BROKEN MOUTH | Lees Homestyle

Food was amazinggggg!! Went back and ordered extras because it was that good. Have strong regrets that we only tried this on our last day in LA but it was absolutely worth the 20 mins walk we took. Everything we ordered (even the 'basic' avocado toast) was so delicious! Tim is also one of the sweetest, most hospitable and humble person we have met in LA. The passion he exudes when sharing about his food (and love for his cat haha) is admirable and contagious. Personally bringing our food to us, explaining the menu and giving recommendations etc. We will definitely revisit this again when we are back in LA!

TRY THIS SPOT!!! The 5.Stars are all well deserved.....these plates are full of flavor and texture Had the: Beef Plate - amazingly tender and soaked in flavor Chicken Plate - killer breading and the sauce was awesome. Heated but not overly spicy and definitely didn't take away any flavor Shrimp Plate - breading is super light and tasty Braised Potatoes - omg....such savory flavor Pickled Carrots - kinda sweet and light and super palate refresher Cucumber Kimchi - fresh and crunchy and just enough spice to add a little texture but not spicy The Plates come with Purple Rice and Potato.Mac - both perfect Hawaiian sides. Rice is steamed with what looks like furikake sprinkled on top - soooo good. And the Potato.Mac has a great texture that doesn't get too creamy. The Chef/Owner was extremely nice to us and we talked about the menu for a minute and he seems like a genuinely nice person who sincerely cares about this food and his customers. There's passion in this food for sure.....and passion fruit in the drink fridge!

This place, and its owner, are AMAZING! We each got a spam musubi and split the beef lunch plate and, let me tell you, it all tasted so fresh and next level incredible. Flavors and textures off the charts. The owner is super kind and you can tell how much love goes into the dishes. Great portion sizes too for the value. Will definitely be back.

Wow! So many positive things to say about this place! Went here on lunch after reading up about the entire menu being gluten free (except the sandwich bread), and was blown away by the owner and the incredible food! He was excited to see me when I arrived, asked if I’d been there before, and when I told him it was my first time, he loaded me up with some extra things to try - thanks, now I will HAVE to come back many many times for these incredible flavors! ? Only thing I regret is not spending more time with him and being in such a hurry over illegally parking out front. If you haven’t been here, you need to race over and immerse in the spot on Hawaiian flavors typical of island culture. You will not regret it!

This place is a gem in Downtown LA! I had the Beef Lunch Plate with egg-battered rib eye beef, purple rice, and salad. Pair it with the Passion Orange Aloha Maid and you're good to go. The location is in a dining hall next to other restaurants now but is just as delicious. The owner/restaurant manager was very helpful and courteous. Pay them a visit today. You'll be glad you did!

Wow! This place is great. So this was the place voted #1 the country and it absolutely delivered. Talented young chef, go check it out. We had the chicken and shrimp bowls and they were both incredible.

So bomb! Everything is made fresh and seasoned to perfection. I’ve had the chicken and beef. Excited to try the shrimp next. Also, that cucumber ? kimchi is fire ? I also really love the spam musubi ? which I took home and plated with Lee’s special hot sauce.
