This little “hole in the wall” Japanese cafe has the best chicken katsu in LA.
Super fresh, light and crispy katsu breading with juicy white breast meat, served in the bowl on soft, warm rice with a side of lettuce salad and topped with pickled and crispy veggies with lotus root slices.

Not busy on a Saturday afternoon. Keep in mind they have a 4% charge if pay with card. Otherwise pay cash so you don't have...
