"Mitsuwa, Mar Vista. If you miss the madness of Tokyo or want a true taste of Japan, Mitsuwa has it all. The food court alone is so extensive that we featured our favorite ramen spot Santouka as a separate entry. Other than ramen, Mitsuwa has Sushi, Soba, a full market and a stationery + magazine shop that stocks all your design-related goodies and weird anime fetishes. Get in before or after the lunch rush though if you want a seat in the food court, lunch time can be pretty cut-throat."
