"The Order: Japanese 'Caesar' Salad A meal at this Echo Park izakaya usually revolves around grilled skewers, which you should order a few of. However, we prefer to fill most of the table with Tsubaki’s non-skewered dishes, including the excellent Japanese caesar. The lettuce has a nice density, so it stays crisp after getting tossed in a vibrant, creamy miso dressing. You also get a big ol’ crunch from panko breadcrumbs and a little smoky smooch from the shredded fish flakes. " - brant cox, sylvio martins, garrett snyder
