Glendale Food Discovery | House Music Lovers, Don’t Miss This Spot 🤭

If you’re into delicious Japanese-inspired eats and bumping House music, Seaweed Handroll Bar in Glendale is your new go-to. It’s where great food meets vibe—trust me, you’ll want to add this to your list ASAP! 📍 Spot Details Name: Seaweed Handroll Bar Address: 318 N Brand Blvd, Glendale, CA 91203 First Impressions: Vibe & Space The restaurant has an open kitchen, which is super fun to watch—you can see the chefs prep fresh handrolls and cook dishes right in front of you 👨🍳. The space is perfect for small groups: 1 to 4 people fit comfortably, and if you sit in the corner, you can even people-watch (and listen to everyone’s chats—total casual, laid-back energy!). But the real star? The House music! I was mid-meal when they played multiple Dom Dolla tracks—my favorite! 🎶 If you love upbeat, groovy tunes while you eat, this place’s playlist alone is worth the visit. What We Tried (Honest Thoughts!): Fresh Sweet ShrimpThe shrimp were huge—no skimping on size here! They were fresh (you could taste that “ocean-fresh” vibe), though they weren’t as sweet as some high-end sushi spots. A nice touch: you can choose how to cook the shrimp heads—either fried (crispy, salty, perfect for snacking) or in a soup (warm, umami-rich). We went with fried, and it was a great little add-on 🦐. HandrollsSo (affordable) and packed full! The rice, fish, and fillings were layered perfectly—no skimping on ingredients. Every bite was balanced, with fresh flavors that didn’t feel heavy. Whether you get classic tuna or something more unique, the handrolls here are a safe (and tasty) bet ✨. Fried Snapper with SauceThe snapper itself was excellent—super crispy on the outside, tender and flaky on the inside. But the sauce? Way too sour for our taste. It overpowered the fish’s natural flavor, which was a bummer. If you order this, maybe ask for the sauce on the side! 🐟 Recommendations (We Didn’t Try These, But They Look Amazing!): 🌟 Lollipop Lamb Chop: Juicy lamb chops served over creamy mashed potatoes—everyone at the next table ordered this, and it smelled incredible. We’re definitely getting this next time! 😋 Toro Uni Caviar Truffle: A luxe combo of fatty toro (tuna belly), creamy uni (sea urchin), briny caviar, and truffle—for seafood lovers, this is a must-try. 😋 Seared Scallop Handroll: Plump, seared scallops wrapped in seaweed and rice—scallop fans, add this to your order. 🥩 Ribeye Ishiyaki: Ribeye cooked on a hot stone (ishiyaki style) for that perfect charred flavor—ideal if you’re craving something savory and meaty. Overall, Seaweed Handroll Bar is a hidden gem for food and music lovers alike. Great food, fun vibes, and a playlist that’ll make you nod along while you eat—what more could you want? #JapaneseCuisine #VibeRestaurant #HiddenGemRestaurant #Glendale #Food #HouseMusic
