Muzen Sushi@Westlake Village ★★★

New Favorite Sushi Restaurant. Hidden Gem. Great Price. Came here mainly because of the name Muzen's similarity with Kibutsuji Muzan from Demon Slayer and its high rating on Yelp. Amazing service. Sushi Chef Zack-san is from the beautiful Nagoya. Came here at 12pm on Saturday. No one was there yet, so service was pretty much one on one. Regular menu uses fresh sashimi. Omakase ranges from $30 to $120.Lunch menu uses previously frozen sashimi, but $22 is a good price. Hot tea $3. They automatically add 4% to their items for credit card ($3 hot tea became $3.12). You will need to ask them to take it off if paying by cash or debit card. I recommend paying cash and tell them in advance so the pricing gets adjusted. Free parking in lot. Will definitely come back again and bring my friends.

Bone Kettle@Old Town Pasadena ★★★

Yummy Filipino Comfort Food. Their Noodles and Island Rice Plate are popular items. I was unsure about paying $26 for a rice plate. It turned out great with a variety of ingredients on the plate. On the pricier side, but great quality. Nice service. Hot tea $4. Mandatory 20% service charge. Parking at nearby public parking lot $1 for 2 hours.
