i find myself craving their mangonada at least once a week. the sorbet is so good and i love their chamoy. and i dream about their pepinos locos.

La Michoacana Snack Bar

okay, you've gotta go when Abu is working (usually during the day). this is the best shawarma i had in LA. boom boom is ok, dama is good, anything armenian is not real shawarma imo lol, and you're never gonna catch me in a 3-hour line for miya miya (...

Sincerely Syria Shawarma

no joke i think about this place at least twice a week. the serving you get, the taste and freshness of everything they made (all in house), the warmness of the staff. this was the best thing about living in san gabriel.

King Com Tam

my favorite northern chinese. they have amazing xiao long bao (better than din tai fung) and mapu tofu. the spicy beef soup is literally gold in a bowl when you're sick. i ordered from here alllll the time.

Northern Cafe

okay it doesn't have to be the one at the grove, but this is the only one i'd get pressed freezes from. otherwise i was ordering like a $100 of juice that would last us a week. everything tastes so fresh, i love the sweet greens, the immunity shots, ...

Pressed

i'm not a big celebrity restaurant/brand person and i'm not a fan of gwenyth but i fn LOVE goop kitchen. everything is so fresh and clean. it's all gluten free, no seed oils, nothing processed, and no refined sugars. my favorite was the italian chopp...

goop Kitchen

i never actually went here, just ordered an einspanner from them nearly every day at work. i was literally obsessed but then i woke up and realized it was actually ridiculous to be paying $15 to be having coffee delivered to me at work. i still think...

MEMORYLOOK Coffee & Tea

my first encounter with dutch crunch bread, its absoutely incredible every sandwich i had from here always looked so carefully put together and tasted AMAZING. the going home for thanksgiving (#19) and the we're just friends (#99) were memorable.

Ike's Love & Sandwiches

good lord, all the thai food is not even comparable to anywhere else in the US but pink pepper was the first place i tried khao soi. this dish literally changed my life and i can remember exactly where i was, what i was wearing, and what i was doing ...

Pink Pepper

i don't even care that this is almost right across the street from the 9th and flower ralphs, this is the best location i had in LA. the koobideh is so frickin juicy, the rice is fluffy and buttery, and somehow they make a great tiramisu. but no pers...

Panini Kabob Grill - Downtown LA

okay i'm pretty sure it's seasonal, but the oxtail pho from here sent me to frickin heaven. the best pho i've ever had i loved it so much. we have a lot of pho places here in cleveland, but nothing compares and i can't find oxtail.

Pho N Mor

i checked my ubereats and i ordered from here like 6 times in the month and a half i lived in san gabriel. everything is so good and fresh and fruity, amazing flavors and tons of options.

Yifang Taiwan Fruit Tea

sunright tea is another one i ordered from all the time. we'd get like 4 drinks and drink them all in one day. so frickin good.

Sunright Tea Studio

okay so they're known for their japanese souffle pancakes (which i thought were overhyped) but all of their drinks and desserts were amazing. nothing's too sweet. they also had these little cheese crackers and cookies they made in house that were so ...

Motto Tea Cafe

these have to be the best pan-fried buns in all of LA. i used to order their variety pack and a cucumber salad for lunch at work all the time. the flavors are so good, the inside is juicy, the top of the bun is soft, and the bottom is so crispy. they...

Little Pan USC

a staple when i lived in silver lake. i know its not the best ramen in LA, but i was obsessed with the garlic truffle ramen. the broth is so creamy and almost too rich but the noodles are always done perfectly. everything always traveled well for tak...

Silverlake Ramen

i need the white sauce to put on everything. this is like hangover food, or when you don't know what you're in the mood for but have to eat. it's not like the best, but it hits a spot i can't describe. i tried shah's halal food here in cleveland and ...

The Halal Guys

i used to drive by this all the time and finally decided to eat here once. holy frickin mole. its SO good. the restaurant is huge but really pretty inside and there's great service. the Nopal Zapoteco is divine. there is absolutely no mexican restaur...

Guelaguetza Restaurant

i used to walk up to this truck at the car wash on the corner of sunset and alvarado all every tuesday. if i was walking back at night from anywhere on sunset, i was stopping for tacos. they knew me here and i would defend them as better than any tac...

El Flamin Taco - Echo Park
