347 E. 2nd Street Los Angeles CA 90012213 680 3454This charming little sushi bar is tucked away in the heart of Little Tokyo.

Cuisine:Japanese, Japanese Shabu-Shabu
127 Japanese Village Plaza Mall Los Angeles CA 90011+1 213 680 3890"A popular venue means you may be waiting, but a popular venue also means that it’s worth it. You can leave your name – like taking a ticket in a line – and wait for your name to be called. Or you can leave your name, go shopping or have a beer, return and hear your name being called. As with any line, the latter option has its risks and you may lose your place and have to wait a little longer. Ho ... read more > -

418 E 2nd St Los Angeles CA 90012(213) 617-1016"This Japanese hot pot hot spot with plenty of fresh seafood available. King crab legs here are very tasty. You can also get Chilean sea bass, and the clams here are great. Certain portions, you only get one oyster, but that one oyster is worthy of six in any other venue. There are various sets available (such as the beef set and the seafood set). Obviously, there’s more variety in some of them th ... read more > -

Cuisine:Japanese
337 E First Street Los Angeles CA 90011+1 213 626 9132You can get a great combo for under ten dollars here. How good is that? The potato salad is incredible here. Not something you’d expect of Japanese cuisine. But there are elements to each dish that are authentic and excellent. White cabbage is fantastic, teriyaki is great, and the tempura are portioned so generously you could probably set up a stall outside the venue and sell them on at a profit a ... read more > -

327 E 1st St. Los Angeles CA 90012(213) 626-1680"You can choose a combination meal for a few extra bills here that enhances the meal far more than the little outlay would suggest. Combo sides include a protein rich chicken and egg bowl, an eel bowl, a shredded pork bowl, kotteri (a fat rich dish) and tuna sashimi, although there is a great range and everything is tops. The ramen portions are generous. Vegetables include bamboo, onions and peppe ... read more > -

123 Astronaut Ellison S Onizuka St Weller Court 2F Los Angeles CA 90012(213) 625-3400Though often neglected for its neighbors Curry House and Orochon, Chin Ma Ya is a restaurant that shouldn't be missed. From their gyozas to their 'soboro bowl,' everything you order at Chin Ma Ya is good. But, a trip to Chin Ma Ya would not be complete without their combo tan tan men and karaage. The tan tan men broth differs from any ramen or soup broth that is generally found at ramen shops. The ... read more > -
