What to Eat on Your 3rd Trip to LA 🍽️✨ – A Foodie’s Honest Guide!

Having visited LA multiple times, I’ve narrowed down my must-eats — here’s the real deal: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Must-Eat! 🍖 Sun Nong Dan Cheesy beef rib stew with rice cakes — simple, bold, and SO satisfying! 🚫 Skip the oxtail — not worth it. 🥪 Langer's Delicatessen Restaurant Their pastrami is even more tender and flavorful than Katz’s in NYC — I couldn’t stop eating! 💡 Wish it came with spicy mustard though. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly Recommend! 🍣 Danbi Uni & sweet shrimp bibimbap — so fresh and sweet, we ordered another bowl right away! 🥩 Beef tartare was good, but needed more bone marrow. 🫓 Scallion seafood pancake — crispy and loaded. 🍸 Cocktails were just okay — nothing special. 🧇 Bruxie Crispy waffle sandwiches with fried chicken and fresh slaw — a perfect savory-sweet combo! 🍔 In-N-Out Always go for the Double-Double — the single patty just doesn’t hit the same. 🍰 LADURÉE Macaron heaven — delicate, flavorful, and worth every bite. 🔥 Haidilao Hot Pot No spicy in LA, but their golden collagen chicken broth is a winner! Pair it with the newly opened Bawang Chaji next door — tastes just like home. ⭐⭐⭐ Worth a Try ☕ Maru Coffee A premium version of Luckin Coffee — smooth, aromatic beans. 🍪 Brown Bag Cookies Only the canelé is worth it — crispy shell, moist inside (maybe a bit too moist). 🚫 Their other picks were meh: Scone was soggy Pound cake was basic Tigré too sweet Cold brew was decent though! 🥟 Four Sea Restaurant Classic Chinese breakfast — comfort in a bowl for homesick souls. ⭐⭐ Just Okay – You Can Skip 🥯 Layla Bagels & Coffee Big letdown — doesn’t come close to NYC bagels. 🥩 Yumiyaki Sukiyaki House Good value, but the wagyu was nothing special. Whether you're revisiting or planning your first trip — this list will keep you eating well in the City of Angels! 😇🍜 #LAEats #FoodieGuide #LosAngelesFood #SunNongDan #Haidilao #MatchaLovers #MustTry
