My 2 Cents La - Los Angeles

Chef Alisa Reynolds has truly created a gem with this restaurant! My shrimp and grits were absolutely fantastic, and the cornbread was the perfect balance of sweet and salty, with what I think was a hint of honey. It was incredibly delicious! The staff were very friendly, and my food arrived quickly and piping hot. The atmosphere is casual and relaxed, set in a space that authentically celebrates Black history, making everyone feel welcome.

My Husband and I came to visit from Columbia, South Carolina and this by far is the best soul food with a twist and exceptional customer service we’ve had in our lives. Ms. Reynolds made us feel so at home as if we were sitting at our dining room table for family dinner. Being vegan virgins Ms. Reynolds already has us changing how we want to eat. What comes out of her vegan soul kitchen is phenomenal. AND don’t get me started on her cakes My Gawd!!! This is a MUST EAT when your in LA or just visiting!!! Thanks Alisa for the convo and making us feel at home.

Definitely need more 's for this review. I love great service, great food and a great atmosphere but it 's rare to find them all in one place these days. However, My 2 cents did not disappoint. I had the shrimp grits meal. The shrimp was amazing and the grits were delicious but together they were extraordinary! The sauce was a broth based sauce that was amazing and every bite was juicy and full of flavor. The veggie appetizers were delicious and amazing as well. I 'd recommend this place for a quiet night out or for a group dinner. Definitely gets 5 STARS from me. Enjoy!

Great food, great atmosphere, and overall a good experience. I got the plantain tacos. My friend got the catfish tacos. Overall, 10 out of 10 on the food and service. I love that how when people walk through the door, the staff behind the counter yelled out welcome. The strawberry cake.. Hella good. Definitely you want to buy this.

I found My Two Cents while searching for a brunch spot in LA and I am so glad I visited, especially since I supported a black owned restaurant! I was eyeing the catfish but they were all sold out. Unfortunately for me (since I am a pescatarian) there weren't many options on the brunch menu but I decided on ordering the waffle with sweet potato hash. My bf ordered the chicken w/ grits with a side of eggs. The eggs were perfectly seasoned and both of our plates were plated beautifully. ORDER the sweet potato hash, it was GREAT! The honey biscuits that came with our order were good too. There are a couple of seats inside and outside. Service is quick and staff is friendly. Would definitely come back here when visiting LA again!
