   Sophisticated and sultry Asian fusion in Hermosa Beach with a low-key, urban beat. Hokkaido Milk Bread with briny, chive spread melts in your mouth. The lamb chops were perfected grilled--tender and juicy. Order the dragon roll! Tons of Asian spirits, sake and liquors to sit back and relax with. Do not skip dessert. Matcha tiramisu and chocolate mousse with candied orange and blood orange filling were as beautiful as they were tasty. Bring your friends and enjoy the experience.

   Amazing food. Great atmosphere. The Loaded Potato Skins & Kaluga Caviar and the Blue Crab California Roll were our favorites. Cocktails were excellent. Our server was helpful recommending a wonderful bottle of Sake. Definitely going back and definitely recommending to friends.

   Excellent staff - great food but be specific on your reservation. Made mine a week or more in advance and still sat at the skinny bar window at the front door instead of a table.

   Second time trying Ryla as I hated the first experience and didn’t want to return again. But my husband convinced me to try it again since it wasn’t a holiday with a pice fixe menu. We had Evan as our waiter. He’s amazing so personable & friendly. He makes this joint thrive in my opinion. He’s very attentive and always on his game. We had an order of rids recommended by Evan. They were unbelievable! So tender and flavorful. Then we had and order of salmon & tuna nigiri. OMG if I tell you how damn good that is!! We ordered 3 more orders of that!! We also had truffle fried rice, not much excitement there. It tasted more like regular mushrooms than truffle. I wouldn’t get that again. Stick with the salmon & tuna nigiri and the ribs!! They were all amazing!! We had 2 cocktails, 1 was a coconut base, can’t remember the name but that was awesome. It went down too easy and we had multiples! I’m glad I gave it a second chance, it was a night and day experience compared to the first time.

   The ambiance was so lovely and warm! It was our first time visiting for a birthday celebration, and even though we arrived close to closed kitchen time, the food was prepared with great care and had amazing flavor. The only downside was that our server seemed a bit rude—maybe it had been a long day?—and wasn’t welcoming.

    I went to Ryal during DineLA week. They had an amazing tasting menu deal where you got to select two different courses with coffee included for $35. I chose to get the Japanese pancake and Taiwanese crepe as my courses. The pancake is giant, super fluffy, and comes with an amazing yuzu syrup and blueberry compote. The Taiwanese crepe was equally delicious and filled with egg, cheese, scallions, and bacon. It's served with a dark soy sauce on the side which was a nice dipping sauce. I would highly recommend Ryla to anyone looking for a great brunch in Hermosa. It's also located right by the pier and beach so you can go on a nice walk after your filling meal.
