    Daichan is a true Los Angeles treasure. Their food is tasty, beautiful and filling. It's not your average sushi place, rather it's home style Japanese food. The décor is fun and service is excellent.

    Love this super homey Japanese restaurant. Super friendly staff and the poke bowl is out of this world. Get the bowl with soba noodles for something amazing. Valet parking is free

    I never miss out the opportunity to visit this place! Strong recommendation to this modern and stylish combination of restaurant and lounge bar, situated in the most beautiful street in central LA.

    The daimyou chirashi ($19) is a party on a plate. There’s a mound of sesame sushi rice covered by a fan of tuna, salmon, snapper, yellowtail, squid, scallop, albacore, mackerel, unagi, and salmon roe.

    Intriguing decor! Favorites: grilled octupus and tuna tataki. Didn't love the lomi lomi salmon (tasted like ceviche) or the catfish. Friendly service! Parking is $5 valet.

    Japanese soul with some Okinawan flair. We've been going for years. Love, love, love Daichan. The Poki bowls are delicious and the Saimin ramen is not to be missed. The real deal.

    Amazing and affordable restaurant! You should come and visit here! The waiters and the waitresses they have would always treat you better than the other restaurant in town.

    The Sukiyaki Bowl was delicious. I haven't been here in 4 years and it is just as great today as it was back then. 🔥

    Your japanese mom's comfort food at a cozy and eclectic restaurant. Vegans can get udon with kombu broth, and much more. Just ask!

    Very good Japanese restaurant in Studio City, small and intimate, get there early to avoid disappointment at lunchtime.

    Cozy and nice spot to have a poke bowl 😋. Come on the early side of lunch hour if you want to grab a table.

    If you have the option, GET the Hijiki Seaweed Rice. Its phenomenal and such a nice complement to your food (my fave dish is the Kawachi Chicken w/ it! ^_^)
