The Best Restaurants in Santa Barbara, According to Eater Editors | Eater LA

"Santa Barbara’s pandemic pop-up opened in a permanent space near the Santa Barbara Public Library in 2021 and remains a local favorite. Chefs Peter Lee and Felicia Medina sling Chinese pork belly or K.F.C.-inspired bao, honey walnut shrimp, udon carbonara, and a delectable bread milk ice cream doughnut for all to savor; the vegetable-packed bibimbap and kung pao cauliflower are also worth an order. Lunch and dinner service have slightly different offerings, so make sure to try the restaurant at different times of day if you want to sample it all." - Mona Holmes
