Izakaya Restaurants near Buena Park, CA

“Food here was pretty good. Portions were quite large and not the typical Izakaya size. We got the Korean fried chicken which was really tasty. The crispy rice was ok. The regular size yakitori skewers gave quite generous portions. The decor inside is very nice.“

“100/10 would recommend!’ Amazing food and selection as well!“

“The best hand rolls in the soco area. Mathew our waiter, definitely took care of me and my girl. Was very attentive, and also gave us recommendations. The eel, snow crab, rolls were delicious. The eel bowl I got was the right size for the portions. Hit the spot. My girl enjoyed the tonkatsu ramen ?. The only thing I can say would be parking. Other than that it's a definitely must go spot.

Parking: Parking on the street is free, good luck though finding parking.

Kid-friendliness: Eyup

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, has a ramp to walk into the restaurant.“

“Came here for lunch while we were searching for a sushi place and this had good reviews. The restaurant is in a little strip mall with plenty of parking. We were seated right away and we could see that it's quite small.

Each table had a button to call the server which we thought was good if we needed anything. Although it took a bit for them to come after pressing it.

We ordered the black ramen, rainbow roll, and sashimi bento. They also had a 50% off deal on 2nd item (ramen or roll). Food was pretty good. The family enjoyed it. A nice touch was the complimentary ice cream at the end.

It's a good restaurant and we would probably come back if around this way again.“

“The food was amazing! Meat was high quality, service was fast ,and all the servers were so kind! From the meats to side dishes and drinks it was delishhh!

Our first time here but won’t be our last time! We will be back more often! Thank you Andy and all the servers who made our experience so wonderful!“

“Great ramen and sushi restaurant in a small strip mall. Plenty of parking. The restaurant is not big, but has a large table in the middle for a larger group and some smaller tables for groups of 2 to 6, and some bar seating. We were warmly greeted and could sit anywhere. We ordered two ramen soups, a truffle mushroom variety and a spicy beef version. With both, we chose them as a combo with gyoza and spicy tuna, respectively. The soups came quickly and looked and tasted amazing. They played country music, which was a bit unexpected. But still 5 stars for food and service. Overall, a place we have bookmarked for our next trip.“

“Kihon is the BEST sushi restaurant in Long Beach hands down. Go enjoy the tastiest food and you can thank me later! 😀“

“An Evening at Kin Izakaya: Where Tradition Meets Ambiance In the culinary haven that our city embodies, Kin Izakaya emerges as a sanctuary of authentic Japanese flavors combined with the convivial spirit typical of Japan’s iconic gastropubs. It’s here that tradition and modernity collide to create not just a meal, but an experience worth savoring. The moment you step through the doors of Kin Izakaya, you’re greeted by an atmosphere that’s both lively and intimately comforting. The ambient lighting, coupled with rustic décor and understated oriental motifs, offers a welcoming reprieve from the city’s hustle and bustle. The soft murmur of patrons engaged in animated conversation sets the backdrop for an authentic izakaya experience. Kin Izakaya’s menu is a harmonious blend of traditional Japanese fare and innovative culinary creations. The tapas-style dishes, perfect for sharing, encourage a communal dining experience. From the delicate flavors of their sashimi to the robust, savory notes found in their yakitori selection, there’s a delightful complexity in each dish presented. The agedashi tofu, with its perfect crispy exterior giving way to silken tofu within, is a testament to the chef’s prowess in honoring traditional flavors while serving contemporary palates.“

“I was driving one day and saw Sakana Sushi & Izakaya and i just wanted to try this place. Finally i had the chance to visit this place and had a sit down to try their sushi. As i walked in i was greeted by young lady and was offered to sit where i pleased. I look through the menu and ordered Shrimp Tempura Roll, and Mexico City Roll. Both rolls were delicious and i really enjoyed every bite of it. Love how the rice shrimp and all the flavors just combined and was very tasteful. Also the miso soup was also good and their hot green tea naturally was just good. For sure will go back again i love their sushi and for sure will be coming back.“

“Xfish Brea was hands down the most delightful sushi experience I've ever had! The ambiance is stunning and inviting, and the service is unmatched—attentive, kind, and truly spectacular. Simon annd Nikki were awesome! The sushi? Absolutely melt-in-your-mouth perfection, with top-tier quality and an incredible variety to choose from. I loved the unique pass-around menu concept, where servers bring small bites directly to you—it added such a fun, interactive touch. The live bluefin tuna cutting was an unforgettable, mesmerizing experience! This place is a must-visit!“
