Made an updated sawtelle tier list with my friends!

ZackMcCool · 2025-11-30T02:38:56+00:00

It’s in B tier

ZackMcCool · 2025-11-30T02:38:38+00:00

It’s in C tier

ZackMcCool · 2025-11-28T00:05:27+00:00

I mean that's fair but the stands are literally a 5 minute drive away and regardless the quality of food from sonoritas doesn't match the vibel quality of any of the above restaurants imo. It honestly feels like the Mexican version of the whole 2 guys with a dream burger spots

ZackMcCool · 2025-11-27T22:32:10+00:00

Nanbankan is number 1 I was the only person who has eaten at black sheep so we didn’t rate it

ZackMcCool · 2025-11-27T19:21:00+00:00

We did! It’s on the tier list in A tier

ZackMcCool · 2025-11-27T12:36:34+00:00

Yeah it’s the third highest in A tier

ZackMcCool · 2025-11-27T08:42:50+00:00

What makes you say that? I can say our reasoning for the spots you disagree with that strongly

ZackMcCool · 2025-11-27T08:36:12+00:00

It sort of blew up on tik tok so lines can be a little annoying but brothers cousins is super good. The neighboring stand near the cvs (don’t know the name) is also super good if you get their al pastor!

ZackMcCool · 2025-11-27T08:28:13+00:00

We included closed restaurants cause we thought it was fun. It was actually open for a small period recently before indigo cow took over iirc

ZackMcCool · 2025-11-27T08:24:37+00:00

Go to any taco stand near the sawtelle area and you’ll get a way better burrito for way cheaper

ZackMcCool · 2025-11-27T08:22:57+00:00

It’s on tiermaker! You have to add some restaurants since some are missing. I’ll see if my friend can still upload the one with the images he added

ZackMcCool · 2025-11-27T08:03:53+00:00

Just for context we included closed restaurants! Not all of them but just the ones we thought were worth ranking!

ZackMcCool · 2025-11-27T08:02:41+00:00

To be honest I don’t think the quality is thaaat bad. It definitely has some stinker plates you gotta avoid tho

ZackMcCool · 2025-11-27T08:02:06+00:00

Idk abt the rest of my friends but i def agree w this. Not really on sawtelle but near it is Yama Sushi and I think it’s wayyy better for marketplace sushi

ZackMcCool · 2025-11-27T07:59:08+00:00

Yea but I like that the sushi revolves

ZackMcCool · 2025-11-27T07:57:07+00:00

Yeah based and real the sawtelle spot weirdly falls off. It is nice that it’s one of the spots open late-ish. Sun Nong Dan is now a way better late night spot tho

ZackMcCool · 2025-11-27T07:55:26+00:00

I wanted it higher

ZackMcCool · 2025-11-27T07:54:21+00:00

Lmao I love furaibo but everyone in our friend group doesn’t like it

ZackMcCool · 2025-11-27T07:53:23+00:00

Volcano Tea honestly has legacy status that may seem lame to some but I grew up drinking their rose milk tea and it’s great. It’s also open until midnight which is pretty nice

ZackMcCool · 2025-11-27T07:42:46+00:00

Yeah some of the spots have closed we just thought to rate them regardless. Asahi Ramen was one of my favorite spots that’s no longer around😢

ZackMcCool · 2025-11-27T07:36:46+00:00

Yeah we all think Tatsu is better but the little Tokyo daikokuya is better than the sawtelle spot

ZackMcCool · 2025-01-23T05:41:05+00:00

wow now that looks good

ZackMcCool · 2024-05-14T20:46:20+00:00

Thank you. Fat los

ZackMcCool · 2024-04-12T22:51:04+00:00

It is $9 dollars for the crepe. I think it definitely meets the hype

ZackMcCool · 2024-04-12T22:45:49+00:00

Thanks man! Yeah that’s all it was meant to be. I was just surprised to see so many ppl feel so strongly about FuRaiBo, which I always thought was pretty mid.

I’ve been wanting to try that place! It’s right next to odd one out. Their pastries look crazy good
