Yuko Kitchen

With locations in both Miracle Mile and Downtown, Yuko Kitchen has been serving Angelenos affordable, classic Japanese starters, healthy salad-filled rice bowls, vegan cookies and other delightful, takeout-friendly fare since 2012. For a lunchtime takeout meal that doesn't break the bank, I recommend their rice bowls with spicy salmon, garlic albacore or teriyaki chicken. Though it’s not the absolute best Japanese food in town, the tasty, health-conscious cuisine will leave an impression on you long after you finish your meal—and the plant-filled dining rooms make for a cheery atmosphere during a casual lunch or dinner.
