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.

💙 HAPPY GIVING TUESDAY, SNS FAM 💙
Today is all about supporting the spaces that keep our communities connected.
Sorry Not Sorry isn’t a nonprofit, but we are a gathering place. Birthdays, fundraisers, friend dinners, work hangs, celebrations big and small — they all happen here.
And with more remote work and fewer places to gather, keeping community spaces alive matters more than ever.
If SNS has ever been a bright spot for you, here’s a simple way to support us today:
💙 Buy a gift certificate.
It helps keep our small, independent, woman owned, minority owned, LGBTQ+ operated restaurant strong during the slowest months of the year and brings people back together in real life.
Grab one at sorrynotsorryla.com
Thank you for supporting community spaces that make LA feel like home. 💛

Our spaces are already buzzing with holiday energy — cocktails shaking, good moods flowing, and December dates disappearing quicker than these drinks.
Producers, wedding planners, HR legends, birthday queens and kings — if you need a venue with personality, flavor, and that effortless LA charm, this is the moment to reserve.
Front Deck. Back Patio. Lounge. You choose the vibe — we bring the magic.
Chef Kim Vu’s seasonal menu? A masterpiece of North American + Vietnamese flavors.
