Going on a trip to LA in a few weeks. Which (budget friendly) places do I have to eat at? Suggestions please!

I'm taking a trip to LA, and I'm staying at Fountain Avenue and North La Brea Avenue. I want to try as much good, budget friendly as possible during the eight days that I am there.

This is my list so far:

Ricky's Fish Tacos
1400 N Virgil Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90027

Mitsuwa (Japanese food court)
21515 S. Western Avenue, Torrance, CA 90501

Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles (for the food, and novelty)
1214 N Gower St, Los Angeles, CA 90038, USA

Based on where you're staying, unless you have a specific reason to go to the one in Torrance, the Mitsuwa on Centinela at Venice is much closer.

Thanks! I'll check out the link. But if you're answering questions...

I love all things Asian. Do you have any recommendations from budget friendly Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese?

I also want to find some great hole in the walls.

Is there an area or neighborhood you are looking for? Lots of good ramen all over West LA now.
