I didn't grow up on Mac n cheese and never really liked it...but after having the jalapeno mac n cheese here, I am hooked. On my way home from work, I usually stop in for a glass of wine but I always end up staying for more. The waiters/bartenders are very attentive and welcoming. There aren't many restaurants that have awesome food and service without burning a hole in your wallet. I have tried everything on the menu because they all sounded so interesting...and I have to say you can't really go wrong with any dish. I love short ribs and I have not found another restaurant that comes close to the short ribs at 15. The bacon wrapped figs (appetizers) are sooo good! And the Kobe burger is really really good. Overall, a great experience!
Pros: everything
Cons: nada

There are few restaurants on earth that I would give a 5 star rating to, but Kokekokko may deserve 6, if it was possible.
The low down:
The owner, Tomo-San is a "master" chef, bar-none. His Yakitori is the best that I have had inside or outside of Japan. As a matter of fact, I have never been keen or able to eat gizzard, heart, joints, etc. in any restaurant for any reason. The thought made me a bit ill so I always order the simple stuff. Tomo-San is smart enough to wait until you've had a bit of sake to offer up some of these delicacies and let me tell you - he has converted me. If you watch Tomo-San cook, and run the restaurant, he seems close to Robert DeNiro's character in Casino, with an incredible eye for detail and service. BUT...this is a Japanese restaurant run as if it was in Japan and possibly Japan of 20 years ago. The "attitude" of some of today's Japanese youth in service positions won't be found in Tomo-San's eyeshot although his staff is clearly more than a little intimidated by him. Think "Samurai master" who cooks food and you will understand Tomo-San's mind-set. And thank god for it. The old Japan and the heroes that exemplified it (Takakura-Ken, Fuji Junko, Tsurata Koji) can be found alive and well inside of Tomo-San's eyes and his incredible skill.
His personal treatment of his guests is exceptional. He knows that most of us are clueless as to Japanese etiquette and behavior. So expect to feel a little out of place when you first walk in but you will find that soon, you are put completely at ease.
The food is so good that I find myself dreaming of it. Don't believe me? Walk in and try one of his chicken meatball skewers. And a thigh. And a the wing with Japanese salt. You will freak out. The sake is great of course, especially the frozen Arabashiri which is very reasonable.
This is a great place to bring a girl, or friends, or to come alone.
Pros: Everything I can think of!
Cons: Honestly, the only thing I can say is that there is only 1 Tomo-San!

My husband and I dined at Drago last night. It was by far one of our best dining experiences. The restaurant is sleek, modern and has a friendly vibe. The service was superior. But, the food was beyond exceptional. We had the oxtail ravioli which was pefectly cooked and scrumptious. The chicken dish was the best in town. They have a huge list of pasta dishes with fresh ingredients. This eatery is the best in downtown L.A. We live on the westside and will be coming downtown quite often to eat at Drago.
Pros: Food, Decor, Service
Cons: None

The food here is incredible, the price is not so bad. You have to wait for a while for your food though. The location around the restaurant looks kind of dangerous, but its lower LA so there is no much to expect.
Pros: Food and price
Cons: location around the restaurant

I've been going to King Taco with my father ever since I was five or six years old and *always* get the same thing: two sopes al pastor with extra red sauce! It burns, but the flavor is SO good! Quick, clean, fast, and friendly - I've never had a bad experience at King Taco!

If you want to get a quick cup of coffee before work this is your place. The service is very friendly and they are quick. The price of a cup of coffee here is reasonable and well worth the buzz.
