I searched, and we don’t seem to have a dedicated lunch thread.
As we all know, lunch can be a relaxing meal in the middle of the day with friends and wine, or it can be a frustrating and inconvenient “I need fuel” situation.
Post your favorite lunch go-tos and new finds, especially any great lunch deals in your part of town.
shunji: $40 12 pieces, soup and handroll lunch special
It’s only 12 minutes away from me!
What’s the lunch dress code?
Come as you are
Easy for a guy to say. What do you wear to lunch?
@PorkyBelly a reminder that I woefully live and work not in the right part of town.
Park BBQ lunch special is only 11.99 comes with full banchan, soup, bbq meat, a ton of stuff.
Salt’s Cure Bacon Cheeseburger is only 7 bucks, go with a buddy and split fries and you’re walking out with lunch for about 12 bucks.
Raku Bento Box is like 28 bucks great deal.
Need more suggestions in the Hollywood area please!
I usually wear my buffet pants so i can order OOE.
sushi of gari: 7 piece + roll $25
Shamshiri lunches are huge and a fantastic bargain. There is so much food at lunch (I leave stuffed and I’m a big eater) that the extra cost for one additional skewer at dinner is a waste of money to me.
Those are excellent lunch recommendations! Thank you.
Going here tomorrow. Do we need reservations for lunch?
no, but i usually make one and request to be seated in front of shunji-san.
Sushi Tsujita on Sawtelle offers a $18 lunch special Bara-Chirashi, served with soup. They make only 15 of these boxes for each lunchtime service.
Great suggestion. While it varies per day, for anyone wanting to get this deal, we once showed up at Sushi Tsujita around 11:45 a.m. or so, and the table next to us was just ordering, asking about the $18 lunch special, and it was already all gone by then.
Jinpachi in weho- chirachi bowl lunch special. how i miss working driving distance to that area… now my go to spot is Joe’s Falafel. Speaking of falafel if you’re in the hollywood area, try Ta-eem grill. Still my favorite falafel.

do those places actually have special lunch specials?.. Or are you saying they’re just good lunch spots in Hollywood…because pretty sure some of those don’t
I also hit up sushi tsjuita for the lunch chirashi around 11:30 and they were gone already too!
I think you literally have to line up at opening to get one.
