Food and shopping downstairs, karaoke upstairs - so make it an all-day affair! Plus, there's plenty of desserts and drinking along 1st & 2nd Streets.

If you plan to visit here, I suggest to park in the Office Depot parking lot. It's free for the first hour, and as long as you buy something(a bottle of water) in the store, it will be free all day :)

It's an outdoor plaza that has a lot of small little stores. Plenty of parking. Good for chill and hanging out with friends.

Crowded. Great places to walk around, eat, and window shop. Check out Mitsuru cafe while you're there! Hama sushi is also good for a traditional Japanese sit down experience.

Crowd is a mix of tourists, locals, and weebs. A good place to people watch after grabbing a snack at any one of the shops nearby.

Have your cash ready to pay for parking in advance! It's $7. They will return it back to you with validation.

Traffic on the 101, 10, 5, or 110 freeway? Stop by Little Tokyo because it's fun.
