I'm watching Reservation Dogs, and got curious about the local Native American cuisine. I did some research online and couldn't find any native-owned restaurants, food trucks, etc.

I really wanna try Indian tacos, fry bread, etc. I saw Cal State Long Beach does an annual pow wow, but missed it this year.

Thank you!

I'm new to the business, and this will be my inaugural client. She's requesting dinner preparation for her and her spouse 3-4 evenings a week, with meals delivered hot to her place. She's specific about not wanting reheated or meal prep-style foods. What parameters should I consider for creating an agreement, and what's a suitable weekly charge? Thanks in advance for your advice!

Hello! I am traveling to LA for a quick trip next month. I've never been to LA, and I don't know much about the different neighborhoods. I'm staying in West Hollywood, and won't have a lot of time to venture out of that area, but possible that I could explore for an hour or two at some point.

I'm wondering about good places for someone dining solo, mainly places where I can sit at the bar and have an excellent meal. Nothing extremely formal or fancy. Especially love Thai, Mexican, and Italian. Thanks for any tips you can send my way!

Hi all,

I’m graduating college next Friday and am looking for restaurant suggestions. Ideally, I’d like to find something that isn’t too expensive as there will be 8 people. I’m open to any cuisine that’s on the west side or the valley!

Thank you in advance for your suggestions!

I only know one place that makes Cinnamon Raisin bread, which is Jyan Isaac bread in Santa Monica.

But anyone else make it? Or is it just not very in demand, therefore no supply?

Also, anyone have a rec for a pain aux raisin?

thank you <3

Any suggestions for good food in the area after the show? Should be out around 8:30-ish. Any kind of food is good! Thanks!

I hope everyone is having a great weekend. Please tell us what you ate recently and what you loved. Feel free to add pics.

Sugarfish delivery. It was surprisingly fresh and tasty and well packaged. We ordered a few rolls to share, including the blue crab and the tuna. Additionally, we had nigiri including the scallops, tuna, salmon, and yellowtail. It’s not the best, but it’s good for what it is and at a decent price point.

Took a friend from out of town to have breakfast at Millies in Silverlake. We used to live down the block a long time ago and would go all of the time. The menu used to be one single page and now it’s like a libretto. Ordered a scramble; pancakes to share, corned beef hash. Solid tasty diner food with fast efficient service. I won’t go during the weekends due to the lines, but occasionally I’ll revisit this place.

Drinks at Dama with bar snacks. Fun atmosphere.

Looking for dinner recommendations in the Culver City area (and even towards Mid City/MidWilshire) for restaurants with vegan options.

Preferably not a full vegan menu, just something with more vegan options than 1 salad or 1 avocado toast. I eat meat and dairy, my bestie does not! We’re both open to any type of cuisine.

Does anyone know of a Russian/Eastern European/international grocery store that sells frozen pelmini in, preferably, the South Bay but reallly anywhere in LA?

Anything out there in the vein of Manuela or Republique in these areas? Beautiful ambience and food, maybe a little trendy in terms of the scene?

I used to frequent Ocean Seafood's push cart dim sum in Chinatown every Sunday, but from my understanding, they didn't survive the pandemic. Also, RIP Baohaus!

I've been trying to find something with a similar vibe and with the same amount (or more) of veggie dumpling options they used to have within LA proper, to no avail. Anyone have any recs? 🥟

My wife and I LOVE Don Antonio’s in West LA. The food, the atmosphere, etc. The issue is we live in DTLA and sometimes have a hard time getting over there.

Is there anything around DTLA that compares? A place that’s homey maybe with booths?

I'm on the hunt for the best gooey and soft cinnamon rolls in LA with cream cheese frosting (not the croissant-like or donut-like ones), preferably the west side.

One that I've liked so far is the skillet cinnamon roll from Milo and Olive in Santa Monica.

Any recommendations?

Greetings!

Me and my wife just got married here in SF, and we are heading down to L.A/Hollywood/Beverly Hills Area this week for our little honeymoon vacation. We both love a good place to get omakase and was wondering if you guys could help out these newlyweds!

for reference; there's not really a lot of omakase here in the bay area but here are a couple that we typically go to; OMAKASE SF, HINATA, TANCHO JAPANESE RESTAURANT.

I mentioned these references to give you guys an idea of the type of omakase that we are looking for; mainly traditional (none of that modern omakase crap with gold flakes or caviar) and a nice secluded type of ambiance; typically 6-8 people. $120-$190 range per person would be ideal.

I know there has been multiple posts regarding omakase suggestions here in this sub reddit, and I've read them all (trust me), but I narrowed it down to these 4 spots that I think are good. Also not trying to go further away from these areas;

West L.A
1.) Masazaku - $150 - 12 course omakase

Beverly Hills
2.) Yasu Beverly Hills - $195 + 18% omakase fee - 17 course omakase
3.) Sushi Tama - $180 - ?? course omakase

Downtown L.A
4.) Sushi Takeda - $160 - 13 course omakase

Please share your thoughts or experiences! Any recommendation is appreciated!

Hi everyone,

I'm planning a graduation dinner party for a group of 10 friends this spring in Los Angeles, and I'm hoping to get some recommendations on where we could celebrate this special occasion. We're looking for a place that can comfortably accommodate a group of our size and has a great atmosphere for celebrating.

Some of our preferences include:

• Diverse cuisine options, as we all have varied tastes.
• A nice setting that would be conducive to photos.
• Reasonably priced (ideally with options for group meals or set menus).
• Good service that can handle a lively group.

We're open to different areas around LA, so location isn't too strict. Any personal experiences or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your help!

Going to a Sunday day game soon and am looking for a good bottomless spot.

Thoughts?? Ideally can walk (stumble) to the stadium after but open to short Uber. Right now only spot I’ve got on list is Bacari in Silverlake.

Feel like there’s gotta be something on Sunset, in Echo Park or downtown

I’ve been looking for this everywhere and I can’t find it!! It’s a staple in diners where I’m from on the east coast. Anyone have a location where these are served?

I'm not talking about My Dung, and while they have great sandwiches for only $6, I feel that they're not too filling.

I'm talking about the one that's in the same plaza as amboy/howlin rays, there's a Vietnamese place that has banh mi sandwiches. Are they any good and how much do they run for? How does it compare to My Dung or even Banh Mi My Tho?

Can you use it? I have to leave town suddenly and just looking to transfer it so I don't lose the deposit.

Delicious Thai fusion!

Sorry for my shitty food photography, I just took this so I’d have an easier time explaining what it was to my husband and then I ate it and it was so good I thought I should post it here!

Anyway I saw Calic Bagels’ “stuffed bagel” on social media a few days ago and it’s not too far from me so I thought I’d check it out on my morning walk. It’s really, really good. Like the most indulgent garlic bread I’ve ever eaten. I now need to go lie down and digest for like the rest of the day, but it was worth it.

In Kendrick Lamar’s track Euphoria, when he says “fried rice with dip sauce” what is dip sauce?

I’m in LA for 48 hours. Best cheap eats suggestions? Looking for good food. Not bothered about venues just the best food, even if it’s a street stall. Had a Thai in Thai Town last night, which was incredible. Mexican, sushi, fries, desserts anything!

Happy Friday y'all! What are your plans for the weekend? Check out the top posts of the week for some ideas!

Back when I used to go to E3, we used to go to a place in Sawtelle that had the best beef dish I ever have. I swear it was called 5 Finger Beef, but everyone that went cant agree on what it was called, just that it was like 5 something beef. I'm pretty sure the location is where Manpuku is, but I dont see anything named like that on the menu. Any ideas what it might have been? We went there specifically for it so I think it was a famous dish at the time. Its also possible it was Manpuku and they just dont have it on the menu anymore or call it something else.

Anyways, I remember it being a small amount of maybe cubed meat, cooked on the grill at our table, and it was fairly expensive for the amount of meat, but like I said, it was really good so you dont mind it.

Looking for gourmet burger recommendations— aoilis/sauces, creative fusions, different meats, etc. i have a partner who says they suck and I want to change his mind.
