The Best Restaurants for Lunch in Los Angeles, According to Eater Editors
"Sang Yoon’s decade-plus effort to open an all-day cafe and bakery has finally come to fruition, opening in November 2024 to big crowds that have mostly settled down. The idea is to offer fresh pastries, breads, and prepared foods throughout the morning and into lunch so that there’s always something new to enjoy. Most flavors will hew to classic American, touching on international influences here and there like gimbap. The sandwiches and hot plates are the best move for lunch, tender but thick-cut pastrami smoked in house and placed between two pieces of house-baked bread. Carb fans should raid the pastry area for sweet and savory specialties, like croissants and pies, to share at the table. Eating here is a real choose-your-own-adventure, potentially a little headspinning but that’s half the fun." - Matthew Kang
