" This is my go-to place for okonomiyaki when I'm in Little Tokyo! The authentic flavors transported me back to Japan. The atmosphere is great for gatherings, and the service is generally friendly. I did notice it can get quite busy and noisy. My only complaint would be that sometimes I feel the portions could be a bit larger for the price. " (*Curated Review*)
