Best Lunch Restaurants in Little Tokyo

Great dining experience, amazing food and great service by our server Daniel and the rest of the staff.

I took my friend for her birthday and it was an amazing experience. They truly made her feel so special. Thank you to the amazing staff. There was only one man working when I went . Granted it was a very quiet Monday afternoon but nevertheless it was nice and sunny. We truly felt like we had the place to ourselves.

Our hostess was able to seat us inside but once inside the server didnt tend to us as much. The food was okay, but the vibe was perfect.

Pleasant gateway in downtown LA. Food was pretty good too.

Dining at Eigikutei was nothing short of extraordinary. Their vegan kaiseki dinner was a remarkable —each course thoughtfully crafted with precision and artistry, capturing the essence of traditional Japanese cuisine. The attention to detail was impeccable, from the delicate balance of flavors to the stunning presentation that made every dish feel like a work of art. One standout was the sesame soy broth used for the shabu shabu course—rich, fragrant, and deeply satisfying. Its depth of flavor perfectly complemented the meal, adding an extra layer of warmth and indulgence to the experience. The service was equally remarkable—warm, attentive, and reminiscent of our experiences in Japan. Every element of the evening, from the ambiance to the seamless pacing of the meal, transported us back to Japan. Eigikutei has set a new standard for plant-based fine dining. Whether you’re vegan or simply a lover of Japanese cuisine, this is an experience not to be missed. Highly recommended!
