LA Food Review Roundup ๐
In-N-Out Burger: A California classic! Must-try: Animal Style cheeseburger and fries ๐โค๏ธ. Sun Nong Dan: Hottest Korean spot! Beef soup & cheesy rib hotpot are ๐ฅ. Their chive side dish is amazing. Open 24/7! ๐ Tsujita LA: Incredible Japanese tsukemen (dipping noodles)! Try the pork belly or spicy pork belly versionโrich and aromatic ๐โจ. Toadstool Cafe: Super Mario-themed restaurant in Universal Studios! Recommended: mushroom soup, burger, pasta, and lemonade ๐๐. Erewhon: LAโs "most expensive grocery store" ๐๐ธ, but their smoothies are worth the hype! ๐ฅค Randyโs Donuts: Iron Manโs favorite donut shop ๐ฉ๐ฆธ! Sadly, the iconic donut was covered due to wildfires. Verdict: Too sweet! Matcha was okay, chocolate was overwhelming. Not my favorite ๐ . Jitlada: Michelin-recognized Thai food! Must-orders: Curry crab ๐ฆ (signature dish!) Curry duck ๐ฆ (perfect with rice) Mango sticky rice & pineapple fried rice ๐ฅญ๐ Thai tea with crushed ice ๐ง๐ Howlinโ Rayโs: Worth the wait! Nashville hot chicken sandwichโgo for Medium spice ๐ถ๏ธ๐ฅ. Daikokuya: Famous in Little Tokyo but quality dropped ๐. Combo used to be great, now oversalted. The Boiling Crab: Pick your seafood! Sauce is spicy, garlicky, buttery perfection. Pair with Cajun fries ๐ฆ๐. Chubby Curry: Overhyped ๐ฌ. Their pork cutlet and curry canโt beat Kagura. EL Pollo Loco: East Coast doesnโt have this chain! Grilled chicken is juicy and generous, but chicken rice is meh. Chips are crispy and tasty ๐ฎ๐. Guelaguetza: Authentic Oaxacan Mole Negro! Solid Mexican choice ๐ฒ๐ฝ. Kagura: CURRY HEAVEN! Their pork cutlet (regular or cheese-stuffed) is crispy, tender, and zero gaminess. Curry sauce is rich and perfect with rice ๐๐ง. MaLu BianBian: Irvine location! Great value hotpot buffet ๐ฒ. Spicy broth, impressive fried snacks, and endless skewers! Verdict: LAโs food scene is wildโsome hits, some misses! Explore and enjoy ๐. #LAFood #Los Angeles #FoodReview #LAEats #FoodieGuide #TravelLA
