Your Counter Intelligence Preview: In Which Mr. Gold Considers the Westfield Culver City Mall

In which Jonathan Gold heads to the mall, specifically the food court in the Westfield Culver City -- previously the Fox Hills mall -- and braves the traditional landscape of "Cinnabons and Chili's Toos and Wolfgang Puck Cafes." Is there hazard pay for restaurant critics?

It feels almost illegal, eating something as good as this Shandong-style roll (a Chinese pancake rolled around slivers of stewed beef and smeared with a sweet, house-made bean paste) within sight of a Panda Express, although it must be admitted: The (better but distant) Alhambra original is tucked into an old bowling alley.

Read the complete story in Gold's Counter Intelligence, "Supreme Court," and check out Anne Fishbein's photo gallery. Then maybe get in your car.

I was really bummed out by the 101 beef roll at the Westfield Culver City.  I give the mall points for diversity, but the quality of the beef roll was sub par.  I would hate to have someone's first experience with a beef roll here. 

Kyochon is OK and I would say it is probably the best location for Kyochon since I don't like the KTown shop as much as I used to.  They need to get rid of all the wraps, salads, etc. and focus on the wings. 

I wasn't brave enough to try the Vietnamese place.  But they do have a Hot Dog on a Stick! 

They really fixed up the old Fox Hills Mall.
