1. Bistro Jeanty
This was one of the greatest meals of my life. We took a day trip to Napa with a friend, and had called ahead for reservations at French Laundry but to no avail. The wait was 3 months or something, and we couldn't wait that long and each meal was…More »
2. Hama Sushi
Los Angeles, CA 90012
(213) 680-3454
Categories:
Sushi Bars,
Japanese
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Little Tokyo
If you want to taste the hand of God in food, this is the place.
Wanting to try a new sushi house other than Sushi Gen, I yelped and came up with this or Komasa right next door which happened to be closed today. With our choice made we wandered in.

3. Pizzeria Mozza
Hype is a finicky mistress. Too much of her company and no one can live up to the expectations, to little and especially in the circles of Hollywood you won't last a day. From it's inception, Pizzeria Mozza has been a staple on the lists of top…More »
4. The Crab Cooker
I love this place, I often joke that if I had one last meal it would be the Alaskan King Crab legs and butter here. It is consistently fresh, I've been eating here for decades and it's always been good. Usually a really long line, but if you get…More »
5. Sushi-Gen
Los Angeles, CA 90012
(213) 617-0552
Categories:
Sushi Bars,
Japanese,
Nightlife
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Little Tokyo
This is the best sashimi I've had, it blew Katsuya (the original not the cheesy knockoffs) away which was my previous favorite but it's not even close. The sashimi is so fresh and so high quality it just melts in your mouth. It's certainly not cheap…More »
6. The Bazaar
Los Angeles, CA 90048
(310) 246-5567
Widely credited with being the chef who brought tapas or little plates to the States, Jose Andres immediately becomes either your hero for introducing the wonderous ability to savor so many plates at one sitting or your biggest culinary villain for…More »
7. Vij's Rangoli
Vancouver, BC V6H 1L1
Canada
(604) 736-5711
Category:
Indian
Neighbourhoods: Fairview Slopes, South Granville
I've never been to India although I did see Slumdog Millionaire so I know what I'm talking about, but I have eaten a few very good Indian dinners in London which could almost be renamed India 2.0 in certain neighborhoods and they didn't come close to…More »
8. Mario's Peruvian & Seafood
Los Angeles, CA 90038
(323) 466-4181
For the first time in all the years we've been coming, there was literally no line to be seated. There used to be a steady mix of local hispanics mixed with the inevitable Hollywood types from all the nearby studios, but on this day at least there…More »

We've been coming here for 20+ years and it is always the same. Very consistent and reliable, and I… Read more »
9. The Kitchen - CLOSED
This is about my dozenth (is that even a word?) time eating here, tonight we had a birthday dinner for my wife's brother for about10 people. As usual it was cold, not as cold as in the past but still uncomfortable. It was also eerily empty which is…More »

Reading through the reviews it was interesting to see the disparity in people's experience here. If… Read more »
10. Sushi Kimagure
Until recently, finding truly great sushi anywhere east of Little Tokyo was as likely as a blind man stumbling upon the fountain of youth. Things are changing quickly. Though Pasadena will never be mistaken for Torrance or Sawtelle, there has been a…More »
11. Salt's Cure
West Hollywood, CA 90046
(323) 850-7258
Categories:
American (New),
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: West Hollywood
If the clientele we met while we were having brunch are any indication, most would prefer that no one write glowing Yelp reviews or announce the amazing food coming out of the kitchen at Salt's Cure so as to keep the already borderline insane wait to…More »
12. Baby Blues BBQ
Sometimes too much hype ruins something you are looking forward to. I was afraid this was going to happen here, and while it may not be the greatest on the planet it was damn good. I felt like I was about ready to pop the lid on a Milwaukees Best and…More »
