Yapa in Little Tokyo serves up a delightful mix of Nikkei comfort foods and refreshing house-made sodas, perfect for takeout and Zoom hangouts.
"Much like our sleeping habits and belief in a higher power, Yapa’s menu has changed a lot during quarantine. Gone are the fresh ceviches and acorn breads served with caviar, but in their place is a new, concise selection of Nikkei (Japanese-Peruvian) comfort foods. That means dishes like beef soup made with corn broth and dry-aged beef, as well as pork ribs with Peruvian beans and pickled daikon - a.k.a. meals that pair really well with a meditation on life’s greatest questions, such as “Can happiness exist without suffering?” and “Seriously, where is my wallet?” Yapa is available for takeout and delivery, call (213) 947-3399 or find them on delivery platforms." - kat hong
"Having a sober quarantine? We applaud you. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t be drinking interesting stuff with your friends as well. Yapa, the Peruvian-Japanese restaurant in Little Tokyo, has a menu full of excellent house-made sodas that are light, refreshing, and will pull plenty of attention in a Zoom hangout full of whiskey and diets. Both takeout and delivery are available." - brant cox
