Great tour! Our guide Brian was great and lots of fun. Would have liked to have had another savory tasting. I was a little sugared out at the end :)Written on Nov 09 2009

Brian was our adorable, very informative guide, a native to the Little Tokyo area. The morning tour was a bit sweets heavy - the afternoon tour might feature more savory dishes - but my husband and I would definitely return to CHADO TEA and to WAKASAYA so are thrilled to be introduced to them.Written on Jul 27 2010
This is a LOT of fun and now we want to experience the other tours this group offers.

The tour was fun. I could have done without the stop at the Mediterranean Restaurant since I was looking forward to total ASIAN immersion. Brian, our guide was knowledgable and lots of fun.Written on Jan 14 2010
All in all, it was a pleasant afternoon.

This tour was interesting-even though I grew up in S Cali, it was interesting to learn all the info about the Japanese culture and what Little Tokyo had to offer. Only drawback on this tour? We ate the majority of the food at this place called Spitz which wasn't even Japanese! The food at that place wasn't even that great-wish we could've had more Japanese food!Written on Jul 13 2010
