Those who can't cook... eat out. Everyday. Since I eat out for every meal, it's hard to keep track of what restaurants I've been to, which ones I liked or hated, and my favorite dishes. This blog is a way for me to keep track of everything.

Sushi Zo - Los Angeles, California

9824 National Blvd 
Los Angeles, CA 90034
(310) 842-3977

Sushi Zo is one of my favorite sushi restaurants in Los Angeles.  I love how each dish is pretty small so I am able to get through the entire omakase without feeling too full.  The food variety and quality is excellent and so is the service.  We come here pretty often and I enjoy it each and every time.

Joel Robuchon - Las Vegas, Nevada

3799 Las Vegas Blvd S
Las Vegas, NV 89109
(702) 891-7925
* 3 Michelin Stars *

This was my second time trying the 16 course tasting menu at Joel Robuchon since the first time I went, I used an old camera and the pictures didn't come out that great. :( 

The first time we did the 16 course tasting, every dish contained white truffles and this time they changed it to black truffles. Overall the food and service was great, the food presentation was awesome and it's definitely an experience I would recommend everyone trying at least once.

My favorite dish is still the crab meat caviar. I can't seem to get enough of it so I will definitely go back!

Urasawa - Beverly Hills, California

218 N Rodeo Dr
Beverly Hills, CA 90210
(310) 247-8939

*2 Michelin Stars*

Since I never took any pictures from my previous visits here, we went for dinner one night to indulge in the excellent creations of Chef Hiro Urasawa, (and to take some pictures of course).  I've been here several times in the past years and loved it every single time.  My first time here was about 8-9 years ago and not much has changed.  Although a few of the dishes are different, most of the items are always consistent on the menu.

I would definitely recommend trying this place at least once.  It's definitely something different but totally worth it.
