Pot Cafe - Koreatown

Yup, it's finally open at The Line Hotel in Koreatown. Every foodie in L.A. knows Roy Choi, and it's his cafe and you can taste his pastries for really reasonable prices? I was too excited. And Roy Choi himself was there! I wish I got to talk to him but I was really in hurry and had to run. But I'm going back very soon (like tomorrow) to get almond puff and strawberry & cream.

Most of them are around $3, which is not cheap if this is just a local ktown bakery, but it's cheap as a celebrity chef's bakery in L.A.

kimchi squat $2.25
Spicy sauce (maybe sriracha) and nori on the bun. It says kimchi but you won't see any actual kimchi pieces. It wasn't spicy. Little greasy.

black sesame butter mochi cake $3
Ok, so this is hard to describe. It's not sweet. It wasn't gooey like Japanese mochi. Black sesame paste on top of doughy bar.
