Best Restaurants with a Wood Oven in Little Tokyo

I was very sad because I invited friends from across the country to buy them birthday day dinner but birthday request was ignored and we had to wait 30 minutes standing in front of the bar and the staff spilled diet coke and water on my new white pants and table.

The Bistecca Fiorentina was spectacular. All of the food was amazing. Worth the splurge.

Fantastic birthday dinner for our daughter and her husband. First time for all of us, and we all said, as we walked out, we will definitely be back! We shared the octopus, shish kebab, and 2 schnitzel, which were fantastic. Everything was so fresh and the cucumber salad was such a nice side compliment. Really friendly staff and great ambiance.They greeted us acknowledging I had called ahead about the birthday but then forgot about the birthday dessert arrangements — but they made up for it. Only possible improvement might be the Sticky date pudding which was a little dry and could use soaking in a sauce like our family makes in Australia. Otherwise all was amazing!

Great service, friendly staff, very good mix of flavors and use of ingredients, red peas and rice 👍 Wish they'll be able to bring back the smoked country ham, more game dishes. Thank you Chef Brian, Manny, Abe, Joe. Thank you to Rodney, Star (congrats!!! 😉🙏🙏), and Jessica. A+

I said we were celebrity a birthday…no mention of anything from checking even as I paid the bill. They sat us in the very back, outside area. T I still have 4 stars, but not what I expected. Service was nice, but didn’t smile once til we paid the bill. The people helping him were very helpful and we ended up asking them for drinks and refills etc instead. We never got a receipt although we asked. * the lunch menu changed since a couple week ago also. It went up in price and the desert was removed making it a 2 course special instead of 3. Overall good food.
