Suehiro Mini

"This 47-year-old Little Tokyo joint, which was originally started by two sisters, is filled with all kinds of Japanese comfort foods, like chicken katsu curry, oyakodon (stir-fried chicken and egg), and zaru soba. Plus, most things cost less than $15 here - which actually might be even more comforting than the food itself. Call (213) 626-9132 or order through their website." - kat hong

"Like its name implies, Suehiro Mini is smaller than their flagship Little Tokyo location, but that’s pretty much where the downsizing ends. You can expect the same kind of soul-saving Japanese comfort food, like tonkotsu ramen, fried yakisoba noodles, and chicken katsu curry, a.k.a. the culinary equivalent of a forest bath or finally paying off all your parking tickets. Call (213) 947-3106 for takeout, available online for delivery." - brant cox, kat hong
