Old Pasadena
23 E Colorado BlvdLittle Tokyo on the north eastern edge of Downtown is home to many Japanese eateries and shops. The plaza that houses the infamous Shabu Shabu House has live open air karaoke for brave would be singers, Japanese gift shops, and a Japanese market with imports from Japan. Check out Daikokuya (really good ramen), but be prepared for a wait. Might as well plan to put your name down and spend an hour exploring the shopping complex before coming back to claim your seat. There's also a Japanese American Museum across the street. The corner of 2nd and Central has a Starbucks that opens late - a great spot for people watching.
