Plan Check Kitchen + Bar Opens in West LA

Last week Plan Check Kitchen + Bar opened its doors in West LA. With modern design and architecture the restaurant makes a statement in the Little Osaka neighborhood, while the American comfort food and distinct bar selection give it a reason to “check” out. The chef is none other than, Ernesto Uchimura, who was corporate executive chef at Umami Burger and will be preparing dishes in the exhibition kitchen, where guests will be able to see the food come to life. With only enough space for about 110 guests, the atmosphere will be intimate and communal. Giving more than enough reason to check this place out is the drink menu that focuses on craft beers, signature cocktails and Japanese whiskey.

Can’t wait to check this place out soon. Photos courtesy of Plan Check Kitchen.

About Fatlace

Born in 1999, Fatlace initially started as a blog about the elements of hip-hop, with roots in music, break dancing, and graffiti. In addition to the hip-hop lifestyle we grew up on, cars is a collective interest among the Fatlace family and inevitably was incorporated into our web site. Fast forward and Fatlace has evolved to what you see now, still continuing to grow.

At first, Fatlace in San Francisco's historic Japantown seems like your typical shop with dope beats, comfy sneaks and kids up to no good, but stay a while and you'll discover there's more to us than what is on the surface. You'll soon find out the diverseness within our team and the details that set us apart from the usual street boutique. Be sure to also check out Illest, our Los Angeles shop and if you can't make it out to either, there's always our online store where we carry all of our latest products.
