Well actually, it's Little Tokyo.
The "journey" going there got us all really hungry. Maybe because it took us some time to get there. And of course, it was already dinner time.
Armed only with an address and our own "internal GPS" that guided us to turn here and there and to make those U-turns whenever we felt we're going the wrong way, we somehow found the place.
It's like a small village of Japanese restaurants. We were delighted to see a lot of guests inside the "village".
So the next few things in mind were: where to sit, what to eat? The dining tables and chairs are located in the open air plaza. It reminds you of that "food court set-up" in malls - only the seats are "owned" and reserved by the restaurant nearest to them. So if you're seated within this part of the restaurant, you can only order from another restaurant only if the item is not available on their menu.

But we wanted to try every unique and distinct flavor of Japan. And so what happened next was something similar to a "food walk"...in our case, the "Tokyo walk." But we were like curious wanderers that night, "drifting" from one resto to another...So, I changed the term into something more catchy and cinematic. Hence, "Tokyo drift". (Just don't expect skid marks on the floor ha-ha-ha :))
6 balls for 4 people so we equally divided it into ... well, I can't remember.

Again, shared by the four of us.
At this point, Nelson was already asking where we'd be settling for our "real meal". He complained to me that his stomach's being folded-up like origami.
So after our appetizers, we decided to have our main course at ...
Spicy tuna sashimi
We aren't junkie-junkies but we had to try their shabu-shabu :)

Assisted by the geisha/waitress, Nochie's about to try her hand on shabu-shabu cooking :)
We went home bloated feeling heavy like Sumo wrestlers.
Indeed, happy meal shared with happy people satisfies hungry tummies. Ha-ha-ha!
