Any must-try restaurants for UCLA visit?
You're right. It's Sawtelle. I guess I shouldn't be on the internet so late at night.
Any must-try restaurants for UCLA visit?
Grew up in Westwood. Went to UCLA for undergrad and Ph.D. Sounds like a college visit, so your son needs to know where he's really going to find the good eats once he's set loose and put on a budget.
Sepulveda between Olympic and Wilshire has many good, cheap eats mostly of the Japanese variety. Hide Sushi, Furaibo (drinking food, appetizers), Asahi Ramen.
In Westwood: Diddyriese (ice cream sandwich, cookie), Saks (I subsisted on this).
USC is surrounded by a slum but there are some really good taco stands. But Chinatown is a quick drive. Empress Pavilion for dimsum. Sam Woo for late night chinese.
Perhaps totally irrelevant: I'd suggest getting a car with GPS, unless you really don't know how to drive. Cabs are hard to get. Most trips will cost you 25 dollars at least. And you will feel stranded and marooned.
Cheapest Chinese Lobster
Loathe to spill the beans...but it was Ocean Star on Atlantic. Their dimsum is also going for an incredible rate.
Cheapest Chinese Lobster
Just had dimsum and saw that lobster is going so cheap at the restaurants, it's best to just eat out. At my dimsum joint, it was $3.99/plate if I buy two accompanying dinner plates. WOW!
Where are the good deals on yummy lobster? At these prices, it's gonna be a lobster week!
Furaibo Tebasaki Chicken: Recipe? (moved from L.A. boardd)
God I love tebasaki chicken wings (spicy is best!) at Furaibo. Does anyone know of the recipe?
LA suggestions for New Yorkers?
Stan's is right next to 2 hrs free parking structure. No validation required.
