This was one of our favorite meals during our trip to LA. The uni risotto, thick cut beef tongue, truffle udon, and wasabi potato salad were the absolute stand-outs. Service was great, we loved their sake selection, and the pacing was on point. Definitely try them out.

Phenomenal experience from start to finish! Each dish was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. (As a group we shared 14 menu items). The service was impeccable. I highly recommend this place and can't wait to return.

There is a master chef and a master mind behind the scenes in this small, unpretentious, well appointed Izakaya. If the layout seems a little odd the food and presentation more than makes up for it.
The offerings are all unusual and tempting and if I were a full time resident in L.A. this would be my go to place for any worthy excuse.
I loved every bite that I ordered and my only regret was finding the urchin risotto in the menu when I was already too full and satisfied. It will have to wait for the next time I am in L.A.
But if you are a full time resident you have no excuse not to eat in this mini paradise.

Delicious, but no surprises. The service was not good and the food was not very fresh, leaving us with a disappointing feeling. After all, I think again that I should eat Japanese food in Japan.

Unfriendly staff. Why go to a restaurant that is unwelcoming.
