This food is delicious! Who knew that Romanian food was the hottest thing? This colorful little bistro has great prices ($8 for a gorgeous salad which luxe ingredients). The atmosphere is a little funky, but hey, that's our hood!
You really can't miss with any dish here, and it's best for two to four people. Be on the cutting edge; go grab Romanian for lunch! AND it's got five stars on Yelp, which is nearly impossible.

You WILL wait an hour for this hot new conveyor-belt sushi restaurant, but the fun and the food are well worth it. Go there; check in on the tablet, and walk around Little Tokyo while you wait. Don't miss getting a red-bean bun or tasty delight (dessert first), while you wait. There is often live music in the area so that's a plus. The sushi is super-fresh, and ordering from the tablet at the table is great fun. After 15 sushi plates (at the bargain price of $2.50 per plate), you'll get a prize! It literally drops down.

This iconic joint in the heart of Chinatown has long been considered the best traditional Chinese food restaurant in LA. I've been visiting there since 1989, and it's STILL packed. If you are a seafood lover, the Slippery Shrimp dish tastes like candy! It's a little pricey, but well worth it. For veggie lovers, the garlic string beans are amazing. Ask for everything with "low oil" if you are sensitive to fats. Another amazing dish is the 3 ingredient taste with snow peas. It comes with beef, shrimp, scallops with snow peas in a brown sauce. Delicious!

You just have to see this building. It's indescribably beautiful. It was designated a national historic landmark in 1977 by the National Park Service. Architect George Herbert Wyman (then a young draftsman for Sumner Hunt) drew his inspiration from the cult classic book "Looking Backward" by Edward Bellamy and was guided by a Ouija board in taking on the project! Crazy, right? With lavish displays of Italian marble, Mexican tile, intricate grillwork and water-powered elevators, this has the largest plate-glass windows in LA and it is well worth a quick walk-through before or after you visit the iconic Grand Central Market across the street. AND it's FREE.
