Guelaguetza
Oaxacan cooking in Koreatown, with mole and tlayudas at the heart of the menu. A meal worth giving its own place in the day.

Kouraku
Japanese comfort food gives a Little Tokyo evening a relaxed sit-down option.

- 314 E 2nd Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012
Our take
Kouraku has been part of Little Tokyo’s food scene since 1976. Ramen and katsudon share the menu with Tenshin Chahan Ankake, a shrimp omelette laid over pork fried rice and finished with sauce.
Make it a meal stop during a walk around East Second Street. If you usually choose noodles, the rice dishes offer another way into the restaurant’s Japanese comfort-food cooking.
