4 Hollywood Restaurants Ranked Among 38 Best In LA County

HOLLYWOOD, CA — Eater recently released its most recent listing of the 38 best restaurants in Los Angeles County, which includes four eateries in Hollywood.

The food publication offers an updated version of its top-38 rundown each quarter — which it terms a list of "essential" restaurants, from fine dining institutions to mom-and-pop gems.

"At its core, the city’s far-flung neighborhoods, cultures, and flavors coalesce into an array of culinary boundary-bending restaurants that make it undeniably the most compelling place to dine in the country," Eater wrote.

Hollywood is well represented in Eater's list:

Roasted Duck by Pa Ord — Thai Town

"The namesake dish permeates all sections of the menu: served with golden grains of fried rice, submerged in soup or herbaceous green curry, studded with bright chiles and basil leaves, and nestled alongside jade noodles and sauces."

Budonoki — Virgil Village

"When longtime pop-up Budonoki went permanent in September 2023, Angelenos quickly realized something special had opened in Virgil Village. The dimly lit izakaya from partners Eric Bedroussian, Dan Rabilwongse, and Josh Hartley emanates a certain cool that’s hard to manufacture."

Linden — Sunset Boulevard and Tamarind Avenue

"Dishes tell the story of how the Caribbean, Italian, and Jewish diasporas commingle in New York — a centerpiece wagyu pie brims with oxtails and gravy under a puffed 'patty' pastry lid; prawns and polenta pool in a spicy arrabbiata cream sauce; a bread basket course features an oversized everything bagel with salty fried chicken butter. "

Musso & Frank Grill — Hollywood Boulevard and Cherokee Avenue

"There’s something about the pageantry of uniformed waiters and bartenders wearing white or red jackets; their skill and dedication are why management embroiders the number of years employed on their shirt cuffs. They gracefully move throughout the room with intention, always in a hurry to make diners feel important while dropping off a glass of pinot noir or baked escargot, crab Louie, filet of sand dabs, or an expertly cooked prime rib."
