Jonathan Gold is the Pulitzer Prize-winning food writer for the LA Weekly. This week he reviews Robata Jinya on Third St. and Crescent Heights in Los Angeles. Robata restaurants serve a very specific style of Japanese food, prepared on a charcoal grill. Oddly enough, one of Jonathan's favorite dishes is the tofu. He also likes the agedashi and the bagna cauda, which is like a cheese-fondue. They also serve ramen, which is the specialty of their sister restaurant in Studio City.
