Amazing and authentic in so many ways.

Vegetarian options: I didn’t pay attention but I would guess there are plenty of options.

Parking: We parked underground and were there early enough. Had no issues with parking.

We just learned about Sola a couple of months ago and we've gone five times already.The food is outstanding, the restaurant is nice, with a cool mellow vibe, and the owner is friendly and fun to talk to.I've tried almost everything on the menu by now, from the sizzling mushrooms to the grilled onigiri, to the special salad covered in fried onions. It has all been great.Try the grilled mackerel and mixed dumplings, too. Seriously, everything there is delicious.Fairly quiet, so it's a perfect place for a date or meet-up with friends. And there's free parking downstairs!

A decent izakaya with underground parking. While the food is decent, I thought it was a bit overpriced.

This is a Japanese restaurant without any raw fish, but comfort foods. Each dish taste is unique.

I love this place. It reminds me of Japan. The owner Miki is a wonderful human being. She is funny, smart, attentive, and caring. The staff is great. The food is top notch. You really will feel like you're in Japan. Sola is one of the best izakaya's in Los Angeles

Cozy, laughter filled Izakaya. Hot sake and friend chicken on a cold night. Weary from a long week. Car chase on the TV. Last call with a smile.
