Toothsome Chocolate Emporium & Savory Feast Kitchen is finally opening its third full-size outlet at Universal Studios Hollywood, following locations in Orlando and Beijing, so we decided to stop in during its soft open phase to give things a taste and see how they hold up! This is a rather unique experience and there’s a lot to take in, so let’s get started.
Entry

The West Coast version of Toothsome began construction in 2020, with this being the former home of the Hard Rock Cafe from 1996 to 2020. The exterior has a faux brick facade with steampunk touches like gears, pipes, and a tall cooling tower outside the front. The color scheme is mostly black and gold.

Stepping inside, we’re greeted with a similar steampunk vibe, down to the employees’ costumes. Black and gold are the primary colors throughout, with white accents to set them apart. Straight ahead after entering is the two-story dining area.

The menu is quite nicely housed in this pleather book with the restaurant’s logo emblazoned on the front.

The first page describes the story of the Toothsome Chocolate Emporium and its founder, as follows:
Jacques landed the dirigible in front of a small cottage home in London, England. Professor Doctor Penelope Tibeaux-Tinker Toothsome was overjoyed to share her experiences and experiments with her family.
She quickly stepped from the cockpit of the airship and dashed up the cobble pathway. She threw open the front door, soaking in her childhood home.
Except…It was empty. All that remained was the old Victrola in the corner of the living room.
Penelope stepped into her mother’s kitchen recalling the first time she ever tasted chocolate. There was a song in her head. She couldn’t recall the name of it, but it was French and Jazzy. There on the kitchen floor was a note from her parents.
Dearest Penelope, We have set out to join you in your adventures. Surely the world isn’t so big that we can’t find you. We shall look for you wherever chocolate can be found. Love, Thomas & Violette Toothsome
Penelope knew immediately what she had to do. She would take everything she knew about chocolate and develop a fully industrialized, state-of-the-art chocolate emporium! Until the day she was reunited with her family, she would share her love and knowledge of chocolate with the world!
With the old Victrola in her arms, Penelope made her way back to the dirigible. Jacques quickly lifted them into the air. They were off to chase their destiny and find the perfect location for the worlds foremost chocolate emporium. There would still be discoveries to be made, but she was determined to make them all.
That is the story of Professor Doctor Penelope Tibeaux-Tinker Toothsome.
Or at least… so I’ve been told.

The interior is appointed to the steampunk theme, complete with a huge orb in the center. Light posts very distinctly look like pipes and lanterns.

If all of this sit-down hullabaloo is too much for you, the milkshakes are all available at the milkshake bar to the left of the entrance, as we mentioned.

We didn’t get to try the entire menu, so we got a small sampling of what’s on offer here at Toothsome Chocolate Emporium & Savory Feast Kitchen.
Apple Pie Crepes – $18.95
Sautéed cinnamon apples, caramel sauce, toasted strudel, powdered sugar, whipped topping, apple crisp
![REVIEW: Toothsome Chocolate Emporium & Savory Feast Kitchen Soft Opens with Cocoa Pork Tenderloin, Extravagant Milkshakes, and More at Universal CityWalk Hollywood 45 USH ToothsomeChocolateEmporiumandSavoryFeastKitchenUniversalHollywoodReview 43](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/01/USH_ToothsomeChocolateEmporiumandSavoryFeastKitchenUniversalHollywoodReview_43.jpg)
This was delicious! The crepe was crispy on the edges and had a wonderful bite to the center — not quite chewy, but soft and dense. The cinnamon apples seem to be a fresher alternative to the traditional apple pie style filling sauce found far too often in dishes like this.
![REVIEW: Toothsome Chocolate Emporium & Savory Feast Kitchen Soft Opens with Cocoa Pork Tenderloin, Extravagant Milkshakes, and More at Universal CityWalk Hollywood 46 20230119 113915](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/01/20230119_113915.jpg)
These apples seemed to have more flavor and a bit more structure to them, to an overall better experience. Dehydrated apple chips that adoring the top are crunchy and delicious, bringing another textural element and reinforcing the apple flavor found throughout. Overall, this is one of the best crepes we’ve had in America, and we highly recommend it.
Brisket Burger – $19.95
Half pound housemade patty, chocolate stout glazed brisket, oil dressed arugula, tomatoes, fried mushrooms, white cheddar horseradish, bacon, and onion jam on a sesame seed bun
![REVIEW: Toothsome Chocolate Emporium & Savory Feast Kitchen Soft Opens with Cocoa Pork Tenderloin, Extravagant Milkshakes, and More at Universal CityWalk Hollywood 47 USH ToothsomeChocolateEmporiumandSavoryFeastKitchenUniversalHollywoodReview 45](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/01/USH_ToothsomeChocolateEmporiumandSavoryFeastKitchenUniversalHollywoodReview_45.jpg)
This burger is thick. Piled high with arugula, roasted tomatoes, brisket, and a portobello mushroom cap, there’s a lot going on here. Everything sings in harmony and well each of the individual ingredients is present accounted for on the palate , they all come together in a uniform dish. Each of the ingredients helps to lift up the others, one providing acidity, one providing richness, one providing flavor, one providing texture, and it all works.

It’s difficult to taste the glaze on the brisket, even when eating on its own and separate from the burger, but that is understandable with brisket that’s shaved so thin. The glaze would have been on the outside of the piece of meat, and having thin-shaved brisket like this means there’s not much of the crust present on the slice.
![REVIEW: Toothsome Chocolate Emporium & Savory Feast Kitchen Soft Opens with Cocoa Pork Tenderloin, Extravagant Milkshakes, and More at Universal CityWalk Hollywood 49 USH ToothsomeChocolateEmporiumandSavoryFeastKitchenUniversalHollywoodReview 47](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/01/USH_ToothsomeChocolateEmporiumandSavoryFeastKitchenUniversalHollywoodReview_47.jpg)
But that being said, the brisket is still delicious and well done, even without the chocolate glaze it still holds its own in a burger of so many fantastic flavors. Overall, though this wasn’t our very favorite dish from our meal at Toothsome, it’s definitely no slouch and would satisfy any meat lover.
Cocoa Pork Tenderloin – $24.95
Chocolate crusted pork tenderloin medallions, sweet potato mash, seasonal vegetables, sherry white chocolate reduction
![REVIEW: Toothsome Chocolate Emporium & Savory Feast Kitchen Soft Opens with Cocoa Pork Tenderloin, Extravagant Milkshakes, and More at Universal CityWalk Hollywood 50 USH ToothsomeChocolateEmporiumandSavoryFeastKitchenUniversalHollywoodReview 48](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/01/USH_ToothsomeChocolateEmporiumandSavoryFeastKitchenUniversalHollywoodReview_48.jpg)
This is nothing less than one of the finest dishes we’ve ever had. Combining the sweet and the savory with deft skill, this sous vide cooked pork loin is rolled in cocoa for a dark and roasty yet sweet flavor. The sherry white chocolate reduction is genuinely unbelievable, in that your mouth has a difficult time believing what is happening to it. The sweetness of the white chocolate and the savory butteriness of the reduction sauce blend together in a new way that we have never experienced in any other dish before.

Generally, sweet and savory go together well on a small scale, like peanut butter and chocolate or salted caramel cookies. But this takes it up a level to a full-on dish that is half sweet, half savory and all delicious.

The roasted vegetables are a welcome addition and provide a nice crunch to the overall plate. And the sweet potato mash helps to further the through line of sweet and savory together. Overall, we can’t say enough good things about this dish. This really is one of the finest plates in all of Los Angeles, and worth the trip up here on its own.
Strawberry Cheesecake Shake – $15
Sour cream ice cream, cheesecake, graham crackers, whipped topping, chocolate-dipped strawberry
![REVIEW: Toothsome Chocolate Emporium & Savory Feast Kitchen Soft Opens with Cocoa Pork Tenderloin, Extravagant Milkshakes, and More at Universal CityWalk Hollywood 53 USH ToothsomeChocolateEmporiumandSavoryFeastKitchenUniversalHollywoodReview 51](https://media.wdwnt.com/2023/01/USH_ToothsomeChocolateEmporiumandSavoryFeastKitchenUniversalHollywoodReview_51.jpg)
These shakes are what Toothsome is known for. They’re beautiful, and thankfully they’re also as delicious as they look. Sour cream ice cream is odd to read on a menu, and it’s what drew us to this shake. It was so sweet and delicate, and it worked perfectly with the overall flavor of the shake.

This really went to the nth degree to sell the cheesecake aspect of the flavored shake, and while the strawberry sauce that lines the inside of the cup is pleasant, it’s not mixed all the way through. We would have liked a bit more of the strawberry flavor for our strawberry cheesecake, but as it stands it was a delicious cheesecake shake, and we can’t be upset about that.

The best part about this shake is the consistency. Milkshakes can often be entirely too thick and hard to drink, or thin and runny on the other end of the spectrum. This one is the perfect consistency all the way through, easy to drink yet hardy and satisfying as a milkshake. No matter what flavor you get, consistency is key and this one is a winner.
