California izakaya fare with breakfast, lunch, and dinner
"Doto is the rare all-day restaurant that you'd actually want to spend all day at. In the morning they make better lattes than most coffee shops and some of LA’s best breakfast burritos, followed by a fantastic fried chicken sandwich and bright, snappy salads at lunch. And once dinner rolls around, the hill-gazing back patio is the perfect place for a laidback friend dinner. It’s never too crowded, bottles of sake and natural wine are reasonably priced, and all of Doto’s homey izakaya-leaning entrees—like tender oxtails in Japanese curry—are easily shareable." - sylvio martins, brant cox, cathy park
"The bacon breakfast burrito at Doto is modest in size compared to some of the gargantuan bundles on this guide, but it makes up for it in sheer flavor. The crispy chunks of bacon are front and center in each bite, with scrambled eggs, stewed pintos, and molten oaxacan cheese oozing from the tortilla like it was a just-microwaved Hot Pocket. The tater tots buried inside add a nice crunch, and the creamy avocado-shiso salsa on the side is like Icy Hot for your tongue, cooling and spicy at the same time." - sylvio martins, garrett snyder
"They say jack of all trades, master of none, except Doto is genuinely good at everything. During the day, this laid-back Silver Lake spot is a laptop-friendly café that pampers you with table service, snap pea salads, and an incredible fried chicken sandwich dripping with spicy mayo. In the evenings, Doto’s quiet, hill-gazing patio is perfect for reconnecting with that old friend group you haven't seen since last Memorial Day. Dates play pass-the-sake and split homey dishes like tempura-battered fish and chips and smoky, crisp-edged char siu. You can make a reservation at Doto, but walk-ins are a breeze, too. If there's a situation that this reliable all-day restaurant isn't a shoo-in for, we've yet to find it." - brant cox, sylvio martins, cathy park, garrett snyder, cathy park, cathy park, cathy park, brant cox, sylvio martins, cathy park, brant cox, brant cox, sylvio martins, cathy park, brant cox, sylvio martins, brant cox, cathy park, brant cox, brant cox, sylvio martins, garrett snyder, sylvio martins, cathy park

"Chef Jared Dowling’s Doto brings California izakaya fare to the bright and breezy space is a fairly recent (and solid) neighborhood addition after Jewel’s closure. It’s an all-day affair, though breakfast is available daily. Try the mushroom breakfast burrito with charro beans and Oaxacan cheese, a bacon breakfast burrito with tater tots and scallions, a patty melt with egg and beef patty with Mammoth Bakery milk bread, and a Spanish-style tortilla with togarashi aioli." - Mona Holmes
