Kyoto Wagyu Tonkatsu Ten no Meshi LA, Los Angeles

Mar 4, 2026

Katsu at .la.official had waygu and pork katsu. A5 Wagyu Tenderloin Cutlet Set Meal And the Kurobuta Pork Loin & Tenderloin Cutlet Set Meal. With the scallop cutlet topped with salmon roe. The Wagyu pieces were practically raw then they provide a hot stone to sear the beef. Each beef piece was quite tender and had a great mouth feel. Would order again. Make sure you open up yelp and get in line before you arrive - otherwise your wait is way over an hour.

Super Peach, Los Angeles

Feb 28, 2026

David Chang’s Super Peach at century city mall. Had the savory donut - with curry, the spicy green salad, and pork belly ssam. TBH the pork belly ssam wasn’t what I was expecting. I was expecting a thinly sliced traditional version. But this was pretty good.

Shang Artisan Noodle, Las Vegas

Feb 17, 2026

Knife cut beef noodle soup at Shang Artisan Noodles. Was recommended and did not disappoint. Would fully return when I go back to Vegas. Knife cut noodles are my favorite style of noodles. The spicy beef broth was a bit too spicy for me . . . Yes I’m a bit wimpy like that. The south wontons were tremendous. The tender beef brisket was abundant, tender, and flavorful. Should shot a quick pic of the cucumber salad. . . 台灣牛肉麵

Old Log Cabin Distillery, Seattle

May 15, 2025

American Whiskey Maker - with their Cool tasting room with pretty good pizza from . They had few different old fashioned including a peanut butter banana, S’mores, strawberry cheesecake, and a toffee. I couldn’t decide what to get, since they sounds interesting - so I got a flight to try them all. Unfortunately, after the first 2 - they tasted similar since I was starting to get a buzz. I think it didn’t help, when I also ordered a flight of their whiskeys to taste, too. So 4 different old fashioned and 4 different whiskeys. It was a good night. Good to see some old friends in Seattle. Had a great time. Old log cabin was the perfect place to finish off the trip. . . .

Piroshky Piroshky, Seattle

May 14, 2025

Handheld meat pies from Piroshky Piroshky at Pike Place. Highly recommended by a friend, I had to try these immediately. Got the smoke salmon pate, chicken curry rice, and the beef onion. They were all good. Who doesn’t like hand held meal while peruse around the market. I liked the beef onion - with my bias for the more savory. Clear skies in the Spring, walking through the smells of the gum wall of Pike Place with Piroshky Piroshky meat pies - the ideal day in Seattle. . . .

Ox Burger. Recommended by a local in Seattle. Tasty burger with an even more interesting texture with the taro stems. Solid. Also, saw Cole slaw on the menu and had to order it. Glad I did. Interesting menu with southeast Asian influences. I think it would do well in LA. . . . .seattle

Pike Place Market in Seattle. Very touristy. But I like it. Lots of local crafts and stuff to eat. Also they have these large bronze pigs scattered all around the market. You can “buy” pig foot prints

You know I had to have some BBQ . . . While I was in the Pacific Northwest, visiting an old classmate, I was tasked to choose a cuisine/restaurant. So I picked BBQ and found Jones BBQ in Victoria, BC.
