"Like most vendors at the ultra-hip ROW DTLA development, there's an effortlessly cool vibe at Pikunico, a fast-casual spot by Kuniko Yagi, formerly of Hinoki and the Bird and Sona. Yagi makes a delectable gluten-free karaage, a classic Japanese spin on fried chicken. Try it solo, or enjoy it like we do: as a sandwich, served on turmeric bread with spread, sprouts, and pickles. Speedy service caters to a grab-and-go lunchtime crowd. And if you’re not in the mood for fried chicken, you can always opt for her delicious homemade Japanese style curry, which also happens to be plant-based." - Hugh Garvey, Celeste Moure, Krista Simmons
