Mar Vista - West LA, Los Angeles · restaurant
Taiwanese soul food backed by a cocktail list with names like Fragile Ego, Banana Boi, and The Big Strawbowski, which tells you the room doesn’t take itself too seriously. The XO Fatty Noodles and 3 Cup Chicken are the anchors, and the surprise appearance of XLB on the menu feels like a bonus round. Next door, Accomplice Bar picks up where dinner leaves off once the cocktails start winning the argument.
Delicate xiao long bao served on a bar menu—an unexpected and welcome gift
Taiwanese classic with garlic, ginger, chiles, and Thai basil—bold and fragrant
Wok-tossed noodles with XO sauce—savory, umami-rich, deeply satisfying
