I’m so happy we finally have a chill neighborhood izakaya in Echo Park! The service here is really wonderful, and it’s perfect to stop in for dinner and a beer on a weeknight. They have all the classics (karaage, takoyaki, yakitori, okonomiyaki), made very quickly...Read More

This restaurant blew me away. I visited Osaka last year and all the food we had here, down to the rice and miso soup, tasted as if it came straight from Japan. We had the okonomiyaki, chicken fried rice, and a couple of their "sushi...Read More

I was very impressed. The atmosphere is bright, the service was very welcoming and kind. I enjoyed the cucumber salad and the tempura. The prices are not bad at all, either. Will definitely be coming back!

Had high expectations knowing that it came from Osaka but it was underwhelming unfortunately. Having lived in Japan and having Japanese family we know what a great Izakaya is like but this missed the mark. Poor presentation, not actually …

A bit overpriced, out of everything we got, the grilled mackerel was the tastiest and the only thing we’d order again — the $3.99 beer and sake is ONLY FOR THE FIRST ROUND. …

Cold food, some items seemingly undercooked, and ended up giving my girlfriend and I stomach issues for a couple days. It’s not all bad, good server and the unagi were pretty good. Disappointing that it took the better part of two years for them to...Read More
