Osteria Mozza (Highland)

By in 07: Mid-Wilshire

The much coveted Osteria Mozza (right next to Pizzeria Mozza) have opened for a long time, but we avoided it because of stories about the horrible waiting time, bad attitude and so so food. Has things died down a little bit? Recession? Nope. Even with reservation, we waited for almost an hour for our table. […]

Torimatsu Inc (Gardena)

By in 17: South Bay

We went to this small, local yakitori joint at Torrance after a recommendation from a sushi chef. Compare to mega festive place like Shinsengumi, I prefer the homey, authentic vibe here.

SHIN BBQ (Hollywood)

By in 08: Hollywood

SHIN is a Korean BBQ restaurant with the inevitable “Hollywood ambiance” due to its locations. The Asian-inspired interior was a dramatic contrast from the minimal exterior. I like the brightness and openness of the space. The tables […]

The Park (Echo Park)

By in 05: Silver Lake + Echo Park

We’ve been cutting back a lot of the dining out these days here at Potatomato. Though it’s still tempting to go out for brunch once in awhile. Went back to The Park as they started to serve brunch now. Compare how packed it was at night the last time we went, it was quite empty […]
