Izakaya Restaurants near Burbank, CA

“The staff are amazing at this restaurant and I hope this compliment get passed all the way up the ladder. Everyone was polite, looked professional, and acted in a way that seemed genuinely friendly and personable.

Not only that but the place is spotless. They keep this place very clean.

The sushi itself is some of the best I've had and I’ve had a lot of sushi. I'll definitely be returning with friends this is a top notch dining experience in every sense and they deserve every 5-star review they’ve got and many more to come.“

“The food was amazing. The sweet potato was something I never had in my whole life. I have been to 39 countries for work and have eaten so many foods and I have never tasted anything close to it. The aburi salmon was delicious as well. However the star of the show: Our server Nic. He was one of the best most down to earth servers I have ever had in my life. He was patient, recommended the best things on the menu including the sweet potato. And my glass of water was never empty. You would think going to a trendy restaurant that maybe there would be a stuck-up atmosphere. But no all the servers and waiters were extremely friendly. Although the sweet potato is not something I had before in my life, I think Nic was one of the best servers. I got. Although pricey it was worth any penny. We'll be back in a week.“

“Bomb sushi!!!! Everything was wonderful, can’t say anything bad. Good rolls and gotta try the crispy rice for an appetizer😀“

“I took my father here because he was craving Japanese food and this was a quality spot.

Started with green tea and edemame which were great. The pork sausage was delicious but a lot of pieces. I had their miso cod which was excellent along with their tempura. I ordered one of their sashimi plates and it was delicious with phenomenal fish quality.

The chicken karrage was also very delicious. My father and I had an excellent lunch and dining experience.

I’d definitely come back again to try their other menu items.“

“心の居酒屋です🏮 モツなべなど　博多メニュー充実“

“spacy garlic edamame is vary delicious.!!“

“I’ve tried lots of ramen before and by far this is one of the best broths I’ve tasted. It was so creamy and full of flavor. I got the red miso ramen and it was great. The other ramens were also full of flavor and doesn’t have a water downed flavor. The staff was so freindly and nice. It gives a very personal and homey feel. Everything was nice and clean including the bathroom! They also give these free puff deserts that are filled with strawberry creme and it was a phenomenal ending. One of the staff even gave us free pocky’s as a small new year festivities.
This is definitely a lowkey, hidden spot that’s worth a try. Would recommend the ramen any day. I will be going back!“

“Izakaya Mi Young (美荣) in Ktown is a hidden gem tucked away in a basement — perfect for a late-night drink. It’s relatively under-the-radar; you’ll need to walk down a stairwell to find it, giving it that “hidden in plain sight” charm. But the food and drinks? Truly impressive.

The decor has an atmospheric Tokyo vibe — exactly how I imagine an izakaya next to a subway exit in Japan. Each table has a ukiyo-e curtain for privacy, but sitting at the bar also has its own cozy appeal.

The menu covers everything from yakitori and sushi to traditional Japanese street snacks and sashimi. I especially loved their highballs — the yuzu and Earl Grey flavors stood out. We ordered several pieces of the chef’s special sushi, all incredibly fresh. The uni-scallop sushi was heavenly. The yakitori, cheesy eel, okonomiyaki, and agedashi tofu were all perfect drinking snacks, but our top favorite of the night was the butter-grilled abalone — so good we wanted an encore!

After just one visit, I already can’t wait to go back. It’s officially my new Ktown treasure. Bonus: they have parking validation, the prices are reasonable, and it’s just the perfect place for a slightly tipsy, blissful night.“

“This was my first time visiting this place, and I have to say, the only ones truly making it stand out are the servers. Those girls are amazing! Even though the space is small and seating is limited, they know how to make every guest feel welcome. Honestly, I’m only coming back for their incredible service. Please consider giving these girls a well-deserved raise!“

“Delicious Udon and other Japanese specialties“

“I love this place! The food is fantastic! And I’m a regular for a reason 😉“

“Ramen were super good and excellent customer service.“

“Loved the yakitori. The standouts were the pork belly, bacon wrapped shishitos, chicken breast, and the seaweed salad. The pacing of the dishes was inconsistent and it felt like servers were spread too thin. Everyone was running small plates, and no one focused on offering more drinks. Overall a good meal.“

“A hidden gem in Montrose. Very good food, attentive service, reasonable price.“

“The flavors of all the food was amazing.... everything on the menu was intriguing , I wish I tried it all!“

“Delicious food, fun atmosphere and very affordable! Always a great time!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Best Sushi in LA by far !“

“Unexpected find in a quiet little plaza in West Hollywood—easily the best unagi don I’ve had in SoCal. Two styles, both incredible, but the hitsumabushi stole the show. Could’ve eaten three more bowls without hesitation. 😋“

“The food is all excellent, the service exactly what it should be (neither intrusive or absent), and a wide variety of price points that should satisfy any budget. Highly recommended - We’ll definitely be back! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“As my first time coming to this place it’s very awesome to say the least, the experience was absolutely great, the quality of the sushi exceded my expectations and the staff was extremely friendly especially our server Vee! She was the best! I would definitely come again!! Restrooms are also clean that’s always a plus!“

“Best sushi in the city! You feel like you’re in Tokyo.“

“The best everything…so, Go!“

“While the ramen is quite good, try their other non-ramen offerings. Katsu curry rice is very good here (katsu pork was prepared perfectly and curry flavorful) as well as their gyudon (beef over rice). Service as fast, friendly and attentive and the dining area was very clean. Value for the meal is excellent especially for West LA! Cannot recommend enough!“

“Shoutout to our server Danny for being so friendly, and accommodating. We asked for a few extra things that were weird asks because I’m pregnant and he didn’t say no, but figured out a way to make it happen.

The food is also very fast and delicious and the presentation was on point. This is our favorite sushi spot in our neighborhood by far.“
