Cassells Hamburgers
Los Angeles, CA
Cassell's has been grinding fresh beef daily since the 1940s. The patty melt on rye with grilled onions and American cheese is perfect. Old school counter vibes, no gimmicks.
Guerrilla Tacos
Los Angeles, CA
Guerrilla Tacos took street food and elevated it without losing the soul. The sweet potato taco is iconic for a reason.
Cacao Mexicatessen
Los Angeles, CA
Cacao does this Oaxacan-style burrito that blew my mind. Mole negro, properly braised meats. Not your typical burrito spot
Pizzeria Republica
Los Angeles, CA
Pizzeria Republica does a proper Neapolitan that actually has char without being burnt. The margherita is simple and perfect. Good cocktails too
Howlin' Ray's
Los Angeles, CA
Howlin' Ray's is worth every minute of that line. The sando at medium heat has this perfect crunch-to-juice ratio that haunts me
Van Leeuwen Ice Cream
Los Angeles, CA
Van Leeuwen honeycomb is perfect. Simple, clean flavors and they actually use good dairy. The vegan options are legit too
California Donuts
Los Angeles, CA
California Donuts in K-town is 24 hours and those ube donuts are addictive. The cronut is solid too
Tatsu Ramen
Los Angeles, CA
Tatsu is my neighborhood go-to. You customize everything on the iPad and the tonkotsu comes out perfect every time. Crank the spice level up past 5 if you dare
Din Tai Fung ้ผๆณฐ่ฑ
Los Angeles, CA
Din Tai Fung is the gold standard for soup dumplings in LA and it's not particularly close
Roots Indian Bistro
Los Angeles, CA
Roots in Silverlake. The butter chicken has real complexity, not just cream and sugar like most LA spots
Jitlada
Los Angeles, CA
Jitlada is a Thai Town institution. Their pad thai uses tamarind paste properly and the wok hei is real. Get the crying tiger too
