Yeah, I know several heroin addicts personally, and at least a few of them are quite wealthy. Even the wealthy ones enjoy taking a romp on skid row because it’s one of the only places in the world you can shoot up in something like a community of people “like you”.
I’m sure you really get off on judging people from afar, though, rather ironically the reason that even people with millions of dollars prefer shooting up in tents on skid row some nights.
Actually I thought you were the one judging others when you referred to the heroin addicts OF skid row rather than ones visiting there.
#The New Year’s Day Bang Bang
The diet starts… next year
#Roberta’s
bee sting - tomato, chili flake/oil, basil, mozzarella, spicy sopressata, honey
#The Cannibal
the cannibal burger - red onion, onion soubise, provolone, shoestring fries
meh
That’s a good looking burger especially if you are an onion fan like me!
How was the burger? I’ve had a few disappointments at the Cannibal but it looks excellent in the picture.
Unfortunately it was a big bucket of meh. I had to add ketchup to give it some flavor.
What a drag. It was pretty damn good when we went for lunch about a month ago. I had a bite and was really wishing I could have more.
And at least they let you have ketchup.
Well, that’s weak. I was dragged to a brunch there and almost every dish was flavorless. The most appalling dish was a “matcha cinnamon bun,” which was just so much worse than a standard cinnamon bun and the “matcha” icing was gloopy, medicinal, and awful.
New Year’s day lunch was sort of a Bang Bang - Santouka for Toroniku Shoyu Ramen, Hannosuke for Tendon and Shave ice at Get Shaved down the street.
Little Saigon Bang Bang
Buncha Hanoi @ Hanoi Avenue
Some people combine in the sauce or empty bowl. Up to you. Nice char from the pork, some sweetness and garlic from the sauce, and freshness from herbs and lettuce. Pretty good. I enjoyed it. Would love to go to Hanoi and have it for lunch. Oh the mint and lettuce with the pork is a great bite!!
Next…
Dessert…
Wow mi la cay is still in business. That’s amazing!!
How long have they been in business? Are they one of the OG’s in Little Saigon?
You’re the Olympic Gold Medalist of Bang Bang. One point off for the nipple drip.

Carb loading for a race I’m not running.

Yet they continue to serve it.
[/quote]If it were Top Chef they could get eliminated for that.
I had to ask my mom and she remembers it since at least the late 80’s. I cannot remember a time when Mi La Cay did not exist.
OC Teriyaki Bang Bang
Matiki Island BBQ/Anaheim:
True mom-n-pop operation. All family members. Well known by local Hawaiians, as they also run the dance school next door.
Teriyaki here is thinner.
Tikiyaki’s in Orange.
" Habanero Teriyaki Sauce?"
“Yes please”
Is the correct answer. I think it is one of the BEST teriyaki sauces around. And the chicken here has always been juicy.
Lots of regulars by name here. Spoke to a Seattle transplant here one night and said it is just as good if not better than Seattle spots.
Bonus: Mos 2, most ghetto fabulous teriyaki joint in OC. Real heads know.
I usually get the beef ribs at Matiki’s. It a great family run business.
YES!!! For QPR and Tastiness and efficiency… there is some serious good food going on the Teriyaki Huts in throughout L.A. Charki’s Teriyaki in Gardena with their Avocado bowls is my favorite.
–Dommy!
Scrolling thru the Yelp pics of Charkis and it looks great! I love teriyaki joints. In LA proper I had Bernie’s Teriyaki in Filipinotown-Echo Park, that was really good, get the beef and pork, the chicken was dry when I went.
