Today I’m at Tokyo Fast Food in Sawtelle!
I’ve only been here once and this is one of my favorite restaurants in LA so far. It reminds me of the best kind of Chinese takeout place - small, not too fancy, authentic, and delicious food. There is seating, but many people are coming in and out with takeout. It’s a bit of a hole in the wall in a less glamorous strip mall in Sawtelle Japantown.
Parking is much easier than in the busy Nijiya Market strip mall! It’s packed and difficult to get into Nijiya’s small garage there, but here there are just enough spaces. It’s not too crowded but not empty either.
It’s not the fanciest Japanese food you can find in Sawtelle by any means, but it’s good! It’s similar to what you would find at a Sarku restaurant in a mall, but this one is family owned. Also, I suspect overall, it’s better quality than a Sarku.
