Nestled betwixt Downtown (proper), the Arts District and, ahem, Skid Row, to form a misfit tetrad of walkable neighborhoods, Little Tokyo is home to your next favorite restaurant coffee shop bar spot. Est. 1886 (i.e. in LA terms, pre-historic), it’s one of few remaining US Japantowns, and the well-documented taciturn cultural pride has protected its authenticity, skewing it less tourist-trap and more Taste of Tokyo.
This cozy bright cafe is a great brunch spot in Little Tokyo. The inside is small, but they also provide outdoor patio seating with heaters, for those random chilly days in Los Angeles. Choose your own table, look over the menu and order at the counter. Follow the crowd and order their well known Chashu Hash Skillet: pork belly, potatoes and two soft boiled eggs. The portions come large and plenty, so choose multiple items and share with your friends. Don’t forget the mimosas.
