M Cafe La Brea Kitchen

M Café is a "sleeper" place to enjoy a healthful meal with soothing music to tame the inner savage beast. M Café has great lineage having La Petite Chaya & Chaya Brasserie as its forbears. This delightful eatery is in the same space as the late, great Zozo which featured cuisine by noted Chef, John Sedlar, placed within a gift shop specializing in patio furniture and other accoutrements. Go way to the back to the ordering window. Omakasè Bentō Fish: 1) Gomoku Rice: Nice, nutty, mildly starchy rice with soy sauce braised Hijiki, fine, small brown kelp leaves. This serves as a bland palate contrast to more strong flavoured foods. 2) Wasabi Sweet Potato & Pomegranate Salad: The extra starchy sweet potato, sweet-sour, juicy Pomegranate melds well with bitter radicchio, green mixed greens.

Absolutely love the atmosphere here! The amount and balance of food felt just right - I love that it wasn't too filling and delicious. It is tucked inside the well curated store full of beautiful goods and delightful jazz mixed music. Came here during dineLA around 12PM and got the Omokase Bento Fish. The salmon was cooked just perfectly and tasted delicious with the chimmichurri sauce. I was surprised by how Cacio e Pepe Kelp Noodles tasted, I was expecting it to be heavier but it was surprisingly lighter than I thought. I love the Wasabi Sweet Potato and Pomegranate Salad, this is something I would love to eat more of at home alongside the salmon. The staff there are so kind to check on me during my time there. Seating? Indoor & Outdoor available. Indoor there is a seating table that

I have been delightfully surprised by this cafe. It is delicious. There is an art even to the simplest things. So far I have had the albacore tuna sandwich which was the perfect amount of tuna, lettuce and tomato on the perfect multigrain bread toasted just right. The fries are some of the best fries I have had in a while. The other thing I've tried is the panko crusted rockfish sandwich. My god is this good. Again, from the bun, to the slaw, to the fried fish the proportions are perfect, making for a delightful experience. Their ingredients are fresh and they have taken the time to only use the healthiest of ingredients in their items and you can tell. M Cafe, I am sorry to hear that after 20 years you had to change your location, but with that said I am so happy to have stumbled upon you

Amazing bento box!!

Great and delicious healthy food! We absolutely love M Cafe
