The 18 Best Kid-Friendly Restaurants in LA - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"This busy Japanese chain (with locations in Sawtelle, Torrance, and DTLA) has a cafeteria set-up that makes it ideal for hungry toddlers who unwisely pushed their oatmeal on the floor this morning. Slide your tray down the ordering line while telling the chefs which noodles and toppings you want (the cold beef-tsuke is our favorite), make a pit-stop at the heat-lamp tempura station, grab a drink, and pay up. The interactive process is fun for kids, plus portions are shareable, prices are reasonable, and the staff are pros at handling high chairs and noodle spills." - garrett snyder, brant cox, cathy park
