Republique isn’t very likable whatsoever LOL. Very snobby.
I loved the takeout I got during COVID from Kali other than the panna cotta. Not great to hear nothing was “exceptional” other than the wine list. Still looks like a very interesting meal.

Warrior: I have higher expectations for expensive restaurants than I do for everyday restaurants, and the enthusiasm level in my reviews reflects that. When I write a gushing review about an expensive restaurant (e.g., Hayato), I consider that restaurant truly elite.
Warrior: I said “top 20” last time, but our recent visit established this as a clear top 10 LA restaurant in my mind and top 5 non-Japanese. Love the wine list too.

Warrior: I continued my diet at Kali. wowee zowee. 7.0 Warrior Points.
Peony: I feel Kali has been improving quite a lot over the years. Every time I visit I feel the meal was much better than the one before. The meal tonight was my favorite of all the visits. The mushroom / seaweed risotto topped with truffle was really remarkable.
