Where I Go Out

"Amandine is a hidden Brenwood gem! All their pastries are amazing, but this one in particular with apple was the best I've ever had there."
Dim sum
$$, Chinese, Seafood, Dim Sum,
"This restaurant is far but well worth the drive. The dim sum here is fresh and authentic."
Al pastor taco
$, Mexican, Food Truck, Tacos, Central La
"All the tacos here are amazing. It's just like being in Mexico City. I love the pastor tacos, but no matter what you order, make sure you ask for grilled onions."
Dungeness crab
$$$, Indian, Thai, Little Armenia
"This crab comes with garlic or curry sauce. Try putting Thai rice in the body of the crab and scoop it out with all of the good stuff that's in there."
Chicken heart skewers
$$, Happy Hour, Outdoor Seating, Ramen, Japanese, Downtown Los Angeles
"This place, which specializes in yakitori (grilled skewers of different cuts of chicken) is amazing. My favorite are the chicken hearts. The authentic vibe makes you feel like you just left LA and suddenly arrived in Japan. This place is always packed but totally worth the wait."
