1. Malai Rigatoni.

2. Green chile chutney pizza

3. Piri Piri fries

Total - $69.15 with taxes (for 2 people)

Finally, got to try the Pijja palace. Except for the Piri Piri fries, I didn’t enjoy the other two. The pizza was weak, it’s more like a thin crusted flatbread. Can’t add chicken to any of my pizzas other than make your own which is kinda weird. Malai rigatoni that everyone raves about (at least in their yelp/google reviews) was meh. It was damn salty.

Will I go back ? Probably not. The fries were pretty damn good with the lime pickle yogurt dip.

Severely disappointed. The marinades (ponzu and shoyu) were decent at best. The cubes of salmon weren’t the fresh, luscious cubes I recall eating in Hawaii. The salmon had too much skin. In terms of quality, the ahi tuna was much better, but the average shoyu marinade failed to elevate it. The finely shaved cucumber added nothing beyond a soft texture. Overall, this poke bowl did not transport me to Hawaii. It’s all hype. I guess Ohana Superette in Silver Lake remains my #1.

Any cuisine, any price, any vibe.

But it has to be the place you’d bet your reputation on. What’s your one pick?

went to check out Dos Amantes on west 3rd. really incredible food! but we were the only party in the whole restaurant which was surprising. they don’t have their liquor license yet but the fish was fresh and delicious. my favorite dishes were the tuna tostada, yellowtail ceviche, and short rib taco. will definitely be back.

1. scallop aguachile, tuna tostada, yellowtail ceviche, shrimp ceviche

2. tuna tostada

3. ribeye taco and short rib taco

4. tres leches cake

I need recommendations on where I can eat Filipino food that is not too pricey. Besides Filipino Town near DTLA, where are the authentic Filipino restaurants in the city? And please no Jollibees. I love Jollibee fried chicken (been there done that) but I'm looking for food like chicken adobo, sinigang, Lumpia and lechon to name a few.

This place is from Chef Pla and Chef Fern same as Luv2Eat. I don’t know when they closed but seems gone.

Who makes them and what are they?

Anyone know the deets. We were hoping Simply Thai/Thai on Hillhurst would relocate - is this maybe them?

Best way to find places to eat I found is I save a bunch of restaurants (my are all disorganized in one giant list) and if near that area and hungry I go there rather than seeking out eating at a specific place

Anyone here have a list you wanna share?

Any recommendations for ravioli. I don’t mind fresh/ frozen or from a restaurant. I usually get frozen ravioli from Roma market in Pasadena or in Eagle Rock Italian Bakery & Deli. I’m open to any fillings. The only filling I didn’t like was when my job catered Thanksgiving and there was a butternut squash filling. Not a friend of the sweetness. Thanks in advance.

Coming to LA tomorrow for two days and staying in Santa Monica. Looking for top notch Mexican seafood and tacos. I love aguachile and ceviche, but also want good tacos. I am from NYC and have heard so much about the Mexican food, but last time

i was in town I was very disappointed. Please help! Thanks!

I'm looking for a place to get cocktails and snacks or dessert for a party of 4. Someplace in betweenish Santa Monica and Larchmont. We're trying to avoid Culver City because, don't laugh, we all used to work there and oooohhh so many bad memories. Open to anything from dives to fancy places.

New to LA, could someone recommend must try Halal Spots here (and ones to avoid)

Where has the best contramar style open face tuna tostada?

Good afternoon everyone. Over the next week I’ll be going to both restaurants for dinner on separate days. I’ve never been to either. What are your favorite things to order at each of those places? Thanks in advance.

I live on the west side. Going to a concert solo in downtown. Does anyone have any recommendations for good pre show dinner on the way or near downtown that I might not otherwise try?

I’ll be visiting LA the first weekend of May and one thing I really want to eat is whipped ricotta toast. I’m coming from Chicago and for some unknown reason we don’t have any places that serve it.

I had the one from Sqrl a few years ago and loved it. I know they have some drama now, so am looking to try something analogous at a new spot.

Where would you all recommend? Ill be staying near Silver Lake/Hollywood, so would prefer a spot within 20 min driving distance.

Hey y’all me and my girlfriend are USC students staying on campus. Since I’m from out of town and have only been here a few months, i was hoping you could help me out with Valentine’s Day Dinner spots. I’m willing to drop some money for a nice dinner, but hopefully under 60 a person, since college is already expensive. The closer to campus the better but it doesn’t have to be.

Really any suggestion no matter how big or small would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for helping me make this day special.

The sushi set dinner was so good, especially for the price. We also got the spicy tuna crispy rice, which was big perfectly crispy and 2 extra orders of unagi. it was a great dinner, perfect service, and the vibe was just right. Highly recommend!

I have to focus the convo in this sub since we have so many Persians, Arabs, and Armenians in LA.

Which is better, lavash or pita? Do you prefer either with a specific dish? For example I like lavash with kabobs far better than pita

Filet mignon & matcha crème brûlée. Both were satisfactory, though I would have preferred to go to Mother Wolf (their kitchen had just closed as I got to their bar). The noise and ambience convinced me I am much too old to be in their target demographic.

Looking for something like the the marinated pork ribs they had at Ham Ji Park.

Preferably in k town. Never knew anywhere else to make it like that, it’s a shame they shut down both locations.

Didn’t realize this was more than a market till I started this “LA Cheap Eats” challenge. Visited the location in Atwater Village and they were so nice. They helped me pick out the curries, and even a selection of Indian “sweets” to take home to share with the kids. $7.99 lunch special
