LA Log｜At This Noodle Shop, You Gotta Order the Meat 🍖

🐾 💌 Went to see Zootopia+ with my boyfriend. Me: "We waited 10 years for this… next one might be another decade." Him: "Next time we might be bringing our kid?" Me: "So you’re thinking about having a baby with me?!" 😉 🐽 Hangari Kalguksu 📍Ktown This spot has super authentic knife-cut noodles in soup — we’ve been here several times. Always order a side of meat though! Pork cheek > pork belly. A bit pricey, but worth every bite 😭 ☕️ Saero Coffee 📍DTLA A tiny Korean café with only a few seats, but always packed! Their signature drinks are delicious, though not mind-blowingly unique. Parking… well, let’s just say it’s complicated. 🥪 Banh Mi Hoa Phat 📍Monterey Park We’re absolute banh mi lovers — this is THE BEST in LA! Their crispy pork is impossibly crunchy and flavorful, something other places just can’t match. Huge portions too! Also love Thien Huong in Chinatown — equally amazing, but the lines are always long. ☕️ Amai Coffee & Tea 📍Glendale Finally opened in LA — no need to drive to OC anymore! Their Vietnamese coffee is great, and the banana cream is super rich. 🇻🇳 Nep Cafe 📍Fountain Valley Pretty much everyone knows this Vietnamese brunch spot by now — our second visit! My boyfriend’s favorite is the crab toast. Everything we’ve tried has been plate-cleaningly good. And don’t skip their desserts — super creative and tasty! 🍰 Little Thoughts from Xiao Fu 📖 Hennessey + Ingalls 📍Arts District Stumbled upon this huge art & architecture bookstore after visiting Hauser & Wirth. So fun to browse — books cover all kinds of art genres, and it wasn’t crowded. Parking validation available! 🎄 Old World Village 📍Huntington Beach An adorable small-town vibe — perfect for a sunny afternoon stroll. Lots of vendors and stores, all selling cute Christmas-themed items right now. At the entrance, there’s a big Christmas market — beautifully decorated with every holiday goodie you could want. I really want a giant Christmas tree now! 🎄 ✨✨✨ Wishing everyone peace and happiness this holiday season… #LosAngeles #KoreanCouple #KoreanFood #Coffee #VietnameseFood #Bookstore
