Kyoto Wagyu Tonkatsu Ten no Meshi LA, Los Angeles
Katsu at .la.official had waygu and pork katsu. A5 Wagyu Tenderloin Cutlet Set Meal And the Kurobuta Pork Loin & Tenderloin Cutlet Set Meal. With the scallop cutlet topped with salmon roe. The Wagyu pieces were practically raw then they provide a hot stone to sear the beef. Each beef piece was quite tender and had a great mouth feel. Would order again. Make sure you open up yelp and get in line before you arrive - otherwise your wait is way over an hour.

Japanese
Sushi Kisen, San Gabriel Valley
Sushi! Favorite neighborhood sushi joint - Sushi Kisen. The Traditional Edomae Style Sushi Lunch with 13 pieces of sushi for $40. Deluxe Chirashi Lunch was well balanced for $35. Sushi Kisen is unique since they use red vinegar on their sushi rice. . . .
Japanese
Equinox Pasadena, Pasadena
Tempura from at their latest location in Pasadena. Tempura with udon noodles, soba noodles, and their tempura sushi. People were lining up before they opened. Yummy! Had tempura at their South Bay location and this place does not disappointment either. Would gladly visit again, just hopefully without a line. . . .
Japanese
Hibiki, San Gabriel
Japanese BBQ at Hibiki in the SGV. Had to check out this place. Cool decor. Good service. They grill the meats for you, in case you don’t want to or don’t know how to. But I think they grill it for you to make you eat faster to increase the turns. Anyways the meats were good. Had varies cuts of wagyu and even had beef tongue, which could have been sliced thinner. The wasabi cucumber was interesting - initially eye opening and almost repulsive since you’re expecting something refreshing. The wasabi kick wakes you up and is almost addicting. I will try to make it. Anyways. I would recommend and I might return if I didn’t have to wait. Luckily only waited 5 mins. . . .

Mitsui Japanese Cuisine (三井日式料理), Taipei
Japanese food in Taiwan, is arguably the best outside of Japan. I doubt anywhere else has the diversity, quality of fish, and abundance of great Japanese restaurants than Taiwan. This neighborhood Japanese restaurant does not disappointment, located in the east district 東區 of Taipei 大和 is a favorite of an old friend that I’ve known for over 49 year, our moms went to college together. It was great to catch up with him and his family and of course his mom. . . .

Wagyu Beef Yakiniku at Zonzen Yakiniku 燒肉中山

Japanese style bbq - yakiniku, Taipei
Japanese style bbq - yakiniku. High quality meats and good times with old friends. Various grades of beef, chicken, and pork. The chicken rice was good, which turned into a nice flavorful rice porridge. Located just north of the Songshan airport in a newish shopping mall, Noke. I believe I saw this place was reviewed by the Michelin guide. . . . .04

Late night eats at an old favorite in a new location, Tokyo
Late night eats at an old favorite in a new location. The katsudon - pork cutlet with eggs and onion over rice. I usually get the oyakudon, but tonight I wanted something different. Unfortunately, it was quite salty - too salty for me. So, after the bill was paid, I told the server and owner. They welcomed the feedback and interestedly, they said feedback is great since it comes from customers that care. The poles that don’t care, and have issues, they just won’t return. I know I will return. And I also recommend. Suehiros was part of my college life. I will always associate Suehiros as part of little Tokyo. It is too bad they couldn’t stay at their 1st street location. . . .
Japanese
I-Naba, unknown
Kaiseki dinner at I-Naba. Excellent service and great experience. Lots of the dishes were quite good. The miso infused cheese, fish ball, soba noodles, green mochi were stand outs. Unfortunately the sushi rice, the some of the sushi was not. I’ve had great kaiseki experiences in Asia. So my expectations were quite high. I would love to try the set menu for the Sushi I-Naba next time. . . . . . . .

Japanese noodles, San Gabriel Valley
Japanese noodles, mazesoba from Nagoya. Dry noodles with toppings. Toppings include ground pork, scallions, seaweed, poached egg, soft boiled egg, garlic, and chasu. Also had some fried chicken. After mixing, the noodles were melted together with poached egg. It’s an interesting texture that may not appeal to all. Sort of slimey. I had a side of the soup. I prefer noodles in a broth. . . . . .

Hui Tou Xiang Noodles House, San Gabriel
Got a second chance to have curry with katsu. This time delicatessen by Osawa did not disappoint. Curry was flavorful and the katsu was ideal. The seared cod and sukiyaki was also very good as well. We also had the chicken karage, which was gobbled up quite fast. Yum yum. Glad this place is not far from home. Thanks to for introducing this place to us . . . . . .
Japanese
Tamaya, San Gabriel Valley
Ramen. Had the black kotteri ramen, with fatty rich broth. It had a good taste/flavor. But the texture, yes inside the soup, had a grainy mouth feel - not too pleasant. Unfortunate the inari has warm rice. I’m not a fan of warm rice in my Inari. Won’t return. . . . . .

Japanese
DashiWa Ramen, Arcadia
Another Ramen Shop popped up in Arcadia. DashiWa Ramen. The broth and noodles were good. I had the black garlic tonkotsu ramen and it was pretty good. Unfortunately the chasu tasted oily and didn’t have the texture I was expecting and was cut really too thin. But at least they did the broth and noodles right. The inari unusually had warm rice - which in my book is a big No-No. And the chicken karaage was too greasy. Unfortunately, I can recommend, not will I return. But it appears that DashiWa Ramen will be fine without me, since they cater to the local lunch crowd. But if you do go, just have the their ramen, no need for their sides. . . .
Japanese
Equinox Pasadena, Pasadena
Japanese Sandwiches at Pillow Talk in Pasadena. Pretty good sandwiches. I like the hot tamago egg sandwich the best. The egg salad sandwich with the hard boiled egg was also very good. Heck anything with egg I will probably like. The avocado mango sandwich was surprisingly not bad - and I don’t crave avocados. The tiramisu drink was interesting - probably won’t order it again. Other than that I like these sandwiches and would gladly return and recommend. Who cares what and all those others say if they feel Pillow Talk allegedly copied Konbi certainly didn’t invent these sandwiches, they were one of the first to copy them from Asia. . . . .

dzine it, New York
I can’t believe how cold it is in NYC. This is the fourth ramen shop we’ve tried. I had the Triple Pork Triple Garlic Mazemen and wifey had the spicy red chili ramen. We started with the Japanese Fried Chicken. All three had big bold flavors, which I believe is the “go big or go home” thought. The chicken felt Americanized, along the lines of something orange with the sweet crust. I liked the spicy red chili ramen more than my selection with the hearty broth. I did like the big chunk of pork and the soft boiled egg. Next time, I’d like to try the more traditional ramens.
Japanese
Brooklyn Bagel & Coffee Company, New York
Yet another hot bowl of ramen noodle soup at in Brooklyn. Also had the boneless chicken, fried chicken wings, and a spinach salad. The boneless chicken was better than the chicken wings. The spinach salad was surprisingly good too. The noodles, the Ganso shoyu ramen, were ok, while the broth was much better.

Japanese
Jun-Men Ramen Bar, New York
Ramen in . We had the tonkatsu ramen and the I shoyu ramen, each with unique broths and ramen noodles. Tonkatsu had thin and more firm noodles with a heavy rich broth. The I Shoyu ramen had a wavy slightly thicker noodle with a little shoyu flavored broth. On a cold night, I believe the tonkatsu is better choice. And any other day, the shoyu would be a fine choice. Didn’t get to try the ox tail ramen (only 20 bowls a day). But did try the stuffed chicken leg with foie gras, which was very interesting with subtle flavor and texture. Thanks for video from But the 1 hour wait sucks. But on a cold winter night the hot soup is just right

An Okinawan lunch at Habuya in Tustin, CA. Nice udon with good broth flavor, as expected. The pork katsu - was good and strangely moist, from being pre-sauced coating. The pork belly with poached egg is as decadent as it looks. But the rice was cooked with too much water - too sticky. Next time I’m gonna try the ramen.

One of my favorite ramen shops in LA. Super crowded on a Saturday night. It strangely they are now the Spirit Airlines of ramen, which means everything is a la carte. Their basic ramen is just noodles, broth, green onions, ginger, and a couple of slices of pork. Everything else, like typical the typical egg, bamboo shoots, corn, seaweed, etc is extra. Sure they have preset combinations - which is so American. Anyways.m, I still like the place, but hate the wait. Check out their big festival at the beginning of September st their Gardena location.
