CALIFORNIA CUISINE | INTERNATIONAL FLAVORS | L.A. ATTITUDE
Chef Kim Vu blends technique with a host’s intuition, layering char, sauce, and acid until the flavors lock in. Precision without pretense. For locals, crews, and celebration seekers, not velvet ropes.
Backyard Garden Party
× Night Market Energy
Backyard Garden Party × Night Market Energy
A fun-casual brasserie built for the patio, where the grill leads the room and the service wears sneakers, anchored by our coal-fired ribeye cap finished with miso demi, green peppercorn jus, and a marrow-butter add-on you won’t forget, and paired with the Garden Glow Martini, clarified yuzu, butterfly pea gin, cucumber ice, and a citrus-sparkle rim, with an equally photogenic Free Spirit twin.
Big Host Energy, On Call
Date Night
String lights, patio breeze, plates coming hot; and craft cocktails that will make you swear you’re somewhere special
Big Tables & Milestones
From first pours to warm plates, we pace the party so the photos hit and the food eats like a meal.
Private Events & Catering
A 4,000-sq-ft backyard-style patio with fire pits, a cozy indoor lounge, and a street-view front patio give you three ways to gather.

Wings hiss, quesadillas blister, fries crackle, sauce turns to velvet, big-ice stirs in the glass, date-night toasts catch the patio glow.
This is the one people talk about after they leave.
The dish that gets quiet reactions first, then suddenly everyone at the table wants a bite. The one that shows up in stories, gets saved, gets recommended, gets ordered again next time without hesitation.
And here’s the reality: it doesn’t last forever.
Not because we take it off the menu randomly, but because menus evolve. Ingredients change. New dishes take their place. And sometimes, the thing you waited to try… disappears before you get to it.
That’s how it goes.
So if you’ve had it, you get it.
If you haven’t — this is your window.
Menu updates are coming. Not everything makes it through the next version.
Book your table. Don’t wait until it’s a “you should’ve tried it” situation.

It always starts the same way, “just one drink.”
Then the second comes faster than expected.
The third? That’s when you realize you’re not leaving anytime soon.
That’s intentional.
It starts with a drink. But it’s the food that keeps you here.
At Sorry Not Sorry, every bite is built to work with what you’re sipping.
The Vietnamese Organic Chicken Wings ($16), crispy, sticky, glazed in soy and sweet chile fish sauce. Salty, sweet, umami all at once.
Then the Kim Chi Quesadillas ($14), fermented cabbage, melted jack cheese, sour cream, guacamole. Funky, creamy, spicy, all hitting at once. Add chicken (+$4) and it levels up instantly.
This isn’t random pairing. It’s designed.
The right combo changes everything, if you know what to order.

Something new is coming, and if you’ve been here before, you already know we don’t do “basic updates.” 👀
At Sorry Not Sorry, every dish is built to hit on multiple levels — texture, balance, and that “wait… what is this?” moment.
Take the Baby Bok Choy Salad ($14) — crisp greens, sweet asian pear, peppery watermelon radish, toasted almonds for crunch, finished with a coriander lemon vinaigrette that wakes everything up. Clean, bright, addictive.
Or the Citrus Avocado Salad ($14) — creamy avocado, sharp citrus, hazelnuts, blue cheese. It’s fresh, rich, and layered in a way that keeps you going back for another bite.
This is how Chef Kim builds flavor — deliberate, balanced, and never boring.
And what’s coming next? It pushes even further.
Early drops aren’t for everyone, and they never last long.

You should’ve been there. Seriously.
A Seat for Her Dinner at Sorry Not Sorry LA wasn’t just a dinner, it was a moment. The kind people talk about after. The kind you wish you didn’t miss.
With the incredible presence of Kara Wang and the beautifully crafted wines from Amryn Winemakers, the night unfolded exactly how it should: effortless, elevated, unforgettable.
Guests didn’t just eat — they experienced every bite.
We kicked things off with bold, fresh flavors:
• Hearts of Palm Ceviche — bright, citrusy, layered with texture
• Avocado Chimichurri Bruschetta — herbaceous, creamy, addictive
• Herb Dijon Chicken Skewer — perfectly grilled, served with a rich dipping sauce
• Kim Chi Quesadilla — crispy, spicy, unapologetically good
Then we moved into the kind of dishes that slow things down (in the best way):
• Citrus Avocado Salad — fresh, vibrant, clean
• Miso Glazed Salmon — delicate, savory, perfectly balanced
• Fruit & Cheeses — curated, elevated, no shortcuts
• Vegan Warm Chocolate Brownie Sundae — because ending strong is non-negotiable
And then… the final champagne toast 🥂
Because every unforgettable night deserves a proper ending.
Laughter. Connection. Flavor. Energy.
That’s what filled the room.
And here’s the truth:
events like this don’t happen by accident.
They’re designed. Curated. Built with intention, from the menu to the last sip.
Missed this one?
Don’t make the same mistake twice.
👉 The next experience is already in motion.

LIVE with @therealkarawang - Wine Dinner
Two pours. Two energies. One night you’ll talk about for a long time. 🍷✨
This Sunday, March 22, *A Seat For Her Dinner* isn’t just a reservation, it’s a story unfolding in your glass.
We begin light, bright, and alive with **Amryn Sauvignon Blanc** crisp, elegant, effortlessly vibrant. Poured during the 4PM reception alongside curated bites. The kind of first sip that says: *you made the right move coming here.*
Then… the mood shifts.
At 5PM, we go deeper with **Amryn Pinot Noir** , richer, silkier, layered with intention. Paired with a 4-course family-style dinner designed to slow time down. This is where the magic lives: in the pauses, the laughter, the eye contact over a glass half full.
All of it guided by **Kara Wang**, founder of Amryn Winery, alongside **Chef Kim Vu** two forces shaping flavor, emotion, and experience into one seamless night.
⚠️ Early Bird tickets: $69 (until TODAY - LAST CALL)
After that, the price rises — the experience only gets richer.
