Japanese-style Pasta in LA's Little Tokyo 🍝

It's located inside the same plaza as Sushi Gen—a cozy little spot with surprisingly delicate decor! 🏮 As soon as you step in, you’ll see an eye-catching display of wine bottles. On the wall near the payment counter, there’s also a charming collection of unique little plates. 🍶✨ Have you been to this plaza before? What do you think of the vibe? 🧀 Burrata A simple burrata cheese served with a cherry tomato salad—nothing particularly special, but still fresh! 🧀🍅 What’s your favorite way to enjoy burrata? 🍝 Uni Pasta Pasta made with sea urchin sauce. It gets a bit rich after a few bites, and the fresh uni on top was somewhat small and had a strong oceanic taste. 🍴🌊 Have you tried uni pasta before? Yay or nay? 🍝 Beef Ragu Sauce Spaghetti A classic spaghetti with tomato-onion beef ragu. It was slightly salty, and the beef was a bit overcooked—not the most innovative dish. 🐄🍝 What’s your go-to pasta when you’re craving comfort food? Overall, it’s a decent spot for creative pasta, though nothing extraordinary. Interestingly, while it’s billed as a Japanese-style pasta place, the chefs seemed to be from Southeast Asia—quite the mix! 👨🍳🌏 And compared to the popular Sushi Gen next door, this place felt pretty quiet.
