Come to LA and Try What the Bay Area Can’t Offer ✨

1️⃣ Torihei Yakitori Robata Dining 📍 1757 W Carson St Ste A, Torrance, CA 90501 💰 $40–50 per person An LA friend’s heartfelt recommendation—this yakitori is truly amazing! Beats Bay Area yakitori in both taste and price. Everything’s tender and flavorful—especially the chicken and beef skewers. 💖 Must-tries: Salmon rice clay pot, beef tongue. 2️⃣ Louders 📍 3470 W 6th St Ste 2a, Los Angeles, CA 90020 I don’t even go to Sun Nong Dan anymore—Louders is my new go-to, no wait required! That bowl loaded with melted cheese is pure satisfaction. 💖 Must-try: Octopus & pork belly rice + extra cheese. 3️⃣ n/soto 📍 4566 W Washington Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90016 💰 ~$120 per person | 📸 Resy reservations Michelin-level Japanese cuisine—an unforgettable experience. Their cocktails are sweet and delicious, and dishes like sashimi with vinegar jelly are refreshingly tangy. Hot dishes like seafood soup and tofu are also exquisite. 💖 Must-tries: King Crab Monaka, grilled beef tongue. 4️⃣ Cafe Upper 📍 300 S Hobart Blvd #101, Los Angeles, CA 90020 💰 ~$16 per person LA’s dessert & coffee scene is next level—so Korean, so cool. Their Einspänner (finger coffee) is almost too pretty to drink! 💖 Must-tries: Black sesame Einspänner, matcha croffle, soy milk shaved ice. 5️⃣ DaPaiDang 📍 250 W Valley Blvd #L, San Gabriel, CA 91776 💰 ~$68 per person Down-to-earth, lively decor—open until 2 AM, perfect for late-night eats! Google ratings aren’t high, but we thought it was delicious. 💖 Must-tries: Wasabi conch, sizzling squid, mushroom jelly dessert. 6️⃣ Dante Beverly Hills 📍 225 N Canon Dr, Beverly Hills, CA 90210 💰 ~$120 per person | 📍 Reserve via Google Maps The famous Dante from NYC is now in LA! Included here purely for the aesthetic—gorgeous decor and vibes. The floral cocktails are strong (not my style), but the sweeter ones are nice. #TravelFoodDiary #LAEats #LALife #LATravel #LAFood #LAJapanese #LANightEats #LACoffee
