C A T /// inspired Japanese restaurant just opened in Carlsbad and it’s worth the drive @littlekikisd is a new Japanese restaurant in Carlsbad built around premium ingredients, dry-aged in-house proteins, and just enough cat details to make you look twice. The standout is the A5 Wagyu gyu-katsu, lightly fried in panko and finished tableside on a hot stone.
