City of Angels (cont..) – Kushiage

After our Roscoe’s trip we went back to my friend’s place in Torrance and spent the afternoon catching up. Later that night, we met up with some more friends for dinner at Kushiage. It’s Japanese and similar to Yakitori (skewers) except deep fried. As we all know, anything fried is is freakin’ delicious.

Here’s a little bit of the menu. But the skewers are on a separate menu. They range from $1-$3 per skewer.

My kabarkada Lyndy is also in LA so we all had to meet up.

Here’s our first plate. They all look the same so I didn’t photograph them individually. Since they’re breaded, I didn’t really know what I was eating until I bit into it. Like I said they all look the same on the outside. It’s like surprise eating. Haha.

Here we have the Okonomi Mashed Potato. They put hot milk and boiled potato and you have to mash it and put your chosen toppings (which they also provide). It’s like “make your own, play with your food” mashed potatoes. It was delicious though, however way you make it. Can’t go wrong.

Sizzling Sauteed Pork Cheek – this was sooooo good. The pork was super tender and it was very tasty. It would’ve been good with rice.

Skewer Plate #2 – there’s some chicken in there, some fried mochi and cheese, chicken sausage and some squid.

Wagyu Tataki – AWESOME.

Sweet Prawn – don’t be fooled. huge skewers but just a small bit of meat.

All our skewers.

The place is small so call to make reservations. Also the service is kinda spotty, considering it’s just skewers, it took a while to be served.
