An izakaya is a type of Japanese establishment that serves alcoholic beverages and a variety of small dishes, similar to a pub or tavern. It is a popular spot for casual dining and socializing in Japan. Izakayas offer a relaxed and informal atmosphere where friends, colleagues, and acquaintances gather to enjoy drinks and order a wide range of food items to share.

jobsThis is the best Japanese food I've had outside of Japan! Every dish was delicious. The highlight was the incredible sashimi with a magical seaweed soy sauce! The service was fantastic and it had a relaxed atmosphere. I can't recommend Shirube highly enough!
Hidden gem in Santa Monica that has a local feel, great ambiance, friendly service, and delicious food. Haven't had one thing we didn't like here, but highly recommend the mackerel, corn ribs, and scallop/toro sashimi
The most famous Japanese izakaya finally opened in Santa Monica. They were selected as one of the Best Izakaya in Tokyo by Time Out magazine. It is the coolest izakaya restaurant where their creative dishes, the vitality of the open kitchen, and the friendly service are wonderful.
Incredible! Thank you so much for opening in this neighborhood. I loved the variety and quality of the food and service. We had 4 dishes and dessert for 2 people and it was very filling.
