Mother Tongue Restaurant

I went a couple weeks ago and got the beet hummus as a starter. It was fine. After that, I got the bass. It was a bit small, but still amazing. Although, I did have to send it back and have another dish brought to me because the first one had shrimp in it. On the menu, it didn’t mention shrimp. But again, the bass and the curry-like sauce that it was served in were delicious. The chef sent out a sashimi dish that was a bit overwhelming, but very good. He even came to the table to ask me how I liked it. I also loved the Verdeca wine and the cocktail with saffron. Very different. Definitely plan on coming back!

Really cool vibe, was perfect for a date. The beet hummus is SO GOOD. We ordered a second serving of it.

Friendly staff, top notch food and plating, and an LA rooftop sanctuary for those of us that need elevation. Highly recommended.

The chef was amazing!

Beautifully decorated. terrible service. Chicken salad was Fuuuucking shiiiiit and made me sick the next day.

Vegan approved!!!! It’s Playmeite here to give you another episode of her plant based meal adventures. So Mother Tongue has a variety of plant based options. Their menu is separated in a way where you can see everything in detail including the benefits and ingredients of each dish. Ambience is wonderful. Food was delicious. Staff is knowledgeable. I mean my friend and I asked what they would recommend, and our waitress gave us a whole essay of what she thought. in general it was helpful as I appreciate people that give you more info than less. I tried the hummus, the mushroom dish, and so much more I can’t even remember lol.. Presentation is lovely, there’s something for everyone. The place is hidden and low key in an alley as I’m sure everyone else has mentioned lol. But worth it and a hidden gem around the Hollywood area. Cheers and love!!!! - Playmeite

HORRIBLE! The 7 dishes we ordered , each one was drenched in salt. It was absolutely inedible. The service was extremely slow. Food came out late. The manager and staff did nothing to turn the experience around. Mia was the manager , and Philip was the waiter. Waiter never came around the table. Horrible experience
