DAIKOKUYA with the JO(E)s

A tradition is something that's not meant to be broken... So we do it over and over again. This is the tradition of the JO(E)s.

Long long long time ago (ok maybe not that long), There's Boy Joe (me) and there's Girl Jo (Joanna). Girl Jo used to live in LA and we would eat at Daikokuya ALL THE TIME.

The Daikokuya tradition became a tradition because we go there so much, but when Girl Jo moved to Seattle, the tradition continues... We try to meet every time she's in town to catch up on life and slurp down the best ramen in town.

Daikokuya is my favorite ramen restaurant in LA. Go ahead check this place out! You will not be disappointed.

scroll down slowly and get ready to drool...
















The meal was perfect! good company and good food.. There's nothing wrong with that :)

See you next time Girl Jo!

Far Far Away!

Far Bar in Little Tokyo should not serve food.

Everything about this little joint is dope, except for the food.
So, when you want to meet someone at Far Bar make sure you eat at Daikokuya before you head over!

And when you meet Bobby the bartender, remember to tip him extra! He is probably one of my favorite bartenders in Los Angeles!

THE GOOD (great ambiance and booze service)
check out their MAN VS SAKE event !!! see if you are bad ass enough to make the wall of fame!









THE BAD (over priced gross food)
If you are the owner of Far Bar, take notes ok? Don't get mad... I am just trying to help :)


dude, the seasoning is way too heavy! the vegetables look and taste like they were grilled 3 hrs before I placed the order and if you are going to salt the vegetables, please don't offer more sodium packed soy sauce on the side... srsly! ack


this is suppose to be a shrimp po boy sandwich? well, your bread is way too dry and why are you charging 7 bucks for two mini sliders? COME ON!


more calamari less batter

Far Bar, I will come have a drink or two with you again, I'll even come for MAN VS SAKE... but don't expect me to eat any of yo food... unless you fire your chef!!!
