If you go to UCLA and want to get out of Westwood, Versailles on Venice is the place to go. Get the #6! The chicken is delicious and savory. You pay only $9.99 but you'll have dinner for the next few days! Its a great place to take a friend, or for group events, and its even a great place to take a date! You won't be disappointed!
Pros: Absolutely delicious food, dim lighting makes for a great date place!
Cons: Parking can be difficult sometimes, but its LA!

We celebrated my friend's birthday there on a Friday night. The table was reserved for 15 people. When I arrived it was pleasantly crowded and the live band was not playing yet. Our order was taken around 9:30pm and the food arrived one hour later. However the fare was definitely worth the waiting. I had grilled salmon with, rise and black refried beans, fried bananas and boiled veggies. The plate was generously piled and steaming hot and the salmon was juicy and delicate. After the live band began to play a conversation was almost impossible. However, since everybody was there for dancing salsa it didn't ruin the night at all. After the dinner everybody started to dance and guys were daring enough to ask women to dance, what really fascinated me. All in all, it was a fantastic evening with best salsa music I have ever heard, good Cuban food (a bit too heavy as for me, though very savory) and a lot of salsa dancing.
I would recommend this place to all salsa and Cuban food enthusiasts.
Pros: Dancing, food, ambience, service, crowd, atmosphere
Cons: Door in the lady's restroom doesn't close properly

Bamboo is a great restaurant for lunch and for dinner. They have a wide variety of food - everything from salads to pizza to entrees such as steak, chicken, and salmon. The portions are large and filling and the prices are extremely reasonable. I didn't think of myself as a big fan of Caribbean food, and you really don't have to be. Bamboo uses quality ingredients and flavors them with perfectly balanced spices, sauces, or toppings. I ordered an appetizer salad and it was the size of an entree! I then ordered the grilled vegetable and chicken pizzas. My friends ordered the steak and salmon and all were delicious. I am a huge pizza fan and this is some of the best that I've ever had! The crust was soft and a little crisp around the edges, there was just enough cheese and the grilled vegetables were great. The chicken was the best though -extremely tasty as well - some of the best I've ever had - not spicy, but with a kick. Our bill came out to less than $40 with drinks as well. Service was good and there is a large outdoor patio as well.
Pros: Food Flavors, Selection, Price, Service

This is the best! Chicken, beef, pork, or whatever it is you desire...this restaurant delivers! There's just something extra special in their cooking and their sauces that sets this place apart from the others. Its a small restaurant so try to beat the dinner crowd before 8pm and you'll get a table right away. I also love Versailles, but El Cochinito is way better!

This is a family owned restaurant. Ran by father and son. You always feel welcome when you dine. The food is out of this world. I highly recommend the tortilla soup and any of the salads.
