    寿司食材不是很新鲜,我们还点了烧鸟,都烤糊了,wasabi就是那种超市里卖的最便宜的那种,很廉价的味道,但是价格不低,性价比很低。

    If you’re looking for the best Izakaya experience in West Hollywood, Izakaya Tora is the hidden gem you must try before you leave WeHo. This place perfectly blends traditional Japanese flavors with modern creativity — from the freshest sashimi to beautifully grilled skewers. Every dish feels intentional, balanced, and crafted with care. Omakase Sashimi – fresh, buttery, and served with applewood smoke (so good you’ll forget your problems). UNI Pasta – creamy, rich, and topped with Santa Barbara uni, tobiko & caviar. Umami bomb 💥 Skewers – tiger shrimp, pork belly, chicken skin, seabass… every bite perfection. The warm, welcoming vibe makes it even better — perfect for a cozy date night or a small group dinner. If you haven’t tried Izakaya Tora yet… you haven’t truly experienced West Hollywood dining.

    This place has been my Japanese go-to in WeHo area lately. Whether it be after a hike at Runyon or decent dinner during day drinking fest at WeHo or before a night out in WeHo. The quality is great and the portions are huge! Also they definitely don't skimp out of the sushi fish and they always try something special like aburi method for specific nigiri/sashimi cuts to their square sushi (think musubi but sushi rolls). Moreover if you are not feeling raw fish, I love their udon and nabe dishes. And you can make you own meal as well. You can order some apps like eggplant and gyoza or salad and karage for a light meal instead of ordering entrees. The service is always great and the place is always clean and efficient!

    The service made no sense — the lady told us to wait outside even though we were standing by an empty table that just needed to be cleaned.

    It was like a dream. I want to go back! From the grill we had chicken oyster, iberico pork and chicken heart. Delicious on every level! We also got the chasu pork bao, flyin’ Hawaiian carpaccio and drunken noodle. Every dish was expertly crafted and flavorful! I could go into more detail… but we’d be here all day. Try it for yourself! The imported plum whiskey highball was amazing. Highly recommend 👏🙌👏
