Suggestions for Dining and Drinking near Little Tokyo, Los Angeles

Connie C. • June 25, 2017Gorgeous interior if you're in the glass house space. Try the lamb belly, Spanish octopus, porter pork, uni/lobster bucatini, and shishito peppers, and yuzu custard. Cocktails are fab too.

blake r. • September 5, 2010Best Sushi in LA. Order a spicy tuna hand roll! Aside from that you can get any of your favorite sushi items. Everything is amazingly fresh and high quality!

Liz K. • October 12, 2011Best ramen in LA! New & cleaner than Daikokoya (my 1st ramen love)

Adrian P. • June 22, 2015Great whiskey selection along with a great happy hour from 5-7pm. Probably your best bet for liquor and cocktails in the Little Tokyo area.

DJ . • November 18, 2022So unique and tasty. Can’t recommend this place enough. Gotta get the ube flavoured soft serve.

Stephanie W. • April 19, 2018My favourite matcha soft serve. Strong matcha flavour and very creamy

Chloe W. • June 23, 2014You really can't go wrong at this place. Go with a small party at lunch or get there at 5 or it'll take awhile for you to get a table.

Go Find Alice • May 28, 2015Pricey but hands down the best Shabu place in LA. The wagyu beaf is melt in your mouth delicious. Their banana pie is a just as well!

GNTLMN • January 8, 2013The best place in town for ramen. Very authentic, feels like you're in Tokyo. Always a little line, so get there 30 mins early, put your name down, and take a romantic stroll. - India de Beaufort

Gloria C. • April 18, 2013green tea donut, snowcap, blueberry & mocha roti, red bean donut, green tea roti bun, hazelnut crumble, s'mores, macaron ice cream sandwiches, spirulina chewy roll. come for brunch! great coffee too.

Patty G. • March 25, 2013Easily my new favorite sushi joint! Had the spicy yellowtail, spicy salmon, spicy albacore and the off-menu Obama roll (all handrolls). UH-mazing!!!

Judith C. • May 8, 2017Kinjiro never disappoints! I LOVE every dish they offer on their menu. Must save room for dessert! Their black sesame panna cotta and their green tea dessert amazing!

Jole P. • November 20, 2020Delicious, creamy japanese and italian fusion pasta dishes!

Diana F. • October 7, 2012Absolutely coming back. Best brunch at an amazing price! Endless mimosas, phenomanal cuisine. Definitely a 5 star and I'm picky. Oh and customer service is excellent!

Michael L. • October 1, 2018The Avocado Tofu Bowl surprised me in a very good way. A wonderful combination of the freshness of the tomatoes, creaminess of the avocado, tang from the sauce. All on a nice warm bed of rice.

Luis M. • January 28, 2014The veggie falafel Doner salad is hands down one of, if not, my favorite salad in all of Los Angeles. Crispy pita, crunchy garbanzos, feta, hummus, lettuce and falafel!? So good.

Jinnie L. • October 2, 2014Cream puffs are so delicious♡

Thomas M. • August 6, 2016This place is legit. Better food than your typical izakaya. Homemade tofu, cold egg custard, fisherman's squid, beef tongue, tongue sashimi, shishito peppers - all great. Get a draft Asahi to drink.

Trish • July 17, 2014Great service. Eat outside on the back patio. Bloody Mary with soju and the chashu hash skillet with 6 minute eggs are legit!

Veggie A. • September 17, 2011Dynamite roll, spicy rock shiitake tempura, BBQ seitan. Phenomenal! Call for reservations.

Krit P. • September 15, 2017One of the best ramen place in the area. You can find the most historical spicy ramen over here by just order an additional Habanero paste. But be careful, it's spicy as hell.

Marlon A. • March 25, 2015This is my preferred sushi experience, a revolving sushi bar. You could try on different sushi and not easily get full. Price is reasonable. 👍

Glenn M. • April 18Authentic taste!!! The crust was perfectly crispy, toppings were fresh, and the sauce had just the right balance of flavors. Definitely coming back for more!

Alyssa • November 28, 2012I highly recommend the earl grey if you're a fan of the tea. It's their deliciously sweet take on it.

Van L. • March 12, 2018I was going for the miso ramen and I was not disappointed. Highly recommended!

Mr. V • December 9, 2014The best flavors !! Wow 👏 very original .

Ailie C. • December 9, 2021We basically tried almost everything on their menu. Nagoya hitsumabushi so good.

Offbeat L.A. • April 1, 2016Opened in 1968. Small, popular Japanese cafe.

Constance Q. • October 8, 2016For those who like the high tea idea, this is perfect. For those who wish to be stuffed with a full dinner meal, go elsewhere. This is a delightful old-fashioned style tea room. Very gracious.
