Izakaya Tora｜A Cozy Street-Side Izakaya in West Hollywood 🏮

Tucked along a lively street in West Hollywood, this spot is perfect for a meal after a weekend city walk. The space is small and warm (though the outdoor patio can be noisy). Book early to snag an indoor seat—if you sit at the bar, you can watch the chefs in action. 🍢 Yakitori 👍 Black Tiger Shrimp — plump, bouncy, well-charred. 👎 Chicken Thigh — not great, skip it. 🍚 Uni Bowl solid choice if you’re into uni. 🍝 Mentaiko Udon Pasta ❤️ A special item—udon noodles with mentaiko sauce, chewy and flavorful (though a bit salty). MVP of the meal! 🐟 Sashimi Decent but nothing special—order your favorites. ⚠️ Their wasabi might be the worst I’ve ever had. 📍 8908 Santa Monica Blvd, West Hollywood, CA 90069 🅿️ There’s a nearby lot ($20 cash) but street parking is better if you can find it. 📝 Reservations recommended on weekends. 💰 ~$70+ per person #LAIzakaya #LAJapanese #LAEats #LALife#GoodEatsLA #CozyBar #IzakayaFood #YakitoriLovers
