“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.”
“Budonoki is where club meets pub, a raucous scene that never loses sight of its essence as a neighborhood restaurant.”
“Budonoki’s vision for itself is clear: It’s a space where everyone is welcome, including other chefs; a respite from the seriousness of everyday life; and an expression of the way that flavors collide and evolve in Los Angeles. ”
