I've had unswerving loyalty to Oomasa for the four years I've lived in Los Angeles. While I've eaten at a variety of Japanese restaurants across the greater LA-area, I still return to this restaurant because of his cozy atmosphere and its well-priced bento bunch lunches and dinners. There's a little bit of everything on the menu including vegetable and shrimp tempura, beef, chicken, and salmon teriyaki, udon noodles, and of course, sushi. The best value is the bento box as it offers a little bit of everything, I usually get the #1 which has chicken teriyaki, macaroni salad, green salad, tempura, and pickled vegetables. It also comes with miso soup and green tea ice cream for dessert. While Oomasa can get crowded on the weekend, service is still prompt and you can also opt for seating at the sushi bar. Open late and conveniently located in the Little Tokyo Plaza where you can also visit a Japanese grocery store, bakery, and sweet shop.
Pros: Great Ambience, Quick Service, Good Value
Cons: Can get crowded
