"Perched on the bridge between Japan Center’s East and West Malls, I found an eccentric, family-run restaurant that's been operating since 1992 and is known as much for its collection of anime films and TV shows as for its menu of fusion foods like Japanese spaghetti and okonomiyaki pizza. Patti Smith has dined there several times and wrote, “I just love this place,” noting its twenty-three kinds of Japanese pasta and her favorites: flying fish roe spaghetti, watching continuous old episodes of Dragon Ball Z, and taking sips of Lenny’s wasabi beer. In what felt like mutual admiration, the chef even took a photo with her." - Caleb Pershan
