Izakaya Bincho

This non-descript restaurant is one of the better Izakaya places i have been to. A great selection of japanese style “tapas” can be found here. Small plates of braised pork belly, japanese chicken wings, tofu, and other classic izakaya dishes was thoroughly enjoyed by my group of friends. i wish this was closer to me, so i could kick back once a week and have a cold pitcher of beer with mouth watering food to match. The place is run by a 30-something japanese couple, new transplants in to the LA area. The wife handles the service and the husband (the chef) is the master behind the counter.

Check the pics. (not great since i only had my chitty camera)

L.A. Street Food Fest – Winner is…Monsieur Egg

Thoughts on LA Street Food Fest, pretty awesome, pretty crowded too! Vushotcha and me should have planned the day better. We should have hit Ludo Lefebvres truck first. His line was like the old days of the DMV. Fuck That! NO fried chicken is that good (I’m just bitter). Here are the following places we tried.

Phamish – Their Bahn mi was ok. i still prefer the brick and mortar locations all over the SGV and OC.
Flying pig – ate some pork belly, Peking style and a slider. Not bad but was expecting more.
Mama Koh’s – some good KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) wings. I would like Kyochon and Mama Koh’s wings to have a battle.

But the one i want to talk about is Monsieur Egg – my Favorite!
I had their scrambled eggs and thick cut bacon with home made croissant. scrambled eggs were perfect! soft, fluffy and they were still able to retain and keep the custard texture of the eggs.

We were getting pretty full and needed to take a quick rest, walked around and all the lines were waay too long!
I headed back to Monsieur Egg, I was so impressed with his food i ordered another item on his menu – Croque Madam with Fried egg.
