Little Tokyo
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.

It's all about skewered chicken here, with every kind imaginable on the menu: light, dark, wing, skin, gizzard, neck, liver, heart. Each perfectly cooked over Japanese Bincho Charcoal, then paired with delicious sauces and seasonings. It's highly recommended to order "omakase" style (chef's choice) to get the authentic yakitori experience. Feeling daring? Try asking about the hidden menu for even more chicken delicacies. Come with friends, an open mind, and an empty stomach, and don't forget to order sake.
