I agree with you on Mori - very good. I also like the rice at Sushi Tenn.

Hotate sushi at Mori

Ramen at Daikokuya

Blueberry pancakes at Marston's

Macarons (lemon, malted milk chocolate or pistachio) at Boule

Congee with chicken at Mission 261

Galbi and oyster tofu combo at Young Dong Garden

Lobster cocktail at The Lobster

Seiro soba at Otafuku

Nobody mentioned Chanos on Figueroa near USC! The asada, lengua, and al pastor are good. They serve breakfast burritos until 11:30 I believe.

In Glendale, El Sauz has very good asada. They are on the corner of San Fernando and Chevy Chase.

I recommend Soot Bull Jeep on 8th St. in downtown where you can bbq at your table. I was solo last Saturday at 6:30P and it was crowded with families. I guess I got lucky. On the menu it says a minimum of two orders, but they let me order just the galbi.

If you're in Pasadena/Arcadia, I recommend Young Dong Garden on Huntington.
