is this the new place that just opened a couple of doors up from Beer Belly (in the former coffee place)? If so, how’s the non-HH food? (if you’ve tried it)
Overall, I think it’s pretty good. Some highs and lows, however, which I attribute to a new endeavor.
Lobster roll - Fantastic; housemade roll, crunchy and pillowy inside, perfect vehicle for the lobster meat, just wish it was bigger; more like lobster sliders than roll
Duck pancake - dry duck, good crepe-like tortilla, would’ve been tempted to wrap the tortilla with the duck meat
Curry mussels - might be a good get for those who don’t like the brininess of mussels b/c the curry is overpowering, but it is pretty good curry

I’ve noticed anytime I order $1 oysters somewhere, they are Mexican oysters, of which I’m not a fan.
Anyone found any oyster happy hours with non-Mexican oysters?
[/quote]Nope. And I normally agree with you on this point. But if a place goes the extra mile, they can find a good Mexican oyster for your enjoyment. Here’s a HH report I did during DOTM Cold Foods.
Rascal’s burger was as tasty & juicy as it looks. The chicken was salty, but otherwise quite good for boneless fried chicken. We could not stop eating the short rib tater tots! My only complaint is - and some won’t think this is a complaint - there isn’t much light fare. The food is not skimpy HH food. Very good value.
I’m not up on beers & ales. But they appear to have a good selection.
Rascal won’t win any awards. But this is definitely a good neighborhood spot.
@TheCookie Okay, those I would eat! It’s when they look confused when you ask where the oysters are from and you get an “Ummm… Mexico?” that I hesitate.
Gawd, I haven’t been up there in ages. This group is sending me all over the place. Just in the past week I was in both East Hollywood and Gardena. Now I must go to Newport Beach and Los Feliz. And find a sardine bahn mi somewhere.
Looking for japanese happy hour in torarnce/gardena/LB OR any happy hour near the forum (although I suppose the unicorn would be a japanese place with happy hour near the forum)
Forum area is a bit of a culinary dead zone. Good breakfast places and a couple of good taco places, but that’s about it.
If it were me, I’d hit the Baldwin Hills / Crenshaw Mall area (not too far from forum). Check out Post & Beam (Chef Govind Armstrong), Mexicano (mentioned frequently on FTC), Harold & Bell’s (old-school creole).
Do we report our happy hours here also? Because I went to MB Post, thinking they had a happy hour, which they don’t. But I sat at the bar and had scallops anyway, and I was pretty happy.
