@teaseats: ✨IS LA HOTSPOT RVR WORTH THE HYPE?✨ Even almost a year into its run, this west side California-inspired izakaya is still one of the hardest reservations to get in Los Angeles, and for good reason. RVR in Venice comes from acclaimed chef Travis Lett, who you might know as the opening chef of Gjelina or from his previous Venice hotspot MTN which closed during the pandemic. The menu here is long, but it’s packed with hits. Be sure at least one vegetable dish is on your table, along with several other small plates and skewers — I’d definitely recommend going with a larger group so you can both try more things and snag a coveted booth. Here’s everything I ordered (⭐️ = personal fave): 🥒 House Pickles $12 🥓 Crispy Pork Collar Tonkatsu $25 ⭐️ 🍣 Santa Barbara Uni Hand Roll $25 🐟 Tempura Channel Island Rock Cod Hand Roll $12 🥟 Pork Gyoza $16 ⭐️ 🍄‍🟫 Roasted Maitake Mushroom $18 ⭐️ 🍚 Mixed Rice with Duck Confit $20 🐑 Charcoal Grilled Lamb Shoulder $10 🦆 Charcoal Grilled Duck Meatball Tsukune $10 ⭐️ 🍜 Manila Clam Ramen $18 🍰 Warm Buckwheat Carrot Cake $16 ⭐️ 🍹 Eastside $18 🥂 Ume-Hi $16 Send this to someone you wanna go with, and follow me for more LA restaurant reviews, recommendations, and things to do! #losangeles #lafoodie #thingstodoinla #japanesefood #izakaya
