Soul Food Restaurants in Los Angeles, CA

“The food is good, but the management and the staff are out of this world. Keith, Mel, and the rest of the establishment thank you. Dennis and Stacey will definitely be back.“

“I was in LA a couple of weeks ago on business and found this spot the day before leaving and that's my biggest regret. Wish we'd found it the first day we we're there I'd have been eating there everyday. The food and atmosphere are excellent and a live DJ playing music we all grew up on (can you dig it ✊?). The purple (grape) kool-aid was a blast from the past fo so.“

“customer service that's a number one thing with me and they had very good customer service skills“

“I also loved the diversity of people in the restaurant. So many different cultures coming to share a meal. Good food brings people together. Parking is difficult but you'll find it. If you're lucky, you'll see the house with the cats and chickens“

“I recently had dinner at DULAN’S with my friends and had a really enjoyable experience. The restaurant had a warm, casual, and welcoming atmosphere that made it perfect for a relaxed meal. The vibe felt comfortable, and it was a nice place to sit down and enjoy good food without any rush.

The food was flavorful and well-prepared. We ordered a mix of their popular dishes including chicken, rice, sides, and a few appetizers. Everything came out fresh and tasted home-style with good seasoning. The portions were satisfying, and the menu had a nice variety to choose from.

Service was friendly and cooperative. The staff made sure we were taken care of and checked in when needed without being intrusive.

Overall, DULAN’S offers solid comfort food with a relaxed dining experience at a reasonable price.“

“Finally!!! A soul food restaurant that gets the Mac and Cheese and Candied Yams RIGHT!!!! Excellent service from the owner to the wait staff.“

“OMG!!!!!!!!! Finally a place that serves real soul food. My rating on this place is a 10 out of 10 period. I am now dropping the mic“

“This is authentic down to the sexy owner Francesco with the beautiful accent. He made the heck out of my cappuccino with a hint of house made vanilla and cinnamon. He deftly stirred and measured all the while answering my questions just so I could hear him speak.
I also got the fritatta with zucchini and other delicious veggies. O.g! Do, savory and fluffy. They have so many items on the menu from pastas to decadent desserts and they even have imported Italian sparkling water and still. If you wanna feel transported to a country and romanticize what your taste buds are experiencing, this is the place for you. There is some seating outside and you can people watch but the star of all of this is incredible food just the way his beloved Grandmother made.“

“Our family of 5--parents + kids 22, 19 and 13--had Fatburger on our "must do" list for LA. We wanted to eat inside, but they were only serving through the drive-thru so...drive-thru it was. The wife and I don't eat beef so we each got the Fatburger w/Impossible patty. The kids got the Classic Fatburger. Fries all around of course. The car was filled with smacks, slurps and mmmms. Good burgers! Now the fries could have used more seasoning but the burgers were slappin'!“

“Nice spot upgrade desperately needed“

“Simply Wholesome is the absolute best. Healthy food. Healthy drinks. Healthy products. AND they are black owned. I love love love love this place. I have absolutely no complaints. On a scale of 1-10. Definitely 100. Yes one hundred. I visit everytime I'm in LA.“

“Great Food The Smothered Turkey Chops are my Favorite 😋😋“

“The food was great 👍🏽 I really enjoyed browsing the books on the book self. Awesome reading material !“

“Attended this restaurant for a late lunch. I enjoyed my time dining, very clean, they play Korean music. Definitely a place to bring friends or family to share food portions, I feel as if the price is justified due to the portion. Food + Drink about $40 per person. Soju berry highball is the perfect sweetness. Will come back to show my family this place 😄I really liked the kimchi! Below attached photo of bulgogi hot dish, as you may observe it's served in a traditional stone pot.

“The truth is everything. Das has the best Mac n cheese and the Ribs n Brisket are the best in the West.“

“The food was delicious and we had excellent service.“

“A great environment for excellent southern cuisine“

“I checked out Charlie's Fish N Chips. Got the Red Snapper and Shrimp combo, both deep fried. Came with Fries, a dinner roll and a salad. The Fish and Shrimp were hittin', the Fries weren't hot. Staff was cool and efficient. I would go here again 100.“

“had a good time there with a friend and I will return“

“12/10 service, 12/10 food. 5 stars doesn't even do it justice. If you're on the fence, make the jump!

4100 isn't a typical spot for me on a Sunday, but it definitely will be now that I know Nugtown will be there.

I've worked in the service industry and done local food reviews for 10 years across Detroit, Denver, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles. This is one of the standout spots, hands down. That is saying A LOT.

Hand battered chicken, everything made to order, and Mike will let you know exactly what you need without trying to upsell and swindle you.

I take my food, specifically fried chicken, very seriously and there is not one thing that I could suggest to improve. I can't wait to tell everybody!

Thank you, Mike!!“

“Got to sample the food when they were a vendor at the Afro-Latinx festival event at the MOLAA earlier this year. As I trying to determine which food vendor to support as I wanted to sample food that was reflective of the event. He didn’t have his menu prominently available so I had to asked him what he was selling, he said the magic word oxtail and I was sold. Food was delicious and there sadly was no leftovers, as I scraped it clean. Not the cheapest but the food was tasty to justify, as well as the drink/juice. Definitely would recommend and would want to try the other dishes.“
