"All of the Japanese-Southern fusion dishes at this DTLA lunch spot are fantastic. But their massive sando is by far the star of the show. This beige beauty has a juicy piece of chicken thigh that’s almost (but not quite) too large for its toasted brioche bun. And while there’s nothing too fancy going on here, Tokyo Fried Chicken pulls this thing off at every level—from the thick batter evenly coating the meat to the ideal pickle-to-mayo ratio. Plus, each order comes with salty, housemade potato chips with a hint of vinegar that we can’t stop thinking about." - sylvio martins, garrett snyder, arden shore, brant cox
