HiFi Kitchen

"Located along Beverly Boulevard just down the street from Historic Filipinotown landmarks like Unidad Park and the recently built gateway arch, HiFi Kitchen is a fairly new addition to the neighborhood — an emblem of the changing tides of the area’s cuisine. Chef Justin Foronda first opened the casual dining spot in 2019, and his menu blends traditional cuisine with the evolving palates of younger Filipino Americans. Cue dishes like veggie sisig, which swaps out pork for a combination of roasted eggplant, marinated tofu, and shiitake or LA-inspired HiFi tacos topped with tocino pastor." - Emily Joy Meneses, Eater Staff

"This casual rice bowl joint on Beverly Blvd. is packed with vegetable sisig, chicken adobo-stuffed tacos, fries topped with ground beef chili and bell peppers, plus some of the best retro ’70s and ’80s memorabilia you’ll find in a building made in this century. Everything tends to hover around the $15 mark, so enjoy making your way down their menu, with their crispy chicken wings marinated in their signature inasal chili oil, or talib kawali—a marinated pork belly bowl, that, much like a certain Muppets relationship, focuses primarily on the pig." - nikko duren, garrett snyder
