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!“

“Found this place randomly searching for a local Japanese style restaurant and found this Gem. Tried their Chicken Curry plate as it seemed to be there go to with their BOGO promotion. The curry had a phenomenal and savory taste. I'd recommend Level 3 Spice level as it is a great blend of flavor and spice. If you're interested in having great Japanese Curry this is the spot. I also tried their potato croquette which was exquisite I ate it immediately and took a photo part way 🤣 into eating. I also have their Strawberry Matcha Latte which was a great blend and tasted perfect. Definitely coming back to try the Curry Omelet variety. This is a great spot to come with friends or if you just want to enjoy some great Japanese food solo.“

“Thier food is on point. Corn chesse will become a new thing in my house hold. Service is on point. 👍👍👍“

“The service at this place is EXCELLENT. They went out of their way to support us dealing with our toddler (extra cups, a fan to play with, etc.). The food was equally impressive - simple and delicious. Bonus was the very cool mural that combined famous anime characters. A lovely little spot we will be coming to regularly.“

“The Vegan Sushi is dam good. Worth going again and again. Our waiter was amazing and nice and patient with us. If you are Hindu vegetarian you will love the vegan sushi. My son is a picky eater and he ate the house down. My daughter ate Ramen and she enjoyed it“

“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.“

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.“

“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!“
