I went back with a couple girlfriends after having such a good experience a few years ago. Honestly, the food just wasn't as good as I remember and I was shocked by the 18% kitchen/service fee tacked onto the bill. After paying tip on top of that you end up paying A LOT of money for a meal and service that isn't on par with the money you're spending.
Be the first to ReplyPersonally I'm not big on Izakaya.
I don't hate it but it's just never been my vibe because the portions are small and the dishes cum out slow. I do believe that people who do get excited about it will like this tho, as there was quite a long line of people waiting after we arrived. Personally I love Japanese flavors so there were a couple dishes that I did enjoy. The staff was friendly and gave us blankets to keep us warm on the patio. I think the ambiance was mid but that's mostly due to the location. If you're into Izakaya, this is one to consider if you're in the LA area.

Flavor: 3/5 - The dishes here were pretty good with the Asari Saka-Mushi, Kanpachi Crudo, and Japanese Caesar Salad standing out the most to me. The dessert was rich, creamy, and sweet, which I actually loved despite not typically being into desserts. Each dish was crafted with unique ingredients and had enjoyable flavors, although nothing was exceptional. Price: 2/5 - The price to portion ratio was poor, and the 18% service charge felt off-putting. If the menu items were 18% more expensive, I don't think anyone would come here. This is not meant as an insult but an honest reflection of the hefty price. Quality: 3.5/5 - Many ingredients were intentionally sourced and hard to find. Each dish had balanced flavors with unique taste points not found at other restaurants. However, the organic status of common ingredients and cooking oil quality were unknown. One notable disappointment was the Brisket Kushiyaki, which was techinicallyyyyy wagyu but it lacked any wagyu beef and consisted almost entirely of fat. While this was disappointing given the price, I didn't deduct a full point from service as I believe the issue could have been remedied had I brought it up to the waitress. Service: 4/5 - The service was good, with a kind waitress and provision of blankets for outdoor seating. A complimentary parfait for my birthday was greatly appreciated. However, the ordering style was a downside. At an izakaya, you typically order as you go, but here, it was one large order without the option to add to it. Ambiance: Upscale, izakaya, and cozy.

Nestled in the vibrant neighborhood of Silver Lake, Tsubaki beckons with its authentic Japanese yakitori experience, promising an unforgettable culinary adventure. My recent visit to this charming establishment left me enamored with its delectable offerings and warm ambiance. The evening began with a tantalizing selection of starters, each showcasing the artistry and precision of Tsubaki's culinary team. The Chicken Wings, with their crispy exterior and tender, juicy meat, were a flavorful introduction to the yakitori feast ahead. The Chicken Oysters, a delicacy rarely found outside of Japan, delighted with their rich flavor and melt-in-your-mouth texture.

The succulent ribs, glazed with a savory-sweet sauce, were tender and flavorful, leaving a lasting impression on my taste buds.

Served in a fragrant broth infused with ginger and sake, the plump clams were a testament to Tsubaki's commitment to using fresh, high-quality ingredients.

Be the first to ReplyFood was fantastic! Must haves: Caesar salad, prawns,
Food was fantastic! Must haves: Caesar salad, prawns, clams, chicken oysters and chicken wings !! The only reason for the 4 star is because of the valet guy. Very rude. VERY rude. we visited on 2/24, 8-10pm. other than that, this place deserves a 10 star
Be the first to ReplyFood was delicious and the experience was great.
Followed down the menu in order and picked from each section. Prawns were delicious and the chicken oysters as well. The steamed egg with crab was amazing and the drinks on point. 100% would go back again.
Be the first to ReplyA cute and cozy Japanese restaurant in the Silver Lake area.
We sat at the bar. They have a nice selection of sake. And you can ask for a taste before ordering a carafe or bottle. We love the Yakitori, the selections are limited but it's very good. Charcoal grilled and we ask to go light on the sauce so we can taste the charcoal flavor. Dessert is a must, the parfait is delicious!! I believe the soft serve flavor changes but the parfait is a must have. The 3 stars is for the added service charge. We have seen service charge at many place but it is 18% here which is really hefty. We weren't too happy about that. Love the food but not sure if we would return because of the added service charge.

All right, so, where do I even begin? I agonized over booking a reservation for a cute date after work and ended up deciding on Tsubaki. The hosts were gracious; I had my work backpack and another bag, and they kindly stored my items in the back of the restaurant to free up space for me to sit comfortably. Which, and this was crucial, because the restaurant is pretty small. That being said... Every item was done to perfection. We ordered the following: - Japanese 'latkes': gorgeous presentation, loved the smoked ikura, the crunch of the potatoes, and the fresh, fatty salmon. - 'Mapo tofu' sukui-dofu: a vegetarian/possibly vegan take on mapo tofu! Delicious, refreshing, and just the right amount of spicy and acidic. - Oshinko: please get pickles when you're here! I loved the Asian pear pickles in yuzu and an ACV brine, such a fun accompaniment to the meal. - Chawanmushi: plenty of dungeness crab, egg custard was light and silky. The trick here is to achieve a balance of hot and cold bites, and this was delicious. - Kani chahan: I don't know where I read this, but I was under the impression this was made with duck fat. Much to our luck, it wasn't. Folks, this was really good garlic fried rice with plenty of crab, definitely one of the more satiating dishes here. - Gindara nitsuke: such a delightful, comforting bowl of black cod, tofu, and greens. Not what we expected, but tasty regardless. - Yuzu panna cotta: yuzu perfectly cut the richness of the panna cotta, toasted rice crisps (?) on top were crucial for that diversity of texture. Coming back here again because NE LA has way too many good restaurants, Tsubaki among them. Definitely going to check out Ototo as well, which is right beside Tsubaki! Forgot to mention this, but the sake collection is extensive (to put it lightly), if you're a fan of libations. All in all, our meal wasn't cheap, but definitely worth it for a date. Hell, those Japanese 'latkes' keep me up at night, so it might be time for another trip sooner than later! :D
Be the first to ReplyHave been going here for years.
So I can say is that we're never disappointed. It's such a wonderful ambiance, it's a very romantic and beautiful setting. Just came here again to celebrate Valentine's Day and once again it was stunningly spectacular. The dishes are always so well thought out, savory, plated well and just delicious. The service is always wonderful and the servers are always very well informed and are just delightful to be around. The servers are always on it, keeping in mind I'm the type of person that likes to be left to enjoy my meal and I don't require too much attention. We had the chawannushi which was something we've never had before. It was new, it was vibrant, and just delicate and delectable. The crab was sweet, fresh, tender and worked amazingly with the egg. We also had the fall market tempura which was fried to perfection and the potatoes were nice and tender, plus the sauce that came with it was so good we had to ask for more. One of my favorite dishes of the night was the sakana shio-yaki. Definitely something you must try. The fish was absolutely amazing and just so deliciously delicate in texture, and the skin was nice and crispy with a lot of flavor. The brisket kushiyaki was really nice as well, simple but impressive. The quality of the wagyu was perfect, and the taste was impressive. Finally last but not least the gindara nitsuke was a dish I've had many times before at other establishments, and I can definitely say it ranks high amongst all the dishes I've had prior. It's hard to say and in fact it may be the best I've ever had, what I can tell you we finished it all and that the cod was definitely something special and just cooked to perfection with love and care. And the broth it's served in is something you won't forget anytime soon. Overall this is a place you must try, and I most certainly will continue to patron this establishment as long as they keep making this incredible food.

Last night I celebrated my birthday dinner at Tsubaki and this restaurant was incredible! Our server was patient, accommodating, and truly made the evening special for me and our large group of wild women! We went the prefixed route, family style, and the menu was so well curated and our belly's left full! Highly recommend spending any celebration here and walking your pallets through a tasting!

A little pricy for a regular night out for me but all their tapas were so good. Caesar Salad. Wagyu.
Be the first to ReplyThe food was so good! Service is a little slow though.
I recommend getting the clams and the yuzu chicken yakitori. Also the cod was very flavorful. They have a wide variety of sake to try. It's a little cute place with a great somewhat more fancy ambience, so it would be a great place for a date! Overall, highly recommend

Came here for an early valentines dinner! We had a reservation but it did take a while to be seated, however staff was really great while we waited. Indoor and outdoor seating available, parking can be a nightmare in this area at times so if you're going for the first time come early just in case. Pricey but every plate was delicious, I could have eaten about five of the Japanese latkes honestly. We did six plates + a dessert which was just enough to satiate us for dinner without being stuffed. -18% service charge for all checks-reservation recommended

Booked a reservation for 2 here on a Friday night with no troubles. Yes, the other reviews have some valid points such as difficult parking and smaller portion sizes, but the one thing that cannot be disputed is the quality and flavor of the food. And that alone is enough to give Tsubaki a 5/5 in my book.Food we ordered:1. Chawanmushi (10/10) - a surprisingly big amount of crab, in healthy pieces, and savory steamed egg2. Crab Fried Rice (forgot the name, 10/10) - despite being the 2nd crab dish we ordered, it still was amazing and couldn't get enough3. Braised Short Rib (10/10) - savory, deep, sweet, tender, please order this when you come. Not a big portion size, but every bite will be delicious4. Got a bunch of skewers, our preference went Wagyu, Pork Jowl, Chicken Wing, Chicken Gizzard (10/10 to 7/10 for the gizzard)Definitely come check it out and there is a huge selection of sake to pair with dinner.

Attentive and informative servers and recommendations from them were great. Suggest make reservation if you plan on dining after 7pmThe space is small ~36 for indoor seating, but you can also reserve ourdoor seating. They do have outdoor heaters but you will be seated on a slanted sidewalk outside dining.
Be the first to ReplyAmazing food, but this review is for Zoe's wonderful
Amazing food, but this review is for Zoe's wonderful service! I have a food allergy and she was very attentive to my needs. She spent extra time working with the chef to determine which dishes could be modified for me and made great recommendations. The food is fantastic (get the pork loin & udon), the sake selection is superb, and the ambience of the restaurant is warm and cozy. I will be returning!
Be the first to ReplyTsubaki has a cool NY vibe with the NY prices.
The food was delicious but it comes with a hefty price for an izakaya place in LA. Reservation is a must if you want to score table here. 1. Hirame Kobu-Jime- The hirame was fresh. The grated yuzu made this dish fantastic. 2. Kinoko Tempura- Probably one of my favorite dish one of the night. The tempura batter was nice and light.3. Ebi Sumibi- Yaki- These blue prawns was grilled perfect and sweet. 4. Soriresu ( Chicken Oysters) - Delicious5. Hatsu ( Chicken Heart) - Fantastic, grilled perfectly. 6. Tantoro ( Pork Jowl) - This wasn't that great. I had better pork jowl else where.7. Yaki Onigiri- This was great. An order comes with two onigiri a side of pickled cucumber and a sweet soy which was perfect the onigiri.Parking- Good luck finding street parking around there. Valet ($11)Service- Tsubaki service was professional. Overall Tsubaki was delicious but the portion is small for the price. An 18% service charge is already included in the final bill but you can ask them to remove it from the bill you wish to.

Good food! They attend to our table to make sure we had what we needed. They also gave out blankets since we were eating outside and it was cold so that was very thoughtful . Highly recommend!
Be the first to ReplyWent here for my partner and I's 2year anniversary.
It was so special to begin with, but the experience of the food made it even better. We got the A5 wagyu(not pictured because we ate it immediately). When I tell you i've never tasted heaven like that. Where was the meat on that thing? It was all tender juicy fat. But it wasnt fat. It was A5wagyu baby!! I loved the look of the place, but me being a ceramacist, I was encapsulated by their dinner ware and how it complimented each dish. My partner loves beer and he ordered Echigo because thats what the Japanese businessmen next to us were having, and he said it was a GOOD ASS BEER. Outside seating is cute and they have baby strawberries growing in their planters. So cute :3
Be the first to ReplyIt was my first time trying this place out.
I love that they have valet service in the front. I live in Irvine so it was quite a drive but it was totally worth it! We got there early so our table wasn't ready yet. You have to make reservations in advance this place gets packed. Since our table wasn't ready it was nice that they had a sister restaurant next door that we could sit, order drinks and appis till our table is ready. This place is definitely a hidden gem everything was so good. The food was very flavorful and the cold dishes were so refreshing. They have a unique sale selection. We definitely got a little drunk. I will definitely be back.
Be the first to ReplyGreat service and excellent food.
Loved everything we ordered. Highly recommend the wagyu skewers, the corn salad, the tempura, and the sashimi. Interesting sake menu with great options. Will definitely go back.
Be the first to ReplyMixed feelings about Tsubaki.
I at least enjoyed, and sometimes loved, the dishes, but they were almost comically overpriced for the size at $86 for four tiny dishes that fed maybe (maybe!) one hungry person. We were trying to have it feed two averagely hungry people and it didn't even come close.The 'Japanese latkes' were comfort food for my Jewish mother and half-Jewish me, and the high quality salmon and roe helped elevate it (I love anything with salmon roe - anything! - so this one was kind of a gimme).The pork skewers were luscious and fatty, and the only dish where I thought 'yeah, that's about the perfect amount of that'. The sauce was transformative - don't skip dipping this one.On the opposite end, the tofu and cucumber salad was refreshing but the sauce totally ruined its refreshingness.The sea bass, the dish I was the most excited about, had a subtle and intriguing flavor that I guess was from the dry-aging, but they burned the skin, which kind of overpowered the point. The pickled lotus was also pretty overpowering and I chose to eat it separately from the fish.
Be the first to ReplyThis place is more like a 4.
5/5. Everything we ordered was super tasty and the atmosphere was casual yet special. Tsubaki fulfills my fantasy of the perfect (upscale) neighborhood restaurant. And when I say upscale, I don't mean the prices. Given everything we ordered and how delicious it all was, our tab seemed perfectly reasonable. Our server was flawless: Friendly, informative, gave good advice, and left us to ourselves. My only complaint (which basically runs counter to the whole concept if izakaya dining) is that most of our dishes were served consecutively...and the pacing was uneven. Everything would have tasted so much better if we could have enjoyed more of our dishes simultaneously...but this a small gripe. Tsubaki is perfect for a date or meetup with old friends. You can't go wrong here.
