Robata Jinya@West Hollywood ★★★

Less Expensive Robata w/ Great Quality. Portions are good. Really nice Ramen with thin noodles. Love the Lotus Root Robata. Eggplant Robata had a flavorful taste of soup in it. I like to dip the Robata with the Cilantro Sauce the most. Nice service. Free parking at meters after 8pm.

Susie Cakes Bakery@Manhattan Beach ★★★

Fantastic Cupcakes. Frostings are creamier and much softer than Sprinkle's. I really enjoyed the Blueberry Pancake Cupcake, but it's seasonal. They drill a hole in the middle of the cupcake to put more frostings in it. Great service too.

Great Crispy Shrimp Cake. It has a hint of coconut flavor in it w/ sweet & sour sauce, giving it a Thai taste. Definitely worth a try. Fries were super with the Galic Aioli Sauce.

Woori Market@Little Tokyo ★★

Sea Urchin from Woori Market in Little Tokyo. Great stuff. $16.99 for a big box. It was a little something extra for my meals and lasted for a few meals. Great with pasta. They also sell smaller boxes for $6.99, but they don't taste good.

The Stinking Rose@Beverly Hills ★★

Quite a Garlicky Experience. The only thing is that you get used to the garlic taste after a eating everything garlic for a while. They give you extra garlic sauce on the side, so you can add extra garlic to your dish. The Garlic Ice Cream is not garlicky enough. They sing a birthday song, take a picture w/ a huge garlic hat on you, and e-mail it back to you. That's pretty fun.
