Reviews for Chinchikurin in Los Angeles, CA
A pleasant place to eat while visiting Little Tokyo. Bright & airy atmosphere and was fun watching the chefs prepare our meal. I... come from the DC area where we have a lot of Asian restaurants but I've never tried the Okonomiyaki before. What a deliciouscomfort food! It had layers of cabbage, meat, egg, and I added rice cake to mine. I made it crispy but maybe next time I'll tryit soft. It was delicious and hope I can find a place near me in DC that makes this!

This place is GOOD!!! I am a simple eating man but I went out in a limb and ordered from this place during a break at work. I... forgot what I ordered, but it well worth it. Big portions. Great taste. Not too saucy, not too salty. Exactly what I wantedfrom an Asian cuisine. I’m bringing the girl here next time. Read more
Amazing food and service! The waitresses were very nice and the food came out faster than expected. The food was also nice and... hot, all newly cooked! Just be careful to not burn your tongue while eating! Sadly the hot stove top experience isn't somethingthey do anymore since covid hit, but the place is still thriving! Surely recommend & would definitely come back! Read more
This restaurant is next the red towers! Can’t miss it. If you’re here to try it like I did, then come try it. But if... you’re here to get full off of one/two items, it’s not the place. Don’t come hungry like I did because their portionsaren’t that big and their price aren’t that cheap. We sat outdoors and I’m assuming that they allow the customers to makeit on the grill if it wasn’t for Covid. They have different options but the flavors seems to be very similar to one another.Only difference is the meat. They have several takoyaki options as well. Read more
Found this gem in Little Tokyo for a casual dinner and found the staff and food were great! Worth a visit for okonomiyaki and... takoyaki :) Our experience was unfortunately ruined when we were sprayed with detergent by one of the waitresses cleaning thetable next to us. Without question, our food was replaced… however when we reached home, our clothes were all discoloured.Bleach based detergent? Definitely glad we didn’t brush it off and keep eating! Please be careful when cleaning your tables,and spray away from patrons still eating on nearby tables. Read more
The okonomiyaki is cooked extremely well. I love the crunchy style noodles. The portion was so generous that I couldn't finish... it. However, I wish they had put mayonnaise on it and more cabbage. The service was pretty bad, but I think I got a newwaitress. She never came by to check on us after we ordered once. It gets pretty busy sometimes. There was a 30 minute wait. Read more
This is a southern Japan type food, the ones that I make at home have more cabbage than noodles, because our area is the Tokyo... area. It is still a delight to eat there, very filling and just beautiful worlds of art on plates that you can eat! Please come,it is so good. Read more
We came here for thanksgiving afternoon - the portion sizes are perfect for an individual. Totally shareable as well if you’re... less hungry. We got the Yakisoba noodles and matcha shaved ice and both were delicious. The noodles weren’t overly greasy, andthe seating on the patio seems to be for bbq and the tables were a bit higher while the chairs are lower. It was slightlyuncomfortable seating but that’s okay. The service was decent as well - nothing over the top and the food was fantasticoverall. It was a pretty crowded space during the holiday. I’d recommend coming here for lunch or dinner!! Compared to theother places in little Tokyo, this one seems to be pretty busy. Good Japanese food all around overall, but personal preference,I like places with more rice bowl options. Read more
