"On December 6, the couple behind Met Her at a Bar, Met Him at a Bar, and Her Thai, debuted their fourth restaurant in Mid-Wilshire on La Brea Avenue and Eighth Street. The Night We Met co-owners Mindy and Vinny Kinne are a dominant presence in the neighborhood. Their new restaurant offers an Asian diasporic menu that spans multiple countries, featuring chicken satay, garlic noodles, crispy tuna rice, and Yangzhou fried rice in an opulent dining room."
"The two collaborated with Mindy (who is a former food scientist) to build a menu that's organized in three sections: cold, hot, and sweet. The Night We Met's dishes are shareable, including the cold section's salmon sashimi, soft shell crab with green apple salad, and crispy papaya salad. Kimchi fried rice, a whole deep-fried branzino with a basil chili sauce, and lemony herb chili Japanese scallops round out the hot mains."
