“We had high hopes after reading the reviews but they had limited options avail for lunch. The set menus were just ok. The broth in nabeyaki udon was not good it tasted store bought very bland. My black cod was very soft but I think it should’ve been broiled more outside. It left us all wanting more than what we got.“

“It was amazing, we went there on Friday late at night and it was happy hour!!!! We had some amazing Albacore rolls for about $3.00!! What??? The shrimp tempura was crispy and delicately sweet, we tried a few things, the seaweed salad was great, all the food was great but the highlight was an A5 Wagyu skewer, on arrival it looked a bit small but the two pieces of grilled melting meat are more than enough to feel the amazing taste of the marbled wagyu, I didn’t really need more. The service is outstanding, all the staff is super polite and the prices are incredible at that time of night. I’m looking forward for next weekend to go try a few things we saw the waiter bringing to the tables, we sat at the bar and kept asking -what was THAT!! And they were so nice and polite to stop and explain the dishes. Lovely lovely.“

“I came in for lunch to grab a quick snack and get some editing done on my phone. I just ordered a sake cocktail that they made delicious! And i also ordered the chicken meatball skewer, which came paired with egg to dip and I loved that sweet with salty combination so much! I would say I couldnt really get any work done on my phone as I don’t believe its a work friendly place although the tables are great to do so. They dont have outlets anywhere near the tables so if you need to charge your laptop or phone here is impossible to do unless behind the bar.
I just ready a book for a bit and enjoyed my cocktail and snack. I do think the atmosphere is more of a come in with friends and share a meal and gossip a bit. Or for dinner I think its also a great spot. I loved what i tried although it wasnt much. I would come again with a friend to have some cocktails and some snacks as the food and drinks were really delicious!“

“We had just comeback from a trip to Kyoto/Tokyo and craving for sushi. Randomly picked this as it was close to the hotel stay. Sashimi and Nigiri were on-par with what you get in Japan and from the food we could tell the chef was really good. The person serving (from Osaka, forgot his name) was very nice and we had a very good dinner. If anything, for the pricing, my feedback would be to make the service (sake cups, chopsticks, ... the whole experience) more Japanese/authentic - it was clean, etc., don't let that take away from the food, which was excellent! We would go back here.“

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!“

The IZAKA-YA by KATSU-YA West Hollywood Izakaya • $$
8420 West 3rd Street, Los Angeles

“i absolutely love this restaurant! it's my new go-to sushi place. their fish is incredibly fresh & delicious. i find their prices very fair especially compared to other high scale sushi restaurants like matsuhisa & nobu. my favorite dishes are the hamachi yellowtail, spicy hamachi roll, spicy salmon roll, and salmon nigiri with caviar.
my only complaint would be that it was difficult to hear & understand the chef & servers when we were there because it was so loud/busy, but i'm not going to dock a star for that.“

Crispy Rice

“Very trendy atmosphere plus super attentive and awesome staff with some pretty good food to go along with the drinks.

The pork katsu sando and pork buns are both delicious small bites but the real standout is the caramelized corn. Seriously, it's sweet, crispy, and addictive. If I had to select one thing off the menu it would be my pick for sure. The wagyu and pork curries are solid but unremarkable. I don't mean this is in a bad way, they're a little plain but nice, heavy, and pair well with a beer for lunch.

There's a selection of beers and sake but also some very interesting drinks for the curious. The earl grey milk highball is definitely unique. Overall definitely worth stopping by.“
