Urspace@Temple City ★★★


One of the Best Uni Pasta I have ever had. It's kind of pricey, but it's very creamy and yummy. The pasta is cooked in chicken broth, which makes it even more flavorful. Raw Egg and Black Caviar on top complete it. Definitely worth a try for Uni lovers. Uni Bun was nice. Lobster Benedict is pretty good too. Drinks can get pricey, but you get 15% off with Yelp check-in.

Hinoki & The Bird@Century City ★★★

Fantastic New American Restaurant. By celeb Chef David Myers from Comme Ça & Chef Kuniko Yagi from Top Chef. Flavorful Asian fusion blend w/ herbs like thai basil lemon grass. Great food & quality. The dishes came out really fast. Definitely try their revolutionary signature black Lobster Roll. Pumpkin Toast with its texture and the goat cheese accent is just simply delicious. Refreshing cocktail mixes and surprising Rice Cream to end. Such a delightful experience.
