Tsubaki LA

Tsubaki LA TSUBAKI is a contemporary California version of a classic izakaya, a style of informal tavern at the heart of Japanese dining tradition.

A classic Japanese izakaya in Echo Park, Los Angeles

Tsubaki stays true to its roots in classic Japanese technique and traditional ingredients while making use of fresh California produce. The food, paired with sake, w**e, and b**r, complemented by the warm, genuine hospitality that Japan is famous for, offers guests a peek into modern Japan through the lens of Los Angeles.

ASMR AT TSUBAKI…

good and bad 😉

Working service, we find a lot of beautiful sounds like the chopstick holders clinking together, or the sizzle of the grill, but there’s also the not so great sounds of the scale across the metal, or some of the chairs in the dining room 🤣

but all of it makes up the beauty that is Tsubaki !!! Come see us soon ⭐
