Los Angeles | Cozy Japanese Eatery Budonoki 🍶

A wonderfully diverse little restaurant that brings together flavors from Japan, China, Korea, and Thailand! 🍜🌏 Just a 15-minute drive from the Observatory. The vibe inside is warm and inviting—perfect for a casual hangout. We tried a bunch of dishes with three friends, and every single one was a hit! 🎯 This place really bridges Eastern and Western tastes beautifully. *Note: The DIY sea urchin hand roll with fish roe and the yellowtail tuna are on a separate special menu! 🍣📜 All the ingredients were super fresh—the only downside was that some dishes were a tad too salty for my taste. I wasn’t totally into the mozza with parmesan (felt a bit heavy), but my friends loved it! 🧀😅 Address: 654 Virgil Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90004 #LAEats #LAJapaneseFood #HiddenGem #IzakayaStyle #CozySpot #LosAngelesDining #AsianFusion #FoodieFind #LATogo #EatLocalLA
