Time Out says

This fast-casual storefront in East Hollywood hawks rice bowls and family-style trays that add a chef’s twist to Filipino classics. Though parking in the area remains a huge hassle and weekend lines can get long, James Beard Award-winning chef Lord Maynard Llera’s mouth-watering lucenachon, buttery hiramasa collar and garlicky prawns will leave pork and seafood lovers on cloud nine. Whether you’re ordering off the ever-changing specials menu or sticking to the signature trays (which easily feeds two), Bestia’s former sous chef knocks it out of the park with gourmet flourishes like housemade pickled veggie and flavorful palm vinegar aged by Llera himself. Though prices run somewhat high for a fast-casual meal, the quality and flavor of every dish makes sure a trip to Kuya Lord is worth every penny. For slightly easier parking, head here on weekdays right at 7pm (Kuya Lord closes at 9pm), when the rush hour no-stopping signs no longer apply on this stretch of Melrose Avenue.
