"This breezy Taiwanese cafe in Alhambra is one of the best restaurants in LA. And while their dinner menu is elite, brunch is no slouch either. If you’re by yourself midweek, go for a set meal, which gets you a choice of protein (we love the buttery, dry-aged barramundi), miso soup, vegetables, and rice. For a weekend brunch with friends, concentrate on the shareable stuff like cold sesame noodles, cornmeal pancakes, and smoked salmon hash with lemon creme fraiche." - brant cox, sylvio martins
