About

Chinchikurin is a Hiroshima-based okonomiyaki chain operating multiple locations in LA. The Hiroshima style differs markedly from Osaka-style okonomiyaki — layers of cabbage, noodles, and egg are stacked rather than mixed. Both the Little Tokyo and Sawtelle locations offer this regional specialty rarely found elsewhere in LA.
