If you want a better ground experience, go redeem HKG-LAX for the cabana and the day suite. But then you will suffer onboard with their catering and service.
Every way of it, the food, the champagne selection (the current JAL lounge Nicolas Feuillatte Blanc de Blanc vintage can ruin even a mimosa), the cocktail and bar selection. And the overall atmosphere of the lounge. And let's not forget the coffee.
Both can get very crowded depending on time of day.
