“The vibe is right at Budonoki. The crowd is festive and cool and stylish but not putting on airs. The food is delicious and makes you want to drink more. This is an izakaya in Los Angeles. It’s also an izakaya that’s about Los Angeles and what it means to live and dine here.”
ANDY WANG, FORBES | Budonoki Is An LA Izakaya That Understands The Assignment.
