Irvine Foodie Visit｜Honda-Ya Izakaya — Everyday Cozy Vibes 🏮

Honda-Ya is quite a well-known yakitori spot — they don’t take reservations, only walk-in waitlist. We arrived around 8 PM on a weekday and were 9th on the list, but waited only about 20+ minutes.😁😁 Honestly, none of the dishes were mind-blowing — everything was pretty standard, and the yakitori quality varied a bit.👌👍 But it didn’t leave me disappointed — instead, it gave off that unpretentious, local vibe like stumbling into a random izakaya late at night in Japan to chat and drink with friends.😊😘 My recommendation: just order whatever you feel like, and don’t set your taste expectations too high. #LAEats #LosAngeles #Irvine #IrvineEats #IrvineJapaneseFood 🏮🍢
