Re: Moving to Westwood soon. Which restaurants should I visit?
There are so many good food spots in Westwood! If you're looking for super casual places to go to, some staple restaurants are Cava, Ami, Tocaya, and In n Out. Also cant forget about Diddy Riese.

Saffron & Rose ice cream is a really good dessert spot on Westwood Blvd!

Diddy Riece is okay, I don't think its worth the hype (oops I said it), but have in mind its cash only! Also if you'r e moving to Westwood, you have to at least go once to Fat Sal's!!

Tsujita Ramen and Nong La are restaurants that I order from occasionally. I'm not sure about any boba places, but Junbi is a cool matcha themed joint if you're looking for some good drinks.

Poquito Mas is a little farther away from campus, but they have good Mexican food there (especially because the tortillas are really delicious and made there in the place).

Sharetea is always good for boba! Fat Sal's is definitely a UCLA classic, and Nick the Greek opened a few months ago and is also really good :)

There's only like one Olive Garden in the area, and it's inside of a mall! But I would definitely recommend it, especially when they have unlimited pasta.

My favorites are Pinches Tacos, Tocaya, and Ami Sushi! If you drive down you can go to the Century City Mall and get Eataly or Din Tai Fung!

I recommend Mochi Dochi!! It's a Korean hot dog restaurant in Sawtelle which is only 10-15 minutes away from campus :)
Re: Moving to Westwood soon. Which restaurants should I visit?
I'm definitely going to look these up too!

My favorites are Tocaya, Fat Sal's, and Pinches Tacos. In n Out also comes in clutch late at night. Diddy Riese is a classic so you definitely have to try it at least once (I personally don't think its that amazing but they definitely have good prices), and I also like to get pizookies from BJs.

Hi!
I'm sure many people have already put this name into the hat but Northern Cafe Dumpling House on Gayley has the best pork potstickers and soup dumplings! And their prices and portions are fair as well.

Junbi! They specialize in matcha drinks but I always get an earl grey milk tea with almond jelly (which is house made and incredibly delicious).

Diddy Riese and BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse
Re: Moving to Westwood soon. Which restaurants should I visit?
I love Ami and Kazu Nori for sushi! Ministry of Coffee is good for healthy breakfast food and coffee.
Re: Moving to Westwood soon. Which restaurants should I visit?
If you're a sushi fan I recommend KazuNori!! They mainly do handrolls and their fish is so fresh, definitely one of my favorites when I'm feeling a bit fancy :D
