Little Tokyo is finally being filled with some new options, because for a vegetarian Japanese food just doesn’t work.  The second location(original location is in Eagle Rock) of Spitz is on 2nd street next to the American Apparel store and a host of new eateries that are coming to the neighborhood.  They claim to be the “home of the doner kebab,” I am not sure what that means, but I had a falafel plate, served with fried pita chips and hummus, and a botlled water for $9.  The food was fresh, plentiful, and priced right if you are looking for a lunch on the bigger side.  You can also get the wraps or sandwiches a la carte for around $6 which is still pretty filling.  The service was also very quick, helpful and chatty which is nice once in a while.  There is a guy that wears a bandana that is very friendly and helpful when trying to figure out what to eat.  They also sell beer and wine, and seem to have a good selection, plus they are open to midnight which is rare in downtown.  This is definitely a good place for the east side of downtown to fulfill your falafel cravings and some good competition for Falafel Express.

Fried Pita Chips are really good, and definitely never tasted ones like these!
