Pizzeria Sei@West LA ★★

Popular Pizzeria with Asian Influence. I like Patate Pizza in white sauce, which tasted like Escargot seasoning with garlic, butter, and potato. Diavola Pizza was spicy with aromatic herbs. Dressing for Caesar Salad was too much. Topped with Anchovies. Reservation highly recommended. Free metered street parking around the block after 6pm.

Furaibo 風来坊@Sawtelle ★

Long-Standing Cozy Japanese Restaurant since My College Time. Good food and reasonable pricing. Features Chicken Wings & Yakitori. Okra is always my favorite. Ishikari Nabe is always great with the tasty soup base, especially in the cold winter. Unagi is probably from China and had too much sauce on top. Walk-in ok. Will come back again. Sapporo pitcher $18.50 (good deal). Hot tea is complimentary. Limited free parking in rear.
