Favorite Restaurants in Los Angeles - Part III

What was that?  Another post on my favorite Los Angeles restaurants?  Yes, out of hundreds, the two previous posts, and the ones below are just a few of my favorites.  This time I will highlight some "cheap eats."

Wurstkuche - love the "exotic" grilled sausages and the Belgium style fries with various dipping sauces.  Not great for a big group though.


Langer's - this deli is my absolute favorite for pastrami.  I've tried many, many pastrami sandwiches, even in New York, but Langer's takes first place.  If it's your first time, please try the #19 sandwich, an order of fries, and start off with the matzo ball soup.  It's A LOT of food.


In-N-Out - the burger, the fries, milk shake, or even the extra fizzy fountain sodas... so delicious!


Phillipe's Original - the birth place of French dip sandwiches.  I always order the beef sandwich, dipped, potato salad, and a soda.  Be careful of the hot mustard!  It truly is hot!  FYI:  cash only.


Daikokuya - love this tiny little ramen place in Little Tokyo... it's the soup that makes it so good!


Mario's Peruvian Restaurant - anything saltado (i.e. pollo saltado, lomo saltado...), the mussel ceviche is delicious, and so are the seafood dishes.


California Chicken Cafe - I'm not into salads, but the Chinese Chicken Salad is pretty awesome, and so is the rotisserie chicken.


Sushi Gen - love this place for lunch, the prices are more reasonable - for some reason, the dinner menu items are around $10 more.  The sashimi is delicious - try the chirashi.


Honey's Kettle Chicken - crispy fried chicken, flaky biscuit with butter and honey... yummm.  They sell their biscuit mix, which also makes excellent waffles!


Roscoe's Chicken and Waffle - I always order the 1/4 chicken, dark meat, gravy on the side, with waffles.  Really good stuff.


M Cafe - I'm not much of a healthy foods person, but this "modern macrobiotic" (whatever that means...) eatery has the best Grilled Tuna Burger.  Really good... and occasionally, you'll see random celebrities.


And there's plenty more... sigh.  So many good things to eat out there!
