One of the 3 remaining historic Japantowns in the United States. Beautiful architecture and cute restaurants and storefronts that would make a nice setting during a walk on a day off.

Light foodie-oriented brunch & lunch fare with tons and tons of room to spread out. Seriously the largest coffee shop I've been to...maybe ever. Open late for a coffee shop too.

Delicious fast-food greek fare near San Pedro Square. Very budget friendly. Careful on East Santa Clara Street at nighttime, however- some unhappy people camp out in front after dark.

Very cute and affordable mom & pop Japanese restaurant downtown. Great decor and happy hour. Huge selection of rolls that it takes us longer to pick one than to scarf it down.

Delicious Tonkatsu ramen in a mom & pop setting in Japantown. You know they're doing it right when the majority of the staff and the clientele speak English only as a necessity. Tiny, so you may be waiting a bit during the rush.

Some of the best noodles I've had in the South Bay. Try the Tom Yum, you won't regret it. There's another location on 2nd and San Carlos as well.

Essentials

Staff is really friendly and place is well-kept (for your average laundromat) and has various sizes of washers/dryers. Just across from House of Bagels, convenient for grabbing a bagel and a coffee while you wait.
