"Rainy days, after-work bites, whenever you only have $40 in your bank account (which is somehow supposed to last you until next Friday?) - Daichan is our go-to for almost any situation. This tiny spot in Studio City specializes in Japanese soul food at prices that won’t break the bank. Entrees hover around the $8-12 mark, like spicy curry udon, Japanese-style fried chicken, cold soba, and gigantic tempura rice bowls. Available for takeout and delivery." - kat hong
