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.
Private room karaoke. VIP Rooms for those in-the-know and a BYOB and food (and helium tanks) policy. Boasting a massive selection (frequently accompanied by suitably cringe-worthy DIY video clips), Max’s also uses a downloadable app for its regulars, making browsing the catalogue more user-friendly. It’s open till 3am (4am on the weekends) and reservations are advised.
