items Don’t get me wrong, just cause I can eat just about anything doesn’t mean I think it all tastes good. I’m the Simon Cowell of food— I’m not fond of cooking, but I know quality when I taste it.

For years I’d drive from East LA all the way to Irori Suhi so I could meet up with my friends here. It’s very different from many restaurants in LA— you take your shoes off prior to dining, and you sit on the floor. It’s a cozy spot and the sushi is ...
Irori Sushi
Brother Cousins Tacos are cooked up in pop up tents on the side of the street, and they’re some of the best tacos I’ve had! They have two locations on the west side. Be sure to check their IG for their dates and hours they’re available
Brothers Cousins Tacos (@brotherscousinstacos)
Located inside Mitsuwa Marketplace, Tokyo Shokudo is fail proof when it comes to their beef curry. Honestly, I’m always down to try something new, but when it comes to Tokyo Shokudo, I’m a creature of habit and will only ever eat there in the marketp...
Tokyo Shokudo
Everything closes so early on the west side, Daikokuya is one of the few places on Sawtelle that are open late. I’m talking 2am late. They have another location in Little Tokyo as well! The space is small but cozy and their ramen is always such a com...
Daikokuya - Sawtelle
If you’re new to LA, you’ll start to notice that all the really good food tends to be in a strip mall or an unassuming small plaza. This Vietnamese restaurant is in one of them.
Pho Fever Bistro
They have 3 locations in LA! Thick handmade noodles, delicious soup.
Marugame Udon
If I may be so bold, I love tsukamen more than I do Ramen. Truth be told, I am more of a noodle girl than a soup girl. Love being able to dip my noodles into the thick, rich broth. The wait is long for peak hours so just keep note of that!
Tsujita
Quality sushi. You can also watch the chefs prepare your food.
Sushi Enya Sawtelle
KTown
One of my favorite AYCE Kbbq spots. Casual, lowkey, doesn’t get as crowded as other places. And it has a parking lot. I’ve had every tier of the AYCE menu and it’s all good
Seoul Soul BBQ
My friends and I have eaten here together more than any restaurant. It’s in Cape Town so it’s central to everybody, there’s a parking lot and it’s free, even though there’s always a waiting time, service is fast. Food is absolutely delicious, I alway...
BCD Tofu House
Korean Comfort food. These portions are big and definitely can be shared. There can be a waiting period, this is so good. It’s well worth it.
Hangari Kalguksu
Traditional Korean cold noodles called naengmyeon. They have self serve hot broth to go along with it. It’s refreshing and delicious.
YUCHUN - (naengmyeon)
I crave this. I rarely get food delivered but this I will pay for. Get the original YukGaejang with fresh pasta.
YUK DAE JANG
East Hollywood/Silverlake/Los Feliz
My go-to Thai spot in east Hollywood. It’s my family’s favorite.
Watdongmoonlek Noodle
Saffy’s has created such a beautiful environment for this neighborhood. It’s Mediterranean food and it’s absolutely delicious. They have a café next-door that is open during the mornings for breakfast as well.
Saffy's
Amazing Taiwanese food. There’s two locations one in Silverlake and one in downtown LA.
Pine & Crane
Alhambra/Rosemead
Every time I go there’s a wait, but it’s well worth it
Mama Lu's Dumpling House
Can’t stress enough how good this place is. I especially go for their beef rolls.
101 Noodle Express
EVERYTHING HERE IS GOOD. It’s in a plaza so there’s lots of free parking
MR DRAGON NOODLE HOUSE
DTLA
I’m a bit hard to impress when it comes to eating out, especially at nice restaurants. Redbird did it for me, in both presentation and taste.
Redbird Los Angeles
I grew up going to Chinatown so often. Chinese food has a special place in my heart.
Yang Chow
South LA
The revuelta pupusas and the ensalada drink are my go to. I eat 2 pupusas and that’s more than enough for me. I’m stuffed just thinking about it.
PASEO SAN MIGUEL Salvadoran food
Hollywood
Great Vietnamese food in the heart of Hollywood. There’s a bit of parking in the back as well as meters on the street.
The Sisters Cafe Vietnamese & Asian Fusion (PHO)
Downey
This place might be a bit of a drive because it’s in Downey, but hey, it’s still in LA! Delicious Mexican seafood, amazing ambience, and there’s a parking lot!
