Mangia Mangia

My qualifications: grew up in HB, have traveled the world and eaten at Michelin star places and holes in walls. I don’t discriminate. I am a delicious food connoisseur. You should try Da Hawaiian Kitchen on Adams and Brookhurst. Try their chilli peppa chicken, sub bacon fried rice. Shima is great…

Saigon District for really good Vietnamese food. Their pho is yummy and they make the best fried egg rolls ever. Super friendly owners: Angela and Sam. Angela makes all the pastries and I recommend the pumpkin delight. Normita’s Surf City Tacos. Al pastor burrito and fish tacos are my favorite. John’s Philly Grille. Mangia Mangia for Italian.

If you like Thai and sushi , MahKin is really good it’s downtown HB, I think it is WAY better than Sushi On Fire & more of a local vibe. North shore poke or Poki Nori for Poke and Bear Flag is great for fresh fish. If you want to venture to Newport there are lots and of places, but a classic is the Crab Cooker. If you want the best Italian, MangiMangi.

HB is the culinary equivalent of Disneyland. You will find the best of all these things in the surrounding cities, not in HB. That said, Mangia Mangia has great Italian, was founded by an Italian immigrant and has been there for decades
