Taberu@Little Tokyo ★★★

New Tokyo Comfort Food Restaurant in Little Tokyo. Only opened for 1.5 weeks. Great pricing and great quality. Love the Seafood Tartar, which reminds me of the Poached Egg w/ Sea Urchin & Salmon Roe at Raku Las Vegas. Nice cocktails. Cocktails also available in 60 oz pitcher. Signature Lemon Sour had nice Lemon Sorbet on top to mix with. We did have trouble with our bill. Had our bill corrected 3 times after checking it each time and finally got it corrected. Reservations available on OpenTable. Street parking at Little Tokyo is challenging at night, especially on weekend nights.
