Shoya

Just stumbled upon a hidden gem! 🌟 I've been on the hunt for an authentic Japanese restaurant specializing in Oden, and I finally struck gold! This place is a haven for Oden enthusiasts like me. The flavors are exquisite, and the ambiance is simply charming. If you're a fan of Japanese cuisine, this spot is an absolute must-visit. Kudos to the chefs and server for their mastery in crafting this traditional dish. I'll definitely be back for more!

🇯🇵 JAPAN (via Eat the World Los Angeles) - A two person husband and wife team take care of absolutely everything at Shoya, a place that runs like clockwork. The closed sign flips to open precisely at 18:00, and there are only nine seats so customers are asked to make reservations to allow them to prepare adequately. Your table settings will be laid out when you arrive. Clockwork does not necessarily mean speed, as almost every dish is prepared by one chef. Come with a couple hours to spend and enjoy this leisurely pace as you will most likely order at least a dozen small dishes and they will come to you at a well-timed pace. Draft beer, hot and cold sake, and plenty of shochu options make this a proper izakaya, so order your favorites and settle in for a very unique experience that you will not want to ever come to an end.

Authentic Japanese family-style food, love the atmosphere inside. It made you feel like dining in Japan right after entering. The service is indeed slower but me and my husband do enjoy the flow very much, after all everything is worth waiting.

You wouldn't be able to tell from the almost hidden outside entrance but this place is great! So many great food and sake options. The chef and the server are both delightful

This tiny hole in the wall offers a truly authentic midnight dinner experience, relaxed vibe and very low key. They have finger foods and some dishes that truly capture the essence of Japanese cuisine. My personal favorite is the beef sukiyaki pot.

Really good. cooker tried his very best to cook every meal. all are very delicious but be mindful, it will take 3-4 hours to serve your food😵

Top quality Japanese small plates. Incredible experience all around. Everything made from scratch, even the shoyu. Can't wait to go back for every special occasion.

Ginger & garlic black ham is amazing!! Can't wait to come back

Great food and service
