"Maneki has been a mainstay in Japantown for more than 100 years. Seats are tough to snag and basically require reservations through a text line (no such thing as Resy or Tock here). The menu is comprehensive and affordable, with Japanese classics from agedashi tofu to tempura and sukiyaki to sushi. Among its signature dishes, black cod collar miso is especially popular, perfectly charred on top with an underside that is oily, rich, and delicious." - Jay Friedman, Eater Staff
