The layout is high contrast, designed photo collages of menu items adding to a congenial but somewhat impersonal vibe. It seems equally balanced between its noodle soups and its other fare, so a Special Appetizer Platter seems a good starter... -<div class="item_footer"><p><small>Dining in L.A. is originally scribbled on <a href="http://www.dininginla.com/">DiningInLA.com</a>, powered by <a href="http://b2evolution.net/">b2evolution</a>.</small></p></div>

You may have passed Antonio's dozens of times. Yet it's been there for decades, as the sea of photos featuring celebrities posing with the handsome, mustachioed Antonio Gutierrez will attest... -<div class="item_footer"><p><small>Dining in L.A. is originally scribbled on <a href="http://www.dininginla.com/">DiningInLA.com</a>, powered by <a href="http://b2evolution.net/">b2evolution</a>.</small></p></div>

On an empty Sunday, though, it's good times. The kitchen has more time to give some love to its pub-food-inflected Cajun menu... -<div class="item_footer"><p><small>Dining in L.A. is originally scribbled on <a href="http://www.dininginla.com/">DiningInLA.com</a>, powered by <a href="http://b2evolution.net/">b2evolution</a>.</small></p></div>

Small plates will quickly fill every centimeter of your table.<div class="item_footer"><p><small>Dining in L.A. is originally scribbled on <a href="http://www.dininginla.com/">DiningInLA.com</a>, powered by <a href="http://b2evolution.net/">b2evolution</a>.</small></p></div>

The owner, Julie, and one or two women with arm tats and spritely dresses bustling and hurrying in this space. They do coffee, naturally, almost as a rebuttal to the eternally long line of Intelligentsia down on Sunset... -<div class="item_footer"><p><small>Dining in L.A. is originally scribbled on <a href="http://www.dininginla.com/">DiningInLA.com</a>, powered by <a href="http://b2evolution.net/">b2evolution</a>.</small></p></div>

Cole's has a different vibe, more restaurant/saloon oriented; you can get a can of Schlitz or a dram of Auchentoshan 10-year single malt... -<div class="item_footer"><p><small>Dining in L.A. is originally scribbled on <a href="http://www.dininginla.com/">DiningInLA.com</a>, powered by <a href="http://b2evolution.net/">b2evolution</a>.</small></p></div>
