Izakaya Gazen Los Angeles Reviews from The Last Year
Izakaya Gazen was a wonderful lunch spot for my family! We
Izakaya Gazen was a wonderful lunch spot for my family! We parked two blocks away at the parking lot in front of a giant smoke shop. It was $10 self park I believe! We were seated right away by a nice gentleman. I specifically chose this spot because my dad loves tofu and I was excited for him to try the sampler. The sushi here was all very fresh and tasty. We loved the small dishes as well. Their furikake with rice and the sashimi hit the spot. It also came with a small salad and a small cup of classic chilled tofu. The tofu is a little tasteless, but refreshing. Don't be fooled by the chirashi's size--that bowl is deep and quite filling. As for the tofu sampler, I would recommend one to share amongst your group to taste test! The portions are actually bigger than the photos look! They are generous with the tofu and provide like fist-size portions! They also advise you on how best to eat each type of tofu. I think my family liked all of them, but the least preferred was the black sesame tofu, not too sure how to explain why. PS if you like the Asian sweet tofu with syrup, ask for a little sugar to sprinkle on top! Thank you so much for the excellent customer service and yummy food!
Perfect for our date night! I love it when the food and
Perfect for our date night! I love it when the food and ambience turns out really good when discovering new places. They were playing jazz music and it felt really peaceful/ romantic. I've lived in Los Angeles all my life and have frequently been to Little Tokyo but was shocked we didn't come here sooner. My husband got a mango drink and it tasted like soda! I ordered a similar named drink but green tea. It was not the same and I asked to exchange it for the mango flavor. Our waiter was so friendly and didn't hesitate to accommodate me. We ordered a variety of dishes and the portions/ prices were fair! I also had a late lunch and choosing to go to an Izakaya was worth it. Our favorite menu item had to be the salmon rice bowl. Every dish was delicious and we can't wait to try out more!
Really great food and great service.
Used to go to the one in Hawaii for years until it closed post-COVID. Glad there is one in LA!!!

Went here for a birthday and ordered a bunch of dishes of course including their famous tofu dishes! Tofu sampler ($12), Tofu steak($11), aburi wagyu & uni, beef tongue tataki ($16), Shrimp Tempura ($18), Jidori chicken wings (9), Squid somen ($9), Spicy Edamame ($7), Japanese style omelette with udon (not that good; don't order it). Service is of course great! Japanese places are awesome in this regard. Ambiance was good too. We went on a Tuesday evening and it wasn't too busy. There's parking for Japanese Village Plaza from Central Ave and the restaurant validates for you!! I think it's 2 hours free with validation.
Excellent dishes! Loved the black cod and all their tofu /
Excellent dishes! Loved the black cod and all their tofu / soy dishes - especially the silky soy pudding! Very decent beef tongue. I also enjoyed the intimate ambience. Service was pretty fast.
Laughs on Tap and Sake That Sings Sauntered into Izakaya
Laughs on Tap and Sake That Sings Sauntered into Izakaya Gazen, right? Expecting a quiet, authentic Japanese dining experience. But holy wasabi, it's like the chefs double as jesters and the sake bottles come with their own stand-up routine. By day, it's all about those set lunches - perfect for the solo samurai looking for a quick, delicious bite without the hassle of sharing. I'm like, "Hey, miso soup, finally we can have some alone time." But when the sun sets, Gazen transforms. It's less of a restaurant and more of a culinary comedy club. Plates so small, they must be for the 'light' hearted - yet so flavorful, you'd think the ingredients were seasoned with punchlines. And the not-so-small plates? They've got more layers than the plot of a manga series. I'm talking depth of flavor that could rival a heartfelt anime monologue, folks. Drinks, anyone? The Japanese beer is crispier than a fresh tempura, and the shochu's smoother than a karaoke crooner's love ballad. But the sake? It's served with a wink and a nudge. I half expected my glass to chime in with a haiku about being poured. At Gazen, you share everything - plates, laughs, the existential crisis when you can't decide which sake to try next. The vibe? It's as if every izakaya from Tokyo airlifted their charm and dropped it right in the heart of the neighborhood. So here's to Izakaya Gazen - where every bite is a jest, and every sip is a poem. It's the sort of place where you come for the food and stay for the 'rice' humor. Kampai to that!

This time we visited as mom and son, 2 of us and sat at the bar table where has enough space for each person. My son love their food and going back to this restaurant was one of his top highlights of our LA trip. Thanks for the great food and pleasant service!

When it comes to dining out, I have many favorites in Little Tokyo, but there is one restaurant that stands out above the rest. Every time I visit Izakaya Gazen, I simply have to order their Tofu Sampler, Chu-toro sushi, O-Toro sushi, Uni sushi, and a few other dishes that I just can't resist. One of the things I appreciate about this restaurant is that they are always happy to accept reservations. Knowing that we won't have to wait for a table makes it so much easier to plan a dinner out with friends or family. Plus, they have plenty of space to accommodate large groups, which is great for special occasions. Another reason I love this restaurant is its seating options. Whether you prefer to dine indoors or outdoors, they have you covered. On warm summer evenings, it's lovely to sit outside and enjoy the bustling street scene of Little Tokyo. And on cooler nights, the indoor dining area is cozy and inviting. The only downside to this restaurant is the limited parking options. Street parking is the only option, which can be a bit of a challenge on busy nights. But to me, the delicious food and welcoming atmosphere make it more than worth the effort.
Had a reservation and came with some friends for dinner.
Very nice restaurant. Great ambiance, very quick and friendly service. Would recommend coming back! Food: We ordered the - Seared duck chashu: seared duck over light soy flavor sauce, tender and comes with a marinated egg. Very tasty 8/10 - Salmon Ikura rice bowl: This was a really good bowl with lightly torched/cooked salmon and large ikura over a bed of Japanese rice 10/10 - Sashimi platter: this was a beautiful set with 8 different cuts of fish/shellfish oturo, salmon, tuna, uni, scallops, albacore, shrimp. What was cool was that they fry the shrimp head for you and that was actually delicious 10/10 - soft shell crab roll: beautiful roll but flavor was lacking 6/10 - tempura plate: shrimp tempura was great! 8/10 - Tofu sampler: it was good to try but not sure that I would get again. Comes with 3 tofus, all homemade, you can tell it's different and more earthy. It came with a creamy one that my gf reminds her of Alfredo, black sesame one which had sesame seeds infused with it, and a classic tofu. Classic tofu had not much flavor so they provide salt and green tea salt to help increase the flavor 6/10 Overall, great ambiance and food
Beef seiro-mushi shabu shabu, fried tuna, beef tongue !
We had beef seiro-mushi shabu shabu, fried tuna, beef tongue etc…, and everything we had was something I had never tried before, and all of them were very good !
Keep away from the unbalanced unstable server
We've been here a number of times over the years and noticed the food was going downhill, and the service has always been super slow, but we continued to go anyway until last month. We had a tofu dish which was spoiled. When we complained to the server (about 40 years old, black ponytail, thin Japanese woman with a Japanese accent) about the inedible tofu, her reaction was extraordinary. She demanded that we give her a tip immediately, told us to never return, then loudly threatened to call the police! We do not know if she was a manager or what. The other employees all saw her making a terrible scene, but none of them came over to see what was going on and to get her to stop yelling.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Tune into NBC News - Top Story Tonight 7:40p ET
Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
