Yes DINOS = best place to go. highly recomended. its close to Pico/Vermont.

So I been hearing of Dino's for atleast the last 15+ years, is it that good? I remember when my brother had it once as a kid he came home goin BANANAStalkin bout how it was the best chicken he ever had (granted this was back in like 1992). I might have to trek into Ktown to go try this out.

It is off Broadway between Alpine and College streets on the left hand side if you are going north on Broadway. They validate parking for you at theparking lot next to Yang Chows. Otherwise you gotta try and find a meter. Damn I am getting hungry just thinking abou the spot!! Tasty stuff!!
