Chibiscus — Restaurant in Los Angeles

FOOD: Premium Spicy Miso with Pork and Egg, Spam Musubi (munchies) Once you get over the delicious aroma and the immaculate presentation, slurp up the goodness of the spicy miso! The Miso is SPICY, which is fantastic if you can handle it. Gosh, that Miso broth is to die for. I felt tempted to take my remaining broth home to pour over my instant noodle packets for the next day. Seriously, that good of Miso! The noodles are just the right size, not too thick or thin and the pork was masterfully seasoned. They add a soft boiled egg, which was not necessary and didn't add much to the already tasty dish. If you've got the munchies, order the Spam Musubi. They are the daintiest version of spam musubi I've tried, looking like a fancy hors d'oeuvre, but yummy nonetheless.

DESSERT: Chibi toast I had seen the beautiful pictures, but wasn't sure of the actual taste. Literally tastes like deep fried, buttered french toast. The toast comes with an assortment of fresh fruit (mango, strawberries, and kiwi) as well as matcha ice cream and whipped cream. The dessert takes 20 minutes to prepare, so if you're interested, order with your entrees. It is very different and I appreciate a change from creme brûlée or other generic desserts.

DRINKS: Crystal Blue Lemonade and Honeydew Milk Tea Both drinks are well made and served in cute mason jars. If you're avoiding dairy, try the lemonade which is highly refreshing. For my dairy drinkers, you can choose your milk tea with whole, regular, or silk milk and the honeydew is a nice touch.

ATMOSPHERE: 5 Stars No sooner than we entered the restaurant, we were warmly greeted right away and got to choose any table. The restaurant uses its limited space very wisely with a bench seat running against the wall and a long counter. There are several tables in the middle and cute decorations. Korean music videos in the background will keep you entertained while you wait for the food.

Yes, it's true, Hollywood offers a great deal of highly rated restaurants, but this place definitely is a...

Chinensis? Shybiscuits? Kidiscus?

Chibiscus is an Asian Fusion restaurant that's quaint (code for tiny) with free parking in a small private lot. In LA? That's unheard of!

After a fun & exhausting day touring LA, we needed to fuel up our bodies with some nourishment. A quick phone search later & Chibiscus became our next destination.

I haven't had ramen in awhile, so my order was the Chibiscus Tonkatsu Ramen. After a short wait, I had my hot bowl of ramen in hand. Thick, delicious broth with a perfectly cooked egg. Noodles just the right consistency. The pork slices were tender & I slurped my soup down to the very last drop.

My friends let me have some of their Kimchi Fried Rice. A good sized portion with a runny egg on top, the dish was a little salty for me. This coming from a guy that usually tolerates things on the salty side. Great flavor, though.

If you're looking for something sweet, various boba teas/smoothies/lemonades are available at your leisure, with some being organic.

Service was good. Our waters were refilled timely, and we had our food within a reasonable amount of time. Seating is minimal, with maybe enough for 20 or so. As previously stated, parking is free if it's available. Anyone that knows me, knows I hate having to pay for parking.

We all left with happy bellies

Chibiscus, I enjoyed dining at your establishment. The ramen was on point, with good service and competitive prices. Matter of fact, all this ramen talk is making me feen for it now. Slurp!

Highly...

I finally made it to Chibiscus and had an excellent meal. It is a small shop with a few tables and has some cute decor. And it has parking!!!  There is street parking as well if the lot is full. It is not a huge book of a menu. But the choices are well done, and everyone should be able to find something they want here. I started with the veggie potstickers and a spicy tuna hand roll. And then had the chicken curry dish as my entrée. Do not order too much at first, save some room for dessert. Oh my gosh! The desserts look amazing, and folks drive from all over for the brick toasts here. My food arrived after just a bit. The potstickers were good. Good flavor and not overcooked, along with a nice dipping sauce. The spicy tuna handroll was huge! What a deal! Maybe 6-7 bites to eat it all. The curry came out and was a good amount of food, just like everything else that had already been served. A large scoop of rice, some pickled ginger and a big bowl of Curried chicken came out. It was really hot, and I needed to let it cool a bit before digging in. It had a nice flavor, like a brown sauce with curry added maybe(?). Potatoes, carrots, and plenty of chicken, it was a good amount of food. I probably should have taken some food home but ended up just eating everything there. Next...
