"You can't talk about the best izakayas in LA without mentioning Kinjiro, a quiet spot in Honda Plaza that feels like a private supper club. They offer two seatings nightly, which can only be booked by emailing the restaurant directly. The high-quality sushi, noodle dishes, and grilled meats are designed to pair with their extensive drinks list. So order some hot tea or sake for the table and start with the best things here: miso black cod, red snapper sashimi, thick-cut beef tongue, and silky agedashi tofu in mushroom broth. Although drinking is part of the fun, eating at Kinjiro still feels laid-back enough for a nice date night or a calm meal with friends. " - nikko duren, brant cox, kat hong
