Categories:
Italian,

American (New)
Neighbourhood: Culver City
I am in love with Chef Bailly! I usually try to grab a seat inside where I can watch him do his magic, though in a non-stalker and non-gazing way.
For brunch, the awesome chef makes delightful dishes with his own twist. I did very much like the…More »

2. Santouka Ramen
This place is inside the mitsuwa marketplace. Parking is hard to find around lunch time, it's like a game of chicken with cars coming the opposite way to see who gets the parking spot opening up. Driving around and looking for a parking spot is…More »

If you haven't tried the jalapeño bacon cheddar flavor. You have not lived, my friend.
Sounds gross, doesn't it? If by gross, you mean insanely mind blowing and life altering, then yes.

4. The Curious Palate
The Curious Palate is absolutely adorable. The patio has wood furniture with a deliciously rustic feel, with a lot of sunlight giving the space a light and airy feel.
There is a display complete with desserts, chocolates, and other pastries and…More »

I really like Green Peas. It is one of those places that you can always count on to have that delicious salad, soup, or sandwich.
My favorite happens to be the vegan chicken curry sandwich. While I am a self proclaimed meatatarian, sometimes you…More »

Coffee & Tea,
Creperies

KC's is an adorable and quaint little crepe and boba cafe. It is quite small so you may have some trouble finding parking and/or seating. The counter is stocked with two adorable Japanese waitresses who take and make your order.
The crepe itself…More »
7. Bristol Farms
Westchester, CA 90045
(310) 410-0593
I'm love Bristol Farms. What I like most about it is the bakery, the cheeses, the soups, and the sushi bar / prepared salads & food area.
Granted, they don't have as extensive as a salad bar as Whole Foods, I like their Spicy tuna salads, Spicy tuna…More »
8. Marina Farms
Marina Farms is an excellent place to get some fruits.
It's a good neighborhood market, and their prices are comparable or mostly better than the chains like Ralphs, which charge too much for fruits in my opinion. They have a pretty good selection…More »

Restaurants,

Neighbourhood: Palms
Bartenders are fantastic.
The karaoke is fantastic.
The drinks are great and not too expensive.
They barely enforce the 2 drink minimum or $10 cover... But who's counting? Two beers. Come on, even I can do that. DRINK AND BE MERRY PEOPLE!
10. Lemonade
West Hollywood, CA 90048

Over priced? Or over delicious...
I am a fan of that watermelon radish, and that truffle pumpkin salad. And the lobster soba. And the lemonade. And the cous cous. And the quinoa. And the hot stew dishes. Like the beef one. So flavorful.

Very impressed with their service.
I ordered a couple sandwiches, salads, sodas online since I couldn't peel myself away from work. They delivered with the super quickness (they deliver till 12 midnight!!) Even though they screwed up one of the…More »

Category:
Farmers Market
Neighbourhood: Culver City
The inside of Sprouts looks like it is the bastard child of Trader Joes and Henry's.
The family who started Henry's sold it and have since then moved on to their latest farmer market chain: Sprouts. I used to frequent Henry's when I was living in…More »

I guess I haven't been to Pinkberry in too long. I know this might be strange since I used to post like every other day about a Yogurt place. It's been cold, ya know. But, dudddeeee, since when was it get as many toppings as you want at Pinkberry?…More »

Gloria's Cafe is a little family run restaurant on Venice. It is quaint and lines can get long at peak hours.
They are pretty mainstream now since most of the people venturing in have seen the 'diners, drive-ins and and dives" appearance Gloria's…More »

Category:
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Playa Del Rey
The sandwiches are legit. There isn't anything super crazy or special about them but, Cafe Milan makes a good standard sandwich.
It really has nothing to do with Milan, that I know of. Maybe it feels super chill? Good for late brunch days and…More »

LA Beer Fest at the Sony studios is probably one of the better "food events" for hoards of people that I've attended. And I've attended some pretty shitty events. Ones where you never really get in. And ones where they don't bother to look at our…More »

Spicy, hot, mess.
Good beer on tap. Delicious hot wings. Though I might add, wings really = drums. Yummy, yummy nachos (which are really fries) with a bunch of gunk on top. Bacon. Sour cream. Salsa. Cheese. More bacon. Definitely delicious.…More »
18. The Good Pizza
Los Angeles, CA 90045
(310) 215-1883
The Good Pizza is a random pizza joint that almost catches you by surprise. You're in the middle of suburbia and suddenly there's a random strip mall and across from it is a rather small neighborhood Vons. The pizzeria is a small shop with limited…More »
19. LaRocco's Pizzeria
A little bit of NY in LA. This is what we had:
.Garlic knots - 6 balls for $1.75 can't be beat. Some were a little hard but on the whole, I enjoyed the garlic/oil
.Puttanesca slice - artichoke, olives, mozzarella, basil, garlic. Yum.
.Spinaci e…More »
20. Honey's Kettle Fried Chicken
We had 4 people but we opted for the party pack anyway, while the family pack would have probably sufficed. It was something like 16 piece chicken, 4 or was it 8 biscuits (yea, same diff I know), mashed potatoes and gravy, coleslaw, fries,…More »

Came here for high tea.
The whole plate/pace was absolutely delicious. A lot of variety. Egg sandwich, peach mousse, fresh made jam, mini quiche, dainty cakes, breads and chocolates. The only adequate way to put it all is: galore!! I almost feel…More »
22. Ayara Thai
Ayara is a good place to get some Thai food. Their curries are legit, their noodles are legit, the service is legit.
In particular, I like the drunken noodles, like everyone else. I really have nothing to add. It's pretty good for the west side.…More »

I like Gjelina for a easy breezy weekend brunch. The atmosphere is just that of the Abbott Kinney neighborhood: artsy, designy looking people, pretty laid back.
In particular the blueberry pancakes are a must. The fried egg with arugula and…More »

Los Angeles, CA 90064
(310) 477-6075
korean all you can eat bbq on the westside. and the meat quality isn't too shabby but not as great as the ktown spots. for $16.99 you get a good amount of meat to pick from. sliced brisket, bulgogi, short rib, chicken, beef tongue, pork belly,…More »

Couple thoughts on lunch time:
Prices are not bad for such a nice place ranging $10-14 for set combos
Spicy ginger chicken tastes like mexican food
Galbi was well well well done almost bordering on jerky, but flavor was good
Panchan were delicious but…More »

Lukshon is another one of those hip joints, where the people are more interesting than the food. As their website seems to convey, they pay a lot of attention to detail. Everything, from the immaculate design to the modern open kitchen to the dish…More »

Culver City, CA 90230
(310) 390-6888
Category:
Hawaiian
Neighbourhood: Culver City
OH NOOOO~~~~~ This is what I usually think before I eat at Ono.
I mean, I like Ono. Specifically I like the hawaiian bbq chicken. It's probably the most bastardized Hawaiian chicken you could ever think of but it is salty, sweet, and the chicken…More »
28. Polentoni
Polentoni would probably be classified as a neighborhood joint. You can't expect it to be perfectly al dente or just right really.
The bruschetta is quite fresh. The risotto was a bit over done when I had it. The noodles are not cooked al dente…More »
29. The Counter
Marina del Rey, CA 90292
(310) 827-8600
Category:
Burgers
Neighbourhood: Marina Del Rey
Full. Full. Full.
That is how you will feel after eating at the Counter. Every burger order is made exactly the way you want it. Build-a-burger. Kind of like build-a-bear except you get to choose your own stuffing.
From lettuces to onions to…More »
30. Thai Talay
Westchester, CA 90045
(310) 670-3055
Category:
Thai
Neighbourhood: Westchester / LAX
Thai Talay is okay. I'm not really sure what possessed me to get the Hainam Chicken (at a Thai place) other than wanting something chicken-y and light, even though its usually boiled in a vat of chicken oil.
Regardless, the chicken was pretty tender…More »
31. Piknic
Playa Vista, CA 90094
(310) 496-3966
Category:
American (New)
Neighbourhood: Westchester / LAX
This is one of those places that I'll probably be back to though I'm not really sure why when there are plenty of other great places around, though probably mostly out of convenience.
Piknic is your pretty run of the mill sandwich and salad place.…More »

Categories:
Korean,
Coffee & Tea,

Neighbourhood: Playa Del Rey
This place is pretty good for the West side in terms of Korean food.
The teas are also not bad.
The bibimbap is pretty solid and crispy fresh. I think that is quite possibly the only thing I will ever get here because the rest of the menu with Thai…More »
33. Sanuki Sandou
No, I did not order the beef noodles soup with the extra small bowl of curry. I ordered the santouka shio ramen so I was too busy putting my face in it (that's what she said) I did, however, sneak in several tastes of the Sanuki Sandou.
The Sanuki…More »
34. Super Pho & Teriyaki
I like this place. Fast pho n teriyaki and buffet style bean sprouts/onions/limes for your pho.
I know what you're thinking. Pho AND Teriyaki? They can't possibly get any right. Well, I liked it. It's close to my place, it's fast, and the…More »

Not sure how you people finish the super deluxe burrito. Thing looks like a forearm of a very very large male. Think, monstrous. Monstrosity. Perhaps you have to be a monster. I'd probably have a hard time finish even the junior deluxe because…More »

I've had Tara's bookmarked for over 2 years. The plethora of reviews came back mostly positive from friends, acquaintances, and randoms.

C&O. Think Buca but not as commercialized.
Everything about this restaurant is large. Gargantuan portions on large plates, large parties, long tables, and large people. The garlic knots everyone raves about didn't really do it for me. If you…More »

Big fat hairy MEH
I've had better Kyochon. But Kyochon is generally a big fat MEH in my book. And this particular location is a massive, massive MEH.
Ghetto mall... ghetto mall... no thanks to your sub par chicken.
