Dine LA Restaurant Week Ends August 28. The $25 Menus Are Lunches.

A two-course seafood lunch in Frogtown, churros and a drink included, runs $25 a person during Dine LA Restaurant Week. That menu, at Mariscos Za Za Zá on Blake Avenue, is one of 29 Restaurant Week deals listed by The Infatuation, the restaurant guide site, in a roundup published August 19, 2026. The guide does not say whether tax and tip are included, or whether every menu is offered every night.

The promotion runs August 14 to 28, 2026, so the calendar is doing the deciding now. If you have a reservation window left this week, the cheapest menus on the list are lunches, and the ones with visible arithmetic are the ones where the regular price is known.

The outlet's editors are blunt about the format: most Restaurant Week deals, they write, are marginal, and they picked out the handful they thought were worth the booking. Per the guide published August 19, 2026.

The $25 and $35 tier, mostly at lunch

• Mariscos Za Za Zá, Frogtown — $25 per person, two courses at lunch plus churros and a drink. The cheapest full meal on the list.
• Mountain San BBQ, Koreatown — a six-course lunch at $25 per person; the family-style Korean barbecue dinner is $55.
• Seogwan by Yellow Cow, Koreatown — $25 for a three-course lunch, $68 for the four-course dinner with a meat platter.
• Le Dräq, Downtown Los Angeles — $35 per person for three courses at dinner, on West 4th Street.
• Harold & Belle's, Jefferson Park — three courses at $35 at lunch, $45 at dinner.
• Lei'd Cookies, Culver City — $15 for a seven-count mini cookie flight, $25 with four mini scoops of ice cream. A regular cookie there costs $4, the guide notes.

Where the discount is legible

Two entries in the guide show their work, which is rarer than it sounds during a promotion built on set menus.

• Firstborn, Chinatown — $78 per person for five courses. The restaurant's regular four-course prix fixe is $68, per the guide, making the extra dish a $10 add. The whole table has to participate.
• Bar Sinizki, Atwater Village — $55 for three courses with a wine pairing. Most dishes on the regular menu run over $25, the outlet reported.
• Uchi, West Hollywood — a seven-course dinner at $55 per person on Santa Monica Boulevard.
• Sichuan Impression, West Los Angeles — $72 for a five-course set that the guide says feeds three to four people, available all day. The outlet calls it "always one of our favorite Dine LA deals."
• Bistro Na's, Temple City — $68 for a family-style lunch for two, $135 at dinner.

If you are spending more

• Jacaranda, Hollywood — $175 per person for a six-course tasting menu, which the guide describes as a shortened version at nearly half the usual price.
• Damian, Arts District — $75 per person for four courses on East 7th Place.
• Sushi Tama, Beverly Hills — $80 per person for a four-course omakase with six pieces of sashimi and ten pieces of sushi.
• Alto, Studio City — $75 per person for three courses, with sweetbreads as a $10 supplement.

Two practical notes before you book. Supplements and add-ons sit outside the headline price at several of these — the soju and beer add-on at Hojokban in the Arts District is $20, and the ube cocktail at Tiki Kai in Hermosa Beach is $10, per the guide. And the 29 restaurants above are one outlet's shortlist, not the full Dine LA roster; the complete participating list is linked from the guide.
