Have you tried Aussie Pie Kitchen?
They just opened up a new location in Hollywood (down the block from Jitlada), tempted to try.

Thanks for putting that on my radar! looks pretty good. Iāll have to check it out one weekend soon!
Have been meaning to try it, will detour one of these days to their SM location. How do you find it?
I go to Mush Bakery down the street on Sunset for boreks.
I really like the SM one (Iāve never been to the Hollywood one). Lamb might be a TOO gamey for my taste, though. Iāve not tried Garloās, so I canāt compare.
So that means thereās at least 4 aussie pie places in LA/OC (Pie-Not, Aussie Pie Kitchen, Garloās, and Bronzed Aussie). Maybe @Chowseeker1999 should do a report. Hee, hee.
BTW, your description of Westwood as a high-end food court is quite aptā¦ And then thereās the ACTUAL high-end food court at the Century City mall, if youāre in the mood for some fantastic people watchingā¦
@CiaoBob have you been recently? OC Yamadaya is basically inedible these days.
Bella Pita on Westwood Blvd closed (not sure how long ago) so now there is only the one on Gayley.
And the sad thing is the food in Westwood seems better than it has been in recent years, it has been bad for a long time.
Oh, I think high-end food court is great for a college area (not joking).
I never knew the āoldā Westwood. Seems like such a shame that things never picked up after the shooting(s?). Who knows? Perhaps the Purple Line ext will helpā¦ in like 20 yrs. ::sigh::
Hahahahahaha! So trueā¦
I was actually at the WWV Shophouse last night myself. Couple of tips to enhance your meal. First, if you havenāt already, make sure to try the meatballs. Theyāre my favorite protein on the menu by far. Second, do āhalf and halfā bowls. I like to combine half rice and half salad. I also sometimes get half green beans and half some other vegetable like collards.
Been about a year.
When the more high end clothing stores went out in the late 80ās and then the Bullockās closed, I think that spelled the end for the more upscale eating establishments. Westwood in the 60ās and 70ās was a mixed bag. There was stuff that catered to the college kids, but there were lots of stores that appealed to, or were useful to the families that lived in the area. It just wasnāt movie theaters and a bunch of junky stores. Donāt know if Westwood will ever capture its past glory.
Here is my daily WW budget food lineup:
Ikeās for sandwiches
Enzoās
TLT
Fresh Corn Grill (worth the slight walk south of Wilshire and more expensive than the others)
800 Degrees
Lamonicas
Corner Bakery (not fantastic but occasionally go there to change things up)
Noodle Planet
In n Out
Fatburger
Great list! One minor quibble: I donāt think Fresh Corn Grill is more expensive than TLT or Ikeās. Sandwiches at all three places are around $9-$10.
I always thought thatās what burritos were for? =P
Thatās good pizza right there.

Pies are more versatile IMO. The crust helps to preserve it. Carried some around for a couple of days while traveling in England, tasted fine when I reheated them. No dysentery or food poisoning . Try brown bagging a burrito down a coal mine ā¦
