There's so much more stuff to eat and explore there since the city is so huge. Yelp is pretty good at pinpointing you in the right direction, and there are a ton of neighborhoods with good food (make a decent effort to avoid the bad neighborhoods btw lol).
Also, GL with the traffic lol
Gonna add to the list:
Daikokuya in Little Tokyo for ramen
Marugame Monzo for udon - the uni (sea urchin) udon is awesome
Honda Ya Izakaya and Musha - Izakaya (Japanese style tapas)
Gaja - Okonomiyaki
Tasty Garden is a good HongKong-style cafe
Boiling Point for Taiwanese style hotpot (you can smell the stinky tofu, hope you're adventurous)
Ham Ji Park for Korean bbq (pork dishes are their specialty including bbq and gam ja tang)
Mirak for Korean black goat stew
Ttu Rak for Galbi Jim (Korean hotpot/beef stew)
Ahgassi Gopchang and Kang Ho Dong Baekjeong for Korean bbq
Raffi's Place for Persian
Habit Burgers for a good burger chain
Boiling Crab for Vietnamese Cajun seafood
Saladang for Thai
Daw Yee Myanmar Cafe and Yoma Myanmar for Burmese
Just Yelp some random Mexican or Pho places. I'm currently forgetting the name of specific ones.
Pricier options include Malbec for Argentinian and Fogo de Chao for Brazilian.
And if you're going to Mama Lu's for dumplings, the original location near the corner of Garvey and Garfield is much better than the newer one a few blocks away.

-Portos (cuban bakery in Glendale/Burbank)
-Tsujita (Japanese dipping noodles in Sawtelle)
-Tsujita Annex (The fattiest richest ramen in LA, also in Sawtelle)
-The Hat (Pastrami sandwiches, theres a bunch of locations)
-Boca Del Rio (janky looking taco stand in Hacienda Heights, stupidly large portions for cheap)
for the best mexican food, go to the City of Industry/Hacienda Heights area,
chinese/TW/HK food go to SGV,
for good pho go to Westminster (or if thats too far Rosemead/El Monte/SGV)
Let me know if you have more food questions, and whoever told you to go to cheesecake factory just used a cop-out answer.
