....Built
in 1957 by Japanese American businessmen, the bowling alley and
adjoining cafe at 3730 Crenshaw Blvd. quickly became a fixture in a

was common ground for both cultures: One of the most popular dishes on
the menu was eggs and rice with the choice of char siu pork or hot
links.

example of "Googie" architecture....
