I heard of Rosco Chicken and Waffles from Jackie Chan film Rush Hour. It most popular there and Chicken and Waffels restaurants also in San Francisco bay area too.
Laura
Rosco's is great. There's a good Brazilian restaurant on Sunset called Bossa Nova that I always take visitors to - they have delicious meat and veggie skeweres, and my fav pasta is called "Rafael's"
Fo sushi tri Yu-N-Mi in Beverly Hills, best creative rolls I've ever had.
Have fun!
p.s. my personal opinion is Sprinkles is highly overrated: $6 is too much for a cupcake, even a good one. Sorry, JC
If you like Lebanese food, I high recommend Raffi's Place in Glendale 211 E Broadway.
Coming to the OC?
-Tokyo Table
-85c - the only one in the US, although expect inflated prices...nothing like 85c Taiwan prices ;)
-California Fish Grill
-Wheel of Life
-GG's Cafe Bistro
I'm in Taipei but I'm from LA. Have you ever tried Cha Cha Cha's? It's Caribbean food, and I believe there's a couple locations (one in Long Beach, one in LA, etc). Oh my gosh, it's to die for! I can just taste their jerk chicken right now.
There a Cha Cha Cha in San Francisco Haight Ashbury Neighborhood and always packs and party like in there. Great Mojito cocktails.
Steve
I really like this place called Animal, and I have pictures to show for it!

Wow! This is an awesome blog, thanks for all the information!
I am an Indian who just landed in Taipei, and feel lucky to have found your blog through google. Will surely try to eat around according to your guides.
Hey, also, do you by any chance know about an online food delivering service in Taipei, like this one from Shanghai - http://www.mealbay.com.cn/? This was a great help to me in Shanghai when I was too tired to go out.
Thanks again, and keep up the great work.
Cheers,
Ankur

anonymous/laura: haha.. yes, rosco chicken and waffles is definitely an experience.. last visit was a few years ago
leslie: mm.. bossa nova sounds good. i love brazilian bbq. and yes, i'm not a huge fan of sprinkles either. my fav cupcakes are from auntie em's in eagle rock

anonymous/steve: good to know! thanks!
kevcheng: Yes! Animal is totally on my list. thanks for reminding me
ankur: thanks! hope you find some good eats. i don't know of any delivery service- wish there were some. a lot of places themselves do deliver, but it's hard to find info in english.. i try to include it when possible. let me know if you ever find one!

I'd avoid Kogi!
I'd say, depending on your budget:
Torihei
Church and State
Ludobites
Animal
Bazaar
And frankly, you shouldn't leave here unless you had some taco trucks (Not sure if you're a native LA person). Let me know what sort of food you're interested in.....West LA has a few nice izakaya places too like Nanbankan!
AOC Wine Bar! Grab some friends/family and munch away on fantastic small plates & charcuterie.
Enjoy your stay!
Mastro's for the best steaks.
Located in Costa Mesa near South Coast Plaza in the OC.
Quite worthwhile piece of writing, lots of thanks for the article.
