LA Restaurants That Are Perfect For Walk-Ins

"We once called Found Oyster the sexiest restaurant in America and clearly lots of people agree. This American seafood spot in East Hollywood is still very popular, and it no longer takes reservations. That means seats are in high demand and you need a game plan. We suggest showing up around 5pm (noon on weekends) if you don't want to wait an hour for a dreamy scallop tostada. On the bright side, you'll eventually find yourself at one of LA's best restaurants, complete with a behemoth of a seafood tower and anchovy-topped chicken schnitzel. So rather than passing on the opportunity to eat that (please don't), head to nearby Akbar or El Cid for drinks until your table is ready. " - nikko duren, sylvio martins, brant cox
