- RRuthLos Angeles •5 reviews5.0Dined on Jun 5, 2025All I can say is wow! Food was amazing- those fall off the bone pork ribs and delicious squid ink kaarage should not be missed. Even their house sake was lovely. And their service was fast and warm and friendly. The Yakitori selection was satisfactory, we’ve had better, but we certainly would come back for the rest of the menu. 👍👍👍More infoHATCHPrice: Expensive• Japanese• Downtown•4.6
