Late Night Dining in LA

A list of the best 24-hour or super-late open restaurants and cafes.

Hoot, hoot. This is a call to all you late night owls out there. Do you ever wonder why it’s so hard to find 24 hour eateries around LA? And when you find one, you think, “jackpot!” But it’s understandable since Los Angeles is so spread apart with more cars on the streets than people.

To keep you from loitering and to save time, we compiled a list of the 12 best places to eat during the wee hours of the morning. Some are open 24 hours and others are open until 4AM—we think that’s still pretty good. Currently, late night dining options seem to trend more toward the Hollywood and Koreatown neighborhoods.
