Food Scene

This is an amazing dumpling (and other stuff!) place on Sawtelle - one of the best retaurants there. There is no sign on the door, but don't miss it. FYI they don't serve alcohol but the crab fried rice, sauteed broc w/ mushrooms, and fried dumplings are to die for!

Amazing ramen!! You order off of an ipod stuck to the wall. Delicious + one of the only ramen places I've found with great vegetarian/non-pork options. It gets busy, but it's delish.

Great sushi and great environment - they have a big fire pit outside w/ a countertop all around it so that you can sit around the fire to eat your meal.

Super fun and weird and very crowded, but worth it for the experience. This is a revolving sushi bar that just went through a high-tech renovation. Sushi spins around the restaurant on a belt, and you can order special items off the screen at your table. Very quirky and fun. All dishes are $2.25!
