Love that place but they are always so busy


Wadatsumi. The curry rice is so good! Beef bowl is still the move but I was craving Japanese curry and I had a friend who wanted to try the beef bowl


Friend says Japanese Fanta is a thing. Got the other soda just because it’s Dragon Ball


This place inside of Mitsuwa has some really good onigiri and bentos.

The Kinokuniya is so small. I remember back in the day at the old location it was so big. Still got some great merchandise. They got some Berserk early volumes 1-5 that can be hard to find at times because everyone buys volume 1. Also some Vagabond too. GOAT manga’s! Wish Vagabond will start up again.


Spotted this at Tokyo Central! What?!!?!!!

Sweet and sour pork. Not battered. Mild in both sweet and sour.

A stir fry of beef liver, sprouts, carrots, green onions. Delicious with some spice.

Gyoza. Super light skin in comparison to Northern Chinese.

I gotta try that too.

Have you had the takana fried rice at Ojiya?

I’ve never been to ojiya

Ojiya is pretty good. The decor is pretty ragtag but the cooking is solid. Not better than Hachi or Otafuku but fine for that part of Torrance.

Dumpling Mix. New spot opening up next to gluten free bakery Kirari.

Willinghams BBQ is the real deal legit. Come on the weekends for the beef short rib.

There’s a tacos Leo’s at Lomita near the 110. Still my favorite pastor in LA


Cops were also shutting down the 110 night market unfortunately. There were a lot of people crowding around and filming.

Okay so they make their own housemade coconut cream……

Most Thai restaurants are using canned

But I just confirmed they are using their own coconut cream for the Tom Kha which also includes young coconut meat!

I need to try this asap
