Destroyer - Culver City, California

I love the food here—it’s easily one of the best breakfast/brunch spots in West LA. The dishes are innovative, different, and genuinely delicious, especially compared to the typical American breakfast options.

That said, it’s pricey. Breakfast for two, with soft drinks and a shared dessert, came out to $100. Portions have also gotten smaller, and my go-to dish is now missing a few elements that you have to pay extra for.

Still, the quality is there, and I keep coming back—but I do wish the portions and pricing felt a bit more balanced.

The place is very expensive, it’s somewhere you don’t go to often. The place was good and the food as you can see from my rating that it is high. We had the French toast, chicken breast with had chill oil and salad and drinks. With all that being $70+ not including tips.
The French toast tho was a bit dry but the sauce covered up for how dry it was, it tasted like toasted bread rather than French toast.
We had One Japanese ice coffee was mid wasn’t the best and one match which was mid as well not that great tbh. It’s funny it’s a cafe but their drinks are not the best but their food was chef kiss. I guess it’s because the owner is a chef and he specializes in food delicacy. Over all it was okay. The chairs were wet from the rain so, we had to wipe it ourselves. It was an open concept seating outside and the cafe inside is minimalist which is new and nice . Overall would give my experience a 3.5/5 because of the food. It was so good as you can see from the picture we cleared the plate and we were hungry.

If brunch were an art gallery, Destroyer would be the Louvre. Nestled in the funky Hayden Tract district, this place is where your taste buds go to get cultured. Minimalist vibes? Check. Michelin guide cred? Double check. Food that looks like it belongs in a modern art museum? Oh, absolutely.

The Sweet Corn Porridge is like a culinary plot twist—Asian meets Western in a flavor fusion that’s as unique as it is delicious. You won’t find anything like it anywhere else, and honestly, I’m not sure the world is ready for this level of brilliance.

Weiser Farms Cube Melon. It’s like dessert decided to get all dressed up and classy. The presentation is so on point you’ll hesitate to eat it, but trust me, it’s the perfect sweet finale.

This place is so yummy and the employees were extremely friendly!! I had never gone here before and I came here with my friend and got stuff to share. We asked the host to give us some recommendations.

Firstly, I got the Ube Lavender matcha and it was heavenly.
To share, we got the sweet potato waffle, caramelized chickpeas and the porridge bowl. I would definitely recommend the sweet potato waffle and the chickpeas, they were so good. The flavors on both were to die for🔥 They were both so healthy and you could tell the ingredients were fresh. However, the porridge bowl was not great, but we told the server and they got us the loaded avocado bowl! It was magnificent.

After this feel I feel like my gut microbiome has been restored! I would definitely recommend this place as a cute little brunch spot to go with friends or a significant other !!

If you want to get a taste of the other-worldly food that springs from the mind of chef Jordan Kahn, this is the way to do it on a budget. But also breakfast. Menu always changes and the cue builds swiftly but the food is always always excellent, as is the staff. Seating can be challenging but a table usually opens up right as you pay and start looking around. Don’t be a dick and claim a table before you order, it disrupts the natural flow and also you’re being a dick.

The place is stunning, located right in the heart of Culver City, with a beautiful presentation of both the food and the space. However, the taste didn’t quite live up to the visuals, especially the fish bowl, which had a strong smell. After eating, I didn’t feel great, which was disappointing.

Did not live up to the hype. Somewhere along the way I think that they lost sight of the wholesomeness of brunch foods.

The best item was the brisket Tartine - really flavorful and the combination of tomatoes and brisket with savory sauces made every bite a delight.

The avocado confit was odd. It’s basically half an avocado served with toast. Although there are some other ingredients, it really just tastes like a plain avocado and was not special at all.

The sweet potato waffle was oversauced and lost all texture. It was hard to even tell there was a waffle under there. A much simpler version of the dish would have been vastly superior.

I really can say it’s the best brunch I’ve ever had. Especially /porridge/ is surprisingly tasty. The ingredients of /loaded avocado/ are very posh as well. Highly recommended, will come again for sure. 👍
