Hashi - Little Tokyo

It was on Sunday, me and my friend were looking for place to have lunch but the places we tried to go were all closed. We tried to go to Men-Oh Tokushima but they said 15 minutes wait so we decided to just eat here. This place was empty, everything we ate were so-so. Sorry, but I'm not going back.

Too much sauce, too sweet, sushi wasn't rolled well.

Nature's Brew - South Los Angeles

New bakery just opened near USC. I got two pastries to go and they were both delicious.
Also the cashier girl was super friendly.






















When I was there, it was very quiet, everyone was studying, I guess. So I'm not sure if this is the good place to chat loud with friends.












Choco twist $3.50 and Burekas $3.25
Choco twist had lots of choco chips and some vanilla cream.













Burekas was filled with lots of mushrooms and onions. I just loved it.
