Need help, something cheap and out of the ordinary

Hello All,

I am looking for a great, reasonably priced and original place in the area around wilshire and la cienega. Looking to spend $15/person or so...Any suggestions?? Thank you!

  1. Have you had Korean soon tofu? Going to Sokongdong or Beverly Soon Tofu would be my suggestion.

    1. would that be including beverage, tax, and tip?

      1. re: westsidegal

        It will be maybe $8 for the soon tofu and a couple of dollars for the drink so you should easily be at or under your $15 limit out the door.

          Just to tempt you a little further here is a photo attached of some soon tofu in it's little pot waiting to make your forehead sweat and your taste buds sing.

            And don't forget to crack the egg into the pot while it's still bubbling! Mmm... self-poached eggs...

            Soon tofu is cool because you choose the protein that goes in it. I like seafood, but my brother always just springs for beef.

      2. How about Messob on Fairfax below Olympic? Good, inexpensive Ethiopian fare.

          Or Rahel, right down the street a few feet. HEr all you can eat lunch buiffet is supposedly good. I only have gone for dinner, and you can easily stuff yourself for less than $15 per person. BYOB!
