J Nichols Kitchen

J Nichols Kitchen is a true gem in the West Los Angeles dining scene. Whether you’re stopping in for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, this spot delivers consistently great food, warm service, and a welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to come back again and again. One standout on the menu is their Reuben sandwich—hands down one of the best I’ve had. The corned beef is perfectly tender, the sauerkraut is just the right balance of tangy and crisp, and the Swiss cheese melts beautifully into the toasted rye bread. Every bite is packed with flavor, and it’s clear that they take pride in using high-quality ingredients. Beyond the Reuben, the entire menu is well-crafted, offering a mix of classic comfort dishes and fresh, modern takes. The service is always friendly, and whether you’re dining in or taking food to go, you can expect a great experience. If you’re looking for a reliable, delicious spot in Los Angeles with a laid-back yet elevated feel, J Nichols Kitchen is a must-visit. Highly recommended!

Stopped by here after a flight into LAX and loved the open sunny vibes of the restaurant. Really beautiful interior and great staff. Food wasn’t super cheap but plating was vibrant and food was clean and very enjoyable! Would certainly go back again if I’m in the area. Do check it out for breakfast / brunch with friends.

One of our favorite breakfast places in SoCal! Food is fresh and innovative. Order that Sonora breakfast bowl, you won't be disappointed!

I ordered the steak frites and to be honest, it's the blandest steak I've ever had. They do not season it at all. Also the arugula was dry. The fries were so dry, if you stick a fork in one it'll break in two. Also, they bordered on cold. Other than that, the service was great and the people were nice. Just avoid their steak. So disappointing.

Awesome! Lots of healthy options. Delicious! Best avocado toast and salmon toast we've ever had. Super clean and nice bathrooms.
