      Lapaba sounds like a word from the Minion language, but it's actually a portmanteau for La Pasta Bar. This upscale Koreatown restaurant is run by a husband-and-wife team who cooked previously at Osteria Mozza, with an assist from Nancy Silverton. Most of the pastas here have interesting Korean twists, like cacio e pepe made with tteok, bucatini tossed in a jjajang-style amatriciana, and corn cheese agnolotti.

      Sawtelle is adding another Japanese restaurant to its robust lineup and this one is deep-fried. Ten No Meshi is a katsu spot from Kyoto that just opened its first location outside of Japan yesterday. Their signature dish is A5 wagyu katsu served pink in the center and finished on a sizzling hot stone at your table. They're also doing pork katsu, scallop cutlets, and donburi bowls topped with fried eggs and salmon roe.

The menu features MeltBurgers made with Angus and Wagyu beef, crispy chicken sandwiches, and real ice cream shakes.

      Plans are on file for an eight-story, 281-unit residential building proposed at 155 West 6th Street and 625 South Beacon Street in San Pedro as part of the broader City Place redevelopment area. The project will feature studio, one-, and two-bedroom apartments arranged above a ground-level base containing parking and 1,276 square feet of commercial space. Internal courtyards bring light and air into the center of the building while reducing the perceived scale. The development is led by High Street Residential in partnership with Haseko North America, with Westport Construction as general contractor.

      Anduril Industries is establishing a second major Southern California campus spanning Long Beach and Lakewood to support growing demand from the U.S. military and allied partners. The 1.18 million square foot campus will feature six buildings combining 750,000 square feet of office space with 435,000 square feet of industrial R&D space, supporting approximately 5,500 direct jobs when it opens in mid-2027. Long Beach Mayor Rex Richardson called the investment "a major vote of confidence in Long Beach and California's leadership in advanced manufacturing and aerospace." The company's headquarters will remain in Costa Mesa, with the new campus located 30 minutes away for rapid design, testing, and iteration.
