Kirin Sushi & Ramen: Hollywood’s Cozy Japanese Gem 🍶🌸

📍 Hollywood (Street Meter Parking Nearby) Tucked away in the heart of Hollywood, Kirin Sushi and Ramen is that local spot you’ll want to keep coming back to—warm, welcoming, and packed with flavor without the Hollywood price tag. Perfect for a pre-bar bite, a casual date, or just a solid sushi fix! 🍱✨ Step inside and you’re greeted by cherry blossom accents, wooden booths, and soft lighting that sets a relaxed yet intimate vibe. Whether you sit at the sake-lined bar or in a cozy corner, it feels like a quiet escape from the busy streets outside. 📋 Must-Try Dishes: 🐙 Takoyaki (5pcs) Crispy outside, tender inside, with generous chunks of octopus and that iconic creamy, savory drizzle. 🍜 Bulgogi Beef Ramen A rich, savory pork bone broth loaded with bamboo shoots, wood ear mushrooms, bean sprouts, corn, soft-boiled egg, and sweet-salty bulgogi-style beef. Comfort in a bowl! 🍣 16pc Sashimi Combo + Spicy Tuna Roll Fresh, beautifully presented cuts—think buttery salmon, sweet shrimp, and clean-tasting white fish. The spicy tuna roll is well-balanced with just the right kick. 🍱 Chicken Teriyaki Bento Box Tender chicken glazed in sweet teriyaki sauce, served with crisp tempura, fresh salad, and rice. A complete, satisfying meal. 🥑 Avocado Salad Creamy, fresh, and light—the perfect palate cleanser between richer bites. 🍶 Sake & Drink Selection An impressive array of sake, many rare and curated, displayed along the back bar. Not drinking? Try one of their Japanese sodas or teas! 💬 Why we love it: In a neighborhood known for overpriced eats, Kirin delivers consistent quality, generous portions, and a relaxed atmosphere—all at very fair prices. It’s the kind of place that feels like a neighborhood secret, whether you’re a local or just passing through. Ideal for a low-key dinner before a night out, a solo sushi session, or a laid-back catch-up with friends. Add this one to your Hollywood shortlist! 🥢💖 #HollywoodEats #KirinSushi #SushiSpot #JapaneseFood #SakeBar #LAEats #DateNight #HiddenGem #RamenLover
