I guess I really gotta get to Perilla LA
Solid list overall, mostly the usual suspects subtracting some older and more prohibitive (pricier etc) big names like Providence

yeah the list is as expected. needle is a little bit of a surprise though
[edit: on further thought, no mariscos jalisco or mini-kabob is nuts. and putting a wine bar on is odd]

Anybody been to Holy Basil and/or Anajak Thai?
For Holy Basil, what makes it stand out over a place in Thai Town like Hollywood Thai or Ruen Pair.
Looks like standard Thai food with some fusion dishes…
Anybody comment on Anajak Thai as well?

The blame for most all of the Anajak (which I really like, to be fair) hyperbole falls squarely at the feet of Bill Addison and the LA Times. Let’s face it – he’s been grasping at straws trying to fill the impossibly large shoes of Jonathan Gold and hasn’t been able to come close. And instead of taking a page from Gold’s wonderful way with words, every year he and his peers anoint some new “best restaurant in LA” that catches everyone off guard. Holbox is really good, but is a head scratcher of similar proportions imo.

amazing that nearly the entire list is pretty casual.
I went to Needle last week and wasn’t impressed. But maybe I ordered the wrong thing. I’m willing to give it another try.

A list for people who have more money than taste.

i went to yangban a few months ago and i kind of hated it. it was really expensive, we were at a like “communal” table with other guests who were quite rowdy, and the congee was like $25 and truly the portion was maybe a cup? 4 spoon fulls for $25. i just got a bit of bad vibe. small portions, expensive, food was only fine.
