"Izakaya Honda-Ya, Little Tokyo. Izakayas are the antidote to the more common Japanese approach of specialty restaurants, and Honda-Ya offers everything from ramen and soba, to chazuke (green tea over rice) and zosui (porridge), via maki and yakitori, alongside a solid sake selection. Seating options include tables, kitchen-side bar, or traditional tatami floor. There’s always a wait, even at times you would not expect it."
