West Los Angeles, also known as Sawtelle Japantown, is an unpretentious, freeway-adjacent neighborhood celebrated for its Japanese eateries and shops. This eclectic district offers indie theatres, vintage diners, and one of LA's favorite culinary areas, "Little, Little Tokyo" in Sawtelle. The walkable stretch of Sawtelle Boulevard offers sushi, ramen, and shaved ice, plus karaoke and Tokyo-inspired gifts. Tucked in between Brentwood, Santa Monica and Westwood, West LA/Palms is centrally located and just a short drive to UCLA. This neighborhood is known for its culturally diverse culinary options and diverse architectural styles.
