LA Hangover Cures: 16 Affordable Spots to Help You Recover the Morning After
You can thank us later.

Bulrocho
While Korean cuisine has a lengthy repertoire of hangover remedies, chief among them is haejangguk, which literally translates to “soup to chase a hangover.” Beef broth comes laden with thinly sliced steak, tripe, bean sprouts, and congealed blood cakes, and is exactly the thing you need to get over your morning-after body aches.

La Abeja Restaurant
La Abeja’s red menudo, chock full of tripe and served with a side of lemon, onion, and cilantro, satisfies even the most discriminating abuelas. And at $6 for a large bowl, it’s a small price to pay for the ultimate hangover cure. [Photo: Yelp]

Cofax
There’s a reason Cofax’s breakfast burrito has had its fare share of media attention: it’s damn delicious. With crispy tortilla strips and plenty of chorizo (don’t forget to add avocado!) it’s the salty grease bomb your body craves. Just beware of lines can feel especially brutal when nursing a hangover.

Urban Garden
There’s no doubt falafel is a rather unlikely hangover cure, but there’s something about the balls of chickpeas wrapped in za’atar bread that fulfills fried cravings without being overly heavy. Urban Garden offers some of the best, with a dedication to authenticity in every element of the sandwich: housemade za’atar bread is made to order on custom dome-shaped grills, the sesame-studded falafel are extraordinarly crispy on the outside and moist on the inside, and fried shallots add subtle sweetness and crunch.

Phorage
This modern Vietnamese restaurant offers a variety of pho varieties like American Wagyu, Mary’s chicken, and an exceptional oxtail, made with full-bodied broth and tender, fatty meat falling off the giant bones. The deeply rich and meaty soups are a gentle way to ease you into the day. [Photo: Yelp]

Han Bat Sul Lung Tang
A leading suhlungtang specialist in Koreatown, Han Bat’s OG bone broth with sliced brisket is just the thing you need to restore you to health. The cloudy, off-white soup is best eaten with scallions and salt to taste with some rice on the side or thrown in. [Photo: Crystal Coser]

Lucy's Mexican Drive-in
Lucy's classic breakfast burrito is stuffed with bacon, fluffy egg, hash browns, and the option to add cheese (which is a no brainer) along with a salsa that gives it just the right amount of punch to kick the hangover right out of you. If the burrito weren’t enticing enough, not having to get out of the car is a great incentive to come to Lucy’s after a long night out .—NL [Photo: Yelp]

Beijing Pie House
While Beijing Pie House is known for their meat pies, their spicy lamb noodle soup is a great way to get rid of an awful hangover headache, especially on a cold day. The hearty bowl is chock full of ground lamb, greens, and a spicy broth. While there, grab some delicious lamb dumplings as well. —NL[Photo: Yelp]

Taco Sinaloa
The more hungover you are, the more you will appreciate the monstrosity that is the carne asada fries at Taco Sinaloa. Smothered with carne asada, beans, cheese, guacamole, pico de gallo, jalapenos, onions, and salsa verde, these fries are guaranteed to not only rid you of your hangover but also keep you stuffed until the next morning. —NL[Photo: Yelp]

locali
If a McMuffin is your go-to hangover food, Locali is the place for you. This ultra-healthy eatery seems like the antithesis of hangover food, until you bite into their Baaadasss Breakfast Sandwich. Think vegan sausage patty, vegan soy-free cheddar, vegan chipotle sauce and maple syrup on a sprouted English muffin. Although everything in the sandwich is vegan, it is nothing short of delicious. —NL[Photo: Yelp]

Pink's Hot Dogs
The double bacon chili cheese burger at Pink’s is worth the wait, especially after a long night of partying. It has the perfect amount of grease and fat to wipe any traces of alcohol from your system. Don’t forget to add fries, onion rings, and chocolate milk to your already insane order. —NL[Photo: Yelp]

Bonjuk
For those extra potent hangovers where it’s difficult to keep just about anything down, there’s juk, the Korean porridge of rice, water, and a hint of sesame oil. The extra bland gruel can be had with pumpkin or abalone if you can stomach it, and is the miracle cure-all for those head-throbbing morning afters. [Photo: Yelp]

Komodo Venice
Just about everything on Komodo’s “Munchies” menu would work to cure those pesky hangovers, but the Brutus “salad” takes greasy cravings to new heights. Crispy tater tots are smothered in melted cheddar, steak, and bacon and topped with sour cream, pico, and a jalapeño aioli for Caesar salad’s ultimate counterpart. [Photo: Komodo]

Phở Consommé
This Gardena gem delivers a broth unlike that from trendier parts of town. Flavored with cinnamon, cloves, and star anise, this pho packs an aromatic punch, and at $6.75 for a large bowl, it is as unpretentious as it gets. [Photo: Crystal Coser]
