Teriyaki Chashu burrito, sounds like good eats :)

Never heard of the place there...is it also from a bygone era?

Yup.

Closed up shop in 2000, I believe... The original sign, "Mago's Burgers," is hanging on one of the walls in the Japanese-American Museum in Little Tokyo. :)

Had a lot of great meals there. :puppydog:

No idea... Can't imagine it was due to lack of business. :sweat:

All the dishes there are great but the Alpine Sausages with Gnocchi in tomato sauce is exceptional. Considering this restaurant is primarily a ramen restaurant, their small "tapas" style dishes are excellent. Their gnocchi was better than some gnocchi I've had at Italian restaurants! :)

They have several ramen selections but I wanted to try something new this time. Their ramen is excellent with handmade organic noodles...absolutely delicious.
