[Los Angeles] [Chinese] Feng Mao Mutton Kebab

Feng Mao Mutton Kebab
3901 W Olympic Blvd
Los Angeles, CA 90019
(323) 935-1099

One way to lure Wen to come all the way to LA from OC to hike is with the food afterward.  I asked Wen if she wanted Indian food or this.  After reading Exile Kiss's review, Wen eagerly said "I want that, I want that."



During the hike, we couldn't stop thinking about the feast we were going to have afterward.  Feng Mao Mutton Kebab is located in Korea town.  But it's actually a Chinese restaurant.




We got there around 2pm and the restaurant was quiet.  The waitstaffs speak both Mandarin and Korean.  The menu also has Chinese, Korean and English. 



We ordered $59.99 Combo B for 4 people.  It has 30 pieces of mutton kebab, 1 choice of hot dish and 1 choice of alcoholic beverage.


Banchan

3 kinds of banchan:  Kimchi, radish and garlic.  The kimchi was more of a Chinese style kimchi.  The garlic was marinated in vinegar and tasted really sour.


百歲酒 Bekseju ($9.99)

For drink, we picked Bekseju.  It's a ginseng rice wine.  It was sweet, with a hint of ginseng taste.  We all liked this wine.



Charcoal grill for the BBQ.  They had this two tiers thing sitting above the grill.  You cook the meat on the lower tier, then place the cooked meat on the top tier to keep warm.


羊肉串 Mutton Kebab (10 Pcs) ($12.99)

30 pieces of mutton kebab.  Well, actually they gave us 31.  Scored!  haha....  The mutton meat was marinated with their special spices.  I could taste chili, cumin, and sesame seeds. 



The waitress came over to show us how to cook the lamb.  Afterward, Wen's hubby was the chef of the day.  Each skewer of mutton only took about a minute to cook.  Wen's hubby did a really good job.  Everything was just cooked perfectly.



The mutton was DELICIOUS!  The meat was tender and we loved the seasoning.  If you still don't think it has enough seasoning, you have your own plate of seasoning powder to dip.  We asked the waitress if they made their own special seasoning mixture and if they sell it.  She told us it was imported from China directly.


Grilled Garlic & Shallot

There was a basket full of garlic and shallot on the table.  We grilled a few.  The grilled garlic and shallot went really well with the mutton.


溜肥腸 Pig Intestine with Sweet and Sour Sauce ($12.99)

For our choice of hot dish, since we all like intestine, and it is the most expensive item on the menu, naturally that was what we picked.  It wasn't really sauteed with sweet and sour sauce.  It was just some kind of yummy brown sauce.  It was pretty good.  We ordered a few bowls of rice and chowed down with grilled mutton kebab and intestine.


雞翅串 Chicken Wing (1 Pc) ($1.99)

After we finished everything, little Jonathan was still a little hungry.  So we got chicken wing.  The chicken wing wasn't seasoned at all, and you only get the middle section of the wing.  To charge $1.99 a piece for that, I thought it was overpriced.



Roll the cooked wing in the magic seasoning powder, the wing instantly transformed into super yummy wing.  I really want to know where I can buy the seasoning.  Maybe I'll try a Chinese supermarket.

The meal for 5 people was about $85.  The combo actually wasn't such a good deal.  I calculated the price of the food we ordered.  It came to about $62.  So we merely saved $2 by ordering the combo.  And we picked the most expensive drink and the most expensive hot dish on the menu.  If you don't pick the most expensive item, the combo might cause more than ordering individual dishes.  The mutton kebab was really really good.  I'd come back again for more mutton.
