Azay

Japanese restaurant · Historic Core

"Azay in Little Tokyo serves one of the few Japanese breakfasts in the LA area. It'll arrive with nothing but a tray of broiled fish, tamago, tofu, miso soup, and a side of rice, plus a few pickles. The broiled fish comes with a flaky top and charred bottom, but completely moist in the middle. Bright yellow eggs taste slightly sweet and resemble the shape and size of an elementary school kid’s eraser. Plus, the portions are perfect—not too big, not too small, and you can walk away feeling full without needing to undo a button." - brant cox, nikko duren, sylvio martins
