Cuz I LOVE ALL THINGS JAPANESE!!!
See All Lists
1. Kinokuniya Books
This is a pretty neat store.
There are lots of Japanese books, comics, magazines (for men and women) and lots of stationary items.
Most (90%) of the literature in this store is Japanese and some items are in English ( some comics and some Japanese…More »
2. Shin-Sen-Gumi Hakata Ramen
Had an early lunch today ( 11:30) and was able to order and eat within 30 mins. Pretty awesome when you only have an hour to eat.
A-set is always my favorite. The right amount of gyoza. They have some new toppings. I ordered the shredded chashu,…More »

I've been coming here since my last year at UCI, and I can honestly say, this place is probably one… Read more »
3. Mitsuwa Marketplace
Come down for lunch yesterday and slightly surprised that many of the sushi lunches were already gone ( at 11:30 a.m.).... but I was unfazed by this as I moved down to the bento boxes.
They now offer the option of having warm brown or white rice…More »

When I get a chance to leave the office for lunch, I try to make my way to Mitsuwa.
The daily lunch… Read more »
4. Cream Pan
Fiance and I came yesterday morning after church. There was no line and the food looked amazing. Since it was our first time, we wanted to try a whole bunch of food ( We were HUNGRY):
We got:
2 Strawberry Croissants
1 Banana Croissant
1 Lunch Sandwich…More »
5. Kura Sushi
I decided today was the day to go to Kura. The restaurant seemed fairly empty and there was a lot of bar seating available as well as a few booths.
The selection seemed less varied today (or maybe it was because it was lunch time).
My lunch was going…More »

6. Bentoss
Quick lunch (literally 10 mins or less for the food to be prepared and served) and cheap.
The meat in my No.5 was warmed (which was unexpected, since many of the prepared bentos I've had are always cold). The veggies were decent.
I'll be back to try…More »
7. Shabu Shabu Bar
I really like this Shabu Shabu place.
The decor is fun and modern. The setting is ample ( for a Shabu Shabu place).
My roommates and I arrived at 6:00 p.m. for dinner and the house was PACKED already. We waited 35 minutes to be seat.
After looking…More »
8. Tokyo Japanese Lifestyle
I love this place! Whether it is shopping at this location or the one in Little Tokyo, I always find what I need-- and some things that I didn't know I needed.
The always have a great music playing and the staff is always helpful!
9. Popkiller Second
Los Angeles, CA 90012
(213) 625-1372
Category:
Used, Vintage & Consignment
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Little Tokyo
This store is filled with unusual finds and random items. The staff is friendly and welcoming.
I thought the store would have been bigger, but it was filled to the brim with things.
I like their T-Shirt collection.
10. TOT / Teishokuya of Tokyo
Los Angeles, CA 90012

Category:
Japanese
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Little Tokyo
The food was excellent here.
The wait (which was during lunch time) was short. The service was prompt.
I tried the Avocado Tuna bowl. The avocado was ripe but still firm, the salad (read lettuce) was crisp and the tuna was perfect. The only downside…More »
11. Sushilicious
I find myself at this particular revolving sushi restaurant at least once a month.
The atmosphere is casual. Think Apple store meet Yogartland. Bright colors and happy music.
What I like about this place is that the rolls don't have traditional…More »
12. House of Shabu Shabu
This place has most definitely tried to improve since the car mishap last year.
First, their price for the AYCE has gone up, but only a few dollars (like 2 bucks). Next, the cheaper of the two AYCE options offers even less meat choices. To compensate…More »

13. California Shabu-Shabu
My roommates and I went last night to try the Shabu Shabu. It was really good. The meat was freshly cut (not pre-cut in some freezer), the veggies were fresh and crisp.
The dessert (Black Sesame seed ice cream) was really good. I didn't think I would…More »
14. Taiko Japanese Restaurant
Taiko without a line out front? Yes. Miracles do happen.
Taiko had no line last night and we (roommate and I) were seated within 5 minutes.
Combo plates were a little expensive - but there was a lot of food on that plate.
I highly recommend any combo…More »
