July 2026 Rundown

They are so good. Also there is a location in Anaheim that is pretty close to Disneyland.

Sunnin. It’s been a long time since I’ve been here in person. Deliveries have been a little disappointing. But this food in person, at least on this day, was good. The chicken shwarama was well above par, and the hummus was just right. I don’t know of any better place to have lunch around Westwood.

Very controversial take on the waffle fries. I would put them middle of the pack. I think most can agree that curly fries are the worst. Haha.

RIP Carl’s Jr Frispo-matic fries from the 1980’s. Truly fast food French fry perfection.

I don’t think waffle fries are the best fries but they have a high floor for some reason. They’re rarely bad in my experience. A mechanical engineer could explain why the resilient structure prevents drooping.

If Century City is not too far from Westwood for @PeonyWarrior, I would also add Very Thai (I’ve really enjoyed my 2 trips there).

Last 2 lunches at Shamshiri recently were quite pleasing (after a VERY meh lunch there many yrs ago).

The tuna sandwich at Ludivine is also good. I have not tried any of their pastries in my trips there, strangely enough.

I haven’t heard of this place! Will need to check it out. Although the Broxton lot no longer having 2-hr free parking stinks. :frowning:

I think I would actually put curly fries above waffle! A poorly done waffle is just too starchy (but I loved the Carl’s Jr ones b/c of all the seasoning).

Mima’s. Has become my favorite lunch in DTLA. I like Zankou’s chicken tarna, but Mima’s chicken shawarma is better. Everything is above average.

Does Sandra still have percebes on the menu?

IDK I was hoping for the full menu at the bar but they only gave me the drinks/tapas menu. Everything was very well executed but I was hoping to try the dinner menu. Drinks were very good, but I can get a full dinner at Melisse or Rustic Canyon at the bar so for me I probably won’t go back unless I have dinner reservations

If you’re looking for KBBQ on the north end of Irvine Marble is a good spot. Very good high quality meat. Good ban chan and excellent attentive service. Very crowded for weekday lunch mostly Korean clientele.
