Izakaya Restaurants near North Hollywood, CA

“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.“

“Excellent! Totally lives up to the hype. Every dish we had was delicious but the salmon sushi, sweet potatoes and salmon collar were the standouts for me. Only thing I think they could work on is the space— tables set between breaks in the booth, air conditioning that turns the food cold quickly, blindingly bright neon lights. It could just be a bit more comfortable. Still, highly recommend!“

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

“心の居酒屋です🏮 モツなべなど　博多メニュー充実“

“This is my second time here and I can confidently say this is the best izakaya I’ve ever been to. A solid five stars without a doubt! The service is excellent, and the chef is so friendly and engaging. But the real highlight is the food. I’ve tried so many dishes, and unbelievably, every single one was delicious! I honestly can’t recommend this place enough. Thank you for making such incredible food!“

“Nice Izakaya right around the corner of Little Tokyo. Staff is friendly and vibes are chill. Drinks and food are delicious. My friend tried some of their sake and really enjoyed the taste as well as the presentation. We started with the Signature Tofu Sampler which is all three of their original housemade tofu, served side by side in a beautiful three bowl tray. The first was their classic tofu in a traditional style that is served with a house miso paste and you could toss on some roasted green tea salt to your own tastes. I think this might have been my favorite because it was so effortlessly simple and tasty. Their creamy tofu is extra soft tofu made from fresh cream and soymilk, with a dashi cream broth. They asked us to eat this one as is and not to add any additional salt or sauces. Lastly, was the black sesame tofu which is a creative take on the original tofu infused with black sesame. They suggested adding in some wasabi and soy sauce that really enhanced the flavoring. If you are a fan of tofu, I highly recommend trying this sampler. The Omelette Noodles with Simmered Wagyu Beef is just ok. Loved the omelette and wagyu beef. The noodles were fine but I think the dish was overpowered by the seasoning. Not my favorite but that is probably just based on my personal taste preferences. The Grilled Salmon Chazuke was fantastic. It is a rice porridge dish mixed with dashi and topped with a beautiful piece of grilled salmon. We also tried a couple pieces of nigiri and I loved the Chu-Toro ones. Definitley not a bad choice if you are looking for casual but yummy dining in this area.

Now for my standard comments. The location is clean and well kept. Comfortable indoor seating. There is also a decently sized outdoor seating area as well.“

“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!“

“Best Sushi in LA by far !“

“spacy garlic edamame is vary delicious.!!“

“Delicious Udon and other Japanese specialties“

“Shane was grade A. Great service.
Spicy tuna was grade A.
Dipping noodles... I don't get it but the broth was tasty. The hot cold thing, too much work for me but still yummy. Cool theme. Cool vibes. Will be back to try the gyoza. My brother swears by it. Should have eaten his. Next time. Thanks!“

“I love this place! The food is fantastic! And I’m a regular for a reason 😉“

“The flavors of all the food was amazing.... everything on the menu was intriguing , I wish I tried it all!“

“Came to L.A for a quick trip, and stopped here for lunch, best decision ever!!!

The menu was huge. I tried the carpaccio and ceviche, and would have gotten 5 more plates of both if I could! The workers were very kind & helpful . The atmosphere was also peaceful. Would recommend 👍“

“Ramen were super good and excellent customer service.“

“Food and service were fine; we would consider return visits. However, indoor dining was much to noisy, we could barely hear each other talk over the din...painfully noisy because I had to adjust my hearing aids to the max volume using the restaurant noise reduction setting just to hear bits and pieces of intelligible conversation. Otherwise, I would only be able to hear noise. It took a few hours after leaving for my hearing to recover. We would only return during warmer weather so we could sit outside, where there's not the sound bouncing off of all the hard surfaces.“

“Traditional Japanese izekaya. Daily specials. A definite must try.“

“Delicious food, fun atmosphere and very affordable! Always a great time!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The best everything…so, Go!“

“The food is all excellent, the service exactly what it should be (neither intrusive or absent), and a wide variety of price points that should satisfy any budget. Highly recommended - We’ll definitely be back! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Unexpected find in a quiet little plaza in West Hollywood—easily the best unagi don I’ve had in SoCal. Two styles, both incredible, but the hitsumabushi stole the show. Could’ve eaten three more bowls without hesitation. 😋“

“Best sushi in the city! You feel like you’re in Tokyo.“

“While the ramen is quite good, try their other non-ramen offerings. Katsu curry rice is very good here (katsu pork was prepared perfectly and curry flavorful) as well as their gyudon (beef over rice). Service as fast, friendly and attentive and the dining area was very clean. Value for the meal is excellent especially for West LA! Cannot recommend enough!“

“Going here is a trade-off: you get good food quality and quantity, but the service and vibe are bad. You’ll eat well, but the hostess might be rude and you’ll likely have to wait. $30 for all-you-can-eat sushi is a fair price for those concessions.

The tablet ordering is good because you don’t have to deal with the staff. Once you actually sit down and start ordering, the service is quick. The sushi was high quality and Menu A has enough variety. They constantly nag you about the 90-minute limit, the wait times between rounds, and the extra charges for unfinished food. It’s annoying, but it won't stop me from stuffing my face.“

“Intimate atmosphere with the best fish, vegetables and pickled vegetables. Like being in Japan.“

“I took a friend to the AYCE dinner. It was a busy Friday night. I had to park after dropping off my companion so I don't know how bad the wait was for our table but there were lots of people waiting. Once I sat down to the menu, I noticed that prices rose in the last year. The staff were attentive and helpful.

We ordered a large amount of sushi, mostly rolls with some sashimi. Food started arriving quickly and continued for a while. The variety of sauces on the different rolls surprised my taste buds. Dinner was great! We finished off with a matcha macaron.“

“The ramen was absolutely fantastic! The broth was creamy and not overly salty (many are) and our gyoza and sushi rolls were equally excellent. We are from out of town and wanted to walk to something for dinner from where we were staying and this place didn't disappoint.“
