"A Thai spot that’s one of Hollywood’s best-kept secrets, Otus has a really fantastic breakfast menu. You can’t miss the Kai-Kata - which is the most complete breakfast set around: A little pan of sour ground pork, sweet sausage, and eggs, with grilled bread, and OJ or Thai coffee. If you want something sweeter, go for the brioche French toast, loaded with whipped cream and seasonal fruit. Most importantly for when you’re trying to get work done - they’ve got a bright, quiet space, with some communal tables and a tiny patio. It’s the perfect oasis from the chaos that’s constantly outside at Fountain and La Brea." - brant cox, brett keating
