Izakaya Bizan in Little Tokyo, LA – Beyond Expectations! 🏮✨
First of all, I have to mention—this was the only spot in Little Tokyo still open and welcoming guests around 10 PM! 😮 After an event, we had limited choices, and Bizan totally saved the night. Hungry and tired, we were pleasantly surprised by the delicious and satisfying food! Looking back and comparing, I’d definitely return for their yakitori and other dishes. The quality and pricing are better than many other places in the area, plus they offer a wider variety of appetizers! 🙌 📍 Izakaya Bizan 333 S Alameda St, 3rd Floor 🅿️ Parking Tip: The garage entrance is on Alameda St—slightly different from the restaurant's pin. Look for the tall sign saying "Little Tokyo" and "Daiso". It’s like a small mall, with Daiso, Utsuwa-No-Yakata (a cute shop), and a pretty nice supermarket on the first floor! 🛒🍶 We arrived pretty late, so they were still running Happy Hour 🍻! Several dishes came in smaller, "one-bite" portions—great for trying more variety, but honestly, two people couldn’t even get a second bite of some items 😂. Here’s what we ordered—everything was delicious! 😋👇 Tako-wasabi 🐙 Spicy Tuna with Crispy Rice 🌶️🍚 Mentaiko Pasta (tiny portion but tasty!) 🍝 Karaage 🍗 Fried Squid Legs 🦑 Chicken Skin 🍢 Beef Tongue 👅 #LittleTokyoLA #LAEats #IzakayaBizan #DTLA #LateNightEats #JapaneseFood #LAFoodie #Yakitori
