    Jonathan Gold is the Pulitzer Prize-winning food writer for the LA Weekly. He joins us on Good Food every week with a restaurant suggestion. This week is he is taking us to Omar's Restaurant in San Gabriel, a Uighur halal restaurant. Jonathan likes the mutton kabobs, the meatloaf sandwich and the hand-pulled noodles. Also, they have great yogurt. The creamy milk tea, is more like a salty tea soup.

    Omar's Halal Restaurant

    1718 N New Ave
