Slices Little Tokyo
8.1
An all-you-can-eat operation in Little Tokyo built around A5 wagyu and sushi at a price point that shouldn't work but clearly does—2,900+ reviews at 4.9 stars say the format delivers. The draw is volume-meets-quality: wagyu short rib and fresh sushi on a conveyor-style rotation where groups can graze without watching the bill. Best suited for appetite-first diners who want to explore a wide spread rather than chase a single composed plate.

Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? No - this is a casual, counter-service Sicilian pizza spot built for quick bites, not date night. The space is cozy but small, with a grab-and-go energy. It's a fun stop to share a square slice while exploring Little Tokyo, but not somewhere you'd linger over candlelight. Better as a spontaneous 'let's grab a slice' moment than a planned first impression.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes - Slices is a walk-in, counter-service pizzeria with no reservation system. You order at the counter and grab a seat. During peak lunch hours (12-1pm) the small space can fill up, but turnover is fast since most people are in and out quickly. No need to plan ahead.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes, in a practical sense - kids love pizza and the casual, no-fuss counter-service format means no one will stress about noise or mess. However, there's no dedicated kids menu or high chairs confirmed. The Sicilian square slices are easy for small hands. Best for a quick family pit stop while exploring Little Tokyo rather than a sit-down family meal.
Is it good for groups? Difficult for large groups - this is a compact, counter-service pizza spot with limited seating. A group of 3-4 could make it work, but anything larger would likely struggle to find seats together. For bigger groups in the area, consider a sit-down restaurant nearby. Ordering whole Sicilian pies to share does make it convenient for small groups.
Is there outdoor seating? Not confirmed - the location is described as a street-side pizzeria on 2nd Street in Little Tokyo, but dedicated outdoor seating has not been verified online. There may be a sidewalk bench or standing area, but a proper patio is unlikely given the compact storefront. Call ahead at (213) 395-0093 to confirm.
