Chinchikurin Little Tokyo

My favorite place to eat in Little Tokyo! I literally take anyone visiting from out of town here. I had never heard of okonomiyaki before but it's become a staple! It's so cool to be able to see them make it too! The staff are great, and I love getting to eat off the hot plates, even with the outdoor seating!

Delicious okonomiyaki restraunt. It was super crowded when we went there was a waitlist and we waited about thirty minutes to be seated. If you want a table with a grill to make it yourself you need to specify when filling out the waitlist form. They give you a sauce packet and mayonnaise packet free. Servers were polite good atmosphere. Bathroom in the back.

You are greeted by a device to sign in wghich links to Yelp on your phone. I do that but 5 mins later a clueless group on the sign in just waltzed in and the server seats immediately. I complain but the server just moves on without apology… luckily there is seating at the counter AND we were able to get our order in first…. We ordered the Hiroshima and the hip Goam. My home cooked Hiroshima style is actually better… the restaurant’s yakidoba part is simply noodles cooked in boiling water, then doused with oil and simply cooked on hot griddle after making shape… at the end, the okonomiyaki comes outpretty light on the nori and no bonito flakes?! Now. I say mine is better because I take the next step after cooking the noodles to add yakisoba sauce and stir-fry the YAKIsoba….

Great food, comfortable seating, friendly and helpful service. Located in the Japanese Village Plaza We had the Ika Ika okonomiyaki, fried ramen with squid, it was amazing. Very flavorful and with lots of veggies and meat inside. We also had Tan Tan Ramen, most of time, ramen in most places are too salty to my taste, so I asked to taste the soup first. It was very flavorful but indeed very salty for me, so I asked for some hot water on the side. The waitress was super helpful and it was great. I loved the soup. The noodles were Al dente. Note: they validate parking, but only for the lot next to the Japanese Village parking, not the one the other side.

I loved their staff! They were super helpful and patient when explaining the menu and how to customize my dish. I was super hyped on trying the food but when it finally arrived it wasn't up to expectations. The presentation was great and looked phenomenal, however once we tasted the food it didn't live up to its presentation. It was basically noodles on top of cabbage, I think the roi is great for their business just not something I would be excited to try again. The price is a little expensive for what my taste buds experienced, great food is always worth the money however this wasn't it. It did get me full, I normally devour my food and am first to finish my meal but this time I had my group waiting for me.
