These are area and cuisine guides, not live restaurant rankings. They point you to neighborhoods and food districts known for great eating — use them as a starting point and check current hours, menus and prices before you go.
It depends on what you're craving — Koreatown for Korean BBQ, the San Gabriel Valley for Chinese, Little Tokyo and Sawtelle for Japanese, Boyle Heights and the Eastside for tacos, and Silver Lake, Highland Park and the Arts District for trendy cafes and coffee.
It helps, since LA's best food is spread across many neighborhoods. Some areas like Downtown, Koreatown and Santa Monica are walkable once you arrive, but rideshare or a car makes neighborhood-hopping much easier.
