4 Restaurants to Try This Weekend in Los Angeles - Eater LA

"To fully enjoy those three-inch tall Japanese soufflé pancakes, one must exercise great patience at Motto Tea Cafe. During weekends, the queue can stretch all the way through to the outdoor dining area, while pancakes could take up to an hour to arrive at the table. These precious creations are worth the wait, so take a friend or a book, order the refreshing Fruit Melody tea, and settle in. If dining with a partner, order contrasting flavors like the okonomiyaki soufflé pancakes with bonito flakes, seaweed, and an umami sauce drizzled on top. For the sweeter variety, opt for the creme brulee pancakes with a slightly crunchy glazed sugar top, then head home immediately to embark on a food nap." - Eater Staff
