Tokyo Hamburg

The Best Places To Eat When You’re Merging Friend Groups - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"This casual Japanese restaurant in Koreatown flies completely under the radar, but if you’re in the mood for a big group dinner that could potentially get a little wild, go immediately to Tokyo Hamburg. The thing to order here is the namesake Original Tokyo Hamburg, a DIY smashburger situation where everybody cooks their own patties on hot stones that they bring to the table. It’s fun, interactive, and one of our favorite burgers in LA, plus, it gets everybody in your group comfortable with the fact that they’re sitting next to someone they have nothing in common with. Make sure several bowls of udon and a plate of okonomiyaki hit the table as well." - brant cox
