Authentic Japanese restaurant · Greater Echo Park Elysian

"No matter where you sit at this dimly lit Japanese Izakaya in Echo Park you’ll have a very good meal. If you sit at the tiny bar in the back, however, you’ll have an excellent meal. That’s not because the food is any better than it is in the dining room, but because of the people standing behind the bar. If there’s a sake they think you should try, they’ll just pour it. If there’s an interesting ingredient in the prawn skewers you just ordered, they’re going to tell you about the chef’s recent trip to Japan that inspired it. With only four or so chairs, the bar is certainly intimate, and it’s our favorite way to do this place. " - brant cox
