Eater LA: The Best Dishes Eater Editors Ate This Week

From Eater LA:
Crispy crab at Hansei pop-up in Little Tokyo
While I have eaten countless California rolls in my lifetime, none have taken me aback quite like chef Chris Ono’s rendition made with layers of Dungeness crab, Santa Barbara uni, avocado, and cucumber, served atop a crispy seaweed raft. The three-bite wonder combined wholly familiar flavors in a different format, bringing to focus the chef’s uniquely nikkei point of view and leaving diners wanting more. While it’s impossible to get your hands on this superb dish right now, consider this a sneak peek of what’s to come at Ono’s upcoming Hansei residency at the Japanese American Cultural & Community Center (JACCC) this August. 44 San Pedro Street, Los Angeles. —Cathy Chaplin
