It's 3 cabbage rolls filled with beef and rice on top of a tomato sauce served with a side of toasted bread. So delicious and reminded me of grape leaves but with cabbage instead highly recommend MYLNTSI (crepes) $19 I for the one with chicken and mushrooms sauce and it was pretty tasty. The crepe is filled with ground chicken I think with a creamy mushroom sauce on the outside. I liked this but felt the dish needed more of the sauce since most of the flavor came from the sauce They also have cherry filled dumplings that I really wanted to try but they ran out so I'll be back for them next time!

Looking for something different? Look no further than mid-Wilshire at Fusion Kitchen…read more Fusion Kitchen serves modern Ukrainian food in a comfortable atmosphere that is not only tasty, but filling. You order and pay at the counter. I had their signature mlyntsi with chicken and mushroom which is a pan-fried savory crepe filled with chicken and mushroom in a creamy mushroom sauce. It was absolutely delicious. The only criticism I have is that my dish came out a bit lukewarm. I would have liked it served much hotter. Service was good. Overall, Fusion Kitchen is a great local find near LACMA.

5/5 - Flavor-packed, thoughtful plating, and absolutely worth the visit…read more This spot delivers on both flavor and presentation. I ordered a loaded carne asada-style dish served over fresh greens, and every bite was intentional and well-balanced. The beef was deeply seasoned, tender, and slightly crisped in places, which added great texture. It was topped with a creamy, slightly tangy sauce that tied everything together without overpowering the meat. What really stood out was the attention to detail: pickled red onions for acidity, fresh greens for balance, and a side of house-made pickled vegetables that cut through the richness perfectly. The tostada-style side topped with avocado, herbs, and onions added a nice contrast--crunchy, fresh, and vibrant. You can tell the ingredients are fresh and thoughtfully prepared. Portion size was generous without feeling excessive, and the dish felt hearty yet clean. I paired it with a refreshing citrus drink that complemented the meal well and kept everything light. Overall, this is the kind of place where you can tell the kitchen cares about execution. Bold flavors, great balance, and a presentation that looks just as good as it tastes. I would absolutely come back and recommend it to anyone looking for a satisfying, well-crafted meal

The minute we walked…read morethrough the door, the woman behind the counter greeted us enthusiastically -- big plus already. She handed us menus and told us to order at the counter when we were ready and they serve breakfast all day. The menu can feel a little intimidating. It has Mexican, Guatemalan and Salvadoran which I am not all that familiar with. We landed on a couple of pupusas and a couple of fish tacos. There are signs letting you know the food is cooked to order and to expect a 20-25 minute wait, so at least they set expectations up front. The dining room was small but warm and colorful and there were additional tables set up just outside the front door. We had no problem finding a table inside. When the food came out, the portions were generous and the presentation was better than you'd expect from a humble neighborhood grill. The pupusas were crisp on the outside with plenty of filling, and the fish tacos were fresh and well-seasoned -- nothing greasy, nothing bland. Friendly service, solid food, and a spot I'd definitely come back to now that I know what to order.

The bruschetta was super fresh, light, and a great starter. The tomatoes were juicy and bright with that classic garlic and basil flavor. Nonna's meatball was also really good. It was tender and the marinara that had that slightly sweet, tomato-forward flavor with parmesan melted into it. And paired with the bread, it felt very comforting. The rigatoni vodka was solid. Pasta was cooked well, nice and al dente, and the sauce was creamy and so rich. The margherita pizza was a little on the smaller side, but honestly perfect for the two of us ladies to share alongside everything else. The tiramisu was a really nice way to finish the meal. Light, creamy and balanced. I loved the vibes here. Dim lighting, cozy ambience, and the service was pretty fast. I would definitely come back again.

The professional way they package their meals for travel holds up well and the food arrives hot (or cold) and fresh and pretty well presented for traveling a few miles via delivery jockey.

They have breakfast sandwiches, granola bowls, pancakes, omelettes, burgers, hot dogs, salads, bakery pastries and cake slices. There's a fridge full of various fresh cheeses and another fridge with ready to bake breads and pastries that you can take home to bake yourself. Lots of variety snacks throughout the store; often ones that you do not find at regular grocery stores. For example, they have dang Thai Rice chips, which are bomb good. I used to only be able to find these on Thrive market, so it's good to see a local place sell them. Staff were all friendly and willing to answer any questions you may have. Interesting note is that they have various checkout counters throughout the store; it doesn't matter which counter you pay at. From the deli, I have tried... 1. Kale Salad with Spicy Peanuts & Queso Fresco It's technically supposed to be a healthy dish, but the sauce was too sweet for my liking. I think the sweetness is from the honey & the dried cranberries in it. Otherwise, the kale was fresh and spicy peanuts added a little bit of kick 2. Tarragon Chicken Salad The chicken was on the drier side, but the sour cream sauce was light and creamy - could use more herbs for flavoring though. I'll come back again for when I need a quick grub! Worth checking out if you are in the area

It definitely lives up to the hype--this place draws everyone from locals to celebrities. The menu had so many tempting options that choosing was honestly the hardest part. I went with the Breakfast Sandwich and added Truffle Parmesan Fries, my wife ordered the Classic Eggs Benedict with potatoes, and we got a waffle with whipped cream and fresh fruit for our son. Everything hit. My breakfast sandwich was incredible--the bun was soft, the ingredients were well-balanced, and the chipotle aioli really took it to another level. The Eggs Benedict was cooked perfectly, and the hollandaise had a rich, flavorful finish. The waffle had that ideal texture: slightly crisp on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. We enjoyed the food so much that there was barely anything left to take home. On top of that, the staff was warm and welcoming, which made the experience even better. The only downside is parking--since there's no dedicated lot, finding street parking can take a bit of patience. Overall, we'll definitely be back to work our way through more of the menu.

They were able to offer their fan faves and personal faves of menu items and provide great recommendations. One of their executive staff Karina was there to greet us and welcome us and offer the amazing suggestion of trying their waffles. I ordered the Dialog detox smoothie with kale, spirulina, hemp milk , banana and pineapple. It was the perfect balance of sweet and earthy and it was a great pick. The star of the show was their waffles with strawberry butter. Their strawberry butter is made with colostrum and made in house. It was so creamy, sweet and delicious! The waffles was fluffy and soft and the right amount of crisp. The waffles and butter just melts in your mouth. I had a great experience and will definitely return whenever im in the area.
