I just arrived from Sacramento at LAX, and will be waiting a few hours for my sister before we head to Santa Monica for a few days to see my brother.
What’s best to eat at LAX these days? I seem to remember good Ramen and pretty good sashimi.

In Santa Monica ; Is it still dumpling week! We had good dumplings at Dan Modern Chinese
Delicious pickled cucumbers and handmade pan fried
Xiao long bao; spicy pork
Shrimp and pork chili oil
Brunch reservation at Fig tomorrow
Fig in the Fairmont Hotel - the hotel is good but the restaurant is just OK. If you have a car you have many options available relatively close by, e.g. Gjelina is always worth a trip
Enjoyed Fig and the beautiful people.
Egg bennis (one with crab cake, one traditional)
“Frittata” with smoked salmon
Pancakes , sausage
Good food, great atmosphere and service.
Lots of fog this morning in Santa Monica this morning, no sign of smoke.
Roti for lunch
We found a parking space, had a great time, and I especially enjoyed the branzini.
Ravioli and shrimp
Turkey, avocado, bacon
Branzino
We also went to Erewhon
and a great Persian market!
Check out FTC. Much more active community for LA stuffs.
Just “visiting”. I live in " California elsewhere".
I had really nice chilaquiles at Fig for brunch, 7 or 8 years ago. Nice outdoor seating when the weather is nice.
My sister struggled to decide between the chilaquiles and the frittata, and later commented “a frittata is not a frittata without potatoes and onions”.
I mentioned they might mean a Spanish tortilla to her, and my brother who agreed, and they said they learned it from me!
The answer, in my experience, is usually order both LOL.
I often do the half and half with my brunching companions.
When I used to do brunch with some Toronto Chowhounds, we would often order every brunch main on the menu, and share them family style.
Had I noticed this thread in a timely manner, I would have suggested heading over to the Sawtelle area and following your nose for Japanese. Sawtelle has always had a pretty large Japanese American community, and the restaurants reflect that. Of course, it’s been well over 30 years since I’ve spent any time in the area, and a google search shows that the area has changed (gentrified?) quite a bit, but it still seems to be an ethnic conclave of sorts.
Sorry for being late to the party!
