Asian restaurant · Sheridan
"Drawing from chef Diane Moua’s fine dining pastry background and Hmong cultural roots, Diane’s Place respectfully elevates Hmong comfort food. For brunch, savor the buttery flakiness of a Spam and nori breakfast croissant or the warmth of hand-made sticky rice noodles drenched in chicken broth. The dinner menu, on the other hand, steps away from pastries, instead highlighting Hmong flavors and ingredients, such as the herbaceous and tender duck soup, or the sour fermented pork ribs with lime leaf." - Macy-Chau Tran
Restaurant · Sheridan
"Named after Van Vinai refugee camp in Thailand where chef Yia Vang was born, this upscale Hmong restaurant serves elegant Hmong American food. Vang uses food to pay homage to his culture, family, and history. The result is a playful menu of thoughtful Hmong classics (chicken coconut curry) and American classics infused with Hmong sensibilities (deviled eggs, New York strip, larb carpaccio)." - Macy-Chau Tran
Shopping mall · Dayton's Bluff
"This bustling indoor market offers Hmong dishes that soothe homesickness and quell cold winters. From classic dishes like pork sausage and boat noodles to more niche offerings like fermented crab papaya salad, stuffed chicken wings, and pounded sticky rice, Hmong Village is your one-stop, must-eat destination for exploring a variety of Hmong specialties." - Macy-Chau Tran
South Asian restaurant · Maplewood
"For Hmong comfort food, Elephant Thai Cuisine is your next destination. Here, the menu highlights are the dishes you might normally see in a Hmong home kitchen: bitter melon soup, khao poon (rice noodles with curry), and Hmong chicken boiled soup. There’s also chicken feet larb on the menu — an uncommon option at most Southeast Asian restaurants." - Macy-Chau Tran
Restaurant · Maplewood
"Unison is an iconic gathering space for the Hmong community to celebrate, party, and most importantly, eat. Try the pork belly larb and fried pork intestines, then end your night with a karaoke song and a glass of naab vaam, a Hmong-style sweetened coconut milk and jelly dessert drink." - Macy-Chau Tran
Mexican restaurant · Ojai
"Ojai (and frankly, much of Los Angeles) seems to have caught on to Radio Roma, Ojai’s mezcal bar and hi-fi listening room that spins vinyl all night. Attached to Taco Roma, which opens for lunch, Radio Roma comes alive at night as guests settle in with glasses of chilled red wine or frozen palomas. The star of the menu may actually be the churros, freshly fried and sliced in thirds with a dollop of whipped cream and slashes of dulce de leche. Nostalgia twinges with the arrival of these cinnamon-sugar-dusted sticks, whether your first memories of them were at Costco, Disneyland, or a churreria cart on the street. Radio Roma’s churros encapsulate that feeling with each bite as the sounds of Italo disco or synth-pop drift through the dim room. — Rebecca Roland, deputy editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest" - Matthew Kang
Armenian restaurant · Glendale Galleria
"After a multi-hour trip to Costco, a larger meal than just a food court hot dog was in order. I set my sights on Glendale’s excellent (and very small) Armenian kebab spot, Mini Kabob. Operated by Armen Martirosyan and his parents Ovakim and Alvard, this may be among the best kebab spots in greater Los Angeles. The “mini” part of its name rings true when approaching the shop, located off a side street just a block from the Galleria. Peering through the doorway where a greeting table is set up, you can usually spot Armen behind the grill, deftly flipping meats and passing them on to the rest of the team to be assembled into plates with rice, hummus, and blistered vegetables. There’s no way to go wrong here, though smart orderers may go for the beef shish kebab and combo, which has chicken thigh, chicken breast, and ground pork kebab. Each plate comes piled with seasoned rice and flame-licked meat, served with thin lavash and garlic sauce for dipping. This may be the only garlic sauce in Los Angeles I like more than Zankou Chicken, and that’s saying a lot. — Rebecca Roland, editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest" - Matthew Kang
