Moving to Westwood soon. Which restaurants should I visit?

[lauren_tran_1L]

Like in the title! Looking for restaurant/boba/dessert places to try when I move!

[Kiana Tashakori 1D]

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.

[StephanieGrigorian2J]

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

[Karen Zheng_2K]

Highly recommend Gushi, Bibibop if it's still there, and Sharetea!

[Naomi Hernandez-Ramirez 1J]

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!!

[Yu Jin Kwon 3L]

I heard Fat Sal's is a UCLA classic :DD!! I've never been but the sandwiches look AMAZING

[Megan ODonnell 3F]

I love Cava, Ami Sushi, Kazunori, and ItsBobaTime has really good boba!

[TiffanyBrownfield 2I]

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.

[Marco Vivar 3G]

In and Out is the go to best place IMO

[Katy Austin 1K]

Tacos tu Madre!

[Katy Austin 1K]

Tacos tu Madre!

[Mahi Kabra 2F]

Cava, Gushi, Native Foods, and Tocaya are SO good :))

[magalysantos_1F]

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).

[Ismar Zamora]

In and Out!

[Daria Obukhova 2B]

Northern Cafe on Gayley Ave. is super good!

[alexandralopez 3F]

Definitely Ami, if you like sushi!

[Katie_Dinh_1D]

Highly recommend Marugame udon! It's a little farther away from campus, but definitely worth it

[Kaiya_PT_1H]

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 :)

[almost_ethan]

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.

[Chesca Legaspi 2E]

Pinches Tacos and Northern Cafe are two of my absolute faves!!

[Lindsey_Su_3A]

B Sweet is literally the best dessert place. Definitely recommend!!

[Emma_Barrall_3J]

Ami is my favorite for sushi in westwood!

[Nicolette Simoni 3L]

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!

[Kaitlyn Hernandez 3I]

I recommend Mochi Dochi!! It's a Korean hot dog restaurant in Sawtelle which is only 10-15 minutes away from campus :)

[Jada3J]

I'm definitely going to look these up too!

[Jalyn Davis 3D]

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.

[Devan Nathu - 2H]

For boba... Meet Fresh and Boba Time have done me well! Milk Tea w/ Black Sugar Boba! *chef's kiss"

[josephspindler2H]

These are some great suggestions. I can't wait to go back to UCLA and give some of these a try.

[Lorena_Morales_1K]

meet fresh boba! a little bit on the pricey side but their boba is pretty bomb :)

[tholz11]

Cava and Pinches are my favorites! The new meetfresh that just opened is also great

[005137088]

Definitely have to try Cava and Tacos Tu Madre

[005137088]

Everything in Westwood is good honestly you should eat at some of the Persian restaurants in the neighborhood.

[Violet Mbela 2B]

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.

[405509920]

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).

[Minh Nguyen 3H]

Diddie Riese is always good for a quick, cheap dessert.

[Wilson Zheng 1L]

Diddy Riese has some of the best cookies and ice cream to date! Plus, it's cheap!

[Arpita Padhy 3E]

I need to save this thread and use all of these suggestions lol, thanks for the great recommendations guys.

[Eduarda Diniz 2B]

Diddy Riese and BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse

[sophiavmr]

I love Ami and Kazu Nori for sushi! Ministry of Coffee is good for healthy breakfast food and coffee.

[Alyssa H]

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

[Windell Viste 1K]

Gushi yassss, it's near campus

[Kayla Ziebell 1H]

Tocaya is a must its so good!

[Arad_Badiee_2B]

Go to Falafel inc. Their falafel sandwiches are pretty good!

[Emily Wu 2G]

ami sushi, serve up to the hype

[Giselle Simmons 2D]

I'm a pretty big fan of Rita's Gate of India.

[Sara Dolmo 2J]

Wow I've been in the dorms for a while and I still haven't explored Westwood, will definitely be trying these places! thank you guys!
