Suggestions for Dining and Drinking near Little Tokyo, Los Angeles

Ron • January 14, 2016Excellent deals on food and drink during the 5-6pm happy hour. Try the chicken pot pie, posole and head cheese.

LA Weekly • January 29, 2016The lunch specials + dinner plates (not available at the sushi bar) deliver the best bang for your buck, but we prefer to sit and talk to the chefs, seek out the best of the day and order à la carte.

Robert O. • June 16, 2015Nice selection of whiskey. They make a pretty damn good Old fashioned too.

Tea • October 6, 2017I loved the matcha smoothie with macadamia. Very good quality. Not watery at all. Can’t wait to go back and try everything else.

Angela J. • August 8, 2014Cabbage salad!!!!! Plus noms ramen and small rice bowls and everything is good here.
