A gem. Very traditional and reasonably priced, it feels like you’re in the countryside of Japan. Besides nigiri, they have a great kitchen menu.

Unassuming little restaurant owner by an older couple. Food is prepared with so much care and is always fresh. Highly recommend the place for anyone looking for Izakaya style Japanese food

Fukuno Restaurant is a hidden gem! No need to go to Japan, this is an even better experience. We were served by a kind older Japanese duo. The sushi was incredibly fresh. Other side dishes like pumpkin, eggplant, and bamboo shoots were delicious. Everything was fantastic and I would come here again in a heartbeat.

Mom and pop place. Food is top tier. Seating is limited so better make reservation ahead

It’s a charming, family-run spot reminiscent of traditional eateries in Japan. The food was exceptional, and the warm, attentive service made the experience even more memorable.

I ordered one chicken dish , something new . The chicken tested like rubber , I asked polite to give me something else . Manager she called herself said that part of chicken supposed to be like that . We can change one time only but not second time , I never said anything about money , the temperament unbelievable . Not accepting anything about the quality of the food , the list I can do is leaving this review and no I did not asked for my money back .

One of the delicious Japanese restaurants that has been around for a long time. This is a restaurant run by the owner and his wife.
The general doesn't talk much, so he looks scary at first glance, but when you talk to him, he's really nice. The wife serves it cutely on the floor.

Of course we guarantee the taste.
There are also authentic Japanese items on the menu, so you can go back to Japan after eating them.

Please use it once.

Parking: There is a Japanese cake shop, a Korean izakaya, and a barber shop in a small mall.
Depending on the time of day, you may not be able to park in front of the store.
but it's okay. There's more space.
Don't worry.

A small family run izakaya tucked into the far end corner of a strip of restaurants. Easy to overlook if one drives by too quickly. Run by an older couple, it has a very cosy atmosphere with authentic izakaya style tapas. The seabream and kohada was very fresh the day we went, the tuna was prepped well. The sashimi was properly cut and everything was exquisitely prepared by the owner chef.

Been here a few times and have always left satisfied with my meal. Inside is cozy, seating wise there is a sushi bar area that can fit maybe 8-10 people. There are tables as well, overall I think capacity is less than 50. I have been fortunate enough to dine in without having to make a reservation which is highly recommended. I just made sure to show up right within the first 20 minutes of them opening. This place will fill up pretty quickly seeing that they are only open for dinner service. The couple that run this restaurant do a great job, the older lady is very attentive and quickly clears your empty dishes so that they don't stack or crowd your table. The sushi chef is a master of his craft. The maki rolls and nigiri are old school style so please don't show up expecting to find california rolls or rainbow rolls. The fresh oysters and chicken yakitori skewers with yuzu kosho are downright delicious.

Vegetarian options: There are small dishes like sesame blanched spinach, crunchy yuzu daikon, inari sushi, tamago nigiri and slowly simmered eggplant to name a few.

Parking: Shared parking in a lot with other businesses.

We ordered Fukuno Special Nigiri, Fukuno Nigiri, Grilled Oysters, Boiled Sea Bream, and Negitoro! There were so many delicious-looking menu items that I had a hard time deciding which one to order! ! Everything was carefully made and delicious! ! I didn't really like the salmon roe?

Finally found an authentic chirashi bowl in LA!

Dinner and service were amazing. Order the fried half chicken and wings. Their pork belly dish is delicious. Our service was on point. Perfect dinner spot to catch up with friends.
