4 Restaurants to Try This Weekend in Los Angeles: October 24 | Eater LA

"The most alluring thing about this Santa Monica newcomer isn’t the neon green bunny LED that beckons from its corner perch near a bustling hospital complex; it’s that prices are genuinely affordable, with most combination plates at $12.90 and originals with more expensive proteins up to $17.90. A $12.90 combination brings a large bowl with two bases (white, brown, or fried rice; chow mein; or crunchy salad), two vegetable sides (go for the pickled Chinese cabbage and spicy broccoli medallions), and one protein—orange mango chicken is a fun riff on the classic Chinese American dish. This irreverent fast-casual restaurant from chef Bryant Ng and his wife and business partner Kim Luu-Ng hits all the notes: fast, friendly service; a sleek, light-filled interior; and smart approaches to deeply familiar, comforting Chinese American fare. Go on Fridays and Saturdays for easy family dinners or solo takeout; the restaurant closes to recharge on Sunday and Monday." - Eater Staff
