I flew HND-LAX last month and my gate was right next to the lounge. That's never happened at NRT.
One downside I can think of is the time-slot restriction meaning that most likely the new flight's schedule is arriving late at night (9:00 PM, etc.) and the flight back to SFO departing at around 6:00 AM.
