About this location
Ashland Hill occupies Terminal 7's departures level within the 70-88 gate span, grouped with B Grill by Boa Steakhouse, BLD and a Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf rather than sitting apart from the other sit-down options. Its 4 AM to midnight hours make it the earliest opener among that cluster, covering the first bank out of Terminal 7 and opening an hour ahead of The Counter in the same cluster. Terminal 7 shares a checkpoint and an airside walkway with Terminal 8, so a passenger who cleared security at either building can reach this spot without a second screening. It's LAX's only Ashland Hill, named for the Santa Monica original rather than a chain with multiple branches to compare across terminals.
Other options in Terminal 7
All past the same checkpoint, so you can reach them without clearing security again.
