Hello Kitty is seriously getting the biggest 40th birthday extravaganza in Los Angeles. This month, there's Hello Kitty Con , the largest retrospective on the iconic Sanrio cat and Hello Kitty-themed rooms at The Line hotel. And now, we can add a Hello Kitty food scavenger hunt to the list.
The L.A. Times reported that Sanrio is hosting a Hello Kitty Hunger Hunt throughout our city from October 24 to November 21. Eleven restaurants from downtown to the Westside will be offering special Hello Kitty-themed savory dishes, sweets, and drinks.
We're looking at fun items like a Hello Kitty bento box, pizza slices, sushi and ramen. Participating restaurants include Daikokuya, Plan Check, Lemonade, Seoul Sausage and Charm City Cakes, among others.
And with each of those kawaii food items, you'll also get collectible Hello Kitty pins depicting the adorable character noshing on the same goodies you're eating.

Sanrio will be posting more information about the Hunger Hunt soon on their website .
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
