For those of you who aren't familiar, izakayas are more drinking establishments than restaurants. Usually you and your buds drink sake or beer and eat a bunch of small snacks to accompany it. The best snacks to me are items off of the grilled menu (yakitori) - usually chicken skewers. When paired with an Asahi superdry, something magical happens. Does this place serve world class yakitori? No. But the fact that there is a place in the Valley to scratch this culinary itch is easily worth 4 stars in my book.
My rec: GO! With coworkers or friends. Order a japanese beer (preferably Asahi Super Dry). Order off of the Yakitori menu - try at least one unusual meat - Beef Tongue is incredible. Say "Kanpai!" a lot. Drink more beer.
