Comfort Food Restaurants in Los Angeles, CA

“We loved our experience here. Attentive service and really good food. My only critique as a person with food allergies is that I wish those were listed on the menu (GF, V, DF, etc). A gluten free toast option would be amazing too, but I’ll take what I can get!“

“The employee Alfredo always is very friendly and helpful and he also gives us excellent service. Another thing that he always smiling that’s why I feel very comfortable to ask someone when I needed . Alfredo is excellent employee.“

“Fusion Filipino restaurant with natural wine and Filipino beer selection. After trying many under-delivered fusion Filipino restaurants, Spoon and Pork easily takes the crowd to have the best executed fusion style dishes. We had the sinigang, grilled chicken, adobo chicken wings, pork belly, and garlic rice, and none of them disappointed.Sinigang's soup was rich and flavorful while the topping in the soup was cooked separately so they are not over cooked. The ribs came with a real nicely grilled flavored. The pork belly had crispy skin as expected and the fat to meat ratio was really good. The adobo chicken wings sauce was thick and sticky and not too salty nor sour, we kept the sauce for dipping Even after the wings were devoured.We are glad we took another chance in another fusion Filipino restaurant and we'll keep S&P on our rotation.“

“I'm from New England, though I was born in Trinidad and have always been quite attached to my Trini roots). Turkey Day is a big deal back East and it was my mom's favorite day of the year. She passed a few years back and I picked up the mantle, putting on a big "friends and family" feast for all comers. This year, that went sideways and I needed to find an alternative. Thankfully, I found Bridgetown. I ordered 10 roti (5 oxtail and 5 green curry shrimp), a jerk turkey leg, macaroni and cheese and an assortment of hot sauces. I picked everything up the day before Thanksgiving and all I had to do was pop the goodies into the oven (easy peasy) and wait (less easy peasy because it all smelled gooooood). It all tasted even better than it smelled. The roti were all on point (though I had a slight preference for the oxtail). The turkey leg was moist and flavorful. And the Mac and Cheese was flat out awesome. The macaroni was perfectly cooked, not mushy at all, and the sauce had just the slightest hint of heat. And let's not forget about the sauces. The lime pepper tomatillo was mild, but packed with flavor. The pineapple habanero and the pepper sauce both backed serious heat, but we're REALLY flavorful. I love hot sauce and the pineapple habanero was definitely among the best I've ever had. If you like trying different foods and you are looking for something a little different, give Bridgetown a go. You won't be sorry.“

“Great place friendly environment and good food! Love the fact that the food is prepared right In your face. Nicely done ALTO Adams!!!“

“Original Bone Broth ?It’s hard to dispute the fact that Los Angeles’ Koreatown is the mecca for Korean food in the United StatesI’ve never lived close enough to explore it well but did this past week sampling soy marinated raw crabs, short rib stews, and multi-colored banchanMy favorite however was the traditional ox bone soup. In the SF Bay Area, I most often order the more flavorful galbi tang (short rib soup) but the sul lung tang is as close to Korea and the go-to in LAI’ve been wanting to try Han Bat Shul Lung Tang for close to a decade and it did not disappointJust a pinch of salt, plentiful scallions and a side of kimchi and rice made the perfect meal combinationThe broth is milky white (side note I also tried the clear sul lung tang at Young Dang) and it’s so full of rich beefiness you can easily tell it’s made over hoursParking isn’t as bad as I’ve always feared in LA with plentiful lots and parking structures in Koreatown that makes it a destination worthy of your time? Salgoki Sul Lung Tang $20 ~ brisket / Seokum $20 ~ mixed / Naejang $20 ~ Intestines, Tripe, Spleen?Hanbat Sul Lung Tang (Los Angeles, CA)Seating is indoor only and limited metered street parking is available nearby. Credit cards are accepted.“

“If you're interested in trying popular Vietnamese entrees outside of pho, head over to Be U! This woman-owned eatery is located in a prime hipster Echo Park neighborhood, and to me, it's a perfect blend of my culture superimposed on Los Angeles's colorful cityscape. The menu ranges from homey comfort-food entrees to popular street bites, and some new-age fusion items as well. Atmosphere: 2/5 As a take-out-only restaurant located on Hoover Street, there's no seating and it faces traffic. If only there were some colorful plastic chairs (like the ones you see in SE Asia) - the vibes would be immaculate. However, you're either standing and eating or taking the food back to your home. Service: 3/5 Wasn't bad but wasn't warm or friendly either - service was okay Flavors: 5/5 Highly recommend: -Banh mi trung op la (banh mi with fried egg): homemade mushroom pate is delicious, it inspired me to make some at home. The egg was crispy to the heavens. -Rau ma juice: in English known as pennyworth, extremely refreshing, herbal, and will cool you down on a hot day. -Tofu goi cuon (spring rolls): The peanut sauce offered with this was so yummy! The spring rolls were super fresh and all the herbs complemented the flavors. Parking: 2/5 Street parking only, very limited Pricing: 3/5 Definitely not cheap for Vietnamese food, however, LA is a high-cost-of-living area so I understand that the owner needs to maintain overhead costs and pay her employees a fair wage! Expect to pay $4-5 higher than what you're used to paying in the OC/SJ/SGV. The reason why I rate it low is because the portions are significantly smaller than what you'd get at a traditional sit down Vietnamese restaurant Overall I recommend Be U if you're unfamiliar with Vietnamese food outside of mainstream pho, but if you're willing to drive to SGV, Garden Grove/Westminster, you'll be truly immersed in the cuisine and culture“

“A cute little diner stashed away inside The Delphi.We went for a quick brunch. The atmosphere is great, calming and homey, and the servers were very polite and apt. The food was okay. My mom enjoyed the chicken sandwich. I had the English breakfast which was filling, but basic. I was interested in the Grilled Avocado, but it came out as normal and not grilled at all...It was still an enjoyable time, we will definitely be back to try lunch and dinner.“

“Good food big portions. Fast service.“

“Fantastic food, great atmosphere, great service, wonderful music. I love everything about this place“

“The food was ok tasting (we ordered the seafood pancake, soft tofu soup, bulgogi and mackerel) and the wait staff courteous. The banchan options were delicious. The place is a no frills mom and pop restaurant located in a shopping strip center.“

“Pizza did not disappoint. Ordered through delivery app. Pizza arrived within a reasonable time. Pizza was still hot and I'd have to say, perfectly cooked and delicious. I am deducting one star solely based on the pizza being delivered with no safety seal / sticker on the box. I genuinely hope they implement this soon. It is a health issue / industry standard in this day and age.“

“This is the second time I ordered a sandwich at LA Brisket this week! I can't believe more people aren't praising this joint! It is in a small mall/hallway in Chinatown. They have a few tables in the hallway. It's not the most convenient place to eat because of the limited seating and the exterior doors were open (causing a cold breeze). I was told by other guest that the doors can't be closed because it will lock. In short, it is easier to just order pick up and eat elsewhere. Anyways, let's get to the good part... the food. I've had both the 101 and 405 sandwiches. Both are so juicy and full of flavor with great combinations of cheese and sauce. The bread is perfectly is crispy on the outside so it hold its structure well for a sandwich but warm and soft on the inside. The brisket is the star of the show. Just the right amount of smoke and fat. It falls apart perfectly without being too soggy. The truffle fries were good. They were well done and very crispy. I'm hooked!“

“We stopped in from Ohio and ate, and it was the best chicken parm we have ever had. We got the chicken parmesian poutine and the Philly cheese steak sandwich and split it, and there was more than enough for two people. I would definately return here.“

“Fantastic restaurant! They are known, as the name in Korean suggests, for their cheonggukjang (fermented soybean stew). Absolutely delicious. The staff working here take care of every detail in the service as well as the food. Price is also good. This is definitely one of the gems of ktown - homey, authentic, and delicious. Ample parking, but the restaurant itself is on the smaller side. There can be a small wait if coming at a popular time.“

“Best restaurant. No need for extra comments. Best ever, without a doubt. I’ve been going there for 30 years!“

“This place, by far, has the most delicious "garlic" bossam in K-town & OC combined. The garlic topping on a thinly sliced pork is what I needed for my comfort meal rotations. I live in Fullerton so I don't get to go to LA too often but when I do, this place is my GO-TO PLACE!! I visited yesterday and the food was delish!! It made me drink more soju though .“

“Head to the back! During the holidays, I usually purchase chicken sausages for the holidays. One day, i saw that they were selling hot food so i purchased breakfast to go. The food was fresh and the service was good. Everyone was very friendly and the ambiance reminded me my moms kitchen. They do have a eating area. Once you get your order, you need to walk to the front and pay first then take the receipt back before they prepare your food. Service is fast. I really enjoyed the sausage on a bun with grilled onions and mustard. I paired it with my ice coffee i picked up at South LA coffee cafe. Good food, good eats! It's good comfort food. Another time i had grits, eggs and fried chicken wings. The food is fresh and hot. Nothing but good and my favorite spot to get food to go.“

“AMAZING. AMAZING. AMAZING!!! Saw this place reviewed on IG and decided to check it out. Listen, imagine high quality ingredients in a fast food setting. Now, imagine this done with PASTA. Insanely good. I had the Original Marinara with Italian sausage and I was absolutely blown away.The noodles were perfectly al dente and the sauce was not too sweet and not too savory, it was PERFECT and was a chunky meat sauce that was infused with the Italian sausage.The person who worked the register was SO POLITE, professional, and patient with me as I not only spoke about their selections, but she also heard me out regarding some awesome nearby eateries, as well (I had some chicken from a place called Kickin' Chicken and Fish that I absolutely needed to try with their pasta. Lbvs!). I will most CERTAINLY be back! Get here!“

“food was amazing. Staff Behaviour was very nice. fresh food and god quality!“

“I was in LA a couple of weeks ago on business and found this spot the day before leaving and that's my biggest regret. Wish we'd found it the first day we we're there I'd have been eating there everyday. The food and atmosphere are excellent and a live DJ playing music we all grew up on (can you dig it ✊?). The purple (grape) kool-aid was a blast from the past fo so.“

“Every time we eat there, we are impressed by the overall quality of the food and service. Chef Arango delivers high quality food in every dish. Each item is extremely fresh and well prepared. You can also tell that the family really appreciates every single customer. I can't say enough positive things about them. I am honestly thankful to have a such a solid Indian food option right in the neighborhood.“

“I always come here for the Soy Sauce Fermented Raw Shrimp! The sauce is prepared perfectly every time. My guests have tried a variety items on their menu from Galbi to Tofu to soups and stews. They love everything they tried. Very authentic Korean food. The service is always friendly and patient to explain the menu items. It's a perfect setting to catch up with family and friends and have great conversation because the restaurant is never too loud or noisy. AND I LOVE THE K-POP MUSIC THEY PLAY!!!! Absolutely my best go-to Korean restaurant.“

“Oh my god. I don't normally leave reviews but I just ordered delivery from here and I had to. This is the best Thai food I've had in LA. Period. I got the Pad See Ew (See You Again, for sure), Basil Crispy Chicken Wings and Thai Iced Tea. SO GOOD. The Pad See Ew is so flavor packed. The beef and noodles are cooked to perfection, I LOVE the way the tofu is cooked. I am so picky about tofu, this is perfectly fried and sized, crispy on the outside and not dry on the inside. AMAZING. I LOVE LOVE LOVE vinegar chili and am soooooooo happy these came with the dish on the side, definitely ordering extra next time! The chicken wings are SO crispy and flavorful. Holy cow. Thai iced tea not too sweet or too milky, literally perfect. Compliments to the chef!!! I've tried every Thai place and had given up on finding anything that is worth ordering. I am SO glad I took a shot. I can finally order Thai weekly again :') ORDER FROM HERE YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!!! I can't wait to try everything on the menu. You can tell the chef cares about every dish that's prepared, high quality and not just thrown together. So happy!!!“

“fresh and authentic. Best broth in town that is not overwhelmed with msg like other places.“

“QUALITY AUTHENTIC KOREAN FOOD AT KOREA TOWN. PORK NECK SOUP THE BEST“

“this is my new spot. right near my work. good portions. best plantains. service is always nice and fast i said oh my god so many times the first time i ate here good location too nice outdoor table and booth next to the window. they got all the sodas too! still need to try the patties. they look flaky“

“Very good turkey chili and chicken pot pie“

“I just tried the passion salad , the awake, and vibrant salad. I would definitely recommend this place. And that sneaky guy put some banana pudding in my bag, which I did not order, but OMG I'm glad he did. I will be ordering that banana pudding from here on out. It was amazing!“

“Amazing. The food is just so good every single time. From their burritos, to their rice balls and oh my god, the Thai teaaaa. *Chefs Kiss* Please try their Thai tea at least once in your life. It's so creamy and delicious. Hands down one of the best I've ever tried. Will continue coming back for as long as they're open. It's won my heart and my belly.“

“It’s slow to get your order, but that’s because it’s made fresh. If your in a hurry, take it to go. Otherwise, the chicken is excellent.“

“I always go with Evan Tan and we fall in love every time“

“Discovered this gem on Doordash and ordered as takeout. I'm so glad I found this place and surprised it isn't more well known! I really enjoyed the ox bone sullungtang as it was milky and rich with umami flavor. I didn't even need to add salt! I also really enjoyed the radish in soy sauce and thought it paired really well with the brisket. I wasn't a fan of their kimchi, however, but the radish kimchi was decent. I think the broth is the star part of the meal and hope to dine in at this restaurant one day!“

“One of the real good experiences that I had with taco trucks is this one, their food is tasty and flavorful and another good thing is ,they accept Zell as well so it is not cash only like many other places, I tried their mulitas which was amazing The guy and the lady who took my order very polite as well!“
