1. Dean Sin World
Dean sin is family operated and you definitely will know if you come here. There are maybe enough seats for around 15 people max. The lady doubles as a waitress, a chef, a bus woman, a salesperson, talks to people across the street, describes how…More »
2. Santouka Ramen
Just as good as the one on the west side, if not better. As usual, I got the shio ramen, not to be disappointed. I have to admit the soup is a little salty (for my tastes--but I hear this is how they like it in Japan) but I still can't help but…More »
3. Tofu King
Nothing but great things to say about this place. Stinky tofu, rou yuan (ba wan--meatball inside of glutinous shell), rou gen mi fen (meat sticks in rice noodle soup, thick starchy goodness)--all as delicious as I had the last time around.

4. Restaurant Komasa
Los Angeles, CA 90012
(213) 680-1792
Categories:
Sushi Bars,
Japanese
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Little Tokyo
Word of advice: Don't get the sashimi combos. You get what you pay for.
The cuts a la carte are waaaaaaaaay fatter, fresher, and more delicious.

Category:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhood: Wilshire Center
I might be 2000 and late considering the sheer number of posts this little ice cream shop already has. But whatever.
I heard they had black sesame flavor here. I almost cried when I found out they didn't have any on the day I chose to visit. Then…More »

7. No 1 Noodle House
No, it never disappoints me. But damn you yelp! Why you gotta tell all the people about this place? I was behind a long line of teeny boppers, and had to wait for my food.
My stomach waits for no line!
Ok. Maybe just this one.

8. Vito's Pizza
Los Angeles, CA 90069
(310) 652-6859
Vito's was a delicious surprise on a perfect summer day with a gorgeous bright sun and a nice breeze. To be honest, I've passed by this place a couple times and have wondered about the pizza. I've walked inside before and have taken a menu to keep…More »
9. Dai Ho Restaurant
instead of soup nazi, this guys the noodle nazi.
my two friends got there about 5 minutes before we did and asked for a table for 4. the owner told them that they should just get a table for 2, eat, and leave. so my friends were like umm... err...…More »
10. Santouka Ramen
This place is inside the mitsuwa marketplace. Parking is hard to find around lunch time, it's like a game of chicken with cars coming the opposite way to see who gets the parking spot opening up. Driving around and looking for a parking spot is…More »
11. Barbrix
Los Angeles, CA 90027
(323) 662-2442
Categories:
Wine Bars,
Tapas/Small Plates
Neighbourhood: Silver Lake
In my dictionary, the term Barbrix is synonymous with a delicious meal.
Upon arrival, the restaurant is easy to miss. It looks like a house or cottage or something quaint and cozy. The exterior of the establishment has a rustic appeal, with a…More »
12. Ding's Garden
The beef noodle soup isn't nearly as delicious as the Da Ho in Rosemead, but it was more taiwan style than szechuan style. The dan dan mien was really super bomb delicious and probably the thing I would reorder. The green onion pancakes were…More »
13. Han Bat Sul Lung Tang
Sul Lung Tang is Korea's best answer to pho, though you can hardly compare the two on an equal playing field. Pho would be equal to having a handful of silver after a day of drinking, and sul lung tang would be diamonds, people, DIAMONDS.

14. Yu Chun Chic Naeng Myun
Can't say I love going to places that don't give a flying rats ass about giving you great service if you're not Korean. And if I keep coming back, that must mean they're doing something right for me. I mean I get people in Ktown not understanding…More »

Category:
Japanese
Neighbourhood: West Hollywood
Jinpachi is one of those restaurants you walk into and know you'll instantly love. Walking through the neighborhood, the restaurant doesn't stand out in particular way. As a matter of fact, it's quite understated with its simple decor, drawing no…More »
20. So Kong Dong
All I'm going to talk about is the cold raw spicy crab. Let's start out by describing the color. It's legs are reddish orange because of the spicy, crack infused sauce. Blue crab, suddenly I get it--blue like the color of the sky, must have fallen…More »

I must have walked by this place a dozen times living in the neighborhood and had my roommate tell me about this place a handful of times urging me to go. I guess of course OF COURSE I don't ever get a chance to come (k fine--it's laziness) until…More »

I've been wanting to try this french cafe for a while. Something about the way it looks, the european vibe, the european accents of the waiters, and the way the delish display looks with all the dainty little desserts, the wine rack, the outdoor…More »
24. Mama Lu's
2nd stop for the xlb crawl
1. Very juicy and quite large
2. Don't take pictures of their sweatshop of people folding xlbs in the glass cage. They do not like.
3. Crab xlb for $8.99 - meh
4. The internals are very saucy. Meaning they used like some…More »
25. Umami Burger
Sink those carnivorous teeth into that fluffy, fluffy bun, and chomp through that thick beef patty. The meat is cooked perfectly medium. Let the burgers beefy juices squirt all over your face and all over your shirt and table because there is…More »
26. Chunju Han-il Kwan
There is a certain fear/anxiety/apprehension you endure when you think about coming to Korea town without a Korean person to navigate/translate/order. I think in recent years, it has definitely gotten better with the help of food blogs/websites/and…More »
27. Sushi Q
I got four words for why you need to eat at Sushi Q: TWO FIDDY A PLATE.
Ok, maybe I have more than four words. After I read a couple reviews for this place, I knew I had to make a trip to check it out and eat some decent rolls. This place gets…More »
28. Mei Long Village
I finally came here just for the dishes big family style instead of just for xiao long bao. While the xiao long bao wasn't anything to really rave about, the family style fare was better in my opinion.
Our first dish was the cold plate with…More »

29. Ding's Garden - CLOSED
I think the best part of my meal was the cold seaweed. So much garlic, so much sesame oil. Just how I like it. And not seaweed-y, if you know what I mean.
Anyways, I like this place. Not in the way that I would necessarily come back because nothing…More »
30. Dragon Mark - CLOSED
After learning this place was "Yi Tiao Long" and that there was another store in Rowland Heights, it immediately brought up gag reflex. I hate the one in RH. I mean it was dirty tasty, but mostly dirty. And I got sick from that. But it was stop…More »
31. Malibu Fish Grill
Despite having sworn off eating out for a couple months to help fatten the wallet and slim down the waist, I'm sure my consistent and prolific updates probably have given away my inability to. just. say. no.
It was a bright Saturday afternoon. And we…More »
32. Stateline Brewery & Restaurant
South Lake Tahoe, CA 96150
(530) 542-9000
Categories:
American (Traditional),
Breweries
Stateline does one thing well: it feeds the hungry.
The inside is sort of like a cafeteria and it kind of takes away from the "brewery" feel to it. When I think of Stateline Brewery, I almost picture people sitting on wooden benches...
They ran out of…More »
33. Malibu Seafood Fresh Fish Market and Patio Cafe
This place is awesome. It overlooks the beautiful Pacific. You can bring your own beer for no fee. And the seafood is finger lickin' fresh. What more can you ask for?
How bout a heated covered/enclosed patio area for cold days? And a beer opener…More »

Hwe dup bap, hwe dup bap, where can I find me some good hwe dup bap?
Arado, A-won, Misong... somehow I've been unsatisfied at all 3 locations. Granted, I know that hwe dup bap is leftover sashimi pieces, but that doesn't stop me from looking for the…More »
35. Fish Grill
Los Angeles, CA 90036
(323) 937-7162
I don't always like the taste of cooked fish. I've had a couple of terrible experiences i.e. places cooking it too dry, fish that went bad, or just bad flavored in general.
As of late, I've been trying fish grill restaurants and they are a semi…More »
36. Boiling Point
Stanky stanky stanky. I like a good pot of stanky soup.
No, you don't get to cook the ingredients yourself. No, the stinky tofu isn't fried. The tofu is delicious and boiled for a long time so it's not that stinky. The soup flavor is good and full…More »

The cupcakes were pretty good…More »
39. Shabu Shabu Ya - CLOSED
This place is really good. I was mighty surprised, since its in a mostly non-asian area. Their shabu sauces are bomb and thats what really makes shabu good, plus fresh meat. The sashimi tuna salad that comes with the meal is really delicious too.…More »

The spicy tuna bowl is very weird. It's like a giant california-esque roll. The tuna (albacore)? is mixed with some spicy flavor, avocado, carrot... so it looks like mush. The color of avocadoes and white tuna albacore. I totally expected…More »
