Lanie Bites

Lanie Bites is an LA-based food creator with a clear passion for the sweeter side of dining — and for the distinctive Asian restaurant culture that makes Los Angeles one of the best cities in the world to eat in. With reviews spanning Culver City, Burbank, Glendale, Fullerton, La Mirada, Monterey Park, Pasadena, and West Hollywood, Lanie has built a focused, high-quality guide to some of LA's most beloved spots.

Her content leans into the dessert and café scene in a way few other creators do with such depth: frozen yogurt, ice cream shops, Taiwanese boba tea houses, Japanese bakeries, cookie shops, and Korean dessert cafés all appear throughout her reviews. But she's not only a sweet-focused creator — her picks also include excellent Japanese and sushi restaurants, Thai spots, and Korean dining across the San Gabriel Valley, one of the most extraordinary concentrations of Asian cuisine in America.

Lanie's strength is specificity. She covers the neighborhoods of the San Gabriel Valley and the Westside with genuine local knowledge, and her sweet-spot picks in particular are the kind of hyper-specific recommendations that are hard to find without knowing someone who lives there. Her Social Foodie profile is a perfect starting point for anyone exploring LA's dessert landscape and its remarkable Asian dining scene.
