Consistently great local mainstays in the Twin Cities metro.
The Korean BBQ is a non negotiable; the Forager an equally delicious vegetarian option. Rotating salad/Burrata never fails to impress - the pea mint burrata was insanely amazing.
Pizzeria Lola
The in-house restaurant at United Noodles in Mpls has incredible, authentic Hawaiian Food - the best poke and spam musubis. Perfect mac salad. Amazing loco moco and melt on your mouth pulled pork. I could eat here literally everyday.
