"In Los Angeles’s peak smash burger era, it’s sometimes nice to veer away from trendy, razor-thin patties and dig into thick, dripping, two-hands-required specimens like the 10-ounce Amboy DH. The slightly smaller line of Slim Thicc burgers includes a one-third-pound patty, while the classic smashed double cheeseburger rivals anything in the region. Beef hot dog provides a nice change of pace. Former Petite Peso chef Ria Dolly Barbosa leads the kitchen, prepping bold specials like steak frites with a creamy Hennessy mushroom sauce, caviar, chives, and crispy french fries, along with a bone-in tomahawk steak with spicy smashed cucumbers and a Korean ssamjang demi-glace. Whether ordering a burger, chili cheese fries, an unexpected daily special, or a specific cut of meat to prepare at home, this Far East Plaza restaurant is the place to be. Bring a group to try everything that Barbosa and Amboy founder Alvin Cailan are cooking up. — Mona Holmes, reporter" - Eater Staff
