Here's an alphabetical listing of all the restaurants we've reviewed that are tagged as Japanese
PLEASE NOTE: Elephant Cafe has closed. Elephant Cafe, formerly Big! Rice and Noodle, has been taken over by a new owner offering many Thai, Japanese and other Asian choices. This downtown Bethany restaurant is a great spot for a quiet, relaxing meal.
The ultimate stars of this restaurant are the spicy potato stew ($6.95) and Chef’s Specialty ($10.95) — aka “goat” stew. One would be hard-pressed to find tastier potato or goat stews even among the larger Korean communities in LA or New York.
The teppanyaki table is a favorite for almost anybody, but I liken it to seeing a great movie. It’s great the first time, kind of fun the second time, but if you don’t give it a rest for a while — maybe a year or so — the show gets boring. That said, if you’re looking for dinner and a show, this is my recommendation.
Kang’s has such a broad reach — from Thai to Chinese to Japanese to American foods — that it can be a little schizophrenic. Yet the unique qualities of the atmosphere and the excellent flavors of some dishes make it worth a try.
Sushi is one of my favorite types of food. I have eaten at most places in town, probably more than once, but there is one place I always seem to back to — Shiki. Sure, there are fancier sushi bars. There are more unique sushi bars. There are more eclectic, chic, nuevo, hip, and gourmet sushi spots in town. Shiki, however, is consistent, affordable, and convenient.
By the end of the night, the job was done. The two of us easily consumed $100 worth of sushi for $40. Sumo’s all-you-can-eat sushi special and the quality of their offerings make them an amazing value for those with insatiable appetites for fish.
I know that Sushi Neko is one of those locations that you either love or hate. Many people talk about the quality of service, the pricing and other things that keep them away from this place. Personally, I am one who is quite fond of Sushi Neko, but I will remain as fair and balanced as I can possibly be.
It’s not as fancy as nearby Sushi Neko, but Tokyo Japanese Restaurant offers all the flavor and a bigger selection in a more relaxed and much more affordable package.
