Kenji Arakawa: The "Trust Me" sushi / sashimi combo is just perfect. Fish is incredibly fresh and melt in your mouth tender. And the rice - that beautiful, warm, fluffy, loosely packed rice.
Pocket Sun: Old school Japanese style sushi. Crispy seaweed, warm rice and fresh fish make perfect hand rolls. Set menus are nicely paced and bring satisfaction to the taste buds.
Pocket Sun: Simple menu to navigate. Sushi, rolls and sashimi are pretty much all there is. Excellent quality, housemade ponzu and soy, rice melts in your mouth. No dessert. The wait is about 45-60 mins.
Beau Bourne: The crisp seaweed, warm rice, and cool fish combine perfectly in every bite. Delicious hand rolls at an amazing value.
Doug de Wet: If you enjoy Sugarfish, you're likely to enjoy the food here as well, same fabulous, warm rice, tasty seafood, and streamlined format for maximum price to quality ratio.
Christine Ha: Best hand rolls ever--excellent rice & nori. Hand roll combo. Go early to avoid a wait. 👍🏼

ᴡ Espino: Sari-Sari store was awesome!! Had the sisig fried rice and enjoyed it. A bit small on the portions but busting with flavour. Goal is to try everything in their menu 😆

connie k: eggs with fried rice on the side. hellz yeah.
Zenaida Mendoza: Try the corn beef and hash & this is possibly the only place you can pair it with fried rice for breakfast!
Janelle J.: Great little Hong Kong style cafe (only open for breakfast and lunch). Try the chashu pork over rice, fried pork chops, or my fave--corned beef hash (just like my Filipino grandma used to make!)

Adrian Phillips: Brilliant southeast Asian / Vietnamese style meal. Be sure to try the salted cod fried rice, pea tendrils & lemongrass steak. Imperial rolls were delicious. Service was outstanding.
Isabella Wei: Beef vermicelli and red & black seafood rice are bomb
Chele Rocks: Was excited to try the lotus sticky rice w/chicken & pork, topped w/fried egg. The rice was a basically a glutenous lump + no flavor. Pass.

Sandwich Spot · Fashion District · 15 tips and reviews
Christine Kim: Best thing to happen in DTLA in a while. Great Banh mis and awesome rice bowls!
Adrian Phillips: Bahn Mi sandwiches for all. I change it up between the Pork and Chicken with everything on it. For something different get a bowl with sweet, delicious coconut rice.
Tony Lai: Fatty brisket banh mi with extra pate. So good. If you're here Wednesday-Sunday after 7:00pm, you can get their halal style chicken and rice.

Noodle Restaurant · Downtown Los Angeles · 53 tips and reviews
Chloe Nguyen: Vegetarian pho is yums! also try #24: bun cha gio chay (vermicelli rice noodles with veg egg rolls). With any of the bun dishes, dump all of the sauce in the bowl add sriracha, and dig in!
Jim Moore: The Vermicelli Rice Noodles with Grilled Lemongrass Steak is light & fresh and delicious!
Adrian Phillips: I usually get the 23, which is the rice noodle salad thing with egg rolls, shrimp and steak. The egg rolls are great as an appetizer. Great value for dinner if you're looking for a cheaper meal.

Kari N: If you want something lighter, get fish over salad. The creole sauce with the rice is always good.
Brian Kay: The charbroiled Shrimp and Scallops is a must try. Never disappoints and you can get fries rice or green salad as your base. They are HUGE shrimp!!
Rich Ancheta: Fried Shrimp Platter AND Catfish Strips Platter, best of both worlds and will only set you back about $20. Well worth it, if you ask me.
