"If you want to dress up, drink coconut-washed rum, and take camera-flash photos at .5 zoom, DiDi's bi-level space on La Cienega can be your local Sahara tent. There are crescent booths for big groups, an R&B playlist cranked up to yacht party volumes, and solid snacks like golden brown chicken wings and shrimp toast filled with juicy pâté. It’s possible to have a slightly intimate dinner in the downstairs area, but where’s the fun in that? You should head to the clubby loft and get dancing." - team infatuation
"Did you order a new club fit even though you usually get sleepy around midnight? Wear it to DiDi. This Vietnamese restaurant isn’t a club by any means, but they keep the lights dim, play ‘90s throwbacks, and serve honey-glazed tiger prawns and shrimp toast to a flashy blue check crowd. DiDi functions like a moody lounge where you can dress up without feeling stupid (and the uniformed bartenders making back-to-back martinis all night). Stop by for a fun night out when you’re more interested in having a good time than having a great dinner. Get access to exclusive reservations at this spot with Chase Sapphire Reserve. New cardmembers get $300 in annual dining statement credits." - brant cox
"Chef Tuệ Nguy? n successfully made the transition from TikTok star to restaurant owner. The young chef gathered ample attention via social media as Tway Da Bae before opening her Saigon-inspired restaurant Di Di in mid-2023. Try the fish sauce wings, shaking beef, and Vietnamese Caesar salad. The crispy lobster curry is a standout, as is the Vietnamese beef stew. The phở feeds two and hails from Nguy? n’s stepfather, Kevin, who personally taught the staff how to prepare it." - Mona Holmes
"This pseudo-clubstaurant is nowhere near our first choice for Vietnamese food, but if you want to dress up, drink coconut-washed rum, and take camera-flash photos at .5 zoom, DiDi's bi-level space on La Cienega can be your local Sahara tent. There are crescent booths for big groups, an R&B playlist cranked up to yacht party volumes, and solid snacks like golden brown chicken wings and shrimp toast filled with juicy pâté. It’s possible to have a slightly intimate dinner in the downstairs area, but where’s the fun in that? You’re wearing shoes that make your ankles bleed, head to the clubby loft and get dancing. Get access to exclusive reservations at this spot with Chase Sapphire Reserve. New cardmembers get $300 in annual dining statement credits." - brant cox
"West Hollywood has no shortage of sceney, over-the-top spots where you can show up in a daring outfit and feel like the birthday celebrity that you are. The top place to do just that right now is Đi Đi. The clubby Vietnamese spot on La Cienega is a leaf-covered cathedral for people who want to listen to Drake, drink coconut-washed rum, and take smoldering selfies. The most surprising aspect, however, is that the food is quite decent. We suggest the shrimp toast on milk bread, the sticky fish sauce chicken wings, and the shrimp-packed spring rolls." - brant cox
