Feast From The East (Los Angeles, CA)

Yes, another entry from sunny Southern California.

Feast from the East has been one of my favorite places in LA from the time I think I started eating real food. It started as a 10x10 shack and has since expanded into a full restaurant that has table service etc. I was skeptical when this happened, as many places, when they expand, lose some quality. However, this place has not gone down hill at all. They have two signature items and signature they are! The first are their Sesame Chicken Wings. They have the perfect sweet batter, large wings and perfectly juicy. Also, if you like a lot of batter, they put a ton on and it is almost like a sweet treat while eating them.

The other signature dish, and I don't really know anyone who goes here and doesn't get this, but their classic Chinese Chicken Salad. It is so simple. Basically just lettuce, carrots, almonds, crispy wontons and then the kicker, their awesome dressing which is now bottled and sold in local LA food markets. The dressing is so light and simple, you would think, why is this so special....but there is just something so refreshing and delicious about it.

Other items to suggest are the meat egg rolls, the bbq pork and the combination fried rice. Although this is considered Chinese food, it is much more different than any place you have been. They have great take out which I usually go for. Stop by if you are in West LA on Westwood Blvd.

Stay hungry my friends.
