Hot Hot Food

Hot Hot Food brings a splash of color and energy to Silver Lake’s dining scene. This all-day spot fits right into the neighborhood’s eclectic vibe with its bright, playful interior that makes you feel like you’ve stepped into something fun the moment you walk through the door. It’s the kind of place where you can hang out with friends without any pretense.

The menu centers around what they call “LA fried rice,” which is essentially a creative mashup of classic fried rice loaded up with various proteins. Think pork carnitas, jidori chicken, or even chili and brisket tossed into the mix. They’ve also got heavier breakfast options, a handful of salads, and some sides that seem designed for those late-night cravings—including tortillas with butter for when simplicity is all you need.

This is a spot built for casual hangs with friends, especially larger groups looking for something laid-back. The menu’s adventurous combinations might not be for everyone, but there’s an undeniable charm to a place that serves mac and cheese with goldfish crackers on top. It’s comfort food with a sense of humor.

If you’re in Silver Lake and looking for a relaxed atmosphere where the food is fun and the vibe is friendly, Hot Hot Food delivers exactly that. Just note they close at 10pm, so plan your late-night fried rice cravings accordingly.
