What’s your current favorite place to dine solo in LA < $100?

Americas - USA West Los Angeles
10

Don’t think I’d get close to $100 alone, so:

Dune, Proof, Tacos Villa Corona in Atwater
Mariscos Jalisco, La Unica, Pizzanista, Art + Fish, Dry River Brewing near the East LA Interchange
Tacos Don Cuco, Los Originales Tacos Arabes further East/SE

If you’ve specifically got money to burn, though, you could do a lot worse than a burger and a really damn fine whiskey or three at Everyone Royce Bar.

The Boston lettuce salad and the bread. I could live on those. Also, the mussels, any fish, the tartare, and of course, l’omellete:

Edit: I forgot to mention the ham and butter sandwich, which is the best sandwich in Los Angeles.

, I have this wonderful dining companion. The burgers, beer and service are great. However they don’t have heating on the deck so its been a while since we have been there. Well under $100.

Adding to your (nice) list:

Iki Ramen (Ktown)
Ham Ji Park (Ktown)
Cafe Angelino (by Cedars-SInai)
Shaherzad (Tehrangeles)
Kiriko Sushi (Sawtelle)

further east: Most of the Asian restaurants in the SGV will be within budgetary striking range. Northern Cafe (Monterey Park), Taipei Bistro or Kingburg Kitchen (both in San Gabriel), Borneo Kalimantan (Alhambra).

Petit Trois whenever they reopen for inside dining.

I would not dine solo at Chi Spacca again. Even for two people the portions are huge. Really best with four.

Actually, I’m happy to eat anywhere solo, with one exception – Chinese restaurants that only have gigantic round tables with white tablecloths. Then I do feel a little awkward. But I’ve done it many times anyway.
