The editors at Eater LA dine out several times a week, if not per day, which means we’re always encountering standout dishes that deserve time in the limelight. Here’s the very best of everything the team has eaten this week.

Potato Pavé at Open Market x Found Oyster in Koreatown

Rebecca Roland

I’ve already written about my love for the Open Market tuna sandwich, so I was pretty excited when the cafe announced it would be hosting more collaborative evening events. This past weekend, East Hollywood seafood restaurant Found Oyster traveled to Koreatown to sling seafood. Standing in line at 8 p.m. on a misty Friday night, groups could be seen crowded around small tables, splitting oyster platters and clinking glasses of wine. While the general seafood selection looked great, it was the potato pavé that caught my eye. With its top layer gently separated and curled into a crispy chip, the golden brown brick of potato sat in a shallow pool of beurre blanc dotted with bright orange roe. It hit all the salty, starchy, and creamy notes, and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since. 3339 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90010. — Rebecca Roland, associate editor

Fried green tomato tacos at My 2 Cents in Mid-Wilshire

Cathy Chaplin

It’s easy to be overwhelmed by the abundant choices available at the decade-old My Two Cents, the Southern-California-meets-Southern-comfort restaurant from chef Alisa Reynolds. On the menu are “House OGs” like shrimp and grits and a crispy turkey meatloaf burger, “small plates” of mac and cheese and soul spring rolls, and all-day specials including a club sandwich layered with catfish or chicken and a 10-ounce steak served with grits and greens. The final column on the stiffly laminated menu is dedicated to “Tacos Negros” — a distinctly Southern California mash-up of soul food and Mexican comfort. The tacos tucked with thin slices of fried cornmeal-battered green tomatoes and a bit of parsley cream proved to be the strongest dish of the night, and vegan and gluten-free to boot. 5583 W. Pico Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90019. — Cathy Chaplin, senior editor

Mazeh plate at Azizam in Silver Lake

Matthew Kang

If there’s a new restaurant that nails the vibe of Silver Lake, it’s Azizam, tucked away on a busy part of the greater SilverSun intersection that was previously Flore Vegan. With mostly semi-covered outdoor seating, the place beckons the hipster types who nosh on pretty dishes like this mazeh plate with toasted barbari bread, smashed olives, spinach-shallot-garlic-mint oil dip, herbs, cheese, walnuts, and cucumbers. The entire design is thoughtful and appealing, from the menu to the splashes of Persian artwork. The smashed olives boast sweet, fragrant notes from pomegranate molasses and mint oil, while walnuts add a hint of texture. Azizam, founded by Misha Sesar and Cody Ma, is the kind of restaurant Bill Addison is going to review within a few weeks. He already wrote a blurb on a newsletter but will surely give it the full write-up because the critic loves modern Persian/Lebanese/Levantine more than any other cuisine. So get to Azizam before Times readers descend, and the already tough street parking situation becomes impossible. 2943 W. Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA, 90026. — Matthew Kang, lead editor

Mandu guk soup at Sisters Dumpling in Koreatown

If you’re ever unsure of what to eat, just go to Koreatown and order the mandu guk any time of the day or year; the Korean dumpling soup somehow always hits the spot. There’s something about entering the dining room and seeing an expert dumpling maker preparing the half-moon-shaped pockets stuffed with meat and herbs that sets the scene. Served in a comforting broth with sides of kimchi and vegetables, the mandu guk satisfies on all occasions. The sujebi pulled dough soup and cold noodles are also outstanding. 1032 Crenshaw Boulevard, Unit B, Los Angeles, CA, 90019 — Mona Holmes, reporter
