Button Mash

Not the quality of food one might expect from an arcade restaurant. :) The bar menu offers the BEST fried cauliflower I've ever had. The Korean flavors offer the perfect amount of spice, and the cauliflower is perfectly fried. Don't sleep on the coconut curry chochyote from the Poltergeist menu. Great meal!

What a perfect place to hang out with friends. Great service, awesome food and friendly staff. You can grab a bite to eat and play pinball or crazy taxi or time crisis or burger time or etc. I recommend the smash burger from the bar or the ravioli which slaps!!!!! Anyways, I highly recommend. I was there tonight and I will definitely go again.

The food was excellent, all of it. We started with the honey walnut prawns, which were fantastic, and we didn’t leave a trace of them. After that, we had the octopus burrata, which was mind-blowing. Everything was super fresh. Finally, we had that day's special, duck legs, and I believe that was the yummiest duck I have ever had 😄. Shout-out to our server, Victoria. She was super sweet and extremely attentive to our needs.

A fun place to place all sorts of video games, have a drink, and eat the most incredible food of your life. The menu is so adventurous and it really pays off. So many unique takes on classics such as the Thai Caesar salad, which was somehow both light, fresh, and savory. The real champ was the chicken gizzard pasta. The flavor and texture was like an elevated chorizo, and paired with the fresh pasta and green onion was *chef's kiss*. The service was impeccable. In such a casual setting, I felt like I was having dinner in a fine dining establishment. Would definitely come again.

This highlights Poltergeist at Button Mash. To preface, they absolutely do not allow anyone under the age of 21 to enter past 9 PM as they turn into a bar, even with a reservation so please follow their rules. The food was offered through a series of set courses. To begin, the roll was extremely flavorful and almost melted in the mouth. The beef ravioli and the octopus were also excellent and unique dishes. As for the game hen, there were a lot of bones and it was hard to get much meat but the overall experience was great. The vibes were very modern and almost hippie, and there were pinball games to play around us. Highly recommend if you want to try some upscale food in Los Angeles that comes with a fun experience with every dish they serve.

Went here for the first time with a couple friends and it was super fun! I love that they have such a large selection of hard ciders! My fav! I tried the blackberry one and it was very good. 4% alcohol I believe. Kinda expensive tho. They have a bunch of different old school arcade games, some physical games (ie shoot hoops), and also these really cool pinball machines. I believe some of the games are free which is always nice. But for most of them, they accept quarters and you can exchange $ for quarters that they give you in this handy little container with a screw on top. Also have machines you can get the quarters from yourself. Most of the games are decently priced tho some can be kinda expensive esp if you’re playing multi player. Overall a rly fun place that wasn’t too crowded or loud (tho sometimes the music randomly went rly loud for no reason), with a laid back vibe. Great first date location imo!
