LA Grind — 12 Meals That Recently Took Over My Life 🍜🔥

Menya Hanabi – My go-to for rich, flavorful mazesoba — heavy on seasoning, totally satisfying. BHC – Authentic Ktown fried chicken. Huge chunks, well-seasoned. Cheese balls are a must-try!😍😊 Chef Tony – Michelin-recommended dim sum, even available at night. Shu mai is small but tasty. Auntie Qiu Kitchen – Super authentic: spare ribs with rice cakes, tofu pudding, braised wheat gluten, pan-fried buns. – Simple but solid. The beef tongue tomato cheese e-fu noodles are incredibly hearty!😁😘 Lao Xi Noodle House – Michelin-rec’d noodles. Their triple combo mixed noodles come loaded with minced meat — so good. Cento – Michelin pasta spot. Took it to-go to skip the line. Banana tiramisu was the standout. Shell pasta was cheesy and slightly spicy but rich.👍😍 Ramen Nagi – Black garlic ramen stays reliable — rich broth, big portions, deeply comforting.😂😊 Yunomi Handroll – Michelin-rec’d, spotted Kanye there. Soft shell crab handrolls are made fresh — crispy crab, warm rice, so fragrant. Sun Nong Dan – Late-night solo comfort. Beef bone soup warms you right up. Little Skewer – Southern-style sweet-spicy seasoning on grilled chicken and skewers — right up my alley.🙌😍 Colette – Daniel Wu’s go-to Cantonese spot? Hard pass.
