This vibrant city is buzzing with culinary delights, and we’ve rounded up four must-try restaurants that are sure to tickle your taste buds. Whether you’re in the mood for some quintessentially imperial cuisine, modern French flair, coastal Mexican gems, or hearty Chinese noodles, you’ll find it all right here!
Bistro Na’s: A Royal Feast Awaits
Let’s kick things off in Temple City, where Bistro Na’s is creating a stir with its imperial Manchu cuisine from the Qing dynasty. Located at 9055 Las Tunas Drive, Suite 105, this spot is renowned for its outstanding Beijing duck—often hailed as one of the best in the U.S.! This weekend, don’t miss out on the new spring menu, featuring delightful dishes like jujubes stewed with Kurobuta pork belly and deep-fried eggplant with sweet sauce. Of course, there are year-round favorites too, such as the Beijing cabbage with Kurobuta pork pot, Na’s Angus rib, and Na’s Drunken Chicken. Don’t forget to reserve early if you want to taste that famous duck; it tends to sell out weeks in advance!
Mr. T: A French Feast with an Asian Twist
Next, we head to the heart of Hollywood to find Mr. T. This modern French restaurant, located at 953 N. Sycamore Avenue, unravels a unique dining experience with Asian ingredient influences that you won’t want to miss. Chef Alisa Vannah has crafted an eclectic menu that serves up dishes like coconut curry ocean trout crudo and lumpia filled with chicken and shrimp mousse. Angling for something hearty? Dive into the crispy-skinned branzino served with Japanese sweet potatoes or indulge in steak frites topped with peppercorn sauce. And for a comforting twist, try the boeuf bourguignon with a delightful kick of sweet-soy sauce and apple kimchi!
Mariscos Jalisco: Dive into Coastal Wonders
Now let’s take a trip to Boyle Heights for a coastal Mexican experience at Mariscos Jalisco. This gem at 3040 E. Olympic Boulevard is famous for its mouthwatering deep-fried shrimp tacos dorados. Local fans recommend waiting just 30 seconds before taking a bite to avoid burning your tongue on those hot, crispy delights! Guests can savor the Poseidon dish, which combines octopus, shrimp aguachile, ceviche, salsa, and avocado on a crispy tortilla for an explosion of flavors. If you want to chill out with a sit-down vibe, swing by their Pomona location, or check out their Mid-City food truck, which operates from Wednesday to Friday.
Qin West: A Noodle Lover’s Paradise
Rounding off our culinary journey is Qin West, a noodle specialist nestled in the Far East Plaza at 727 N. Broadway, Suite 111. Known for its consistently great food, this area has easy table access, making it a charming choice amid the bustle. Their Liangpi, a cold noodle dish from Shaanxi, is a must-try and will definitely excite your palate. Don’t overlook the hot dry noodles, adorned with peanuts and cilantro, and flavored generously with Chinese vinegar and chile oil. It’s comfort food at its best!
So there you have it, food enthusiasts! Los Angeles is brimming with culinary hotspots that you won’t want to miss this weekend. Grab your friends and family, make those reservations, and get ready to embark on a delicious adventure!
