yeah it's cool, my second time there...truthfully it's the only ONE i know of in SoCal...which is a bit surprising because okonomiyaki and monjayaki are fairly popular in tokyo and osaka....

i wouldn't say it's my favorite type of japanese cuisine but it's a nice change of pace and you got the whole collegial activity of cooking the food with whomever you roll out with.

the place i went to is called gaja okonomiyaki

BBQ chicken for lunch
Nattou and rice for dinner

Except the part where I burn the okonomi, and set fire to the place. But it's all fun. :rofl:

yeah by then you are too drunk to give a damn anyway...and you're more likely to burn your face then your food.

Speaking of Food, I saw a new Japanese food Mart in my Town, But parking is kinda hard to find, but I will have to stop and pay a visit one day.

sounds good, and very filling, reminds me of L&L's, lots of starchy foods, but good stuff. :thumbsup:

I think I'm going to go get something to eat now.

I had a Jack in the Box chicken ciabatta sandwich for dinner tonight (no sauce). Wasn't that bad. The chicken was grilled rather than fried.

SAKE HOUSE MIRO

I'm filing this one under drinks, because while Sake House Miro does have izakaya dishes, yakitori and sushi, they serve more as accompaniments to the sake, beer and soju cocktails. It's not really an eating destination, but it's a great option in this under-served neighborhood near La Brea and Wilshire. As the website points out, the Sake House is a lot like walking into a neighborhood pub in 1970s Tokyo with Godzilla posters on the wall, vintage Japanese pay phones and cozy settees. The sushi at Sake House is serviceable, but I haven't really gotten to the cooked dishes yet. I'm looking forward to trying out their house fried chicken, grilled yellowtail collar, black cod, tofu steak with bonito and chile skewers. The friendly server recommended the smooth Kaori sake. Most sakes are in the $8 range for an ample glass; the cloudy unfiltered sake is $12 a bottle. With 15 kinds of sake to choose from, 2 for 1 sake on Mondays and 2 for 1 beer and soju on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, this is a fun spot to stop in after work or before a movie for a drink and some small plates.

tonight was pizza night from speed rabbit ... with coke and juice !!

hmm gotta eat trash food sometimes eh !!! :hehe:

aite...i went to this place..it was really cool! the food was pretty good and the atmosphere was even better...it really had the feel of japanese izakaya...very laid back and fun....it really reminded me of being in japan...it's a great place to drink AND eat...they had 2 for 1 large bottles of Kirin Ichiban on a Saturday night, which is practically unheard of in Los Angeles...a great place for a date or somewhere to eat dinner with friends before partying the night away.

p.s. the Japanese waitresses were very cute...but I had to temper my enthusiasm because I went with a girl. :hehe:

Nothing tonight.
