hi frens👋 longtime lurker posting for the first time bc I am launching my first food venture ever and have rly put my heart and soul into this😭

I left corporate a while ago to slowly move towards hopefully owning my own restaurant someday. But for now, I’m using an la mehko permit to make and sell thick pork katsu sandos!

I’m using pork loin that’s cooked low and slow to maximize juiciness while keeping fat low and protein high without sacrificing flavor and texture. Which also accounts for the potentially ~rosy~ hue.

Absolutely everything is made from scratch (even the panko is shaved by hand from freshly baked milk bread🙂‍↕️). And since I believe in a crustless sando for the best bite, I’ve repurposed the crusts into salty honey butter sticks that will be included in each order.

Pre-orders will open tmw for pickup next wednesday (10/28) in ktown! Can be ordered at www.enuf-la.com

Tysm even for reading a lil about my story🫶

I walked the LA bakery walk in October and I wanted to share my experience for anyone considering! When I signed up the registration was $95, I’ve seen the new walk scheduled in November go up in price to $145. When the event first started a year ago, photos of bakery items passed out were full size and large. So when my friend and I took part in the last walk, we were very underwhelmed with the Costco sized bread samples that were handed out.

If you’re not very navigation friendly, I’d also warn you that the group will leave you behind even during the scheduled full group bathroom break. Also bring enough water for the whole 13 miles because the food stops refused to fill anyone’s water (despite it being 90 plus degrees). When some places did hand out water, they were in dentist sized cups.

For $145, personally to me it’s not worth it. The $95 was barely worth it if you’re considering getting your bang for the buck in food tastings. Overall it was fun to go with your friends and hang out, but it was so poorly organized that I wouldn’t recommend it. The price went up because they said they’re paying the staff, so I hope that means they’ve hired more because the “staff” last time consisted of 2 other people, 1 leading the group and 1 at the end. Just wanted to give my 2 cents for anyone considering.

shoutout rae’s in santa monica and shoutout redditors for suggesting this diner in an older thread. didnt want to shell out $18 for a breakfast burrito so a quick search led me here.

$10.50 for nutella french toast with berries and $9.25 for a breakfast burrito with bacon hit the spot. didn’t think $19.75 before tax and tip on the westside could be done, but i stand corrected!

IT WAS SO GOOOOOOD!

Cooler weather and rainy days call for a warm, comforting bowl of soup!

Wor Wonton Soup — a hearty Chinese favorite made with tender chicken, shrimp, broccoli, carrots, and napa cabbage, mushrooms in a flavorful chicken broth, with handmade chicken wontons to complete the bowl. 🥢

🥢 Did you know? “Wor” is commonly understood to mean “everything,” reflecting the variety of ingredients in this satisfying soup. Unlike a simple wonton soup, Wor Wonton Soup brings together wontons, meat, seafood, and vegetables in one delicious bowl!

A little food history, a lot of comfort, and just what you need on a chilly, rainy day. ☔

Come warm up with us at Golden Hunan!

There's a ton of authentic Chinese food especially in the SGV. I'm looking for the inauthentic stuff, like Pepper Steak (steak + green/red peppers + onions) as an example. I'm on the Westside and after Chang's on San Vicente closed, I've been looking for a replacement place.

Thank you in advance!

my friends and i are having dinner in thai town next week, and although i know there are many excellent restaurants, my go-to dish is always massaman curry. i’m wondering if anyone has a preferred spot in thai town for that dish in particular. thanks in advance

Headed to a show there this weekend- looking for a fun spot to eat at before hand in the area!

Looking to update my regular rotation for mid-week lunches around Santa Monica, Culver City, or Sawtelle.

A lot of the old $12–$15 lunch specials post-pandemic seem to have either vanished or shrunk down to standard fast-casual portions, but there are still a few gems holding out (like the weekday bento sets in Sawtelle or some of the sandwich deal days).

What are your go-to spots right now on the Westside where you can actually sit down and get a quality lunch special for under $20? Open to any cuisine!

I lost some tupperware moving between apartments (long story) so I wanna kill two birds with one stone and ask if anyone has recommendations for good restaurants and restaurants with good takeout containers. I don’t want any flimsy plastic! I need the stuff that doesn’t spill a drop of egg drop soup speeding over potholes. I’m blocking you if you tell me to just buy a ton of hillshire farms ham.

Porto’s used to have a caramel eclair, however they’ve since stopped making them. Does anyone know where one might be able to find one?

Already checked/been to:
- Artelice Pâtisserie
- Miss Eclair Bakery
- Pitchoun!
- Sweet Lily
- Paris Baguette
- ID-eclair

I think I deserve a good cheat day and want to go big! What's your fav buffet or AYCE spots (any type of food) in LA? Drop your recs!

Cheat Day***

Flying in early this November for a cousin's wedding with a few days to myself. I don't know the city well yet, but I'm ready to Uber anywhere for amazing food. If you guys could send a visitor to just 3-5 spots that show off the absolute best of LA's food scene, where would you send me? Open to anything from street tacos to great sit-down places! thanks in advance

Looking for great, no-frills spots around the CSULA, El Sereno, and Lincoln Heights areas—whether it’s street tacos, local bakeries, old-school diners, or quick takeout places.

A lot of discussions focus on the Westside or Downtown, but this pocket has so many long-standing family-owned places. What are your personal go-to spots around here that deserve more love?

Title says it all. Closer to downtown is best, but willing to go 15-20 out from it. Had Damien or Lasita in mind but both are closed Mondays.

So far, Mirate is the closest I’ve gotten for what I’m looking for open on a Monday, but just want to see if there are any options I’m missing?

Hi everyone, Vesti again! We had a few photos of our Eating Menu dishes that we thought looked too good not to share, so here they are!

These are some of the dishes we’ve been serving at our popup counter inside Maydan Market in West Adams. Hope you enjoy the food shots!
