Suehiro Mini

This cozy restaurant has left the best impressions! Hospitable hosts, delicious dishes, beautiful presentation, and wonderful desserts. Having tried so many Japanese restaurants, this one is, without a doubt, the best I’ve visited - traditional Japanese cuisine made with love and care. Just some things to keep in mind: 1) be patient for the food, as there are only a few staff and waiter. 2) no alcoholic beverages. 3) somewhat inconspicuous location Aside from what I just pointed out, I recommend Suehiro Mini to everyone! I would like to come back here again and again.

We had gone to the original Suehiro in Little Tokyo, but the line and the wait was too long. So we scampered to this location where there's a small free parking lot that has open spaces and despite the cafe and menu being slightly smaller in size, it is just more comfortable. The food is solid, we had the ramen (nice flavor) and katsu curry (light with carrots and potatoes) hit the spot. The katsu is nice and crispy. We also had chicken karage but there was a slight burnt flavor. Outside ambience is eh but the inside is cozy and inviting.

Pretty decent Japanese restaurant in ChinaTown with affordable price. They have lunch special on weekdays, but you might need to pay extra for toppings or meat options. The lunch special menu in the restaurant might not be accurate. I tried calling to order lunch specials a couple weeks ago, and they told me different special dishes compared to the ones I saw in the restaurant.
