Now youre talkin’!!! that I can get into!!!

Fried hainan chicken today was delicious, but turns out I’m more of a classic guy. Didn’t want to be gluttonous today, but that was a mistake. I should have doubled up with an order of char sui.

Is it batter fried?

I believe some sort of cornstarch batter if I had to guess.

I’m excited that my holiday visit to LA this year coincides with prd being opened. Really bummed last year that my trip dates were exactly the dates the restaurant was on its winter break. As I was checking dates just now, I was surprised prd is basically only open for weekend lunch. I was hoping to have dinner before hopping on the flyaway bus to LAX.

Is prd a shared space? Open on the other days or in the evenings for another venture?

It is not a shared space but JLee does host popups there like a ramen pop up last Sunday night.

He also does buy outs / private dinners in the evenings

currently PRD is just serving lunch, this week they’re only open Fri and Sat, Sun they’re closed. Menu is really small since he is the only one making the food, Hainan Chicken, Fried Hainan chicken, Char siu and a really good Chinese no-chicken salad.
Check their IG for other updates. (they usually post specials on their stories, if there’s something new) Try to go early since they usually sell out

Damn.

Someone give this man a lot of money to cook the food he wants to cook!

Hell, I was hoping we could do an FTC buyout with him after the Sei dinner.

This is so sad :frowning: one big reason I moved to the neighborhood was because of that bolo pork chop bun sandwich. Between this and Angry Egret’s closure, that pocket is just not the same :confused:
