First time at this location since they moved. Though i miss little tokyo spot. Place has street parking metered. Quick service. Quiet on a weekday. Has Japanese whiskey, bar has a tv, good for groups. Plenty of seating. Has private dining area too. I get my usual the salmon chazuke. Soo good i usually crave it during the winter, but today was the exception. I also got the veggie tempura. Note: it has sweet onions tempura and usaly i dislike onions but not today it was sweet. read more

Today was my second time at this location. The flavor and love is still there. My Mom's favorite is the house special. We were there for a private event and it was buffet style. I ordered a special order of the house special. The server may or may not have told me it was on the buffet. It's okay, this way my mom has leftovers to take home. She was a little disappointed because there were too many bell peppers and no tofu. Everything was hot and delicious on the buffet. I was the last person to eat. Curry had the right amount of kick. Yakisoba wasn't quite the noodles I'm used to but the flavor and ratio of vegetables were good. Chicken karaage was super tender and delicious. Probably my favorite. Gyoza and California rolls. The restaurant is beautiful. Very spacious and much more seating. Booths, long tables and chairs, patio seating and a private room. A beautiful mural with the owners Mom and Auntie adorn the wall. The only down side is no ADA bathroom. The bathrooms are down 1 flight of stairs. There is no elevator. A staff member had to take us to the building next door to let us in the bathroom. Then they have to wait there to walk us out. There were NO toilet seat covers or one square of toilet paper in the three stalls of the women's bathroom. There was also an abandoned ice machine in front of the women's door so my 99 year old mother's walker wouldn't fit and I had to walk her in. What if it was a wheelchair? Anyway, I had to ask for toilet paper and luckily the men's room had some. But very inconvenient for any ADA customers. read more

We haven't been to Suehiro DTLA since they were pushed out of Little Tokyo by bougie inflation so we were finally able to find the new location and eat. As always, so outstanding! Their presentation is a little fancier these days but then, so is their beautiful new building. The food? Still a home run. The prices? Still the same: reasonable and great for your wallet. It was hot as all get out when we arrived, so our usual menu choices were sadly set aside in favor of some summer yummies: silky, chewy cold soba noodles with a cold dashing stock and green onions, gyoza, tempura shrimp and veggies with a dipping sauce and cold iced glasses of mugicha. Heaven! So happy to have come back. We dream of this place. read more

Suehiro DTLA - Ramen Near Me - Los Angeles, California

There's just something iconic and nostalgic about Suehiro. Yes, it seems a little overpriced now and the location has changed from the original late-night more diner-esque location. The place is nicer than the original and it's an interesting location. Downstairs where the restrooms are located looks like a bank vault (?). Interesting architecture! Anyway, I heard that they will be relocating again soon? Anyway, I do miss the old Suehiro, lots of memories there. But if you happen to be in Little Tokyo and catching a show nearby, it's a decent place to eat. Just be a little careful as Little Tokyo area is right by Skid Row. read more

Suehiro DTLA - Chazuke! - Ramen Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Yesterday evening, June 12th, my mom and I went to Suehiro DTLA Cafe for dinner. I had visited this restaurant a very long time ago when it was located in Little Tokyo. Recently, it came back to mind, so I looked it up and found out that the Little Tokyo location had permanently closed. After doing a little more research, I discovered that they had relocated to DTLA. I had been craving a Hamburg steak lately, which was one of the main reasons I decided to visit. My mom ordered the Sukiyaki, and I ordered the Hamburg steak. We shared both dishes, and unfortunately, the Sukiyaki was unbelievably salty. It tasted as if someone had poured an entire bottle of soy sauce into it. Even when eaten together with the rice that came with it, it was still overwhelmingly salty. The beef was also very tough, which made the dish even more disappointing. As for the Hamburg steak, the portion size was extremely small. On the positive side, it came with a generous serving of rice, a salad, and miso soup. The Hamburg steak itself tasted good, but it was severely overcooked and heavily charred, which was a huge disappointment. Until recently, I wasn't particularly focused on my health, but both of my parents have been dealing with health issues, and seeing that has made me much more health-conscious. I've been trying to avoid burnt foods and charred meats whenever possible. I've also cut out ham, sausages, sugary juices, and sodas. Because of that, I was especially disappointed to see my Hamburg steak burned so badly that parts of it were almost black. The restroom required walking down a very long flight of stairs. While it was spacious and clean, it had a somewhat eerie atmosphere, probably because it was located in the basement. There were only stairs and no obvious alternative access, which made me wonder how customers with disabilities would be able to reach the restroom. The service was very friendly and welcoming. However, between the disappointing food, the inconvenient parking situation (street parking only--fortunately, thanks to my usual incredible parking luck, I managed to find the one available parking space), and the difficulty of accessing the restroom, I don't think I'll be returning. Overall, I was especially disappointed by the food, and for that reason, I probably won't be visiting again. But, I gave the tip 20%. Cuz, the service was friendly. read more

Delicious food and trendy interior! You can't go wrong here The waiter was super kind. I believe they are known for their hayashi. My friend got it and loved it. I had their menchi and was super good. Their bathroom is down stairs and the interior leading to it is so beautiful! I can see people throwing parties here. Kind of a speakeasy vibe. read more

Friends invited me to Suehiro for a Japanese breakfast! Wow! It was worth all the hype! They are located in a vintage building in DTLA. Such a cute space! For breakfast, there are 7 teishoku / set meals to choose from. You pick your meal and choose 3 side dishes. You can also get side orders if you want more! I ordered the broiled Saba. Sides were the chawanmushi egg custard, marinated salmon, marinated tuna, and salmon eggs Ikura. Everything was authentic and delicious! Yiu can choose the AYCD (all you can drink) green tea for $5. Self serve tea of four tea choices. Service was great! Tons of street parking on the weekend. Everyone enjoyed their meals! read more

Love love this spot!! Finally got a chance to visit after their breakfast and got dinner here Saturday night. My partner got the ramen and I got the chicken menchi katsu set. The chicken menchi katsu was soooo filling and delicious! I couldn't even finish 1 and gave the rest to my partner. Everything in the set was delicious and presented well. Ramen was pretty standard and felt super clean compared to some of the tonkatsu ramen I've had before. Service is great they are so friendly and on top of it. Truly love this gem and it's so important for small businesses in the community to thrive. I will continue to support this joint when I'm in DTLA. Also so thrilled they're opening a 3rd location in Little Tokyo!! read more

Let me start with...DO NOT MISS Saturday's AUTHENTIC Japaneses breakfast! My group of 6 people- all newbies to Suehiro DTLA- enjoyed a special and delightful breakfast served and narrated by the one and only Mr. Kenji, the 2nd generation owner of Suehiro. All of us enjoyed a different breakfast set which included 3 Small sides. The Saba or mackerel set was grilled perfectly. The eggs and sausages were tasty. I ordered the ochazuke w zuke tuna and zuke salmon. All was so fresh. I added the dashi broth that comes in a cute mini tea pot and took the dish to the next level!!! We all ordered the bottomless tea and coffee and enjoyed 4 different flavors of tea. Such an epicurean delight! The ambiance is simple but reflective of a Japanese cafe. I will be back on another weekend so I can taste my way through all the wonderful tastes. Thanks Mr. Kenji for a memorable first visit! read more

The food was incredible, the atmosphere was extremely relaxing, and our waiter was very attentive and kind! In my 3 day weekend there, I went back twice because I enjoyed it so much. My friends and I were bummed that we missed the omurice (served only on Mondays @ Dinner) but everything was still delicious! We came on our friend's recommendation and I plan to at least once every time I'm in DTLA. read more

I was craving Japanese comfort food for lunch yesterday since it was cold and rainy. Suehiro was a convenient option nearby, and most reviews spoke highly of their rice bowls and Japanese grilled fish set meals. My cousin and I were able to make a reservation very easily through Yelp. We were seated immediately upon arrival and placed our order soon after. Our meals came with miso soup, which was simple and clean-tasting, like most restaurant miso soups tend to be. BROILED SABA - 18.50 This was a set meal that came with a generous portion of broiled saba, rice, and a variety of side dishes. The saba was lightly seasoned with salt, and the skin was nicely crisped from the fish's natural oil. The side dishes were pretty solid, but nothing mind-blowing. I liked how homey this set meal was, rather than overly restaurant-style. My cousin got the sukiyaki, which was rich and slightly sweet with an abundant of toppings. I'd definitely consider getting that next time. Overall, the service was fast and hospitable, and the food was comforting and satisfying. The menu is quite extensive, so there's much more to try, and pricing is pretty reasonable for downtown LA. read more

I love the chazuke and recommend it if you are looking for something warm and soupy, but not too heavy on a cold day. You'll receive a teapot with broth to pour over a bowl of rice with your choice of protein, such as salmon or cod roe, with bits of radish and seaweed. This is also my second time coming back for their dessert. There is a cup of hojicha served with the hojicha pudding, and a cup of green tea with the green tea cream pudding. It's not too sweet, the teas complement its counterpart very well and is overall super delicious :3 read more

Came with a friend on a holiday and was able to find street parking easily. Not sure if that's the norm as I tend to avoid DTLA which is known for bad parking. I've been to the original location many years ago and I was excited to support the business in their new location. Interior was great! Nice and clean and I loved sitting in the cute booth. Food (3/5) I was pleased by the depth of flavor in the sukiyaki, however the beef was very overcooked and the broth was extremely salty. The broth itself was great but could just have used some extra water or less salt. The veggies were also a little overcooked for my liking as well making them extra salty from the broth. Service (4/5) We arrived at 12:30 and although the place was mostly empty, it still took a while for them to bring us water and take our order. We also never were offered water refills. Service was still friendly and people were kind. Overall, I still have a soft spot for Suehiro but will try other menu items next time! read more

Bummed that Suehiro is over in the Old Bank District now...damn gentrifiers kicking longtime tenants out of Little Tokyo...but am glad to hear they've recently signed a lease with the Little Tokyo Service Center to return to their historic roots. That being said, like Kouraku over on 2nd Street, Suehiro was founded in the 1970s and has long been a neighborhood favorite for its post-war, pre-bubble, Showa-era aesthetic and fare. You're not coming here for California Rolls or ramen (which they offer, but that's not what they specialize in), but the dishes Japanese people consider comfort food...curry, oyakodon, tonkatsu, and reasonably priced box lunches. It's the type of working-class food one would associate with any solid small town diner, except in Japan...and if that's what you're looking for, I generally prefer Suehiro to its longtime competitor, Kouraku. Kenji, the son of the original owner and current proprietor is a staunch supporter of the community, having grown up on the streets of Little Tokyo, and along with Brian over at Fugetsu-Do, Ryusei at Mr. Ramen, and Philip at Azay are all second and third generation business owners that have been manning the barricades against gentrification and need our support! As you can tell from the businesses I tend to praise here on Yelp...I've long been a proponent of supporting locally owned businesses whose owners are active in the local community and reinvest in little league teams and donate to local schools, it's more important than ever to shop and eat local, and to stop offshoring our hard earned dollars to out-of-state corporations who take our money and pay for space tourism or supporting policies god knows what and where. read more

It was wonderful & nostalgic to dine at Suehiro DTLA today for a sumptuous Japanese breakfast. I had the mackerel, everyone in our party of 6, enjoyed their breakfast & the 3 side dishes you choose. Equally enjoyable & educational was owner Kenji Suzuki sharing the stories of the original Suehiro restaurant in Little Tokyo on First Street, owned & operated by his mother & her sister -- they would be proud -- Kenji shared Suehiro DTLA's recognition as best Japanese restaurant & nighttime favorite. read more

Came here late night and it was a great option since not many solid spots are open that late. Ended up getting the soba set and overall it was really solid. The food hit the spot and portions were satisfying. Service was quick and servers came to check on us periodically. Location is pretty central in Downtown LA, which made it convenient, though the surrounding neighborhood felt a little rough at night. I opted for garage parking for peace of mind, while my friend found street parking. We also got the spicy tuna crispy rice appetizer, which was good -- nice crunch, flavorful, and a solid way to start the meal. Prices felt moderate for the area and portion size. Overall, a dependable late-night spot in DTLA when you want something warm and satisfying. read more

Real Japanese staff and greeting upon entrance! You can practice your Japanese! The service was too notch, standard for Japanese attention! I'm so grateful to have this new place in the neighborhood! The sushi was delicious! I love their crispy rice tuna, they put a jalapeño and avocado slice on top! The ramen is official, I got the tonkotsu! It's a smaller version but I like having to order a lot of different stuff! The gyoza was delicious, I can't wait to try more of their extensive menu! My friend got sashimi, and then got jealous and order a ramen like mine! lol They have a full bar and the wine was good too! The hot tea came with two tea bags, good enough to share and add more hot water if needed! This will be a regular weekly dining option for this single lady! Loved, Love, Lovely! read more

We tried Suehiro DTLA last night and did not regret it after leaving the Dodger game late at night. Food (4/5): When you have a late night craving that's not a hot dog or a hamburger, Suehiro is the best place to go. They have almost every Japanese cuisine under the sun: rice bowls, udon, ramen, sushi, hand rolls, appetizers, you name it. To start with we had the meat gyoza and it was sugoiii~~ These cute little dumplings were packed with flavor. While it comes with 8, they will go fast. My bf had the Nabeyaki udon with medium spice. The medium does have some heat to it. He actually preferred my broth which was the standard taste. I ordered the Chikara which has mochi, spinach, and fishcakes. The mochi had parts of it were way too chewy and others that were so hard it was getting stuck to my teeth. I do want to come back to try their other dishes! Their oolong tea was also a nice end to the meal. Service (5/5): Even late at night, you won't have to wait long. A gentleman approached us saying beers were half off as long as you're wearing a particular dodger jacket AFTER the dodger game! They have other lunch specials that I feel are definitely worth it. Ambiance (5/5): An upscale looking restaurant that reminded us of our travels in Shinjuku. You'll see many groups and couples coming from the Dodger game. There are plenty of tables for all group sizes. Price (5/5): With the two dishes, two beers, tea, and an appetizer I paid about $75. Not bad! read more

I love going for late night meals and snacks, especially when I feel like reading and doing some work. The staff is always pleasant and friendly. Suehiro has a good history in Little Tokyo since its opening in 1972, and they are one of the oldest legacy restaurants in the area. Sadly, a few years ago, the landlords were unwilling to honor the five decades in Little Tokyo and had raised rents and driven them out. However, due to the loyalty and love of the community and organizations like Little Tokyo Service Center, they will return to Little Tokyo. Prior to the move from the first street location, I remember it being like a time capsule, an old diner with fluorescent lights, photos on the wall about its past, and handwritten signs. The Downtown location is a few blocks from Little Tokyo in Historic DTLA on the corner of 4th & Main St. Reborn in a modern downtown space, they blend the industrial textures with contemporary warmth. There's a lot on the menu. Japanese comfort food. Curry. Hamburger. Yakatori on Tuesdays. Ramen and udon. Sushi and sashimi. Teriyaki. Rice bowls. Omurice on Mondays is something I have yet to try. If you can afford the extra egg on the dishes, it's probably a good idea. read more

Super cute restaurant with awesome ambiance. Food was delicious and service was great. Came by after a concert and the restaurant had a pretty decent crowd. Wasn't empty but wasn't super packed. We ordered the Sukiyaki which was DELECTABLE and an equally good Takoyaki and Agedashi Tofu. Honestly still thinking about the Tofu. The rice flour shell for it was so crispy and the tofu was super silky. Flavor was incredible. Definitely will be coming back here. This was one of the most memorable restaurants and meals for our staycation.

I went here recently with one of my gf's and it was by random chance because she wanted breakfast in the area and she was also feeling some sushi so this was the pick and I am sooo glad we chose this spot. The server was so friendly and adorable. This place gave off cute authentic Japanese/family vibes that were peaceful and that was what we needed that morning. I love the food selections they had. My gf chose something that the server recommended and I got the onigiri one but both were great (I got to try some of hers too). We both left super happy and said we would definitely come back there.

We really enjoyed Suehiro DTLA. The ambiance is definitely different from the original location but still very fun and comfortable - it's more modern and upscale looking. The large menu with lots of delicious options remains the same though. We each ordered something off the special menu. The hamburg steak with demi glaze was really good, served with corn and broccoli. The demiglaze paired with all those vegetables was especially tasty. My husband got the eggplant, peppers, and beef dish, which was also a very cozy dish. It took a while for the food to come out, but I may have also just been really, really hungry. The service was friendly and attentive throughout our meal. We're already planning to go back to try more items from their extensive menu - there are clearly plenty of options to explore, looking forward to coming back! read more

Surpasses expectations, lots of variety on the menu which is hallmark of authentic japanese restaurants - some unique things you can't get everywhere, service is unusually good. Hayashi rice for example. Parking not really an issue, one time found street parking, another had to go to garage across the street since the attached lot was full, did pay $12 for that unfortunately but it is what it is - not a detractor in my book esp for a good place like this. Seating is great in the booths, spacious inside. read more

Suehiro DTLA is one of those places that instantly reminds you why truly authentic restaurants matter. From the moment you walk in, it feels real. The owner greets you with genuine warmth, and the staff makes you feel welcomed in the best Japanese tradition--kind, attentive, and quietly thoughtful without ever being overbearing. The menu is wonderfully diverse, offering a wide range of classic Japanese dishes, all executed with care and respect for tradition. One absolute must is their family-recipe miso soup--it's deeply comforting, rich, and soulful in a way only something passed down through generations can be. It's the kind of dish that stays with you long after the meal is over. We're incredibly lucky that Suehiro was able to reopen in this location after the unfortunate events with their original location in Little Tokyo. Having them back feels important--not just for the neighborhood, but for anyone who values authentic Japanese cuisine and culture. If you can, make sure to come for their Japanese breakfast on the weekends. It's outstanding--beautifully balanced, deeply satisfying, and something you don't find easily in LA. The quality of the ingredients and the precision in preparation really stand out. What makes Suehiro special is the authenticity. If I don't look outside at downtown Los Angeles and instead focus on the décor, the flavors, and the calm, welcoming atmosphere, it genuinely feels like being back in Japan. That's not something many places can pull off. Suehiro DTLA isn't just a restaurant--it's an experience rooted in tradition, care, and craftsmanship. Highly recommended, and I'm so grateful they're here. read more

Suehiro DTLA - Traditional Japanese breakfast - Ramen Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This is a solid Japanese restaurant in the heart of DTLA, albeit in a somewhat sketchier part of downtown. Great vibes in the restaurant with huge TVs for sports fans. Cool decorations inside and overall a great place to have a dinner with friends or a date spot. They can easily seat huge groups in the middle of the restaurant but also smaller groups on the booths by the windows. Parking may be difficult given its location, so I chose to Uber here. They have a huge menu with every Japanese dish you can think of from sushi/sashimi to ramen and udon to rice dishes. I got the curry katsu chicken and was very impressed with the quality of the katsu! At a lot of restaurants, I find myself somewhat disappointed by the chicken katsu - it's usually too thin so it ends up being just crunchy; however, here at Suehiro, the katsu was very well made and there is a firm crunch with the perfect amount of chicken. The curry was solid - nothing to complain about and had some pieces of carrots, potatoes, and mushrooms. I also opted to add $1.75 to make it medium spice; to be honest, I thought this was weird that it cost extra to add some spice to the dish. The spice is honestly unnecessary; my friend got the same dish without the spice and it still tasted great! Overall, I really enjoyed my food here and coupled it with a cocktail. The service is attentive and the food comes out fast. I noticed that the servers had an eye for detail. There was a little kid running around the restaurant and she had grabbed a pair of chopsticks laying on an empty table. I noticed that and wasn't sure if an employee would come to replace it. Sure enough, one of the workers was attentive enough to notice and quickly replaced the chopsticks with a clean pair. I will definitely be back! read more

What an absolutely lovely experience. We stumbled into Suehiro tonight unexpectedly. Unfortunately we had no context and now I realize we didn't order their specialties. Fortunately, everything was delicious. I got the grilled salted mackerel with the cabbage salad, which was a wonderful filling yet light dinner and ice green tea. Perfect for such a hot night. My friend and I shared a spicy tuna + rice and it was great. We also shared a tuna bowl with a raw egg that was good but maybe not something I'd crave. My friend got a ramen that he said was great. Anyway, we got a list of things that people who love and are familiar with this place say isn't where they shine and we still had a very nice experience. I would probably order the salted mackerel and crispy rice + spicy tuna again, but I'm eager to order their curry rice and other dishes people say are so good. The service was absolute perfection. Memorably so! They were the perfect balance of attentive yet not on top of you. Of note, they have a cute little lounge in the basement with a couple of tables and a booth. I found it charming. Next time I go I plan to ask if I can sit there. read more
