| - When I first found out about J-Town, I was literally here every weekend.
J-Town is hands down the one and only place where you get a real, authentic Japanese feel. The foods/restaurants all around are super delish, no complaints. Be sure to try the katsu/curry combo, or the Father's meal directly inside the main building! You won't regret it!
The main building is split in 3 different sections. There's a section with fresh seafoods and meats, which are ridiculously pricey, and if they are actually imported from Japan ... I wouldn't actually know.The quality of the meats and seafoods look top notch though, so I guess that's a plus?
The next section is the bakery and grocery area. Now this is usually what I come to J-Town for. The bakery and sweets they offer are to die for, and look and even taste like they were made with the utmost of delicacy. I find they might not be as super sweet as Chinese bakery goods, but just as good!
The next section is a sit down eating area. They have a little food stall there, I can't seem to remember the name though. You just order up front, they give you a number and they deliver your freshly cooked food to your table. So be sure to have your number (which is on a plank of wood) visible enough so it'll be easier for the waiter/ress to find you!
All in all, J-Town is a definite place to check out if you're ever in the area!
My one issue with J-Town though, is it isn't big enough! I wish our J-Town could be as immense as California seems to have, or even like the K-Town we have here. J-Town could offer SOOOOOO much more and then some.
TIP: Be sure to have some moolah on you, J-Town isn't the cheapest. And, I don't know if they're still there. But there were these 2 guys standing outside making fresh takoyaki, which is a puff pastry made in a waffle cast iron with a piece of octopus inside. It was hands down THEE best takoyaki I have ever had in my life. Absolutely worth a try!
