Honda Ya
Where we've featured it
Aside from paying for something you didn’t eat, the worst part of any group dinner is never being able to decide what everyone wants. Hack: Got to Izakaya Honda-Ya. The informal Japanese tavern in Little Tokyo not only has affordable prices, but a menu large enough to make even the pickiest eaters in the group happy. Those endless bottles of Kirin hitting the table aren’t a bad thing either.

If the crew’s rolling deep and no one can decide what they feel like, Honda-Ya Izakaya is the answer to all your problems. This Japanese pub (on the second floor of a shopping mall) has menu with everything from yellowtail sashimi to miso ramen to vegetable tempura, and it’s all pretty delicious. And with the large group tables, excellent party vibes, and the seemingly never ending bottles of Kirin, good luck getting the group to ever leave.
