Strada Eateria & Bar (Los Angeles, CA)

I recently discovered this hidden gym of a restaurant tucked into a quiet street in the heart of downtown L.A., Strada Eateria & Bar! The menu is filled with all kinds of dishes that highlight the owner and chef’s focus on European “street food”, but done in a much more elevated fashion. Each dish was […]

Otosan Sushi (Long Beach, CA)

I may have found my new favorite sushi restaurant… Otosan Sushi! Take a look at the beautiful dishes I tried, including the Salmon Flight prepared three ways, the Natsu Roll (which was surprisingly good even without rice), the Hamachi Jalapeño appetizer, and a nice hot bowl of udon with tempura! I truly cannot wait to […]

Floating Noodles at Neptunes Raw Bar (Artesia, CA)

Sometimes as a food blogger, you are subjected to the most insane #foodporn trends out there and they fail miserably… but this is not one of those times! The floating noodles craze all around Asia has finally landed in the U.S. courtesy of Neptunes Raw Bar.  Lucky for me, this is close by, so I was […]

MILK + T (Los Angeles, CA)
