"The chef who previously ranHamasakunow has a full izakaya in Long Beach. Homareya serves grilled skewers like pork belly and chicken meatballs, plus more fusion-y dishes like the Japa-dilla with Sonoratown tortillas, soy-simmered beef, and kimchi. There are also nigiri sets and drink-friendly appetizers like oysters with ponzu and corn ribs." - Cathy Park
