  • Food: 6

  • Atmosphere: 6
  • $/Person: $10-15

Nestled in next to the Radisson Hotel across from the USC campus, the Lab pretentiously pretends to be a higher-end dining experience than it really is, which they must think gives them the justification of marginally overcharging for every dish. The atmosphere is semi-interesting but somewhat sparse, with menus placed on clipboards and pictures of [...]

Well, the Birds took a poop in my mouth. Heated up some fried poop and just dumped it right in… I can definitely say that you come here to drink, and after about 4 cocktails, you order some food.  That is the only way this place has a chance at tasting good. Plus this is [...]

Thanks to our good friend Daniella, it has been brought to our attention that Takami sushi is donating 100% of profits to the Redcross Japanese Relief Fund. There is currently no date set for the donations to stop. I myself used to frequent the rooftop Takami when I lived downtown. The views are incredible, the [...]

I looked up the definition of shithole and it said, “an overpriced mexican restaurant in los angeles named Lucys El Adobe Cafe that serves a margarita that taste like gatorade, mushy ground beef tacos that taste like Bhole, and stale chips. Your standard dinner plate here will run you about $18. With that you will [...]

  • $/Person: $10-15

Sometimes, my worst enemy on a Friday night is the drunchies. So why not make make friends? Nestled in one of the many plazas of Koreatown, Hodori is the infamous after-hours gathering place of half the drunk Asians in the city, looking for something to soak up all the beer and soju in their system.

Ooooo you want some feeeeeesh!?? Yes Sir! Thanks to this beverly blvd sidewalk escape, I can enjoy some fresh fish, nice outdoor seating, and watch the hasidic jews cruising around like it was 1880.

Ramen’d out yet? Good because I wont be eating any for a while. Better known in my book as “Itchy crotch”, this Hollywood strip mall ramen cafe is interesting to say the least. I’m not sure what to make of it. I hate the strip mall that its in…the whole building is an eye sore [...]

My first post! May I open by pointing out that even a guy’s eye point of view could use a feminine touch. Enter Amber. Manber! So I routinely scour the city in my shitty Nissan Sentra for some good Asian cookin’ that will dip my taste buds into my own primordial roots- and Orochon Ramen [...]
