10 Best Restaurants in Little Tokyo LA

[@RockstarEater]

Which of these restaurants look most appealing?

[@jettgalindo]

Thank you for this! I love Little Tokyo but I've always just stuck with Daikokuya everytime I'm there. I'm excited to try every one in this list.
Looking forward to more LA food recommendations

[@RockstarEater]

Thanks. Yes, Daikokuya is great too, although I haven't been there in 15 years. Haha.

[@horseplop9]

I'll. Be there next week
Can't wait

[@darthmaul5780]

I went to Kagaya for my birthday and it was absolutely delicious Top-quality, mouth-watering food! I've been going to shabu shabu for 10+ years and will always be the best comfort food, shoutout Yoshi.

[@RockstarEater]

Kagaya is pretty bomb! I want to go back there again someday soon :)

[@jtzimm233]

The entire video I was like, when is he going to say TORIGOYA?!?!? So glad it made your list. I thought I had great Yakitori in NYC but this place beat them all, imo.

[@JustinKeanu]

I was going to Daikokuya about 3 times a week! Great spot too! There is a hole in the wall Japanese BBQ spot by the wishing tree I forgot the name but it’s right before the mall!

Went to Men Oh, enjoyed the food and the place. Will try some others on the list.

[@michaelcrouch8783]

Beautiful, thank you!
I used to go to the otani hotel and the atomic cafe but I know they're history now.
Too bad.

[@RockstarEater]

fun channel man, will subscribe

[@RockstarEater]

Thanks man! Hope you enjoy all the great stuff coming out this year!

[@jc3drums916]

Half these places are in Honda Plaza, haha.
Men-Oh's specialty is, as their name suggests, Tokushima ramen, not spicy tonkotsu ramen. The standard tonkotsu ramen they offer is from Fukuoka, not Tokushima; I've never had the spicy tonkotsu, but I'm guessing it's just a variation on the standard one, like their black garlic ramen. I suspect tonkotsu is on the menu because it's the most popular style in the US these days. Theirs is not quite as good as Tatsunoya, which I think is the best in LA, but it's less expensive, and if you're in a Japanese mood, it's better to be in Little Tokyo than Pasadena or Silver Lake.
Sushi Gen is good, and their lunch special is a bargain (regular meal, not so much), but I don't know if it's worth the long wait.
Nice video. Japanese pronunciation needs work (esp. Kagaya, izakaya, udon). Didn't know about Enya - I'll have to try it sometime.

[@RockstarEater]

Thanks for the feedback. Hope you continue to follow this channel for some more awesome LA food features this year!

[@theGrayArea2]

Mr Ramen for me is a classic.

[@RockstarEater]

Sounds good. Please continue to follow my channel to see other great food videos!

[@Jenetik1]

Mr. Ramen is awesome and more people should know about it. Sad that it's not on this list.

[@Alex-qd7ly]

[@longdang3602]

Unbelievable! I wonder if these Japanese foods are available in my town. Let me go and check it out.

[@RockstarEater]

Let me know if you find it.

[@samlichtenstein2754]

There's Shin sen gumi ramen and Daikokuya.

[@RockstarEater]

Awesome choices. I have a recent video at Daikokuya :)

[@InternationalFoodieGuide]

excellent video and nice presentation of food, I just subscribe thanks for creating and happy eating from #internationalfoodieguide

[@RockstarEater]

Thanks man. You have some pretty awesome food stuff as well. Much props!

[@InternationalFoodieGuide]

@@RockstarEater thanks for the encouragement

[@ken_9359]

Did you ever get a chance to eat at Tofu Village before it closed down? That was my favorite all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ. I might of closed it down by eating there so much.

[@diggingmystyle]

If it closed down, then it's not that good.

[@ken_9359]

@@diggingmystyle That's like saying McDonald's is good food.

[@StudioLinkSketchit]

I'm a bit sad that Orochon Ramen didn't make the list. I know it's a little separated from the main shopping center of Little Tokyo, but it's my favorite ramen restaurant.

[@RockstarEater]

If there was a top 20 list, maybe. I've been to Orochon a number of times, and I honestly think the other ramen restaurants I listed in Little Tokyo are better, quality and tastewise. Then again, try them and let me know what you think.

[@tomc1059]

What about rice dishes? No curry review?

[@Doggoisthebest]

I ate at Shaba Shaba house I like it I just eat sauce

[@RockstarEater]

Awesome. It's a great place. It was much cheaper back in the early 20s, but still good quality. That peanut sauce is pretty bomb.
Hope you continue to follow in on my food adventures!

[@tuffmike7487]

You’ve earned a b

[@louisfrancojr.6406]

Pretty good list!! Some spots I never knew about that I'll definitely check out. Surprised I didn't hear a few well known ramen shop names and that karaage spot from the other video on this list. You planning on making another list of recommendations in Little Tokyo? How about any Takoyaki, Okonomiyaki, and Matcha spots by any chance?? ^_^

[@RockstarEater]

Those are honorable mentions. I wish I could have included 20 on the list, quite frankly. Chinchikurin, Hama Sushi, and Kabuto are other great places!

[@samlichtenstein2754]

Mitsuru cafe.

[@RockstarEater]

Awesome choice. Please continue to follow my channel to see other great food videos this year!

No

[@ken_9359]

If you really want to know if it's authentic Japanese food, take a peek in the kitchen to see who's cooking. You might be eating Mexican food.

[@RockstarEater]

Awesome. Please continue to follow my channel to see other great food videos!

[@cristianm9625]

Bro there is Mexicans cooking your food in every cuisine in LA even Michelin star rated restaurants. As long as theyre following the chefs recipe and it’s authentic it dont matter if a robot is making it as long as it follows the right recipe and procedures.
I wouldnt say a margarita is not authentic just cause a white or Japanese person is making it .
