"The complex on Sawtelle and La Grange Avenue saw some solid newcomers in 2023 including 10 Speed Coffee, Coco Ichibanya Sawtelle, and Hunan specialist Dongting Noodle. Dongting’s signature beef noodle soup comes with a bit of heat, but anyone can amp up the spice upon request. Also check out the restaurant’s extensive offal menu with tripe, pork trotters, and chicken gizzards." - Matthew Kang, Mona Holmes
