Sawtelle
About
Sawtelle is the stretch of Sawtelle Blvd in West LA roughly between Olympic and Santa Monica Blvd. It grew up as a Japanese American neighborhood, hence 'Sawtelle Japantown,' and is now a strip of ramen, matcha, desserts, izakaya and Asian shops, with lines at dinnertime. Parking is tight; street spots and small lots are luck of the draw.
Jasmine says
Ramen, matcha, desserts, izakayas.
Sawtelle is the Westside's everyday Japan,
and Asian-food lovers fall for it on the first visit.
There's always a line at dinnertime,
but everyone in it is happy to wait.
Asian food, matcha and a chill Westside everyday.
