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.
At first glance, this might look like your typical Korean BBQ place. All you can eat meat, grills on the table, etc. But you have to check out their monster salad bar. This place has fried chicken AT THE SALAD BAR, in addition to noodles, fruit and sushi. On top of that, the restaurant stretches for MILES so you’ll always be able to get a table here, which means you get to the salad bar a lot quicker.
