Loupiotte Kitchen Los Feliz Los Angeles

Loupiotte Kitchen

Loupiotte Kitchen is a French all-day bistro in the heart of Los Feliz, serving vegetable-driven dishes inspired by the Farmers’ Market. Co-owners Sarah Bessade and Antoine Blandin’s ethos is to respect the environment by using as much organic, local and...
Marugame Udon Sawtelle Los Angeles

Marugame Udon

Marugame Udon feels like taking a trip to Japan for less than ten dollars. The cooks salute you in Japanese when you enter the door, the decoration is minimalistic, and so is the cafeteria-style service. Don’t be put off by...

Joy

Sophomore restaurants often have a tendency to fall a little flat but thankfully that’s not the case with Joy, the sister restaurant to Vivian Kuo’s immensely popular Pine & Crane. Joy offers many of the popular Taiwanese staples found at...
Tsujita Sawtelle Los Angeles

Tsujita

It’s not often that it rains in Los Angeles but when it does just about everyone loses their minds. Just try taking a drive on the 405 and you’ll witness true pandemonium. Rather than braving the forces of nature and...
Highly Likely West Adams Los Angeles

Highly Likely

Superfine Downtown Los Angeles

Superfine

If Rossoblu makes some of the best tortellini in town, its adjacent sister restaurant Superfine makes the finest pizza. It’s not just fine, it’s great, and the crust, is well, super thin (duh). Former Sotto chef Steve Samson makes by-the-slice...
Nightshade Downtown Los Angeles

Nightshade

While we can all agree that 2018 was a pretty terrible year, the future is starting to look just a little bit brighter now that Mei Lin, the much heralded winner of Top Chef season 12, has turned on the...
Kobawoo House Koreatown Los Angeles

Kobawoo House

Since 1985, Kobawoo House has been a Koreatown classic, with all chefs in town (along with our dear Jonathan Gold) raving about its bossam. Be prepared to wait, similarly to Sushi Gen, on this strip mall across a gas station....
DeSano Pizza East Hollywood Los Angeles

DeSano

Some would argue that DeSano is to pizza what In-N-Out is to burgers: unpretentious, old-school, affordable, and freaking amazing. To say that DeSano is the best pizza in Los Angeles would be a stretch but it’s definitely up there. There...
