Question

Hi, are there nice restaurants around Intuit Dome if you wish to have a late dinner after the basketball game (starts at 8 p.m)? I know that there are food available at Intuit Dome but rather have a dinner afterwards. How late do restaurants generally serve dinner in LA (it is a Friday evening)?

Answer

Intuit Dome is located in Inglewood, an area with a growing number of dining options, and being close to Los Angeles means you have plenty of choices for a late Friday night dinner after an 8 p.m. basketball game. Most restaurants in LA stay open until 10–11 p.m. on weekdays, and many in lively areas will serve until midnight or later on Fridays, especially near entertainment hubs.

Here are some options within a short drive of Intuit Dome:

The Forum Shops & Downtown Inglewood area: Several casual and mid-range restaurants, including American, Italian, and Mexican cuisine. Many stay open until 10–11 p.m.
Korean BBQ and Asian cuisine: Inglewood and nearby Hawthorne have a variety of Korean, Japanese, and Thai restaurants. These often stay open late, some until 11 p.m.–midnight.
Upscale spots: Around Downtown LA or Playa Vista, about a 15–20 minute drive, you’ll find higher-end restaurants and hotel dining options that serve until 11 p.m. or midnight.

Some specific suggestions near Intuit Dome include:

Nick & Stef’s Steakhouse (West LA) – upscale steakhouse, usually open until 11 p.m. on Fridays.
Inglewood Bakery & Cafe – casual spot with hearty meals, open until 10 p.m.
King’s Hawaiian Café or nearby casual Asian eateries – good for quick bites, typically open until 10–11 p.m.
Restaurants in the nearby SoFi Stadium area – some open late, catering to sports crowds on event nights.

Tips: For a Friday night game, expect some traffic around Inglewood after 11 p.m., so plan accordingly. It’s a good idea to check restaurant websites or call ahead to confirm late-night hours, especially for smaller local spots.

Overall, you will have plenty of options for a late dinner, ranging from casual to upscale, within a 5–15 minute drive of Intuit Dome. Many places in LA are accustomed to accommodating late-night diners after entertainment events.
