Otomisan

This tiny Japanese neighborhood spot dating back to 1956 serves as one of the few reminders that this Eastside neighborhood was once home to one of the largest enclaves of Japanese Americans in Southern California. Today, Otomisan serves affordable Japanese comfort food, including teriyaki plates, pork tonkatsu and warm, wakame-laced bowls of tempura-topped udon, all inside a no-frills, homey restaurant that happens to be a working piece of Los Angeles history.
