Get Your Izakaya On: Honda-Ya

Honda-Ya (333 S. Alameda, Suite 314, Los Angeles) is a nearby haunt of ours in the Little Tokyo Galleria. We go there often with Mr. Monkey's family, including Little Monkey Niece.

For those of you unfamiliar with izakaya, it's basically Japanese small plates in a tavern setting. Drinking is usually the primary focus at such places, but the food here is a star in its own right.

The prices are great. You won't need to hold back when most things cost from $3.50 to $12.95 (which is the price a giant two-item dinner combination).

    I went to a birthday party here and remember drinking well and eating well. Good times!

    I've been meaning to try this place since it opened but haven't gotten around to it. Nice to know that it's somewhat kid friendly--it'll help to get my ass in there sooner! :)

    That looks so tasty! And again, I'm breaking my cardinal rule of not reading your blog before lunch time...
