Goa Restaurant - closed

Yu n Mi is a favorite, so that was a draw... but all went downhill after that! With no more than 10 tables in the entire place for dinner - allowing these paying diners into the "forbidden" place they want to call a club afterwards would be common decency, right? wrong.... Roped off by GOA nazis if you lack a black stamp - forget about staying, unless you "EXIT the club and come back in!!!??" Well, that's just rude!!!! Too bad the fire marshall "gods" were on our side that night and ended up shutting you down! :) ahhh karma... Pros: sushi Cons: everything else... more

Way too overrated. It was so low class. Smells like sweat, overly packed and not enough bartenders available. Pros: nothing Cons: Everything more

Recently, a friend suggested that we, a small group of chicly dressed, good-looking Manhattan-ites, go to Goa for an after dinner drink. I hesitated at first, but decided to go with the flow. As I made my way to the front, I noticed a "door boy" with shaved sideburns a la Vanilla Ice circa 1990. Then, from inside, I hear "errrbody in da club get tipsy" playing which, one needs to be in order to tolerate such crappy hip-hop. What, the DJ can't play more current heinous billboard pop? As I waited, and mind you I don't wait longer than 7 minutes, I watched a slightly over-weight bottle blonde & a horrifically balding man let in at least 10 trolls (5'5" and under), and 12 hags. Some of them even arrived in gauche cars they can't afford which, always tickles me pink. To make matters worse, I was forced to listen to a BNT/Porno skank-- donning a faux fur jacket, a pilled jersey dress, aqua eyeshadow, and an XOXO Louis knock-off (if you can't pay for the real thing, don't bother)-- complain about how she "has a table." Class; it was her new thing. Enough, I grabbed my valet ticket, and headed for the hills... literally. So, for any of you Angelino's, or out-of-towner's whom want to get "tipsy," shake your booty, and enjoy the "beautiful people" L.A. has to offer, DO NOT go to the troglodyte going Goa! more

Even if you have dinner at their pathetic excuse of a restaurant... it does not guarantee entrance to their pathetic dance club. To all the Pretty people......would you be sooo pretty without the fake b**bs, nose, hair, lipo and sugar daddy. Pros: NONE Cons: Everything you can imagine about hollywood more

Went to Goa last night, 4 girls and 2 guys. A balding, short, uneducated, unattractive employee named "Andrew" came up to us attempting to coerce a bribe from the guys to let them in. After paying the bribe (for which he should invest in some hair!) we went inside to an ok club. The girls were mildly above average, the guys were punk rock types ??with bandanas -- it was overall ok. Would really not recommend this place for many reasons. If you are a guy there are a lot better places in the city to meet beautiful girls. If you are a girl, the guys are nothing to write home about - unsophisticated punks -- much like "Andrew". Pros: Nice decor Cons: Staff, employees, bartenders, small dance floor, overall average more

# Be conversational: Write it as if relaying your experience to a good friend. # Be specific: Generalities like "lazy service" or "tasty pizza" leave people wanting more detail. # Be yourself: If you're an expert on burgers, let us know. If this is your first-time massage, say so. # Compare apples to apples: Burger joints shouldn't be held to the same standards as four-star restaurants. Pros: Easy Chicks Cons: Lots of bouncers more

I like reading reviews of people who couldnt or had a hard time gaining entrance to "hotspots" whine about these places. These same people will be back in line the next week trying to get in again. If you dont want rude or crowds or lines dont try to go to a lounge or club. thats hollywood I on the otherhand have had a good time the several times i have been. Good food, interesting design and beautiful women everywhere. What else could a wannabe like me want. more

I feel like I could write a novel as to why NOT TO GO HERE but I don't want to bore you. If you want to go out and meet friendly people, get good service, have nice drinks and be in a welcoming environment the DO NOT GO TO GOA. This place NOT THE PLACE TO BE SEEN. Pros: NONE Cons: everything else more

From the second we walked up we got nothing but tons of crappy Hollywood attitude, which might have been tolerable if this place warranted it -- NOT EVEN CLOSE. Staff sucked, drinks were weak and overpriced , empty on the weekend and really unattractive wanna-be types strutted around with their noses in the air (instead of up their own asses where they belonged). Do yourself a huge favor and AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS!!! Pros: NONE Cons: Bad Service, Weak Drinks, ATTITUDE!! more

I went on a Thursday night with two of my girlfriends and male friend. One of the promoters, a very posh lady came up to me as soon as I walked up and said that she can let me and my two girls in, but not the guy. She was honest and did what a lot of promoters do at the superficial and popular Hollywood bars, so I'm not holding it against her. She said if I wanted to come in with our male friend, I would have to wait a bit. I've never waited, but we did in solidarity with our male friend... One of the promoters, Andrew-- some old guy with graying hair who has an I-am- God complex, came over to tantalize us with an entrance allowance. He was very condescending and arrogant... which unfortunately soured my mood considering he was being rude to people who are there to support a club and by that default, support his employment. Anyway, our male friend whispered something in Andrew's ear at which point, Andrew quickly turned his back toward us and stuck out his hand. Our friend then slipped him $100 and the douche opened the rope right away. Once inside, we realized how tiny the place was. There was a semi good-looking crowd inside, but filled with stuck-up, superficial and scantily dressed girls who looked like a 12 year old girl that snuck into mommy's make-up drawer and decided to paint on a new face. We began dancing and stayed dancing the whole night because the Dj was spinning some good tracks.... Except for the multiple times the pint-sized dance floor was cleared to allow for the go-go dancers to climb into sheets and do acrobatics. If you've ever been to Blvd. 3, you'll know what I'm talking about. So in the middle of dancing, everyone had to stop unannounced and just stare at the dancers-- which admittingly is not the worst thing, but annoying nonetheless. As Dane Cook says, "I just want to dance." Overall, this place was a disappointment. Pros: good looking crowd, good music, nice decor Cons: stuck-up promoters and crowd, small place, parking more

Had the worst experience ever!!! I was so excited about checking out the new club. The Place is beautifully decorated but our waitress was so rude to my table. I think her name is Chantel, she had an attitude with us and even pushed one of my friends to put a bottle down on the table. I will never go back to Goa because of her. Pros: Beautiful people and great atmosphere Cons: Bad service more

Went to GOA expecting the normal hype of a new spot. When I arrived they had Valet at the ready and security too. I don't like to go out much due to flash bulbs and A-Holes. But I was greated by the director of security (Kane). He escorted me inside and made sure my area was ready, then to my suprise checked on me through-out the night. The crowd was great but all and all a little flashy, confused youth trying to find their way. But hey it is Hollywood.... more
