Torafuku (West LA)

By in 11: West LA

Time to explore more restaurant around my office. Turns out this authentic Japanese restaurant not so ‘nearby’ (it’s right next to the Westside Pavillion) but whatever…^^;; I got the Housemade Tofu, it could have been nicer if the sauce weren’t that’s too salty. The Grilled Beef set is very flavored, tender, juicy and delicious. The […]

Leaf Cuisine (Culver City)

By in 13: Culver City

I always tease a carnivorous co-worker Zack to try this place, Leaf Cuisine that we often drove by. Its hip muted solid green exterior made it looked like a modern furniture store on 3rd St. Finally I tried it myself…my god…Zack’s right! His description of their food: it is as if you’re walking in a […]
