Genghis Cohen Fairfax

Newly added!
It’s a new location for the locally beloved banquet of New York-style Chinese food, live music, and “Foo Foo” cocktails. You’ll want to dine with a group so you can properly tour the extensive menu from Kanton knish and assorted dumplings to stir-fried noodles and house specialties like whole or half No Name duck with bao.

OKDONGSIK LA South Park

Newly added!
From Seoul via NYC, this pop-up in DTLA’s Stile Hotel isn’t easy to find (follow the signs past the gelato shop), is minimalist in decor, and known for one thing and one thing only: dweji gomtang. Think a clear pork soup served steaming with rice, thin slices of pork, and a side of pepper paste you’ll want to put on everything.

Kurrypinch East Hollywood
Newly added!
Sri Lankan tradition meets SoCal flair in this modern space filled with soft light, wood accents, and greenery. Classics like kottu roti and banana leaf-wrapped lamprais (a perfect rice dish) share the menu with inventive takes on things like string hopper pilau. Grab a seat at the chef’s counter for exclusive dishes and next-level flavor combinations.
Bar Avoja Hollywood
Newly added!
This hideaway behind Mother Wolf is unmistakably chef Evan Funke’s, pairing Roman street food with artful drinks. Think carbonara-stuffed frittatina, cacio e pepe arancini, and wood-fired pizzas folded like pockets and topped with oxtail meatballs or smoked salmon. Cocktails are bright, bold, and built for late nights and long conversations.
Gebang Sikdang Koreatown
Newly added!
Like the original in Seoul, this ganjang gejang specialist features the sweet, juicy female blue crabs marinated in soy sauce or spices, best served spooned over hot rice with banchan on the side. Complete the soy-marinated experience with add-on abalone or shrimp, plus a yuzu sool highball to cool things down.
Lozio Osteria Redondo Beach
Newly added!
Just steps from Veterans Park and the ocean, you’ll find a full bar, cozy lighting, and an airy patio that’s ideal for game day or date night. Don’t miss the impeccable meatballs, cacio e pepe, and next-level tiramisu. Brunch on weekends, happy hour on weekdays — it hits all the right neighborhood notes.
Bar Benjamin Melrose
If you’re a fan of The Benjamin Hollywood’s buzzy energy, glowing Art Déco space, and brasserie-inspired menus, you’ll love this upstairs extension. The bar expands on the signature cocktail menu from its downstairs counterpart with complex, creative drinks from experts Jason Lee (of N/Soto and baroo) and Chad Austin (of Bootlegger Tiki). The duo pulls from global flavors in cocktails like the Fesenjoon, inspired by a Persian walnut-and-pomegranate stew, or the Bad Bunny, a carrot-hazelnut-aquavit milk punch.
Lucia Fairfax

Following a solid run on “Top Chef Canada,” chef Adrian Forte is setting roots in L.A. to showcase his signature Caribbean flavors through a fine dining lens. Think: grilled fish served with creamed callaloo and coconut beurre blanc, or Guyanese oxtail pepper pot and spring greens. At the heart of the sleek space, the glowing bar churns out cocktails like clarified piña coladas to complement the meal.

Cannonball South Pasadena

This South Pasadena building has great bones — brick walls, two floors, a patio — and it suits the bistro-leaning menu from the Hippo and Triple Beam folks. Expect great cocktails (we always love a swizzle!), wines, and seasonal dishes like shaved celery salad with dates, fideos with clams and chorizo, and a great burger. It’s next to the A Line stop, which means you can restaurant hop right down to its Highland Park siblings.

Daisy Sherman Oaks
If the excellent margaritas feel familiar, that’s because this Valley offshoot is backed by the same award-winning team as Los Feliz’s Mírate. Like its predecessor, the cocktails showcase Mexican spirits and dishes are market-driven takes on staples (aguachiles, tacos, and branzino asado), but here, the team goes all-in on margaritas with an entire menu of variations, including a blended version with fresh avocado, and the Dirty Shirley margarita with a “sprite” cordial and pomegranate liqueur.
Doto Silver Lake
From morning coffee drinks (try the koji caramel latte) to afternoon bento boxes filled with grilled arctic char and seasonal greens, the big draw to this Virgil Village spot is its thoughtful Japanese-Californian menu and comfortable community-minded space. At night, the menu expands with a grass-fed beef burger with Comté and pickle aïoli, hand rolls, and fried chicken with a little kick of spice.
Beethoven Market Mar Vista
Destined to become a neighborhood staple, this modern Cal-Ital spot breathes new life into a storied space. Inside and out, it’s a great hang for handmade pizzas and pastas, snacks like focaccia with whipped ricotta, and crispy rice balls stuffed with cheese, or larger dishes that center a meal (think whole snapper or pork collar). Don’t skip the drinks — cocktails come alive with unique twists on classics.
Matū Kai Brentwood

Whether à la carte or within one of the dinner sets, wagyu beef sourced exclusively from New Zealand is the star. It’s in the 24-hour bone broth you sip at the beginning of the tasting menu, in the tartare, in generous grilled ribeyes, and in exclusives like meatballs with pomodoro that sibling Matū doesn’t serve. Plus, the wine list is wide-ranging and includes Matu’s house label wine.

¡Jaime! Taqueria El Segundo
Because it’s a neighborhood cantina from a family of restaurants backed by chef Jackson Kalb (Jame Enoteca, Ospi, Jemma). And they’re not holding back on flavor here: from fresh guacamole topped with corn or black garlic chile crunch, to a pastor-like pork shank with pineapple glaze, with plenty of tacos, taquitos, queso, and margaritas in between.
Cosetta Santa Monica
This stylish Italian spot is a multi-tool of a restaurant, ready to welcome whatever occasion you are seeking. The fantastic pizzas, raw bar-fueled small plates, and generous dishes like barbecue Maine lobster are always comforting, plus beverages cover creative cocktails, wines, and zero-proof options, and there’s enough space for families. Chef Zach Pollack’s breezy California-centric spot even has a parking lot, too.
baby bistro Victor Heights
Chef Miles Thompson is never one to shy away from creative, contemporary, ingredient-driven cuisine, whether it’s at an iconic Westside restaurant or one of his roving pop-ups. At this Victor Heights brick-and-mortar, the tiny, cottage-like space is intimate and rustic with modern vibes — just the place for the ever-evolving seasonal menu and well-curated wines to match.
Great White – Brentwood Brentwood

Because this breezy all-day cafe brings brightly-flavored California fare — salads, sandwiches, pasta, pizza, and more — plus cocktails, and a low-intervention wine list to the bustling Brentwood scene. And you know there’s always an impeccable avocado toast (this is an Aussie-owned joint, after all, birthplace of the now L.A. staple).

88 Club Beverly Hills
Chef Mei Lin has a knack for turning classic dishes from her upbringing into something revelatory. You’ll find it at her swanky Beverly Hills spot in every bite of char siu pork, glistening nam yu-roasted chicken, and sesame prawn toast. It’s all familiar, yet nothing like you’ve had before. The space is gorgeous and full of good-luck symbolism, from tiger paintings to jade-colored walls.

firstborn Chinatown
When you get a classically trained chef dishing out things like country-fried chongqing chicken, egg custard, and roast duck, there’s only one place that feels right for it: The Mandarin Plaza in Chinatown. Firstborn’s menu changes seasonally, which means you’ll want to stop in for highlights on the regular.
CAVCAS Beverly Hills Beverly Hills
Nestled among the many restaurants on Canon Drive, this spot stands out with its dramatic space and a menu that features modern takes on dishes from the Caucasus: things like Wagyu-stuffed dolma, khachapuri with truffle, and khorovats (aka Armenian barbecue).
Lasung Tofu & Pot Rice Koreatown
You can trust the sibling restaurant to Lasung House with soul-affirming Korean food. Case in point: Lasung’s sotbap, a rice dish cooked in a stone pot with a crackling-crisp bottom, and their soondubu, the soft tofu stew made with a long-simmered broth. Don’t overlook the extras (all standouts), from clams, pollack roe, and grilled eel you can get with the sotbap, to lobster for the stew.
Superba Food + Bread – Calabasas Calabasas

If there’s one thing the Superba folks know, it’s all-day eating. Like their other locations around L.A. (Hollywood, Venice), you’ll find bacon and eggs for breakfast and double cheeseburgers for lunch. For dinner, share roast chicken and seasonal salads, and know that their wines by the glass, or an olive-washed martini, hit just right.

Alba Los Angeles West Hollywood
Leave it to Adam Leonti to build the Italian restaurant of your dreams. The stunning West Hollywood space (all curves and bright colors, with a playfulness to it all) sets the stage for what the Alba team is calling a “vacation Italian” menu — think spritzes, gorgeous pastas, and a “garden” section that shows off the season’s best. Pro tip: The house focaccia is required ordering — Leonti’s a wiz in the bread department, and you’re not going to want to miss this signature item.
Cosetta Santa Monica
Now open in Santa Monica is Cosetta, the beautiful new Cal-Italian star from chef Zach Pollack, whose work you may remember from bygone beloved spots like Alimento and Cosa Buona. His newest restaurant blends Italy and Southern California with a menu full of crudos, salads, pizza, and even wings.
Vin Folk Hermosa Beach
At Vin Folk, the chefs are your servers, bringing plates from the kitchen, and explaining them, too — head cheese toast, mussels tart, and jowl with mackerel are but some of the enticing offerings at this cozy wine bistro. Sit back, watch the kitchen groove, and dive in for something a little different.
