    In the 2003 Korean film Oldboy, the protagonist Oh Dae Su is fed a steady diet of fried mandoo, a food that he detests the most, while he's imprisoned. After his release, he visits various restaurants serving the dish to get clues and determine where he was held captive. I don't know too many people like Oh Dae Su, that hates mandoo. But, I also don't know anyone that's been locked up in a room for that many years either. Still, I like mandoo in all forms and shapes, especially the Wang Mandoo (King Dumplings). Peking Dumpling sells just that and they're located inside the Hannam Chain Supermarket on Olympic Blvd in Koreatown. It's been there for years and much to my surprise, really untouched, based on 2 lone YELP reviews written a couple years back. The Wang Mandoo is decently sized, yet the bun is more fragile and thin. Less carbs, but the filling is still very tasty. It's about the size of my fist, so it's not too big. With less dough, it's not as thick, but I actually like that. Everything, is made in house, as the ladies were making them on the spot, during my visit. The Meat and Vegetable are both $6 per 6 dumplings, which is not bad for a dollar each. Honestly, these days I'm favoring the Vegetable Wang Mandoo at these types of places. They just taste better. I used to pass on the veggie option, but not anymore. If possible, Soy Sauce and Pickled Radish on the side would also be swell. Peking Dumpling also sells Vegetable Dumplings with barley mixed into the bun. It's supposed to be healthier for a buck more. The ones filled with Red Bean are also available as well, including regular Barley Bread and Corn Bread. Interesting, as I'm curious as to how the plain bread tastes like. They come in a pack of six for $3. One more awesome thing, if you like Jajangmyeon Sauce, you can get some for $4. With all this variety, doesn't this warrant a visit, especially if you're in the area?

    What an amazing shop! Was on vacation in LA for a concert and had some extra time for sightseeing…read moreand scoping out awesome food stops, so we knew Fugetsu-Do had to be on the list. The shop has been open for 103 years and is certainly impressive! We got there about 10 minutes before open and were the first ones in line. The mochi was fresh, they had a huge selection, and at a good price. They also have tons of other snacks and the staff was so nice and friendly. By the time we left, there was already about a dozen people in line behind us, so definitely recommend to get there early. Ultimately, I went with a six piece with two red bean mochi, two blueberry mochi, and two strawberry mochi. All of them were very delicious, the mochi was perfectly chewy, and a good amount of filling. We will definitely be back if we're in the area!

    The mochi wasn't particularly exceptional to me. I purchased a box of a dozen along with a few…read moreother snacks, and the mochi was okay, I think this is one of those places that's considered "good" more because of its history and reputation than because the food is truly outstanding. I'd suggest stopping by for the experience and historical significance not necessarily if you're looking for the best mochi you've ever had. Unfortunately, my experience with the staff was also underwhelming. The female employee who assisted me came across as cold and unfriendly, which didn't make for a very welcoming visit.

Was such excited to try their Taiwanese food and overall it was really good. There was mix of well priced items and others that felt expensive. We got their wontons, dan dan noodles, beef noodle soup, popcorn chicken and fruit shaved ice. Their beef noodle soup was a bit bland and okay. I liked their popcorn chicken a lot because of the seasoning and saltiness of it. We finished it off with their fruit shaved ice and it so was sooo good. It was really sugary but that pudding mixed in with the fruit and boba like flavor just hit the spot. It gave me brown sugar boba which basically means it was a brown sugar syrup haha. You have to try it out but parking is a bit tough.

    Valeria's is AWESOME! I was coming to Chile Secos, but it was closed during the Covid-19 slump…read more Valeria's had even more choices of mole pastes, and they were priced lower. I got 7 lbs of different mole pastes for $6 each. Outstanding! They also have beans, dried chiles, rice, spices and some limited groceries. Friendly staff too! Last night, I fixed a pound of Mole con Ajonjoly Telolopan with a quart of chicken broth and some fresh blue corn tortillas to make enmoladas. Incredibly flavorful - a smidge spicy for my family, but I loved the deep flavor with some heat.

    I don't do much cooking, but my friends Michael K. and Gino G. do. I accompanied Mike on a grocery…read moretrip to Grand Central Market when he was home for Thanksgiving. Gino had sent him with a shopping list of Mexican ingredients that are hard to find in Seattle, and Mike found most of them right here, at Valeria's Groceries. Valeria's is a vendor in the thick of the market, where you can buy spices, chilis, beans, moles, and a whole lot more, at what struck me as very reasonable prices. Most of the products were displayed in big bulk cases, clearly labeled for easy browsing. The man working the grocery was friendly, helpful, and efficient. He got Mike what he needed and bagged it up for him right away. I love Mexican food and fantasize about making moles at home now and then, but like, my lunch today was a soup that came out of a pantry bag and a frozen Tupperware of brown rice that my mom gave me in early 2018. If I ever get motivated, though, I know I can find what I need at Valeria's.

    The DTLA Proper Hotel is beautifully designed by Kelly Wearstler, a former athletic faciliity…read more Although I've done several staycations here, tea at Dahlia remained on my bucket list of experiences, since it's only offered on weekends. I finally was able to check it off, thanks to a hotel offer with a dining credit. Dahlia is the gorgeous petite space behind the larger ground floor restaurant space now called Cabrillo (formerly Caldo Verde). Dahlia opened as a bespoke cocktail lounge, then began to offer tea. Now it's just tea. There are five 2-tops and two 4-top tables. All food and beverage venues at the Proper used to be under the auspices of famed chef Suzanne Goin and her business partner/sommelier Caroline Styne. They are no longer affiliated with the Proper, but many of their dishes/contributions remain. The last named vestige of them is on the tea menu, "Suzanne's Deviled-Egg Sandwich". The tea menu has several options: Classic, with a seasonal mocktail, or with different champagnes. I opted for the Classic experience, because the mocktail had mocha, not my fave. Server Lluvia was clearly a Dahlia veteran; she offered a tea-smelling of all the teas that interested me as well as crowd favourites. I ultimately chose one of these faves, Mad Hatter's Tea Party, which had passionfruit and vanilla. I declined milk/cream, but did get lemon. There were rock sugar sticks on the table. It seems the selection of tea sandwiches and sweet treats changes every so often, although the vanilla bean scone, dried currant scone, Devonshire cream and apricot orange jam seem like constants. The sandwich selection at my visit were: cucumber, crab/creme fraiche, beet hummus on pita, smoked salmon and Suzanne's deviled egg. All were delish, the beet, crab and deviled egg especially. The sweet treats were: orange fig butter cookie, spiced apple brown butter crumble, cranberry frangipane hand pie, chocolate mocha macaron, pumpkin madeleine, plus the 2 scones. All were excellent. There were no leftovers. A bit pricey, but a relaxing and lovely experience. The room was not crowded when I visited, adding to the calmness of my visit.

Our server Abby was friendly and helpful but not over the top- just right. The owner was lovely and brought the food to us . We had the baguette with butter (amazing), the ricotta dumplings (star of the show), lettuce salad (best I've ever had), asparagus, and the short rib pasta which we didn't care for. But overall everything was delicious and wonderful!

    We ordered the snap peas & avocado salad ($21), beef tartare toast ($24), ricotta dumplings ($32),…read moreand half chicken ($37). The salad was way too overpriced for the portion size and there wasn't anything special about it. Maybe other than the snap peas were slightly charred? The beef tartare was okay. I think if the toast was not as thick, the flavor would be more balanced. The char on the toast was the main flavor. The ricotta dumplings were the best thing we ate that night, mostly because of the broth. It was equally light and full bodied, I could've had an entire bowl of the broth to myself! The ricotta dumplings were good but definitely needed the broth to complete it. Otherwise, it was just okay on its own. The dish comes with two dumplings. The half chicken was good. The charr on the chicken was perfect. The chicken breast was on the dry side though. The salad was more on the bitter side and it lingered. I liked that the bread was mixed in the salad and soaked up the chicken juice. I think there is room for improvement in terms of the food quality. The pricing definitely doesn't make sense. Half a chicken was only $5 more than the ricotta dumplings?? Idk. $21 for 5 endive leaves, snap peas, maybe a quarter of an avocado... the most overpriced item on the menu for sure.
