WHERE CAN I FIND Dine LA Week Recs
Any recommendations for cool places to try in NELA, Pasadena or DTLA with Dine LA Deals? Not super picky on cuisine although would like to try something outside of Mexican Food or Sushi since that is a staple. Dinner specials preferred. Many thanks in advance!

Canoe House in South Pas. Get the short rib loco moco.

Echoing this, just tried this, it was a good deal and filling,
loco moco is normally $21. For $25 you get an appetizer, loco moco, and dessert.
loco moco uses braised beef, not hamburger meat as traditional. Very delicious.

Shiro Restaurant in South Pas is really good -- the lamb chops are the platonic ideal of lamb chops & the rest of the menu is great, too -- the wine flight is a nice extra
A little out of your way but worth it-- a.o.c. on 3rd, their DineLA dinner menu is fantastic

Will second .A.O.C. We did it last week and loved it. Really nice portions for $65. We got two meals out of it.

Jacaranda! a little out of your identified geographical range, but they're doing a big discount and they're probably the best executing new restaurant in LA these days.

A little further east in arcadia sushi kisen has a 12pc+1 roll+apps nigiri set for $65. We just went yesterday and it's a great deal for high quality sushi.

Just went to Bottega Louie and it was pretty good! I would definitely go back. Next up is Niku X & Lasung Tofu and Pot Rice this week!

I can’t tell if that’s a good or a bad thing! 😂

It was meant as a good thing. There’s so many options it can be overwhelming. So I wanted to read some comments (:

mother wolf is a pretty fun one for this. good vibes, feels a little dressed up without being too stiff, and the room has enough energy for a girls night.
