Best Izakayas in Playa del Rey

Great food for the price. What you would expect in Japan izakaya.

Can’t say enough about Hasu!! Really the finest yakitori and small plates period. Even better than Japan from my experience of 66 years, born and raised in Yokohama……..spent lots of Yen post pandemic in the all kinds of raunchy, smoky yardbird hole in the walls across Tokyo but for some reason when it comes to chicken on a stick………I come back here!! It ain’t cheap but quality and skill of the master dude in the back of the house is worth the trip to Torrance!!

Wonderful small sushi restaurant very good fresh sushi and creative rolls!

Celebrated a delicious birthday in the private tatami room. Salmon skin salad, unagi sashimi, and lovely miso black cod. Service was attentive and we were able to regulate the music. We'll definitely be back.

Excellent food and a fun ordering experience through the iPads. Great for larger groups, a fantastic find.
