Let me start off saying - the food that I had at Drastix was freakin' DE-LI-CIOUS!!!

I had the restaurant bookmarked for about two weeks and after a long day at work, I had the chance to go to Downtown Hollywood to check them out. Located along Tyler Street, Drastix specializes in skewered food on sticks served with flavorful sauces. The menu offers pieces of chicken, steak, duck, shrimp, veggies, etc. on skewers; a variety of sides and sauces; there's also appetizers, soup, desserts, cold/hot beverages, beer & wine; and Drastix bowls where you have a choice of proteins, base, and sauce...sauteed with onions and bell peppers and seasonings, and served with a drink.

I had the pleasure of meeting Victor, one of the owners, who was nice enough to go through the menu. Now I love seafood, so I decided to try the shrimp bowl with Jasmine rice and salad, sweet pineapple sauce and a sprite. I also wanted to try the bread pudding bites for dessert.. The food was prepared in a timely manner and I couldn't help but take a peak. Visually the food looked amazing...in a tropical sense. I can see myself in a nice resort in the Caribbean eating this dish. Taste-wise...like I stated in the beginning...freakin' delicious! Everything tasted fresh. Rice was cooked to a soft consistency, salad was nice and crisp, shrimp was cooked and seasoned nicely, and the pineapple sauce well complemented the dish. The bread pudding bites was very tasty. I was even dipping my finger in the homemade cream it was served with. I enjoyed the dish very, very much and I look forward to enjoying another. Hope this business sticks around, it adds an artistic flare to the Hollywood area.

We were nicely greeted by the waitress upon entering. After we sat down she explained the menu. We ordered the caprese salad as our appetizer, it's was very fresh and yummy- the basil flavor really stood out! For my meal I ordered a chicken stix with the garlic aioli sauce and the potato- it was delicious- nicely grilled and the sauce was on point! We were in Hollyweird getting a tree, but this was a nice little find!

Such a great addition to downtown Hollywood. The food is amazing and so are the owners. It's a family run business and they are producing great work. The food from the appetizers to the desserts you won't be disappointed in anything.

I want to express my gratitude to the owners of this establishment. My sister and I had one of the most amazing time eating some of the best cuisine in Downtown Hollywood. We didn't expect an art gallery to be within a restaurant, I was happy to hear you're venue supports local artists. Truly wonderful. Thank you again we will definitely come back.

So excited about this place! We are Hollywood residents and are always up for a new restaurant and Drastix did not disappoint. It is kind of hidden over on Tyler Street, not on the main drag of downtown Hollywood so it's easy to miss. There is free parking one block over on Polk Street, and metered parking along Tyler.

No outdoor seating, which I think would enhance the restaurant and make it more popular as well as more visible, but maybe eventually that will come. Drastix inside is very attractive. Murals by a local artist, tables that are being refinished with artwork, cool bench style booths (rather than gross velvet cushions)...The place was funky and fun and looked very clean. All staff wore masks.

The food? The food was freaking great! It is mainly a shish kebab kind of place but there are also options for bowls, and several fun appetizers and sides. Lots of vegetarian options as well as different kinds of proteins which you can mix or just stick to one. I love the emphasis on vegetables! Everything was fantastic. The macaroni cheese bites were very tasty and easy to cut in portions to share. Those garlic shrimp were out of control good, next time I will order two plates. Everybody loved their kebabs. I had the bowl and almost opted not to have any rice in it but the rice was perfect, just the right amount of sticky! The waitress recommended doing only half rice because otherwise it's just too much for most people. So I got half salad and half rice and I threw in extra grilled veggies. Very healthy option that was big enough to eat leftovers the next day for lunch. I think my favorite thing about this place is the sauce selection. That makes it so much fun. They make their own sauces, and several were crowdpleasers among the five of us. Everybody agreed that the chimichurri was the best. A close second was the Parmesan Mojito. The almond mint one was also tasty. We didn't love the coconut peanut which is disappointing because I actually love that sauce at other restaurants but this one was just OK, the spicy option with better flavor than the mild. Oh I forgot to mention the Mulligatawny soup! She gave us a free sample of it and it was so tasty that we ordered a sampler bowl for all of us to try. It is a cream-based curry soup that has excellent flavor but I doubt it leaves you with much of an appetite afterwards so I would not get a bowl of it unless that is all you are planning to eat. We got the dessert sampler which I think is a great idea so everybody can try a little of everything. Most of us liked the bread putting the best, with the mochi bites another crowd pleaser. Mixed reviews on the pound cake bites and pumpkin bites (although I thought all 4 were tasty). Their coffees, whether iced or hot, were decadent. Apparently they get the beans from a local establishment down the street. Love that.

The service was very friendly and attentive although a little slow, but we were not in a hurry and they lose no points whatsoever.

This place has a great backstory, ask the staff about it. It has only been open for two months and I really hope that it survives. Go check it out today!

Writing this review while I’m eating. Let me tell you. These bowls are super delicious 🤤 my husband and I recently moved from Colorado to Hollywood and have been trying foods from different restaurants. This one is by far the best one we have discovered. The food is delicious, healthy and inexpensive. Will be coming back more often now!

This place Drastix really knocked my socks off with their Chicken and Shrimp Rice Bowl. It's like they hijacked my taste buds and took 'em on a one-way trip to Flavor Town.

The chicken was just plain juicy, like it had been doing squats in the gym all its life, while the shrimp were grinning at me from the grill, all sweet and succulent. And the rice, my goodness, it was so fragrant, I was half-expecting a love letter to waft out from the bowl.

The way they played around with spices, it was like a symphony conductor in full flow, expertly hitting all the right notes. It was hot, sweet, savory - pretty much everything but the kitchen sink.

Not only does their food have a lot of heart, but so does this family owned restaurant!! I was only visiting the state, but I'd dine here often if I could! Thank you for being so inviting and for supporting local artists.
