Konbi Ni - Los Angeles

Well, well prepared. The preset Japanese menu was served with hot Oolong and was delicious. Would recommend.

This is a very special restaurant. The door is closed so you can't walk in. You need to interact with the staff via an intercom system. There is no menu where you order, but a menu will be published on the left of the wall where you need to leave your queue. If you pay, you will automatically calculate the Gratuity, but there are only 3 rrickety tables on the edge of the pedestrian zone next to the sunset blvd traffic. I ordered the pork katsu sando for $15. The bread it is only normal miracle bread, not the soft and fluffy way you find in Japan. The park katsu is juicy, but a bit too salty and fibrous. What I really mean is unfriendly for customers. For me, her Sando is not worth the price tag or the trouble.

I know people say it overhyped, but it's simple and tasty. The bread is fresh. I love the egg or the lobster sandwiches. I'm also trying to get a Canele. I have to try the next time.

While the sandwiches are good, I felt that it was too expensive for the small portions and decent taste. I had less with Japanese bakers. $15 for a toncatsu sandwich and $11 for an egg salad sandwich, where typical Katsu sandwiches are $5-7 for Japanese bakeries. I expected more. The price on the taste was lacking in size.

Thought the egg sandwich was overhyped but I enjoyed the carrots and pastries. Especially the chocolate croissant; that was excellent. The service and employees were super nice as well.
