The award-winning Los Angeles gem combines old world hospitality and modern amenities to create one of the city's most impressive hotels. Continuously upgrading its services to exceed all guest expectations, the Biltmore is pleased to announce an Asian-oriented package, an enticing new restaurant and recent notable achievements.

This is a casual yet chic, healthy noodle bar with plenty of comfortable and communal seating that serves guests and the downtown Los Angeles community. Former chef of Nobu West Hollywood, Jonathan Shin, has created a menu featuring appetizers, salads and various types of noodles and soup bases ranging from the Vietnamese noodle - Pho to the Japanese noodle - Udon/Ramen. The bar offers local micro brews, California-grown varietal wines and sake.
