Izakaya Restaurants in Los Angeles, CA

“My boyfriend and I got the omakase but to be honest it was not worth it, the food tasted great but you can get almost the exact same course by ordering the 10 piece nigiri from the menu for half of the price. The atmosphere is nice but not appropriate for a traditional omakase. Highly recommend, just save your money and skip out on the omakase.“

“This place had so many great reviews and I'm within walking distance - How could I not try it? Staff was attentive/interested in my experience of the food. Menu was definitely interesting. I was glad that one of my dishes was not too cloying by being OVER dressed, but it could have used a little more of its vinaigrette or something to tie it together a TAD more. Another dish was perfectly cheesy, a wagyu empanada of sorts. The food tasted clean, which is always better than cloying. Was it as outstanding or remarkable/memorable as everybody said in other reviews? I didn't have that experience but maybe because I wasn't having any cocktails. :-) A drink and a little buzz can always make a dining experience taste and feel even better. ? I know food prices have gone way up, and I'm a generous tipper, but it came up to almost 50 for two appetizers. I do think the appetizers were fairly portioned.“

“Hakata Izakaya popular among Asian peopleThe store staff also spoke Japanese, so I felt comfortable.The offal hot pot is for two people, but the portion is large and it feels like the best value for money.Other than that, they also have ramen.Personally, I really like the Whimsical Sake Ate.“

“The food was very good and the price was extremely cheap for a solo diner. The BOGO 50% on premium rolls lets you get 2 rolls for under $25! The service was also very polite and the inside was clean and decorated nicely. Definitely coming back next time I'm in LA.“
