🍚 LA Carbs Round-Up: Tasty & Affordable Eats Under $50 🥢

Here are my recent favorite carb-loaded spots — all Michelin-recognized or totally worth it! 1️⃣ Liu's Cafe – Taiwanese comfort food • Fragrant chicken rice, tender & flavorful • Noodles with sesame sauce (like hot dry noodles) • Their chili oil is a must-add! 🌶️ 2️⃣ Pine & Crane – Taiwanese classics • Braised pork over rice – generous & not greasy • Beef noodles just okay, but sesame noodles are rich & spicy 3️⃣ Henry's Cuisine – Cantonese seafood • Fresh ingredients, big portions — great for family meals 4️⃣ Manuela – Brunch highlight • Scones are flaky, buttery, airy perfection • Salmon tartare on baguette – bright & refreshing 5️⃣ Mae Malai Thai – Spicy boat noodles • Bold flavors, small bowls, generous meat — a bit spicy but delicious! 6️⃣ Rossoblu – Italian handmade pasta • Chewy noodles, rich sauce (not too salty) • Burrata with fruit – fresh & light starter 7️⃣ Layla Bagels – Beverly Hills’ popular spot • Thick, solid bagels – nothing mind-blowing but reliable (lox/cream cheese combo never fails) 8️⃣ Ipoh Kopitiam – Malaysian-style (⚠️ skip) • Overhyped — unexpected flavors, not worth the wait! Perfect for foodies craving variety without breaking the bank! 🍜💸 #LACarbs #MichelinEats #BudgetFoodie #TaiwaneseFood #BrunchLA #PastaLover #HonestReviews #EatUnder50 #FoodieFinds #LAEats
