Jonathan Gold eats at a Vietnamese izakaya in Little Tokyo

Hosted by

This week, our favorite food critic, Jonathan Gold, is eating at Simbal, a Vietnamese izakaya in Little Tokyo. He suggests you try the absinthe cocktail chased with a few jellybeans, the pomelo and shrimp salad, the raw prime hanger steak with sesame seed roti, the bone marrow and Chinese donuts. Wow. Better come hungry!
