The exterior of Playground was used as the "Nipon Relaxation Spa", where James Bond takes Pola Ivanova and tickles her "Tchaikovsky", before stealing her casette tape in A View to a Kill (1985). Read more

Of all the tips I have read so far, I cannot believe no one talked about their fried chicken with sweet and spicy sauce. It's so bomb with yogurt soju that I don't get why you ordered other items.

unexpectedly delicious korean food at a late-night karaoke place in the middle of japantown. i highly recommend the mool naeng myun (cool soup) and the chajamyun (noodles in black bean sauce).

After a movie at Sundance Kabuki, come here to be the star. You can eat, drink, and occupy a private karaoke booth until 2 AM, living the rock star dream. Read more

Deep fried potstickers are amazing. Pairs really good with a cold OB.

It's great that they have a happy hour 7 days a week from 5-7PM, check your bill though as twice they forgot to apply the 50% discount.
