Natural light, glass walls, patios and mirrors are hallmarks of the Neutra VDL House. Tours of the property, given by Cal Poly Pomona architecture students, are offered on Saturdays from 11 a.m. Number 1 Percy Street was the site of the White Tower restaurant, formerly the Eiffel Tower hotel and restaurant. The restaurant was taken over by Rudolf Stulik, the former chef to Lord Kitchener,[2] in 1910 and became very popular with painters of the Vorticist movement in 1914 and was frequented by Augustus John in the 1930s. John took the young lady who became Dylan Thomas's wife to one of the Eiffel Tower Hotel rooms on an assignation before her marriage. Among its patrons were Archduke Rudolph, Madame Kharsavina, Lord Birkenhead, Chaliapin, the Duke of Gloucester, and George Bernard Shaw, as well as the Prince of Wales, later King Edward VIII.

The Banning House was designated a California Historical Landmark in 1935, Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument No. 25 in 1963, and added to the National Register of Historic Places in May 1971. The new head Chef at the House of Ho is Ian Pengelley, and he dropped in to talk to us. Regular daily shipments of ingredients were brought in from Vietnam and matched by the best locally sourced meat and fish to deliver the finest Vietnamese food experience.
Hollyhock House
The eight historic structures located at the museum were constructed during the Victorian Era. They were saved from demolition and rebuilt at the museum site along the Arroyo Seco. Historic residences at the museum include the Hale House, Valley Knudsen House, John Ford House, Perry Mansion and the Octagon House. The buildings serve as a perfect background to educate the public about the everyday lives of Southern Californians from the Civil War to the early 20th Century. Guided tours of the museum are supplemented by living history performances, educational programs, hands-on training, exhibitions and special events.

One of the signature dishes for the House of Ho is the ‘shaking’ beef made with 30-day aged Aberdeen Angus in a soy sauce. This didn’t look like a large platter but the intensity of the beef made each mouthful very filling, and eating it in isolation of any sources really brought out the flavours.
Join us at The House of Hô and experience the full vibrancy and excitement of Pan Asian cuisine.
Recommended dishes include the popcorn shrimp, mushroom dumplings, and crisp tofu salad, while vegetarian options are abundant. The friendly and attentive staff provide exceptional service, ensuring an enjoyable dining experience.

A Vietnamese Feast in Fitzrovia at the House of Ho:
From Mid-Century Modern icons to LA's first World Heritage Site to the city's oldest house, discover some of the most famous houses in Los Angeles. Some dishes photograph as good as they taste, and the Chilean Seabass with Vietnamese fermented plum sauce was a perfect example of this. Lots of colour, and flavours, the fish broke apart in large flakes making it easy to share. Vietnamese broccoli was used as a regular ‘green’ side with the meal, and its fun look, bright colour and clean crunchy taste definitely worked alongside both the meat and the fish dishes.

Smart townhouse offering modern take on share-style Vietnamese street food, plus Asian cocktails. Vietnamese food is one of my favourites, so I was pleased to be invited by the House of Ho to experience its new menu and cuisine in its new premises in the heart of Fitzrovia. The original House of Ho restaurant in Soho is still there, but has been renamed the Ho Modern Vietnamese and has kept its casual small table appeal. The House of Ho on Percy Street, is all new, with a new chef, new menu and a whole new dining experience that is slightly more formal and aimed at larger groups. At The House of Hô, you can indulge in the best of Vietnamese cuisine without leaving Fitzrovia. Offering a delicious menu at reasonable prices, the food is both flavourful and satisfying.

Known as the "Father of the Port of Los Angeles," Phineas Banning built this historic residence in 1864, several years after he founded the town of Wilmington. The 23-room Banning House is widely regarded as the finest example of domestic Greek Revival architecture in Southern California. The house interiors have been carefully restored to their original Victorian beauty - 18 rooms are open to the public.
It clearly works as everybody was praising the food, and I only hope that some of the photos here reflect that. The perfect cubes of watermelon, cut from the centre had all the flavour and ripeness you could want, which cleansed the palette for each mouthful of duck. This was my favourite dish, and it acted as a perfect separator between the meat and the upcoming fish dishes. The floor below has three separate private dining rooms including this well-appointed room laid out for 8 diners, with a gorgeous fireplace that could almost seem like you were in a London house. The venue was originally a four storey townhouse, with each floor now home to a private and individually designed dining area.
The walls of the Avila house are made of adobe brick, a material consisting of clay, water and other organic materials like straw. The public is invited to visit the Eames House for a self-guided tour of the exterior during open hours. Groups with 10 or more visitors must make an appointment and sign a group release form prior to visiting. Guided, one-hour personal tours of the interior are available for $275 (1-2 adults) and $450 (3-4 adults). Diehard fans can indulge in an Eames tradition, a picnic in the house meadow, for $750 (1-4 adults). Los Angeles is known around the world for its masterpieces of residential architecture.
Two fifth-year USC architecture students live in the house full-time; the resident students change every year. Movie fans will recognize the house as Doc Brown’s mansion from the Back to the Future movie trilogy. The Gamble House is designated as California Historical Landmark #871 and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The Avila Adobe is LA’s oldest house still standing in its original location, and is designated as California Historic Landmark #145. Originally built in 1818 by Francisco José Avila, it has since been the home to many of his family members and descendants. Dark wood tables, four-poster beds, candelabras and elaborate carpets create a 19th century atmosphere.
There is an open ground floor restaurant as well as a nicely stocked wine room and there’s more public dining space on the second floor. We were taken to one of the third-floor private dining rooms, a perfect size for the 12 or so blogging friends with me. The large circular table let us all chat without shouting, and was social enough to allow dishes to be passed around easily. We started with a small cup of Nanbu Bijin, Tokubetsu Junmai, or Vietnamese Saki as it was described and were asked to make a wish and give thanks, in true Vietnamese family tradition. The House of Hô is a modern Pan-Asian restaurant in Fitzrovia, inspired by East Asia’s rich culinary history. The warren of rooms includes three private dining rooms spec’d out for meetings, a semi-private "wine" room and the top floor Ho Lounge Bar complete with DJs and pumping soundtrack.
