The criteria for choosing the meal was not due to recommendation but the texture and 3D dimensions.
This dome-like dish is made up of shrimp omellete with gravy on pork. Inside is fried rice blanketed by the egg mixture. When it was served, the steam was rising out of the small pockets of the omellete.
The initial presentation was impressing, but once you dig into the dish the whole subject changes it's look, especially, how the light hits it. The small shadows inside make it unappealing to look at, considering there is only one main light source above.
No where close to 'killing it.' It's a pretty big size dish.
Where the magic happens.
I only had $12.00 in my pocket, enough to pay for the bill and tip.

Overall, a good place if you're looking for something different and ethnic. Open till 3a.m. famous with the LA clubbers seeking for late night munchies.
The dish, Tenshin Chahan Ankake, will probably be a one-time trial, considering they have a variety of selections. Since I'm not a food writer, I can only say it was pretty good.
