Q Sushi@Downtown ★★★

Exquisite Japanese Fine Dining at Downtown LA. Great service. Superb quality of fish. Highly recommended. It's pricey, but it's for the quality you get. Omakase only, and it's $165 pp & up. Too bad no candles or dessert for my birthday. They don't have dessert. Free metered parking after 8pm.

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.

25 Degrees@Hollywood ★★

Nice Burger. Great selection of draft beer. Can do 1/2 Sweet Potato Fries (my fav) with 1/2 French Fries with no extra charge. The fries portion are so generous that they come with a togo box. Make sure that you take them home. #1 Burger is good but not outstanding. I would try other Burgers next time. Oh, FYI the Ranch Sauce costs a dollar. Opens 24 hours and walking distance from El Capitan Theatre. Great for late night post-show dinner.

#1 Burger $13
caramelized onion, crescenza, prelibato gorgonzola, bacon, arugula, thousand island

French Fries & Sweet Potato Fries Combo $5

Cross-Section of #1 Burger
