Marufuku Ramen

Small arcade of Japanese claw machines and rhythm games. Cheap, indoors, and a reliable twenty minutes when the weather turns.

Boba shop older kids ask to go back to; an easy treat stop after school.

A tiny old-fashioned ice cream shop with dozens of flavors and shelves of candy, a neighborhood favorite since the early '90s.

Order on the iPad at your table and the sushi rides up on a bullet train. The kids' bento arrives on a robot.

Several dozen breads baked daily, plus kouign amann and morning buns, across the street from Raymond Kimbell Playground and the library.

A storefront gallery on Japanese American history, with shows that change every few months. Small enough for a school-age kid to take in.
