Do you have any specific recommendations? If there’s anything hard to get or special would love to try (range would be under 150ish per bottle).
I don’t know their prices, but if you drop in and can take a look (this is based on what looks interesting to me from instagram geotagged pictures)

Tedorikawa Tsuyusasen (if you buy this, refrigerate back at your quarters immediately) World Sake Imports

Sohomare Kimoto Tokubetsu Junmai World Sake Imports
if they have the Junmai Ginjo version that might be a bit easier to drink World Sake Imports
Born Muroka Nama Genshu Junmai Daiginjo Born Muroka Nama Genshu — MTC Sake - Japanese Beverage Distributor (refrigerate immediately), serve chilled (bottle on ice).
If you plan on having quite a bit of shellfish, Taka Tokubetsu Junmai “Noble Arrow” (great with shrimp and scallops, or a combo of those in a pasta). I quite enjoyed it with lobster and raw oysters too.

I personally prefer the Junmai more, although if you like lighter fruitier sake, Junmai Daiginjo is good. Nice value modern style sake.

I‘m good with tortillas for Ceviche and everything else, but with Aguachile it’s Saltines for me.

In addition I’d also recommend Nishida Denshu, Dewazakura Dewasansan Green Ridge, Kokuryu Tokusen Ginjo (for sashimi pairing), Dewazakura Daiginjo, Dewazakura Ichiro. If you feeling like splurging and if it costs below $150, Dewazakura Yukimanman Daiginjo. These bottles you can look up their tasting notes and see what suits you.

I noticed price increases at the Downtown LA location, too. The po’boys are a couple of dollars more than before. Can’t blame them. I don’t mind paying a bit extra to help them stay in business. However, I was startled/outraged by the prices listed on the online ordering menu. Those prices were $5 or more than what was listed if you ordered at the counter. For example, I paid $12-ish (can’t remember exactly) for an oyster po’boy when I ordered at the actual counter, but the online menu lists the same sandwich as $17.50! That’s a big difference! I understand the convenience of being able to order online, but that convenience doesn’t justify a 40% markup. I wonder if this is the restaurant’s doing or someone else? The online ordering link is found on their website.

Well that likely explains it!!
we used ChowNow so I expected the prices to be the same as inside since they charge restaurants a flat fee as opposed to Postmates which charges commission. And the “kid” is the one that went in to pick up the food so he wouldn’t have noticed the prices.
This is a good catch!!
thank you

I know for Postmates, they charge restaurants a certain percentage for delivery in addition to their delivery charge. In turn, Postmates gives restaurants the option of upping their menu prices respectively to partially or completely offset those charges. Ergo, you see those inflated prices.

Chef Johnny Lee’s Sorrowful Rice ( 黯然銷魂飯 ) was one of the tastiest things I’ve ever had from Pearl River Deli. The choice loin cut for the char siu was a perfect balance of lean and fat. A cup of Chef Johnny’s traditional HK-style herbal tea undoubtedly helped balance out the “yeet hay” on this summer afternoon! #YinYangRestoration #JustTheRightYeetHayWithChrisHei
In true fanboy fashion, I even brought my own folding chair to Pearl River Deli to commemorate the occasion… #BYOFC #PRDcosplay #AmongTheTop7Weapons #EvenThePoliceCannotArrestYou The HK milk tea was spot on in execution.
The char siu juice in the rice tasted ridiculous! Sooo much goodness, it brought a tear to my eye.
Macau Pork Chop Bun: Tried and true winner. Today was no different. Boss.
Kunming Cold Noodle: A very apropos summer offering from the kitchen. #YunnanStyle
Soy Chicken Leg: As take-out, when added to a simple bowl of steamed rice and pretty much any vegetable, I find this chicken to be a worthy centerpiece for a quick and tasty meal.
Yunnan Fried Rice: Delicious! The recent FTC deliberations on the nuances of something so “simple” as fried rice really helped me appreciate the wonderful multitudes of flavor here. Though not 宣威火腿 or Xuanwei ham (Broadbent aged ham was employed in this dish), the complexity of today’s rice was readily apparent. Loved the addition of the potatoes. Do not miss this fried rice.
Chari Siu Chow Fun: The char siu really kicked butt in this dish. #EnjoyingWokHayWithChrisHei
