Lunch at Gr/eats and Lots of Other Cool Stuff in Sawtelle, Los Angeles

I just got back from a 48-hour trip to LA. Yuka and I were going to drive, but we decided time is money and flew instead. We caught up with some old school friends from Tokyo, ate yakiniku and PinkBerry, and attended a baby shower. In between, we had a few hours so we met up with Martin Wong, co-editor of Giant Robot, in Sawtelle.

Sawtelle is this cool little 'hood in LA that has all these Japanese restaurants, a supermarket, a hip girly clothing store (ANAP—used to be my friend Mai's favorite brand), a Beard Papa, HIS Travel...basically, a solid lineup of Japanese businesses that would made us really excited. Martin took us to lunch at gr/eats, Giant Robot's only restaurant, and to the two GR stores on Sawtelle and their nearby office.

Restaurant has an extensive fish menu and amazing art on wooden panels by Ai Yamaguchi.

This was tilapia with pesto. $8.50. Yum.
