345 "Casual Weeknight Dinner" restaurants in Los Angeles.
A good casual weeknight dinner spot is hard to find. It’s a step above a make-your-own bowl place, but not somewhere you’ll need a reservation. It shouldn’t be too expensive, you should be able to talk instead of shout, and your dinner shouldn’t take more than an hour. These spots do it all.
Mh Zh is a Mediterranean spot in Sunset Junction and home to some of the prettiest (and most delicious) food you’ll find on the Eastside.
Lodge Bread Co. is the best bakery in Culver City. And one of the best casual places to eat in all of Los Angeles.
Night + Market Song is the second location of LA’s best Thai restaurant, and it’s every bit as good as the original.
Mapo Galbi’s signature dish, the dak galbi, is one of our favorite meals in Koreatown - and all of LA, for that matter.
Zam Zam Market is a tiny Pakistani market that serves excellent meat and rice dishes in Hawthorne - an eight-minute drive from LAX.
Belle Vie is a casual French bistro in Brentwood that’s going to be your new neighborhood hangout (even if you’re not a local).

As a general rule, sushi joints attached to fast food burger chain should probably be avoided. Unless that place is Got Sushi? in Northridge.
