  1. Rank 1. Chifa

    Chinese fusion Peruvian

    Peruvian-Chinese fusion arrives in Eagle Rock through a team unafraid of velvet chairs and zebra stripes, pulling family recipes into a menu that moves from delicate sea bream to char siu pork cheek kissed by wood fire. The lomo saltado—filet mignon and onions glazed in umami gravy atop fries—arrives as the evening's inevitable crescendo.

    Two open-flame ovens anchor this Glassell Park dining room where Southern cooking—oysters, rib eyes, braised greens—emerges charred and smoky from the coals. Communal tables and a counter facing the kitchen deliver the spectacle of fire, while a quieter wine bar in back offers refuge from the heat.

    Portuguese

    At this tiny Cypress Park counter, a chef works Portuguese family recipes with casual precision: bacalhau fritters arrive crispy-edged and tender, charred cabbage settles into white beans with Iberico pork and garlic butter, whole branzino swims in a verdant sauce of pumpkin seed and serrano. No reservations, but the bar seats offer an unobstructed view of the organized chaos that produces it.

  79. Rank 79. Agnes Restaurant & Cheesery

    American

    You enter through a cheesery lined with bottles, past owners who understand that good food begins with good cheese and wine. The open hearth commands the room while the kitchen cycles through fried chicken with sambal honey and house-made pastas that taste like they know their source.

  81. Rank 81. Manuela

    Southern

    In a stark gallery-like room within the Hauser & Wirth complex, the open kitchen channels Southern restraint through locally sourced ingredients and house-made cocktail components. Biscuits arrive warm and laminated; a roasted duck breast arrives bronzed and spare, balanced on smoked onion purée with peaches—the work of a kitchen that knows when to stop.

  82. Rank 82. Jitlada

    Southern Thai

    A strip mall on Sunset Boulevard holds a Southern Thai institution with decades of loyal devotion. The catfish salad crackles with green papaya and heat; the Taepo curry—chicken, morning glory, coconut—arrives bubbling and aromatic. Jitlada's sprawling menu suggests a place less concerned with refinement than with the sustained, unglamorous work of getting dishes right.

  84. Rank 84. 715

    Japanese

    At an eight-seat counter bathed in ambient music, chef Seigo Tamura works in concentrated silence, aging larger fish in-house and building each nigiri with Osaka-style firm rice and a whisper of sugar. The seafood arrives from Japan—monkfish liver arrives excellent, beltfish gets a char and sansho pepper—while the sake list rewards lingering over a carafe.

    Deli American

    A sprawling deli counter that has been ladling matzoh ball soup since 1947, Langer's commands booths and a national following with its encyclopedic menu of latkes, blintzes, and chopped liver. The No. 19 pastrami sandwich—Swiss cheese, coleslaw, Russian dressing—is the irreducible point.

  90. Rank 90. Providence

    Seafood

    Michael Cimarusti's tasting menu at Providence draws from pristine wild-caught seafood and classical technique, each course arriving with the fastidiousness of a jeweler arranging stones. A soft-poached egg trembling with uni, a lobster mousse tartare set in crab beurre blanc—the meal never falters in its commitment to clarity and restraint.

  98. Rank 98. Bar Etoile

    New American

    At Bar Etoile, a compact bistro on Western Avenue, Chef Travis Hayden builds a streamlined menu around what the market offers: snap peas laid over smoked ricotta with nettle gremolata, striped bass with crispy skin and salsa macha, chocolate tart brightened by passion fruit. The wine list, French-leaning and vast, matches the cooking's philosophy that good ingredients need little interference.

  99. Rank 99. Kato

    Taiwanese Chinese

    Jonathan Yao's tasting menu at Kato announces itself with conviction: fish maw arrives with crab-shell vinegar and caviar; spice-crusted duck nestles into fluffy bao; pig ears blaze with chili oil. The Row DTLA dining room, all polished concrete and open kitchen, becomes an austere stage for cooking that draws boldly from his Taiwanese roots and refuses restraint.
