Night Market Song Silver Lake

www.nightmarketsong.com

sum up: Straight outta Thailand, Chef Kris Yenbamroong's second Night+Market (song=two) brings his funky, fresh fare to the Eastside. Eclectic and fun, this Silver Lake spot suits Yenbamroong's food better than the OG Sunset Strip locale. Song is all about full-body spice, where your eyes water, your nose runs, and your skin sweats. Forget the master cleanse; Song rids your body of toxins while filling your belly with bomb-ass grub.

Wedgwood Broiler   Wedgwood

www.wedgwoodbroiler.com

sum up: You've seen Wedgwood Broiler before...even if you've never been. More than a restaurant, this is a snapshot of middle America, a time warp to the 60's, a simple slice of nostalgia. Here, the portions are big, the menu features standbys like Shrimp Louie and Chicken Fried Steak, and the waitresses are uniformed in polyester. Familiar tastes so good. 

looks: It's Throwback Everyday at the Broiler. While the restaurant's decor recalls Sizzler, the 21-and-over lounge is more Swingers, with wood-paneled walls, textured fabric booths, and maroon vinyl captain's chairs at the bar.

sum up: This hub of hand-pulled noodles packs a glutenous punch. With delectable dumplings too, get your Chinese fix for under $10.

looks: Designed for fast eating, not lingering, this bare-bones spot doesn't bother with decor, save for the neon, steaming soup sign that lures diners inside.
