"Honey Hi does a delightful brunch if you have $70 to spare for two people. Definite sticker shock here, even for a freshly gentrified Echo Park, but I have to admit that everything was pretty pitch perfect. There 's a certain flavor/feeling when eating very local, or at least ingredients that have been off the vine/bush/free very shortly prior to being put on your plate, and Honey Hi has this flavor/feeling down. My mom 's breakfast bowl came with a salad that was full of herby, spicy, all-different-tasting greens, and while the hash wasn 't exactly crispy, it didn 't end up mattering because the flavor combination was so spot on with the bright greens and the savory hash and the smattering of hearty bacon. And my beans 'n ' greens could have easily just been a brothy bowl of beans at a lesser restaurant, but instead, the cilantro oil and pistachio hovered in the background while the garlicky kale shot into the foreground. And the beans could never have been mistaken for having come from a can.The smoothies (it should be reiterated, at $15, the same price as my beans), are also great. My Pondicherry Lassi tasted like a pumpkin pie crossed with a very strong herbal tea crossed with a vegetably lassi. It was pleasant to chew the coconut meat chunks at the end. My mom 's Tangerine Julius smelled like a grove of citrus and thankfully lacked the cloyingness of a standard Orange Julius."
