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
$$, Seafood, Chinese, Dim Sum,
"This restaurant is far but well worth the drive. The dim sum here is fresh and authentic."
Al pastor taco
$, Mexican, Food Truck, Tacos, Miracle Mile
"All the tacos here are amazing. It's just like being in Mexico City. I love the pastor tacos, but no matter what you order, make sure you ask for grilled onions."
Chicken heart skewers
$$, Happy Hour, Japanese,
"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."
Octopus salad
$$$$, Italian, Full Bar, Melrose
"Skip the mozzarella and the entrées. Stick with the appetizers and pastas, then go get a pizza at Pizzeria Mozza next door."
