Time Out says

Run by third-generation Little Tokyo local Glen Ishii, this café blends traditions old and new alike with mouthwatering Japanese-influenced breakfast fare. Paying homage to Tokyo Café, the space's previous iteration founded by Ishii's grandmother, JiST serves a classic ketchup omurice and the must-order chashu hash, made using a secret marinade first used over 70 years ago. Served with breakfast potatoes and two six-minute eggs, it's the perfect dish for sharing alongside the JiST's French toast, which is pre-soaked in a crème brûlée base for 24 hours. We also enjoy the weekend-only Lucky Ducky: a Chinese scallion pancake topped with eggs sunny side up, duck confit and slices of orange.
