Destroyer is heaven for the Scandinavia obsessed. All dishes are brilliantly creative, tasty, and served on beautiful ceramics. Breakfast standouts: organic hen egg , banana coffee cake muffin .

Steven Androphy

Huge fan of this place -- the avocado + burnt onion is delicious and the brown butter banana muffin is one of the best muffins I've ever had. Awesome breakfast spot in Culver City!

Kartik Sathappan

I had the raw oatmeal for $7 and it was unbelievable. Subtle and delicious. You’re getting small plates at a reasonable price from a chef that charges hundreds per person elsewhere - enjoy.

AmateurConcierge

Not an Angelino, but this felt like a bit of the Spirl vibe, no? Awesome, healthy, well rounded bougie breakfast dishes . Clearly a very talented chef . Interesting lil pocket of the hood as well

Connie Chiu

Best way to describe this place is like eating in an minimalist art museum . The plating and bowls are gorgeous as is the space. Love the chicken confit but not the beef tartare as much.

LAist

The space's austere decor is balanced by the high art presentation of each dish. Does Destroyer serve avocado toast ? Well , how about avocado confit on toasted country bread ? Read more

Mike Johnson

Chicken confit and a blood orange tonic made for a heavenly lunch . This place is amazing.

Michael Sherwood

Delicious, creative, healthy food at a surprisingly affordable price . Each plate is about meal sized, but often best shared. Bring a friend and split two dishes!

Gregory Fisher

Everything! The dressing in the young lettuce is amazing and the chicken confit is super tasty (and filling)

Josef Szotten

I loved the beets and the spiced bread . The rice porridge was also pretty cool but perhaps and acquired taste ????

Adele Gorham

This is the definite must try if you like Korean bbq . Their food is always been great and truly delicious their rapports and patron will leave much to be desired.

Judith Cheun

I love everything about this place. Aesthetics, the amazing food, and simple it is.

Tarah Feinberg

Super delicious, fresh, healthy food . Hot and cold bowls full of luscious greens, grains and meats/mushrooms. Nice outdoor seating too.

Jeremy Fisher

Beautiful space, and delicious, inventive food. Beef tartare and sunchoke soup . Eat outside here on a nice day.

Ari Greenberg

Delicious Nordic style food and coffee with beautiful presentation.

Aline Velter

Delicious and beautiful plates/bowls. Every ingredient tastes perfection.

Tiffany Ho

Beautifully plated food with an enticing fusion of ingredients. Everything was delicious.

Josh Y

Although the service definitely needs more work, the food is really good. Especially the French toast and potato waffle .

Nick Stanzione

Creative and conversation starting presentations without the associated prices. Complex but minimalist. Well done.

Odile Roujol

Beets and mushrooms Salads and drink with Burberries

Jules

It's so simple and yet so good !

Toasts with fancy things on beautiful plates? I'm sold.

The cauliflower was amazing !

Whit Maull

The turmeric ginger latte might be the best thing I’ve ever tasted.

Alison Byrne Fields

The avocado confit is amazing, as is their rye bread .

Jenna T

The food was great & innovative. The servers look like lost lambs delivering food to the wrong table, or in our case not at all. They need a new system.

Edd Hannay

Delicious chicken and grits ????

shinnygogo

Cauliflower and blood orange tonic

Sneha Shah

Vegetable hash , cinnamon almond bun , cashew nut butter

Tim Bradshaw

The rice porridge doesn’t sound like much but it’s delicious

Eater

Kahn's food is cerebral, beautifully plated, and delicious, though perhaps more expensive than your every day breakfast and lunch spot . The coffee is excellent too. Read more

Azad Amir-Ghassemi

Beautiful, yes. But not half as interesting as the hype would have you expect. Bring quarters for parking meters.

marco diaz

This place will destroy your wallet, but the food is ok. It will however take a long time but will be beautifully plated.
