In general the traffic on the 60 going east is better than the 10 but check Google Maps. I think it’s also shorter in terms of miles. Since you had Merry’s Indonesian as a possible choice it seems like you are thinking of stopping around half way between WLA and Palm Springs (1/2 way time wise not mile wise).
Other choices in the general area
Earthen for green onion pancakes, pot stickers, house special chicken and jja jaing mein.
Sanamluang and Ruen Pair for Thai and both very close to on/off ramps.
