If you’re looking for the best Izakaya experience in West Hollywood, Izakaya Tora is the hidden gem you must try before you leave WeHo. This place perfectly blends traditional Japanese flavors with modern creativity — from the freshest sashimi to beautifully grilled skewers. Every dish feels intentional, balanced, and crafted with care.
Omakase Sashimi – fresh, buttery, and served with applewood smoke (so good you’ll forget your problems).
UNI Pasta – creamy, rich, and topped with Santa Barbara uni, tobiko & caviar. Umami bomb
Skewers – tiger shrimp, pork belly, chicken skin, seabass… every bite perfection.
The warm, welcoming vibe makes it even better — perfect for a cozy date night or a small group dinner.

This place has been my Japanese go-to in WeHo area lately. Whether it be after a hike at Runyon or decent dinner during day drinking fest at WeHo or before a night out in WeHo.
The quality is great and the portions are huge! Also they definitely don’t skimp out of the sushi fish and they always try something special like aburi method for specific nigiri/sashimi cuts to their square sushi (think musubi but sushi rolls). Moreover if you are not feeling raw fish, I love their udon and nabe dishes. And you can make you own meal as well. You can order some apps like eggplant and gyoza or salad and karage for a light meal instead of ordering entrees.
The service is always great and the place is always clean and efficient!

This is such a special spot that deserves so much attention! Although not everything is “perfect”, my dinner was an amazing experience that definitely makes me want to return.
The two girls working as hostesses/waitresses are super sweet and the chefs I interacted with are so friendly and fun!
I ordered an assortment of items starting off with the tuna pressed sushi. I think each component is very well done – the tuna is fresh, rice is nice, and the yuzu citrus sauce is tasty. But the sauce was a bit overpowering for the roll as a whole and diminished the flavor of the tuna and rice.
The crispy rice spicy tuna came out piping hot and crispy, a nice scoop of spicy tuna, and good flavor.
Now for those skewers. WOW. The tsukune or meatballs were OUTSTANDING. I could’ve eaten 10 of those things. And the sauce with the egg yolk was chefs kiss.
My other plate with the assortment were all executed well. The short rib was juicy and flavorful, the pork belly tender and soft, chicken was juicy and the chicken heart though a bit tough, had great flavor.
Overall, I’d love to come back again

A night at Izakaya Tora in West Hollywood is all about slowing down and savoring. ✨ We started with their silky uni pasta, then indulged in an unforgettable spread of premium sushi and sashimi—the uni melted like butter, the toro was rich and buttery, and every slice of fish was fresh, clean, and full of flavor.
Of course, no izakaya visit is complete without skewers—so we shared yakitori favorites: tender beef, crispy chicken skin, savory pork belly, and the standout miso Chilean sea bass.
Whether you’re a sushi purist or just love discovering new flavors, this spot is a must-visit for your next night out in WeHo.

Easily one of the best sushi spots I’ve been to. Everything was fresh and full of flavor — especially the toro, uni, and yakitori. Loved the homemade okonomiyaki too. Great service, generous portions, and reasonable prices. Highly recommend making a reservation. Will definitely be back!

Izakaya Tora in West Hollywood is consistently fantastic, and this was my 10th visit! The sushi is always fresh, with standout dishes like the melt-in-your-mouth Toro and rich Uni. The atmosphere is cozy yet modern, and the service is top-notch. Whether it’s a casual meal or a special night out, Izakaya Tora never disappoints. Highly recommend! @sushitraveler

Had wonderful experience with all the staff being kind, food quality the best, and the mood. The food quality was the best from all the sushi place I’ve been to and the cheff himself explained the ingredients as he served the food for us. They have special ingredients and fish type that not all other regular Izakaya would serve you. This is definitely a go to place with your lover, family, or even with friends. I will definitely go back every time I crave for sushi.

The sushi restaurant we visited for lunch was truly exceptional. The high-quality sushi surpassed our expectations with its fresh and flavorful taste. Uni pasta was so creamy and full of flavor and you much try their new menu, yellowtail pressed sushi! The friendly service provided by the staff added to the overall dining experience, making us feel welcome and well-cared for. The cozy atmosphere created a perfect setting for a delightful meal with my wife. We highly recommend this restaurant for anyone seeking a memorable dining experience centered around delicious sushi and excellent customer service. There’s a huge and clean dog parks behind the restaurant, which makes it a perfect spot for occasional lunch with your pets! The prices are a bit high due to being in the prime location and quality, but well worth the price point!

Tasty Japanese food in WeHo
I enjoyed the Miso Cod, which was delectably flaky. I thought it was solid but my table thought the rest of their food was just OK with the rice not feeling super fresh.
The inside is small but well designed.

Went here on a Tuesday night with a friend and surprisingly there was no wait.
We ordered carpaccio, udon, yakitori, and a variety of sushi. Carpaccio was very fresh and not too citrusy like at some other places and all the sushi just melted in my mouth! Yakitori is also a must. Beef short rib was very tender, sea bass was seasoned perfectly and buttery, and chicken skin was personally my favorite. Last but not least, uni cream udon is to die for. At most places that I have had it the cream can be too overwhelming and heavy but here it was well balanced. Also there was so much uni that they threw in there you can taste the uni until the last bite of this dish.
Overall, the ambiance, the quality of food, and the customer service was great and I will be back!
