This non-descript restaurant is one of the better Izakaya places i have been to. A great selection of japanese style “tapas” can be found here. Small plates of braised pork belly, japanese chicken wings, tofu, and other classic izakaya dishes was thoroughly enjoyed by my group of friends. i wish this was closer to me, so i could kick back once a week and have a cold pitcher of beer with mouth watering food to match. The place is run by a 30-something japanese couple, new transplants in to the LA area. The wife handles the service and the husband (the chef) is the master behind the counter.
Check the pics. (not great since i only had my chitty camera)
more food and pics were had, these were the pics that were barely salvageable.
plus i started getting drunk and my hands were really shaky.
