Authority & awards
- A Malaysian restaurant from a rising-star chef opens in Historic Filipinotown ↗
Los Angeles Times
National authority“Multi-restaurant roundup piece (Rasarumah + American Beauty + The Win-Dow); Rasarumah's own section describes chef Johnny Lee's rendang made with 'Wagyu beef cheek' -- a grade/cut descriptor, no producer named. The 'dry-aged' sourcing hits on this page belong to American Beauty's separate section and were NOT attributed to Rasarumah.”

Press“Bib Gourmand | Historic Filipinotown After closing the doors to his cherished Cantonese spot, Pearl River Deli, chef Johnny Lee did what any reasonable person would do: he left the country and ate his way through Southeast Asia. Inspired by the bustling roadside hawker stalls he’d seen, Lee returned to L.A. to open Rasarumah, a swanky Malaysian restaurant in Historic Filipinotown serving fusion dishes like pork jowl satay (juicy, Hainanese-style meat skewers) and char kway teow, stir-fried noodles laden with Chinese sausage.”
