Before the Michelin guide publishes its annual compendium of the best restaurants in California, the World Gastronomic Authority induces some of the new and notable places in the region, inviting the intrigue, celebration and speculation about what these inclusion will mean once the complete guide is launched. On Wednesday morning, Michelin added 15 restaurants to his California guide.
Almost half of them can be found in Los Angeles.
Inclusion in the prestigious and sometimes controversy Guide Michelin is often observed as a quality and service reference point, with the main recognition of the long -standing company, stars, considered as some of the highest honors in the culinary industry. These 15 new inclusions could win stars, Bib Gourmand Awards (which denote “good food at a moderate price”), compliment of environmental mentality or are simply listed as recommended restaurants in the California 2025 guide, which will be launched at the end of this year.
“This is a great motivation for all the hard work that the team has been doing,” said Johnny Lee, a chef-companion in Rasarumah. The new Malasia restaurant in historical Filipinotown serves homemade sambals, Rendang Wagyu-Cheek, sauteed noodles and more, and is one of the members of the present in the Michelin guide in California.
Lee said he learned about the inclusion of his restaurant when someone labeled it on an early Instagram post this morning. Although he is not sure of what the wink means for his restaurant, Lee expects others to learn about the kitchen and all its complexities.
Rasarumah is one of the only 32 Malaysian restaurants represented in the Michelin guide worldwide, and one of the three in California, joining Ipoh Kopitiam in Alhambra and Azalina of San Francisco.
“I hope you mean that more people will analyze Malaysia food more closely, or perhaps those who are considering open restaurants will be more motivated to try something,” said Lee. “Malaysia's kitchen is very diverse. As a restaurant, we can only cover much of the amplitude of the culinary inheritance. ”
Etoile Bar in Melrose Hill also entered the Michelin guide. California-Ferench's new restaurant and wines bar comes from the team behind Wine Shop Domaine la and chef Travis Hayden, who serves gruyère cakes covered with chives dust and César -inspired steak tartar.

In the Westchester Harry Posner and Natalie Dial team they turn to Tomat from an informal coffee in the morning to a Californian Bistro with British influences at night. Both use the most local possible ingredients, sometimes even extracted from the restaurant garden. One could find sausage rolls with Ketchup of Damson Homemade Day and Kebabs de Costilla and sticky caramel pudding with ice cream from the burned milk house at night.
The background of chef Ki Kim in good food recently culminated in the debut of Restaurant Ki, another member of Michelin and a modern Kinn and Meteora veterinarian tasting menu. The new 10 -year seats of 10 years of Ki in Little Tokyo could involve cod gimbap, caviar with fermented rice cream and truffled knob noodles.

Seline de Dave Beran is a passion of years made for chef-propietary Dave Beran, whose French Bistro Pasjoli is also included in the California guide. Seline de Santa Monica directs the entire range with its tasting menu of $ 295 from 15 to 18 dishes, which is based on both the technical skill and the personal memories of the align student.
“This ambitious tasting menu dances between sweet and salty, and offers a drama,” Michelin Guide wrote about the experience.
Two La Sushi restaurants were added to the guide on Wednesday morning. In the city of Culver, Omakase Kusano, chef-propietary Yasu Kusano offers an intimate dinner centered on Nigiri for $ 150 on an eight-seat counter. “It is really a single -man show in this restaurant named for the chef that assumes everything from orders of cleaning and cleaning dishes to preparing and serving the food,” Michelin published.
Meanwhile, in Mori Nozomi of Sawelle, chef Nozomi Mori specializes in Edomae Sushi, also in an eight -seat counter. Mori and his totally feminine team offer an OMAKASE of 25 dishes to $ 250 per person, with Michelin pointing to his attention to the detail and the quality of the fish, as well as the five -plates tea pairing.
Beyond Los Angeles, no restaurants from southern California were added to the guide. Father North, new members include the Carmel-By The-Sea station, Sonoma's Clos, Oakland's Sun Moon Studio and the provisions of the culture of the Petaluma table. Like Los Angeles, San Francisco is home to several Michelin tickets: Four Kings, Prelude, The Wild and Verjus.
