About

Kinjiro is a beloved izakaya tucked into Little Tokyo at 424 E 2nd St in Los Angeles, known for its elevated take on Japanese tapas. The food here is consistently praised for its quality and beautiful presentation, with standout dishes like truffle mushroom cream udon and uni rice drawing regulars back time and again. The intimate setting creates a warm, unhurried atmosphere that suits date nights perfectly. Family-style plates make it equally fitting for a fun group hangout. Vegan and vegetarian options are available alongside the broader menu.
