I had Japanese breakfast w/ miso black cod, it was tasty.
Great food!!! Outdoor dining!
Cool vibe! On evenings when there is music is especially an experience and all with City Hall lit up!

I love this place! You feel transported to Japan as soon as you step inside. I want this breakfast every day. Vegan and pescatarian delight. It’s a pretty, unassuming place that’s focused on quality over quantity. We really enjoyed our waitress Andrea who makes the delicious miso brown butter chocolate chip cookies.

Azay offers a delightful dining experience with its flavorful and well-prepared Japanese and vegan dishes, including the traditional Japanese Breakfast and a home-cooked bento menu. The restaurant is family-run, serving healthy and delicious Japanese and French food made with high-quality ingredients. Many guests appreciate the authenticity of Azay, especially those familiar with Japanese cuisine, as it avoids using chilli, mayo, and overly sweet sauces common in other LA restaurants. The food is prepared with love, making it a lovely spot for lunch and brunch. The attentive service allows guests to enjoy their meals comfortably, and the space is intimate with limited seating, so reservations are recommended for dinner. Parking is available nearby at a yellow parking garage. Chef Akira Hirose, who passed away about a month ago, founded the restaurant, now run by his wife and son, maintaining its focus on quality and authenticity.
