Le Prive

If you have as few friends as I do, this place is a bad choice for going out. First off, nobody explained to me about booking and I had 3 girls come to my table crying. I didn’t «understand» till later they were brought there on purpose. Now I sort of feel bad I didn’t offer them something to drink. Then again, my Korean is terrible, so I was sort of out of place in general. I didn’t care for the food, and I really couldn’t care less for Crown. I saw it’s Le Cercle now and I might want to check it out should I ever find myself in a crowd of at least 10 people.

This review is for le cercle.
DJ was ok. Hip hop all night.
It looks nicer than before but the floors are way too slippery.
Lots of old faces
And lots of new boobs

Please search «Le Cercle» its no longer Le prive.

Grand opening (vip only) 12÷20÷07
it’s no longer le prive… now it’s called «la circel» or something like that
there’s a rumor going around that this place is reopening today.
i didn’t care much for it when it was open.
i didn’t care much for it when it was closed.
i don’t care much for it now that it’s reopening.
i am getting too old for kclubbing. this place was fun when i was 21 and super drunk.
don’t get me wrong… i still go kclubbing but it’s not the same.
this place is way bigger than other kclubs… but bigger doesn’t always mean better.

Although this place is no longer open, I figured I give it a review speaking the Le Prive club lingo. Yo Dawg, dis pLaCe bE liKe crackinz wit all doez young hOneyz. Just my syzle yoos, 18 – 22 ears of aGe hoMieZ. Lets get Crunk, den roLls in my 8 year leased M3 with Mai 25’z, and beat down some foolz, wit my big fat Airsoft pistol.
My head hurts from the translation. You get the picture. I just gave it 2 stars since they filmed videos, movies, and Nick Cage molesting his now wife there.

Noo wayy this place is still open?!
Go if you like to:
–watch drunk guys fight
–watch drunk girls fight
–fight some drunkass
–ladies, if you like to be dragged around to random tables by waiters (booking is WEIRD)
–dudes, if you like to party with girls smashed between the ages of 17 and 21
After writing this … if you’re a girl between 17 and 21 or a guy it ain’t half bad!
.

Calling all K-​town hos, c’mon down to get your Crown drink on, nibble on some over-​priced fruit, and then vomit in the corner of the smoke-​filled bathroom. And remember, when you wear those short skirts you must wear real underwear because no one wants to see them beef curtains.

Le Prive. ah yes…
It’s a very interesting gathering and interesting animal. THIS LE PRIVE… seeing such a large gathering of testosterone driven, hollywood exposed, korean males in one place.
It’s also very interesting to watch such a gathering of young, estrogen driven, hollywood exposed, scantilly clad korean girls in once place.
It’s the first booking club I’d seen/​heard of.
(I won’t go into booking for the non-koreans.they can just figure it out)
It’s also the place where celebrity fetishers like Chris Tucker came/​went to pick up, use/​abuse and drop off the ho-​iest korean girls he could get who would satisfy his asian girl fetish (saw him here. pretty nauseating).
Boy’z II Men’s Kanye asked my gf to come ot his table at the time. I was going to bop that eraser head wannabe napolean out of LePrive.
This is also the place where Nicholas Cage got his korean fetish on (saw him there, he was nauseating w/​his advances).before he got his current victom.ahem.wife…(he actually came up to my group and said «HI.I’m Nick. what are your girls’ names»…True Story).
This is also the place where Chan Ho Park frequented to get his teenage fix when he was w/​the Dodgers and knew how to pitch.
(Saw him there. thought he was taller).
I think the most nauseating of all were the overly insecure korean brothers (I use the term loosely. since I am a korean brother)…
get drunk, and butt heads with each other over nothing. and really think they look impressive by dropping 1000 bucks on drinks and then threatening the next korean guy who looks at him funny…(hard to do in the pulsing dance floor lights by the way).
That being said…
If you can wade through the fetishers, and the celebrity fetishers, and
the Korean «tough» guys… it’s actually a fun place.
The drinks are good (pricey of course).everyone’s dancing, and having a good time.
The tough part is wading through the muck that I described.
If you keep to your own party and just enjoy yourselves. Le Prive’s not all that bad.
Just don’t look at Jae, or John, or Jason (all the common korean guy name’s) direction when going to the bathroom…
You just might pay them the attention they’d sorely been craving.

olé days… was there for birthday party and grad party many years ago. mixed crowd at that time… it’s fun! but… now it became 18 and over illegally now. beware of fighting scence… it’s why they closed down for a while… i would prefer the hollywood scence… more relax

one of my gangster old school mafia esque italian coworkers owns this place iwth his korean nephew, and this palce is pretty happening KOREAN joints in KOREA town.
let me stress the korean joints in korea town because though I got happily shitakemushroomfaced and remained obviously trashed throughout the night, it just felt a little off to me.
korean sluts galore, though i wish they had better faces with their bodies. i remember… i’m in ktown with girls that can’t get guys so they have to resort to this type of confidence booster.
le sigh for le prive.

one of the top three korean booking clubs in southern cal. this one attracts the youngest female crowds among those, although many of them are regulars. if you come here often, you’ll meet the same faces week after another. practice your pickup lines at the convenience of your cozy table/​booth/​room because girls will be dragged (literally) to you by your designated waiter one after another. (give waiters a monetary bribe up front if you want a better booking service) if you don’t know what booking is, you’d better stay away.

Prive was a dissapointing experience– but bear in mind I went on a Thursday night. The club sorely needs a décor update –faux Roman anyone? Carpets were sticky and icky. Huge bouncers in camouflage Puffa jackets were not discreetly doing their duty, it was more a case of I am BIG and I am HERE. DJing was a disaster. Waiters here have insane names — their nicks are after famous movies or cars or something… so yes go ahead call the dude MUSTANG.
Booking :
Girls were very young and cough coughI don’t know enough about Westlife or Rain to build a bond.
Tip: go for the novelty –zats it!

This place comes with ALOT of memories (good and bad). I had my graduation party here– rented a room upstairs and the bill was $ 2000! Girls, if you dont mind getting dragged from table to table and getting free shots of watered down crown –then this is the place for you. The crowd is 99% korean, and full of image conscious people who think they’re too cool for school
The waiters have funny nicknames, and hunt you down if you’re walking alone – even to the bathrooms! Guys, if you like the typical Korean girls than you should definetely come here but expect to spend alot of money. If you’re not Korean, then find some Korean friends to go with.
The music is decent – esp if youre into hip hop and Korean pop music.

Although I was literally dragged here for my 20-​something birthday celebration, I ended up having a lot of fun… minus the drama that usually comes with hanging with an all asian (or korean) crowd… atmosphere was alright… not shady, until the whole booking thing came into play… not sure if I’d go back, but definitely got lots of memories… especially hearing the happy birthday song playing at midnight… you won’t get that at an american joint:)

leased black bmw 3 series? check!
hair gelled up? just like an uni shell!
stiped shirt buttoned up just so? hugo boss, son!
ebonics dictionary? first edition, nigga!
15 dollar bottle of crown for 200 dollars? aw hells yeah!
dumbest but hottest chicks in town. yessiree bob!
the only thing this club doesnt have are branches with leaves on them for gorilla korean alpha males to swing around when fighting.
have a bite of watermelon then go puke pink vomit in the bathroom. it looks like a smoothie!
afterwards go to hodori for more drama «oh my god! what did that bitch say!!!» and get into more fights!
koreatown rulez!
TAMBEH!

This is probably THE hottest K-​club in LA. Great crowds on weekends but more under-​age girls here than compared the other K-​clubs. Must go with someone who speaks Korean or you’re not getting in. Unless of course you’re Nicholas Cage…

Whatever you do, do NOT park in their parking lot. It’s a madhouse after last call — I think it took an hour for the valet to finally get to our ticket. At least some of the other patrons decided to entertain us by breaking out into a brawl. :P Park across the street at Sizzler’s!
The crowd is young, Asian, and just out to have a good time.
Ambience — two floors, black lighting, large dance area, hip-​hop, and go-​go dancers for added effect — but of course! I half expected to see Nick Cage and his entourage.
The drinks and sides were okay, nothing that I haven’t seen/​tasted before. Reminded me a bit of the scene at Buzz in Chicago, but magnified 100 times over.

can skirts get any shorter… half naked korean girls everywhere i turn… man…times have sure changed… one of my favorite stomping grounds back when i was 23 in 2001… when the club was filled with girls wearing tight jeans and little tube tops… and fast forward to me 28 it’s 2006… man…little young girls just pouncing around in skirts the size of my two hands… practically wearing a bikini top… this place is definitely more of the barely legal (some not even 21 yet) to drink crowd for the girls… early 20’s boys in their best clubber jean and striped dress-shirts…hey…i still had a blast few weekends ago here…
if you in the late 20’s or early 30’s…i would recommend karnac. it’s fobbier but more people my age… but hell. i’ll go to le prive just for the «view»

not sure how or why the previous reviewer would say that el prive is tough to get in. as long as you’ve got a few c-​notes to toss around on overpriced, watered-​down liquor getting a table should be a breeze. el prive features awful blaring korean pop music or pedantic progressive, which is paired with the worst strobe and laser lighting imaginable.
this place is only worth visiting if you want to experience the novelty of booking, where a waiter will act as pimp and bring girls over to your table to make awkward conversation and drink your liquor before running away. maybe you can get lucky like nic cage and meet your future wife.

lol. I can’t believe no one has rated this place yet. Its probably the hottest asian club in LA… it definitely has the hottest setup and even though its almost impossible to get in… if you can manage to find someone in the know (not that hard on myspace) then your all-​set for night life with the gods. The club itself is HUGE and since every table is required (everyone is required to get a table) to reserve a bottle… you and your crew will be definitely having a great time with your bottle of johnny black or crown (or whatever!)… more than likely, you’ll dance with too many people to keep track. this is if you didn’t reserve a private room where you can sing your heart out on your private karaōke machines… this place is insane. you should come here if you haven’t. until then you are missing out.
