Message: | OK, I was being lazy and forgetful on the above post. The Chinese restaurant is called Sun Palace, and the number is 465-7181 (all numbers are 323 area code).
About a block further up Vine, at Yucca, is Chao Praya (466-6704), which at least used to be a pretty good Thai restaurant, and probably still is. Across Hollywood boulevard from the Pantages is a Subway (probably not what you had in mind), and a place called El Incendo, which looks to be mid-to-upscale restaurant. There's no number in the phone book I have; maybe another Chowhound knows if they're even open.
Don't know why I neglected to look right around the corner, more-or-less, from where I live: the very short block between Bronson and Tamarind on Franklin is a veritable stack o' independent restaurants, sometimes, you can even find street parking: La Poubelle (465-0807); Tai Yo (don't have the number); Prizzi's (pizza, I'd guess) (no number); and Wings (chicken is my supposition) (again, no number -- blame Pacific Bell's so-called "smart" Yellow Pages).
Around the corner, on Tamarind, is Victor's, sort of an upscale coffee shop, and its adjacent delicatessen. There's no seating at the deli, but a parking lot for both. Try 464-0275, wehich seems to be the deli but they'd have the number for the restaurant. Incidentally, there's a "For sale" sign on the property, which is a real tragedy. |
