Tsubaki is a popular Japanese restaurant known for its variety of dishes, including yakitori. Tucked away in a quieter corner of Echo Park, the restaurant delivers a warm, elevated, and refreshingly unpretentious dining experience. It often attracts locals and offers cost-effective options, though it can be considered pricey. An 18% service fee is included in the bill, which may not be immediately noticed. Valet or street parking is available, and making reservations is recommended due to the restaurant's small size and tendency to fill up quickly.
Customers consistently praise the amazing meals and the friendly service, noting the cheerful and peaceful atmosphere. Standout dishes include kanpachi crudo, scallop skewers, clams, Caesar salad, black cod, chicken wings, short rib, crab fried rice, and Japanese latkes. The Caesar salad is especially noted for its fresh and inventive twist on a classic. The hojicha parfait and hojicha soft cream also receive high marks as delightful desserts. The food is consistently delicious, with delicate seasoning, making it a memorable dining experience. Overall, Tsubaki is highly recommended for those looking to enjoy a unique take on Japanese cuisine.
