Culver City, Los Angeles · bar
The turmeric in the crispy rice salad practically glows, and the papaya salad looks engineered in another dimension. The menu lands somewhere between Southeast Asia and the American South, a combination that sounds risky and eats extremely well. The room runs a little loud for a first date or a business meeting, but exactly right for a friendly get-together. Add spirit-forward cocktails, a lush corner patio, and a tight craft beer and wine list, and the night tends to stretch itself out.
Happy hour runs Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM.
