LA Little Tokyo｜Izakaya Bizan — Beyond Expectations! 🏮

First off—big shoutout for being one of the only spots in Little Tokyo open past 10 PM and still welcoming guests. We came after an event, hungry and tired, and they delivered seriously satisfying food. Looking back, I’d definitely return for their yakitori—quality and price feel better than other nearby options, plus they have a wider selection of appetizers. 📍 Izakaya Bizan 333 S Alameda St, 3rd Floor 🅿️ Parking structure entrance is on Alameda St (look for the tall “Little Tokyo” & “Daiso” signs). It’s inside a small mall-like space with Daiso, Utsuwa-No-Yakata, and a grocery store on the first floor. We visited late, so Happy Hour was on—many dishes came in smaller, bite-sized portions (great for trying more, though some were literally one-bite only 😅). Everything we ordered was delicious: 🐙 Tako-wasabi (wasabi octopus) 🍘 Spicy Tuna with Crispy Rice 🍝 Mentaiko Pasta (tiny but tasty) 🍗 Karaage (fried chicken) 🦑 Fried Squid Legs 🍢 Chicken Skin & Beef Tongue skewers #LocalEats #LosAngeles #EatLA #LittleTokyoLA#DTLAEats #LAJapanese #IzakayaLA #Yakitori
