Izakaya Restaurants near Glendale, CA

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

“Budonoki is a true hidden gem. Every dish is beautifully presented, incredibly flavorful, and genuinely satisfying. The owner is warm and welcoming, and the service is thoughtful—our server even surprised us with complimentary items from the chef, all of which were outstanding.

My husband and I keep coming back and have brought clients, friends, and family, and everyone has had a great experience. The atmosphere is cozy and intimate with dim lighting, limited seating, and a relaxed vibe set to tasteful hip hop in the background.

Overall, it’s a standout spot we’re always happy to return to.“

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

“Really enjoyed our experience at Haru Sushi & Izakaya. The sushi was fresh, flavorful, and everything came out nicely prepared. Service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was relaxed. Only small thing—the miso soup could use a little attention, as it didn’t have quite the flavor we expected. Overall, a great experience👍🏽“

“I took two teenagers for lunch on our weekend trip to J town. We ordered lunch special items. My son ordered a salmon and ikura bowl and his friend I ordered a sushi set. The lunch items come with salad, miso soup, and side dishes, including a small serving of home made tofu.
It was enough to fill up hungry teenagers, and we enjoyed our food.“

“Ramen done right!

This beautiful cozy ramen spot is just perfect in every way. Their appetizers are great, service and ambience simply the best and the ramen? S tier.

Creamy rich flavorful broth, tender pork cha shu. And noodles are just the right thickness.
Best ramen spot in LA.

Definitely coming back for more. The staff are so kind the service is speedy.“

“Izakaya Miyoung is an absolute hidden gem! We ordered the yakitori skewers, fish cake soup, and chicken wings, and let me tell you, every single bite was delicious. The portions were perfect for sharing, making it a great spot to come with friends.

Our waiter was fantastic, attentive, friendly, and spot-on with his sake recommendation, which paired beautifully with our food. The vibe here is warm and inviting, and I loved the interior design, it really adds to the whole experience.

This place is definitely going on my list of go-to spots. Can’t wait to come back, have some drinks, and try even more dishes from the menu!“
