Feeling Nippy?
You don't have to be Japanese or be in Japan to enjoy authentic Japanese foods. LIttle Tokyo offers a variety of Japanese cuisines to accommodate any palate, but outside of Little Tokyo and onto the west side is where you'll find the exclusive, hard to get into restaurants and one of the best sushi spots in Los Angeles.

Chicken everything! Heart, gizzard, name it they got it. Meat on a stick! Get there early or else they'll run out!

If you don't mind the $$$ the sushi is mouthwatering. The sushi chefs know exactly what they're doing and make sure you leave a happy camper.

California Shabu Shabu801 Baker St, Costa Mesa, CA
It's a restaurant but you feel like you're in a local bar where everyone knows each other and you're there to have a great time. Oh and the food is also great. The quality of their beefs are better than any other shabu places in southern California. They cut the meat in front of you so you know it hasn't been sitting in the freezer for a while.

Ikemen1655 N La Brea Ave, Los Angeles, CA
Not your traditional ramen place, it's a "dip ramen" place.
-
Hakata Ramen Shin-Sen-Gumi132 S Central Ave, Los Angeles, CA
It's a "make your own" type of ramen place. They give you a sheet and you check off what you want in yours. Easy, simple, great staff and consistent food. The wait isn't long and sitting at the bar isn't bad.
