About this location
Past security near Gate 33A in Terminal 3, this restaurant from chef Nyesha Arrington runs 4:30 am to 10 pm, opening earlier than Homeboy Cafe and Cava nearby and closing before the terminal's latest departures. It's positioned as the full-menu, chef-driven option in a gate cluster otherwise built around counter service — Alfred Coffee for espresso, Cava for bowls, Chicken and Beer for a quick bite. LAX has no second Native by Nyesha, so Gate 33A is the only place in the airport to find her menu.
Other options in Terminal 3
All past the same checkpoint, so you can reach them without clearing security again.
