The Best Dishes Eater Editors Ate This Week: September 22 | Eater LA

"When fresh crab from a reputable spot is on the menu, I order it — and at chef Charles Namba and Courtney Kaplan’s Tsubaki, that led me to the creamy, salty chawanmushi with crab. Typically a silky egg custard steamed in a cup, this version is wonderfully fluffy with a healthy dose of salty ingredients, served in the most adorable bowl and layered with flavors that surprise from the interplay of egg, Dungeness crab, and a light dusting of truffle salt. Paired beautifully with sake, it’s exactly what I’ve come to expect from this Echo Park restaurant: everything is thoughtful, well-sourced, and multi-layered to match the energetic feeling in the dining room." - Eater Staff
