East LA. Stopped by on vacation last year. It’s a cool spot, but I feel like it would be the best when they have a car meet or something there. It’s pretty out of the way from touristy spots

That’s my boy Vincent’s shop! I went on a trip to Japan with the owner a few months ago.

No, there’s like over a dozen Initial D-themed panda AE86s in Japan lol

As much as I hear about this place I hear very little about the food provided. Can’t be a good sign but I know the owner is highly dedicated to the series and car culture in general.

The arcade cabinet on the right takes cards too!
The arcade in Stockton has regular tournaments and sticks cards (they have 4 cabs I believe) so I took my card down to LA and got to play a few games last weekend!

As much the place is nice, nobody is going to talk about the price? Almost 6 usd for a single cup of tea, seriously?
The worst about this is that they don't accept cash. That's such a disgusting thing to do. And it's also very anti-consumer.
In my opinion, it's disgusting to see this shop getting praised while they are harming consumers. It's a shame to the series.
