"Yes, it’s true that Highly Likely makes a delicious fried chicken sandwich that’ll make you skip all the way back to your car. But their non-fried items are just as exciting, including a comforting shiitake-dashi porridge topped with a poached egg, or a little gem salad dressed with a lip-smacking tart yuzu vinaigrette. There are plenty of outlets to plug in your laptop, the coffee is great, and so is the natural wine. Regardless of who you bring and when, find an excuse to eat at this pleasant, open-air spot in West Adams. " - sylvio martins, brant cox
