The Japanese Village is one of those places that you need to visit at least once. Weekends are are always packed and you get to see some very interesting people and attire. It can be overwhelming at times but entertaining nonetheless. There are two bakeries and the pastries and breads are always fresh. Lots of little restaurants to choose from so take your time and walk around and check the menus first. Whichever you pick, it will be delicious. The grocery store is filled with unique produce so make sure to check it out.

This place is not what I imagined it to be. Super overpriced, unlicensed shops and underwhelming. I would spend time elsewhere.

While waiting for a table to dine at Sushi Gen, I walked around Little Tokyo. The streets were so dirty, full of trash, and smelled bad. So disappointing!

Outdoor mall across the street from the Metro station, with a lot of restaurants and specializing in stores selling Japanese culture (video games, manga, anime, Sanrio).We came on a Sunday late morning/early afternoon, and it was fairly busy (as the rest of Little Tokyo was not). I think Plaza is the right word: it is meant to be walked fairly quick if just seeing what is there (only one story), but each store holds a lot of different items that can be perused at leisure. I did notice that many of the stores had queues, to keep the inside from getting too crowded. Others did not...I think it depends on the store. There was a very cute vendor selling handmade, crocheted items (Amigurumi), which started us up in a good mood.

The beating heart of Little Tokyo and a great place to visit whether you are wandering solo, hanging out with friends and family, or on a date. It is clean and well-maintained and always feels safe enough to me. We came here during the pandemic, and it is heartening to see it not only survive but thrive again. There is a nice variety of shopping and dining options, and it is a fun place to take photos. It is also centrally located, has a parking garage, and is within easy walking distance to the rest of Little Tokyo. Some places validate part of the parking fee, and some places are cash only. Hours vary.The only drawback is that there are NO public restrooms. Some restaurants do have restrooms for customers only - but depending on your timing these might not be open yet. Don't count on the nearby hotels, outdoor plazas or museums, either - they all have the same policy. The outdoor area is dog friendly, but be prepared for large crowds and other people with dogs!

Most impressive cultural attractions in a city I've been to by far. I love how the walkway is decorated with lanterns and other Japanese festive decorations in the plaza. It really does feel like a piece of Japan in the heart of Los Angeles. There are a lot of shops, restaurants, and dessert places to choose from around here. Great experience and a must-go when visiting the city

Asked about personal loans and their answer was to go online. Turns out Chase doesn’t do loans. Friendly service but seems like employees doesn’t know their own bank’s services and products…

One of the most central iconic locations of little Tokyo. I love that the area is starting to get lively again with lots of people. Great Japanese stores, restaurants and snack shops at this plaza. It is also close to the Japanese American National Museum and MOCA as well. Cool place to hangout and experience Little Tokyo in Los Angeles. Gets pretty crowded there though!

So fun and pretty! There is a parking structure or street parking. Great shops and restaurants. It's decorated so pretty with a tree for Christmas. We went to Sushi & Teri and it was SO GOOD! My sister had a huge sushi roll and I got a salmon bento box. I'm still in the "nom nom!" I'm definitely going back! Honeymee was also so yummy with real honeycomb on milk ice cream. Yum! There are also cute cafes, bakeries, record shop, anime, groceries, and shops to get a cute gift or souvenir. There's a Japanese mail close by. There is a good priced plushy store. I wanted the Boba Plushy! Good for kids and seniors. It's across the street from the Metro so could hop on and go to Santa Monica.

What a gem in the middle of Los Angeles! In L.A. visiting for a few days and this quaint little 'village' was the perfect way to spend the afternoon and shop. Nightlights for me were: - Sanrio - I'm a fan but had to wait in the line (20-30 min on a Saturday) to enter; if you're looking for Sanrio licensed products this is a must stop. The hits are the TokidokiXSanrio items. - Nijiya Market - crowded Japanese market has the cutest snacks and I'm still on the quest for Bourbon Alfort Mini Chocolate Premium: Rich Strawberry. They carried some of the other flavors but I'm still holding out for the first (and best) flavor I tried: Chocolate Premium: Rich Strawberry. Tip: There's a parking garage for the Japanese Village and Nijiya Market will validate.
