The 21 Best Japanese Restaurants In LA - Los Angeles - The Infatuation
"Hero had the unfortunate luck of opening a few months before March 2020, which meant this homey izakaya in Westwood flew under the radar for its first years in business. That's no longer the case though, so make sure to call ahead and reserve a table like the rest of the regulars packing the bar. From pork tonkotsu shabu shabu and daily sashimi platters to tender teba gyo (chicken wing gyozas), Hero excels at shareable plates designed to be eaten with a big glass of beer or sake. This is the kind of place you might roll into at 6pm with a few friends and accidentally stay for three hours, with plans to return next month." - garrett snyder, sylvio martins
