    Excellent cocktails, vibe, and bartender! Alex was excellent and took great care of us! Loved the Kopi espresso martini, like a dessert in a glass.

    margherita pizza
    Stephanie B.

    I would come back here just for their pizza & the romantic vibes. Very small establishment but great service & good drinks too It's close enough to the Greek Theatre to stop by and get a drink before a show

    Incredible drinks, great service, good vibes! The Vermont is the best lychee cocktail you will ever have!!! Alex is awesome

    Bar One is such a gem! The ambiance here is absolutely amazing--dim lighting, beautiful glass block walls, and a stylish bar setup that instantly gives the place a warm, intimate vibe. It's the kind of spot where you can relax and really enjoy the atmosphere. Whether you're meeting friends for a night out or going on a date, this place feels perfect. The setting is cozy but still lively, making conversations easy while still feeling like a fun night out. Sitting at the bar and watching the bartenders craft cocktails adds to the experience. The cocktails are creative and well made, and the overall aesthetic of the place makes it feel upscale without being pretentious. If you're looking for a place with great drinks and an inviting, intimate vibe, Bar One is definitely worth visiting. Will definitely come back again!

    The Alley

    Excellent spot for a late night bite! We had the pizza, not pictured because it was so delicious we could not wait, as well as the hummus. My husband had The Alley and said it was perfect. We were so impressed with the bartenders not only managing the bar but also going around and taking orders. They were very attentive! Perfect cozy date night spot.

    Great place to cap our night. The drinks were all amazing! Ordered 2 drinks from the menu and 2 mixologist's choice. It all turned out delicious. The service was attentive and great ambiance.

    Dealer's Choice Drinks

    V-Day drinks before dinner. We ask Alex our Bartender for "Dealers choice" and he made fire drinks from our favorite flavors. Great start to the night!!!

    Dealers Choice Cocktail, Fries
    Lyana O.

    This is my favorite place to go to every weekend! The food is great. The atmosphere is amazing & the drinks? Oh absolutely fantastic. I recommend getting a dealers choice drink! Alex is the best bartender there is! You can see how much passion & skill he has for what he does! Definitely a 10/10 place! But make sure you get there early! This place gets packed around 10pm!

    Ok let me start by sharing that there is a pot of gold at the of the tunnel! And it's called Bar One! The place is full of character, nice music and a nice selection of drinks. Will definitely be coming back!

    Bartender Alex is the best in LA. Cocktails are always balanced and delicious and I'm so happy to see him here at Bar One!! Highly teccomend getting the DEALER CHOICE. Alex will give you exactly what you want and more. This place was super cute, too!! TRY THE CRISPY RICE SO GOOD.

    Charged twice on my card
    Tania D.

    Grumpy bartender, premade / batched cocktails. Very Cold crispy rice spicy tuna. No ginger offered at an Asian restaurant? Also, poured me 1/2 a martini. Odd experience. Maybe it was an off night because it's the day after Xmas. But definitely not worth it... they charged me for someone else bill to top it off

The space is cozy, dim, and stylish perfect for a slow, flavorful night of yakitori, small plates, and sake. The sushi is clean and high quality, the skewers come out smoky with that perfect char, and the wagyu dishes are the kind that make you pause mid conversation. Their sauces and marinades lean bold, and the plating always feels intentional without being pretentious. Service is warm, pacing is smooth, and the whole experience feels like a neighborhood gem that knows exactly what it's doing. A refined but relaxed izakaya with standout flavors, great energy, and a menu worth exploring bite by bite.

    If you're ordering skewers, the scallop, sea bass, and prime beef kushiyaki are absolute standouts…read more The scallop is incredibly tender, while the sea bass is the must-order. Even if don't like seabass, you must try this one! it's buttery, perfectly charred and melts in your mouth. The prime beef is equally impressive: tender, packed with rich umami flavor, and cooked to perfection. For a larger dish, you can't go wrong with either the sea bass or blue crab hot pot. It's so rich and comforting, the fish is always perfectly cooked, and it's more than enough food for two people. Be sure to order a side of seaweed and make your own hand rolls at the table. The kabocha salad is also unexpectedly delicious and pairs well with the other indulgent items in this order. They recently moved next door and they may be overbooking themselves so expect to wait quite a while- even if you have reservations.

We had 9…read morepeople here for a birthday celebration - food and drinks were really slow and came out staggered. Almost 1.5 hours before all the dishes finally came out. And service was also not great - the server brought out a drink that we didn't order by mistake, told us we could have it on the house, but ended up charging us for it anyway. Had already left when we noticed it. Also told us cake fee was $10, but ended up charging us $20. Food-wise, very hit or miss. The unadon, hamburger steak, and curry udon were all really good, but the yakitori skewers tended to be disappointing. The Tsukune was dry, the Negima was quite bland. The Miso Black Cod was also quite overdone, became quite rubbery when served and also was cold. Overall, I would not come back again, or recommend it. Given the price point, I expected that the food and service left much to be desired.

The menu now leans much more toward fine dining, and the prices definitely reflect that. As someone who's more of a casual diner and really enjoyed the previous menu, this new direction just wasn't for me. The staff were very kind and took the time to explain all the changes, which I appreciated. However, we ordered about six dishes and were surprised at how small the portions were. On top of that, most of the items were unfortunately pretty bland. Sadly, I won't be returning, and I really miss the old menu.

It was as good as I remembered, and probably even better. I can't imagine letting another eight and a half years pass without going back. The only negative is that parking is either difficult or $15, which feels bad in a pretty quiet residential area. Better to take a car in any case, so you can enjoy the extensive selection of sakes. We shared a full-sized bottle, I forget which but I think it was a junmai daiginjo, and it was lovely. Tsubaki is such a nice, welcoming little izakaya. Service is great, the atmosphere warm and easy. You just want to sit back and drink at a leisurely pace. The food is excellent, with a robust menu of creative Japanese food. We shared everything, starting with a stellar kanpachi crudo with ume ponzu, shiso, sweet onion and habanero pickles, and furikake. My favorite dish of the night was the tsukune katsu. I love tsukune, the tare-glazed chicken meatballs you'll find in any yakitori place. This was my first time having them in katsu form, panko-fried and served over cabbage with Kewpie mayo and tonkatsu sauce. The chawanmushi was delicious, silky steamed egg custard topped with Dungeness crab, truffle salt, and mitsuba. Likewise the kinoko tempura, an array of maitake, shiitake, and enoki mushrooms fried light and crispy, with yuzu shichimi and tentsuyu for dipping. We got a skewer of bonchiri from the yakitori menu, delightfully chewy bites of charcoal-grilled jidori chicken tail. Finally, a plate of yakisoba, pan-fried noodles with house-cured Peads & Barnetts char siu, pickled green garlic, and cracklin. We got the hojicha parfait, and it was more or less my ideal dessert. Roasted green tea soft serve with sesame black sugar burnt miso and candied walnuts with cornflake dust. Cold, light, sweet. I could eat a whole one by myself pretty much any time. After nine years in business, Tsubaki feels like an Echo Park institution, and the kitchen is as strong as ever. This was a wonderful dinner, one I hope to repeat soon, with more sake, more yakitori, and more hojicha parfait.

It's quite small inside and they happen to have a few tables outside. I have mixed feelings about the service though but it is what it is, just feel like we weren't attended properly and service was slower. The menu has tons of options, there is something for everyone. Unfortunately the rice balls I wanted to try were sold out for the night- which how do you run out of something popular at a 7 PM dinner? Anyway, we had the fried tempura, garlic fried rice, short ribs, and chicken oysters. Everything was delicious and I would get these dishes again. But my standouts were the short ribs, they were tender and the marinade was light and fresh. The fried tempura was another standout for me because the sauce paired so well with the lightly friend asparagus. And I'm going to to say the chicken oysters- I think they were grilled to perfection with a tiny bit of wasabi. It's so hard to pick, everything tasted amazing and you can tell everything is thoughtfully prepared and well crafted with a beautiful presentation. I really enjoyed the food here and will be back to try more items.

The black fried rice was good as well but on the sweet side. We also really liked the Grilled Fuji Apple for dessert. The other dishes were okay. The hamachi handroll lacked hamachi flavor and I mostly tasted the sauce. The miso beer spare ribs, chicken meatball, and onigiri were way too sweet for our liking. I wanted to love the beef tongue but there was way too much of the topping and it really should be on the side. The vibe of Hatch was nice. Their service was pretty good.
