"Specialties: Tokyo Original Hamburg, Okonomiyaki, Curry Udon There’s no shortage of fun group dinner spots in Koreatown, but Tokyo Hamburg is unique. This rowdy Japanese restaurant feels like a party from the moment you walk in—pop music blasts over the speakers, beer and sake are being chugged at a Friday night pace (even if it’s Tuesday), and the smell of burger patties sizzles on individual stone grills. It’s basically a DIY smash burger situation, and though it seems a bit gimmicky, the meat itself is fantastic and exactly what you want to be putting into your body before a long night of drinking." - Brant Cox, Nikko Duren, Sylvio Martins
