What Andrew likes about Kouraku:
This Japanese diner has in business forever, and I can see why! They have a very deep menu with Japanese and Asian-fusion dishes. Service is good and the booths are comfy and clean. The food is tasty and reasonably priced. Overall, this Little Tokyo mainstay is great for a quick lunch or a fun dinner! View all feedback. What Hannah Hernandez doesn't like about Kouraku:
Food was bland and overpriced. Ordered their Katsudon, gyoza, and takoyaki to go since there was such a long lineup. It came up to $50+ for these three dishes. The katsu and gyoza had almost no flavour and the takoyaki had only a small piece of octopus in each ball. A letdown since I really wanted to like this place due to its reviews. View all feedback.
