@MyAnnoyingOpinions, long-time jealous lurker here who’s happy to make a contribution. Yay, always wishing I can eat & drive to all the awesome places north of us. I did a drive-by since I’m nearby (apologies for the fuzzy pix) SFM (pix w/all the lights) and Ashoka look to have sidewalk dining (sorry, my darn camera wasn’t focusing at Ashoka so no pix). Oops, I’m limited to 5 pix.
If you don’t already know, pls be careful to reduce your speed to 15 mph from 183rd to South Street; the 2-lane Pioneer from 183rd also merges into 1 lane after the light. I don’t think Artesia has asked biz to remove sidewalk dining areas. As a matter of fact, the city widened the sidewalks & added a median area for dining/functions/gatherings years before the pandemic but only the sidewalks are used for dining.
I agree w/the Ashoka, SFM (they have the best pani puri crispy balls & India House for the buffet. While you’re in the area, drive around so hopefully you can make mental notes of restos you might want to try during future visits since you’re now coming from Seal Beach. I took pix of other places along South Street so let me know if you’re interested in other restos other than Indian. Artesia Blvd/183rd Street/South Street are EW;Norwalk/Pioneer/Gridley (Mall) are NS.
Enjoy your visit and hope you find nice meals in our neck of the woods. Can’t wait to read about your experiences. Happy Holidays and safe trip back home w/the fam.Processing: 214587C0-070D-439A-B077-891A897AF1F4.jpeg…
