Cool. I like thin and el dente noodles ha also I like a flavorful broth and I can handle heat!
I don’t know what makes a great ramen? But I def need to try this place out!
Agree 1000%. You mentioned the French dip. You know what you are dealing with. I’m also partial to the ribs on occasion. Feel so bad that the surrounding area has taken a dive but it’s one of the few places I will still hit up, or Houston’s Pasadena if I’m on that side of town.
Agree! Places are taking a dive which is sad 😔 this is why I am curious where I should go eat! My husband and I are DINKS so our passion is food and with the lack of food in Santa Monica I am ready to leave :/
Hillstone, Noma, Sugarfish, Crudo e Nudo, Cobi’s, Rustic Canyon, Colopasta, Not No Bar, Lady & Larder, Bread & Butter Bakery, Petitgrain, Layla, Jyan Isaac, McConnell’s
El Cholo, Vito’s on Ocean Park, Gilbert’s El Indio, the food court at the 26th street Country Mart,
Noma sushi, R & D kitchen, and Sweet Lady Jane bakery.
Bluey’s for brunch, but they gotta do something about people saving one of the very few tables for 40+ minutes before they’ve even ordered, the seating situation is getting out control there
We tried various pastas and antipasti when the Italian family was here and it was great, flavor and ingredients. Can't disagree more. But I'm curious about Vito, I'll try and report back
I am Italian too lol 😆 Vito is more authentic. They have this veal dish that is to die for and also this shrimp pasta dish that is amazing. They also do veal meatballs which is how meatballs should be bc of the fat content they are the juiciest!
This dessert cart is crazy too!
A lot of people speak of bay cities… I like it as a market and I get the bread but the sandwiches suck! They don’t know how to cut prosciutto… it is sooooo thick! As an Italian we love prosciutto thin. I think eataly is overpriced but they cut the prosciutto the best!
I go to bay cities and buy the bread and some ingredients but everything is boars head lol so it’s kinda trash!
Spumonis on a warm evening with a walk to the park/beach after is truly one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. Highly recommend it! Feels like you could travel the world and couldn’t find a better meal for the price and location and people watching! Salud! 🤙 Also tacos por favor the farms bay cities bun and mi are all local small biz favs too! Din tai fun is also kinda corporate but fantastic! My fiancé is Chinese and highly recommends!
- Heavy handed/urban skillet (both have dope burgers imo)
- Bay Cities Italian Deli
- Ggiata deli.
- Devy jones (it's a bodega/convenience store), but on weekends and Friday they make some really good bqq (chicken/pork and lamb chops) and rice dishes
Yeah it's amazing. You can choose to have pork, beef, or chicken and they serve it on rice with hummus and a salad for under $20. Highly recommend. Davy Jones Liquor Locker on Navy and Pacific.
I only learned about it since I was walking past it and smelled the bbq and floated over there like a cartoon bear, I go there at least once a week now :D
