This Little Tokyo classic serves izakaya favorites such as takoyaki, yakitori, sushi rolls, grilled squid, and miso black cod at a third floor nook inside a mall. Serves until 1 a.m. Read more

Festive, funky and fun. Yakitori chicken leg w/green onion, livers w/sweet salty glaze, asparagus w/bacon, and assorted pickles washed down with frosty mugs of crisp Japanese lager 🍻Kanpai!

Honda-Ya is a good place for a newcomer to izakaya to start. Try a familiar dish, like raw oysters over ice, to go with a more exotic pairing, like the chicken gizzards and greens. Read more

The menu is extensive and a bit overwhelming. My favorite was the jalapeño albacore sashimi and yakitori white meat with plum and bacon. The poki salad had some quality sashimi as well.

The Skewers here is where this place shines best. Try the Sausage wrapped in pork belly or the meat ball!

Best sushi! So fresh! A bit of a wait on a Saturday Night, but definitely worth it!

Give the Yaki Udon a try. It's stir fried udon with beef and a mayo based sauce it's delicious.

Ton of variety, very chill, and open late. Enoki and Pork Belly Yakitori is delicious and they have Yaki Onigiri.

The Jumbo Shrimp Yakitori is very good. Just so you know every order is one skewer. Also the peach Chu-Hi with a double shot is awesome!

The whole grilled squid is absolutely delicious. Especially at the price of $6!

Love their sashimi plate, 5 or 7 kinds of fresh cut fish. Also the Galbi, marinated beef ribs. Yummmm!!

Every single time I come here, order 2 pieces of Salmon Sushi—and I say EVERYTIME—this is the best salmon I've ever had

Avocado tempura? That's what I said. Served with curry salt, another wow. Currently a special, try it it's definitely different.

too much ongoing here, don't come unless you have really an empty stomach! Gyoza and mochi were nice for starters. Couldn't decide on main so i went for both ramen chashu and zaru soba...yum yum

The specials change all the time. Check out the stuff posted on the walls and on the back of the menu.

Even though there are tons of ramen places in LA, I think this place has the best. If u don't care for ramen, their large menu has tons of other good Japanese food.
