Late Night Shabu Shabu

Los Angeles — food, hotpot, late night happy hour, pasadena

Here’s one thing I’ve been noticing around Los Angeles, late night happy hour menus as Shabu houses. What a great way to spread crowds our through the night. They definitely got me. Tokyo Shabu Shabu was the second place I went to during my trip. On a gamble I stopped by this place for a...

What’s Hakata Ramen?

Los Angeles — food, hakata ramen, little tokyo, thin noodles, tonkatsu

Another regional style of ramen you say? From the opposite end of Japan? Well sign me up for a bowl. Literally, it seems like half of LA waiting was outside of Shin-Sen-Gumi. The other half was waiting for Daikokuya, a place I’ve eaten many times. This place, however, was new for me. It opened in...

Pine & Crane

Los Angeles — eater la, healthy, number, silverlake, taiwanese, verdict: pass

I’ve read about this place when it popped up on Eater LA (doing some due diligence on places to eat this trip). It was a surprise to see a Taiwanese place pop up in Silverlake. Sure I’ll buy into the hype. We didn’t have any ideas for lunch. Everything good in Little Tokyo had a...

Chinatown Summer Nights

Los Angeles — art gallery, beer garden, bruce lee, chinatown, chinatown summer nights, food truck, live band

These events were usually about opening up the traditional Chinatown facade to DJ’s, food trucks, and street vendors, a sorta night market, neon style. However, this night was not only in honor of Chinatown’s 75 anniversary, but it was about the unveiling of the first Bruce Lee statue to be raised in the U.S. And...

Once Again, LA BBQ

Los Angeles — american bbq, genwa, korean bbq, sauce, short rib, the parks finest

We started this day a little groggy from the drinking adventures we had around Koreatown. Gotta hand it to some of the expensive places. Some of them had really good pours and as you may know, some of them didn’t. Does it all even out? No. Because there was expensive and expensive’er. Only found one...

Weddings and Korean BBQ

Los Angeles — bcd, camarillo, korea town, korean bbq, outlets, soowoon, wedding

Weekend trips to LA always means at least one night out in Korea Town. This was actually a healthy improvement over all the other time my friends and I come to visit. We would do nothing but lunch at a Korean place, dinner at a Korean place, drinking at a Korean place, and top it...

Book Signing at SIPA

Los Angeles — 85°C bakery, book, book signing, curbside craving, hayashi rice, little saigon, reading, SIPA, suehiro cafe

The main reason I was down in LA was to be at The Undeniable’s book launch party. But before the event, I headed down to Orange County to visit a friend and, of course, to eat! Felt like ages since I’ve been in the area. So many things have popped up since I lived down...

Late Night Animal

Los Angeles — animal, bar seating, bone marrow, hamachi tostada, late night, quail, return

I was heading to Los Angeles for the weekend and after a long drive, I decided to stop by a restaurant I always wanted to try out, Animal (or for you Yelpers). The place might be a little hard to find having no sign, but if you look for people lining up on Fairfax, that...
