This one comes from neighbor Chas Barnard, who ran across this restaurant review site on del.icio.us. He and his wife live in Wilshire Heights and say they’ve tried many of the restaurants on this list, but blog author Chas Kemp (yes, same first name) who appears to be quite a Far East traveler, includes "a couple of real gems that we had never heard of," Barnard says.

Based on the website’s suggestions, which thoroughly examine most if not all of the mom-and-pop or hole-in-the-wall type places in our neighborhood, the next place I’ll try will be La Victoria at Haskell and Ross.
