Mh Zh - Contemporary Israeli in Silver Lake

Mh Zh
(Opened in 2017)

Pronounced “mah zeh”

which is loosely translated to 

“what is it?” in Hebrew.


This is a very casual place,
a contemporary Israeli restaurant,
most of the tables are outside 
on the sidewalk (a few inside).

Before Mh Zh opened in this space on Sunset Blvd., it was a tiny pizza place that I went to a couple of times.  I had a friend making pizzas and he said the vegan one wasn’t bad.  Guess it wasn’t good enough to stay open...



Their menu is on brown paper bags,
Love It!

I’ve been here twice and
haven’t had a bad dish.

If you go with a group and want everything,
“Fire Menu” for $125.


Bling Bling Hummus
with rustic bread.

Each time I go,
I get two orders...


Pickled Vegetables 


Tahini 


Frisée Salad with Duqqa 

and aged English Cheddar 



Grilled Beets
with Hazelnuts

This was one of my favorites


Roasted Potatoes 

Served on a brown paper bag.


Braised Red Cabbage
with watermelon radish.

Usually I don’t like red cabbage dishes,
but this was good.


Roasted Sweet Potato 

My mom would love this dish!


Branzino 

THIS is the reason why you 
come here!

I brought some friends just
for this dish, they loved it!


Ribeye

For a non-steakhouse,
this was really good.


They don’t have dessert,
but that’s OK,
cause the food is awesome!

Get there early as the tables
fill up fast, but well worth the wait IMO.

BTW, it’s BYOB.

I’ll probably be back with more friends!

Sticking to What You Do Best...

Last week, I was invited to celebrate National Hamburger Day at The Counter in Studio City. I had been to The Counter before, but today was special and met a fellow tweeter who was a first timer. The menu is easy to follow and you actually build your own burger, well at least on paper. First you select the protein, then the cheese, other various toppings, a side sauce, and last is the type of bun you want. If you’re having a hard time deciding, don’t worry, they have signature burgers and sandwiches to choose from. Too many choices make me crazy sometimes. I get so confused when I see other restaurants trying to be everything to everyone. The food at these restaurants are usually horrible and thus end up closing. Would you be surprised if the pizza at a seafood restaurant wasn’t good? Doesn’t make sense to me. Attention Restaurant Owners: Pick something and do it really really well. In-n-Out hasn’t added anything to their menu in years and they’re still in business and GROWING! Being i

Hidden Little Tokyo: Cheap Eats

Image
I usually take the Metro Gold Line to Downtown Los Angeles.  Traffic is usually bad and then I have no idea where to park.  Although some of my friends who know I'm downtown a lot, think I know where all the places to park, this is why I take the Metro.  As I was heading into town on this trip, overheard 2 guys talking about only having $5 and wanting to get something to eat. I know there are places in Little Tokyo where you can get something to eat in the $5 range, here's what I've found: See What Jay Eats... Half California Roll and Half Spicy Tuna Roll (includes miso soup) $3.95 Little Tokyo Sushi This is a grab and go kiosk inside the Little Tokyo Market Place.  They have a variety of sushi combinations ranging in price from a $2.50 hand roll to $12+.

Recipe: Ahi Masago Poke - May 2012

Image
Where do you get good poke in Southern California? If there is a place, I haven't found it yet. I'm really picky when it comes to poke, so I make my own. Having competed in the Sam Choy Poke Festival on the Big Island in 2003, I got to try all kinds and some with imitation crab and tofu. But, I prefer the simple kine, like in my Ahi Poke recipe. Ahi Masago Poke This is my version of Alicia's Market "Wasabi Ahi Masago Poke" Alicia's Market is my first stop in Honolulu after I leave the airport. First Stop Honolulu: Alicia's Market Yellowfin Tuna I start with 1.5 lbs of chopped sashimi grade tuna My Ingredients Low Salt Soy Sauce White Sesame Oil I start with 4 TBS of soy sauce and 2 TBS of white sesame oil. As you mix in, the tuna will absorb the liquid, you can add more in later. Add in a sweet white onion and green onions The secret is washing the onions with water a
