phenomenal. No satisfying vegetarian options, especially for brunch, but great pancake and chicken deal.
Adam HagenJanuary 12, 2019
The delish fish plate and street corn are highly recommended. Cool atmosphere and quality cocktails. We’ll be back!
Connie ChiuFebruary 11, 2017
Try the furkikake popcorn, pork belly wrap, musubi plate, and the coconut rye stout. Beer chicken was alright.
Nick TaylorApril 9, 2012
If its date night, beware of communal seating. Also watch out for the throwing popcorn on the counter... oh yea i forgot its picnic style. Good branding and marketing tho
Kayla JohnsonApril 19, 2015
Nice addition to the neighborhood. I've lived here my whole life, and it's nice to see good/fun restaurants popping up.
Ryan AmbsDecember 20, 2015
The sauces are so good that it almost doesn't matter what you order. Beer can chicken was cooked well. Skip the squash. Pork belly ssam was okay but ended up just eating it in pieces.
Mike ChauFebruary 17, 2013
Try the Westside Plate Lunch - Hearty stew over rice, fried eggs, hamburger patty and hot sauce. It's a hipster loco moco. Pretty good.
CKJune 20, 2012
Communal Tables. Order everything and anything, but don't forget to have "Chu-Don't-Know-Mang" at the end of your meal! I daydream about it all the time.
Larisa GrollemondFebruary 22, 2017
Unlimited pancakes, bottomless brunch cocktails--this place is the best.
Nick BurdFebruary 2, 2014

Beer can chicken, octopus, Vietnamese salad, and lamb meatballs. Everything here is great but those are my favs.
ShelleyJune 24, 2012
They have Cocchi here!! Best Italian invention ever. Try it in the Pale Rider: gin, cocchi americano, dolin blanc, grapefruit bitters
Jon BerryAugust 29, 2011
Amazing and beautiful re-use of an IHOP. Great beer selection (Weihenstephaner! Curieux!) but a little disappointed they serve all the beers in pilsner glasses.
Becca MochiMarch 21, 2018
There's a secret bottomless fried chicken and mimosa brunch, just order the fried chicken pancakes without the pancakes 👌🏼
Valerie NunisMarch 9, 2014
The beer can chicken, baby back ribs and fish tacos were amazing! Good gin cocktails too.
jennifer hanNovember 23, 2010
communal style dining is fun. order the ribs, steak torta, dyn-o-mite potato and get messy! apple pie & cheddar ice cream is good but skip the thick-ass ice cream sammie. it's hard as concrete.
Syed NaqviSeptember 4, 2013
Learned the hardest that the Ribeye is just not enough food for the price. Devastated an otherwise great first impression from the Clam chowder the night before. Will take my time going back. Shame.
