Livello

As if you didn't have reason enough to want to swing by the L'Ermitage on any given night, now you've got several. Namely spaghetti carbonara with wagyu and soy mirin pork belly. Chef Joseph Elevad... read more

Xoia Vietnamese Eats

Location alone (next to El Prado, across from the Echo) would make this place hot. The food ain't hurtin'. Vietnamese, but beyond the usuals. The owner's favorites from her hometown, Hoi An, are al... read more

Tiato

Breakfast and lunch on a big open patio, or inside if you've had enough Santa Monica sun. Snag to-go from the market if you've got places to be (beach or office). California-ish cuisine, but with a... read more

WP24

It makes sense that Downtown's much-anticipated Ritz-Carlton would turn to the Puckster for their anchor resto. Two '80s greats taste great together! Restaurant is on the 24th floor, the better for... read more

Tangier Korean BBQ of Tokyo

A formerly North African-themed bar now offers Korean BBQ...of Tokyo. Whatever. They're having fun with it. There's a bar with lots of bright lights and a robot serves as decoration. Towards the ba... read more

East

The nightlife king is waking up a little earlier and serving dinner to Hollywood's haves. Cali-Asian menu that's giving the finger to the recession: sashimi? Oh, just a little, thanks. Or try seare... read more

Philippe

Chinese as high-end dining isn't really an L.A. thing. Perhaps Philippe Chow can change that. In the old Dolce space, so scenesters and expense accounts are essentially built-in. Right there next t... read more

Soi 7

Los Angeles has the best Thai food in the country, and it's cheap. This is different. Delicious is subjective, but refined isn't. Soi 7 is going the fancy route, with prices to match. Deconstructed... read more

Hakobe

When a successful restauranteur and a model come together, what are they to do? Besides make beautiful babies, they should create a restaurant, of course. It was a steakhouse, but perhaps sushi is ... read more

Gobi Mongolian BBQ House

Mongolian buffet? For those who know, it's a crazy-ass feeding frenzy. Average Chinese banquet hall vibe. But Angelenos don't know. Hence the decor here: dark wood, classy Asian add-ons. Still a bu... read more

Trader Vic's

Is rounding out L.A. Live with boozy goodness. Scorpion bowls for everyone! (Yes, that's the four-person mystery drink getting people fitshaced for generations.) Get ribs and pot stickers and littl... read more

Seed Kitchen

You'd think vegan chefs would do their own thing, but the menu at this Venice cafe is all veganaise, soysage, and soyzzarella. It's American meets Asian in macrobiotic health fusion diaspora.... read more

Luau

Don't think of drinks on fire or torches at the door. Think subdued boite with small bites and Murano-ed walls. Well, the occasional drink from a coconut. It is called Luau. Food worth having. Cock... read more

Kona

Once a tiki emporium with bland food, but these days, they're working on the food, and even did a name change to upgrade the image. Now there's more fish, less breading, but tiki madness is still t... read more

Take A Bao

Bao are delicious Chinese snacks and mainstays of dim sum. Here they get all wacky. Shaped like tacos, filled with whatever. Want one that tastes like chicken satay with peanut sauce? Done. Teriyak... read more
