KazuNori@Mid-Wilshire ★

KazuNori Original Hand Roll Bar by Sushi Nozawa. Fast, Inexpensive, & Opens Late. Came for late night dinner and done in 30 minutes. Don't expect high quality. Scallop was good. Seaweed is not quite crisp when you order set vs. a la carte. Ko Ika (Squid with Mentai & Shiso Leaf) a la carte was good. Fish was not too fresh (but justified by the price). Yellowtail and Salmon were all chopped up and a bit gooey. 6 Hand Roll Set Menu is $28, which includes Toro ($5.75), Yellowtail ($5.75), Salmon ($5.50), Bay Scallop ($5.25), Crab ($6), & Lobster ($8.50). You pay $28 for $36.75 value, which is a great deal. Uni Hand Roll $17 but didn't want to try it there. The more hand roll you get in a set menu, the better deal (but seaweed not as crisp). Opens late. No wait for later in the night. 2 hours free validated parking in lot.

GoodGoodTaste Home Cooking@East LA ★★★

Impressive Hong Kong Home Cooking. My 2nd week ordering. Fantastic quality Hong Kong style comfort food that feels like home, and better. Love the Steamed Milk with a lot of expensive healthy Fish Maw (花膠). Aroma similar to Japanese Bonito flakes. Very healthy. Pork was amazing and perfectly seasoned with a kick of garlic. Chinese Eel Rice was somewhat similar to Japanese Eel. Recommend baking for Pudding Bread. East LA pickup. Follow Facebook link for more. Cantonese/ Chinese only.
