The 15 Best LA Restaurants For A Birthday Dinner - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"This Filipino spot in a Silver Lake strip mall knows a thing or two about hosting celebrations. The family behind it used to run a catering operation, so they are well-versed in big, party-friendly portions of Filipino classics. Here, they're reimagined with fun riffs: crab-stuffed tortang talong topped with fish roe, housemade focaccia with a creamy coconut-taro dip, and sizzling pork belly sisig. It’s BYOB, which means you and your crew can show up with bottles of whatever you want to toast with, and the staff is happy to shove a couple of tables together for larger groups. There's even live music on weekends." - brant cox, sylvio martins, cathy park
