Birdhouse

Very cute little spot with delicious ramen and tacos. Painkiller was fantastic! Feel like server forgot to bring the other part of our order and how everything went. Decor in this place is fantastic!

The Thai curry ramen is my favorite, it’s definitely on the spicy side, but worth it. I’d recommend asking for the tempura on the side so it stays crisp and doesn’t get soggy. Also the tea tiramisu is amazing. Service has been consistently great, and the food always comes out quickly. Highly recommend!

Food: I tried the edamame and birdhouse flight for my appetizers, and tonkotsu ramen and carne asade taco for my entree. Let’s start with the birdhouse flight: we had the salsa with cinnamon and cloves (it starts with a b, ask your waiter for the name) offering a unique twist on salsa as we know it. But wow, when I tried it my mind was blown, it was no longer a salsa but a beautiful dipping sauce packed full of flavorful spices and a slight hint of tomato. The guacamole was also very good, it had pepitas on top offering a nice crunch and salty flavor. It had a good spice mix and it tasted very fresh. The queso was my least favorite of the trio, but it was still good. There was nothing too outstanding about it. I would say eat this when it’s fresh and hot because the texture changes as it gets colder. Next up, the edamame. Wow, this was my favorite thing out of everything (entrees included). It had flaky sea salt on top offering great flavor, and the beans were cooked nicely. The dipping sauce was like nothing I’ve had (okay maybe it is just not served with edamame). It had a mustardy flavor, but also sweet, and salty. It was just comfort and happiness in my mouth with every edamame bean. The carne asade taco was actually, in my opinion, not the best, it had a good sauce and good amount of cheese, but the meat wasn’t that great. It was dry and a little chewy. It wasn’t worth the price ($6.5). The tonkotsu ramen was yummy. I liked all the extra toppings you could add (I added marinated mushrooms which were fantastic) making it unique to you. The pork was great, when it’s soaked in the broth for a few minutes it soaks up all the flavor. The noodles were a great texture and tasted homemade (I don’t even know if they were)!! Service: Our server was excellent, helpful in deciding what to order and she made sure we were accommodated for. The food came out very fast for how busy it was. Atmosphere: There were lots of different styles found throughout the restaurant, but somehow they came together to give it an upscale feel, and the dim lighting gave it extra mood. Overall: I really enjoyed everything here, and everything was beautifully presented. All of the appetizers had a somewhat twist to them giving old classics exciting, modern feels. P.S. This is a contender for one of my longest reviews so if you made it this far thank you so much I appreciate that my review was interesting enough to hold your attention and didn’t feel like it was just me blabbing on and on like I am right now.

Birdhouse is a true gem, offering thoughtfully curated ingredients that come together to create incredible flavors. Every bite was a delight, showcasing the chef’s attention to detail and passion for quality. The service was equally exceptional, our server Emma was outstanding . Her insightful recommendations and warm, shining personality made our experience truly memorable. We’re already looking forward to our next visit—Birdhouse is a place we’ll definitely be returning to!

Tortillas are from fresh pressed blue corn maza in-house, not those have cheap blue colorant. I live in LA, and their tacos get my respect. 🫡

Great restaurant that really delivered on the menu and service. The food is really tasty and the service is very polite, friendly and professional. Check out the menu online then check out the experience. Reservation is recommended.

From start to finish everything was great. Our server Avery was personable, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. The restaurant is an interesting fusion of tiki, Japanese and tacos. We both got ramen and the portions were huge and the food was flavorful and the edamame are a must.
