Never Give Up... Haru Ulala!

We went to one of our favorite spots in Little Tokyo tonight, Haru Ulala. Its an "izakaya", which basically translates to a Japanese style tapas restaurant that serves small plates and drinks. I think the name also has something to do with a race horse (if you look closely at the U on the sign outside its decorated like a horseshoe) but Im not 100% sure. The place has a really chill vibe, it's always crowded, and most importantly has these really cool hand drawn (in crayon) menus. Oh yeah... the food there is delicious and they have really cheap pitchers of beer too. The menu offers all sorts of little meats and vegetables and come grilled or deep fried, a good variety of sushi and other seafood dishes, and tons of other items like the "Japanese Pizza" that I can never remember the name of. Pretty much you just order a ton of different things and snack until you are about to explode. The only drawback to going there last night was that we weren't able to eat as much or drink as much as we would have liked to (no sake on a week night!). Also there was some French tourist family next to us that kept letting their little kid crawl around on the floor (kids are so annoying!). Otherwise it was a great time and meal as usual. If you're ever in Little Tokyo you should definitely check it out, and if its not open go to T.O.T., but I'll review that place the next time I go there.
