It was really fantastic food and service. Decore and ambiance was cluttered, but entrancing. So much to catch your eye. It really took me back twenty years, when I lived in Tokyo for a few months. But it also reminded me of this peculiar little Japanese cafe in Potts, Point, Sydney, as well. Wonderful menu. One thing I adored was the Poki (sp?) salad; rice, seaweed, tuna and lettuce. Really delicious. What a great find! Thanks for your review! So, I went to Daichan for lunch the other day. It was really fantastic food and service.

I live nowhere near it, and never go any longer, but I continue to regularly crave "The Protein Bowl," brown rice, tofu, edamame, hiziki...and probably other ingredients I'm forgetting. It is soul satisfying.

I would agree, it IS the best Udon in LA. The staff is so friendly. Wonderful spot and will be back for sure. I ate there tonight! I would agree, it IS the best Udon in LA. The staff is so friendly.

We went all the way Downtown for basic Japanese (izakaya-style) homecooking at Izayoi on S Central Ave (which was fantastic), and all this time there is a place <i>a mere 5 mins walk</i> from my home? I really should check out my 'hood more exhaustively... Thanks heaps for the write up -- am eager to try this local place! Damn!
