Lunch in a Greenhouse

The Commissary 
3515 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90010

I first heard about this place from my chef son, Nikko.  He knew I would like it.  Of course, I couldn't pass up another gastronomic adventure to Koreatown. It was the perfect opportunity to go since I was off for a couple of weeks for the winter break.  

Although I don't mind driving to DTLA, I also don't mind taking the metro.  I knew it would save time plus visit more places in one day.  Yes, started our adventure on the Green Line, then the Blue Line, and hopped on the Purple Line to Koreatown.  I was already familiar with the area so I knew exactly where to get off (Normandie & Wilshire).  The restaurant was just a few yards from the metro station so it was perfect!  

The Commissary located inside the Line Hotel  is one of the newest restaurant owned by Chef Roy Choi.  Loved the ambience of the restaurant -- It was nice and cozy.   Just imagine a greenhouse filled with lots of greenery.  It was definitely different!  You had a choice to sit in their communal tables if you don't mind sharing your space with others.  I loved the place setting too -- nothing matched.  

The food was okay -- nothing spectacular,  or maybe just what I ordered.  My friend and I were on a food adventure so we didn't want to fill up.  Would I return?  Absolutely!  I like the place and this time I will try the other dishes.
