At breakfast I had the best congee I ever had in the United States at San Laurel. The ingredients were spectacular. Home made dried pork hash was made from jamon iberico and their XO sauce was also homemade by the chef. I shall order congee for breakfast every time I stay at Conrad Downtown LA.

Their menu changes completely every few months, but we've been going regularly for over 2 years, and have never had a bad meal. We've always had good service as well. Although not inexpensive, their meals offer a reasonable value compared to other restaurants within easy walking distance of the Chandler Pavilion/Music Center.
