Miko’s Izakaya

Another place I’ve been meaning to get to, but haven’t until now because of its location.. pretty much the opposite side of town for me. I’d heard their ramen was pretty good, so recently we made the trek out to Miko’s. The restaurant is clean, fairly small, and has a very homey atmosphere. I liked [...]

The End of the Line

This is another well done eco film, spotlighting the problem of overfishing, and the potential future loss of fish species. I’m not sure when this film will be playing in Vegas again, but here’s a link to the website, and schedule in other cities. I highly recommend it, so check it out if you can: [...]

American Farmhouse Roadside Grill, Manhattan Beach, CA

On my last day in L.A., I wanted to try the American Farmhouse in Manhattan Beach, which I’d heard good things about. The restaurant is small, clean and cute. Contemporary, yet with a retro ‘farmhouse’ kitchen style to it. As is my usual breakfast habit while in L.A., I split an entree with my mom; [...]

Bistro Miyoda Noodle House, Gardena, CA

Another noodle shop in Gardena, but one a bit different than the ramen I’ve been getting recently. First, the positives: The service was friendly, and the noodles are hand made. The not so good? I didn’t especially like those noodles, as they were quite thick, extremely curly, and a bit overcooked. The broth was quite [...]

Brodard Restaurant, Garden Grove, CA

Off to Little Saigon, only this time, no pho. Brodard’s is a pretty popular restaurant, and known for their nem nuong cong; pork spring rolls with pork, lettuce, cucumber, daikon, and mint; which was tasty, and had a wonderful texture. The sauce accompanying it was slightly sweet, savory, and absolutely delicious! I used what was [...]

El Rocoto, Gardena, CA

Another trip to L.A. last week, only this time to work. I hadn’t been to El Rocoto in quite awhile, so one night we ventured over to get some Peruvian food. I ordered the Lomo Saltado, which I always liked here, and still found to be quite good. The dish contains slices of beef stir [...]

Korean Garden BBQ House

Having a craving for bibimbap one day, we headed to Korean Garden BBQ… another place in Chinatown I’d been meaning to try. While we didn’t order any of the BBQ dishes, what we did order was really good. First, the banchans we were given were all fresh and tasty… not a bad one in the [...]

Wayne’s Sushi Bar

Craving sushi one night, we decided to seek out a restaurant I’d heard about near Adam’s office. Wayne’s is indeed run by Wayne and his wife, and they serve up some very unique and creative rolls. Everything served to us was fresh, tasty, and created in front of us by Wayne himself. Here’s what we [...]

North End Caffe, Manhattan Beach, CA

My last meal in LA for this trip was breakfast at the North End Caffe in Manhattan Beach. I’d heard they were going to be featured on an upcoming episode of Diners, Drive Ins & Dives, and figured… a unique breakfast by the beach… a perfect way to end my trip! Again, my mom and [...]
