What Lydia Cheng likes about Azay:
My friends and I came here for dinner after shopping around in Little Tokyo. We arrived 5 minutes before they opened at 5:30, and we were seated right away.

What Karl Ackermann doesn't like about Azay:
Charming place but didn't have a great meal. Got the miso seabass bento and salmon tartare for dinner. We were the first couple in, so maybe the kitchen was getting off to a slow start. Salmon had a relatively strong fishy taste and some tough chewy bits, came with bread that could have been a day old. Bento main was tasty and cooked well, sides were ok. Was hoping for more based on rating and price. View all feedback.

Azay is one of the few places in LA where you can get a traditional Japanese breakfast. The set comes with rice, mackerel, tamago, miso soup, pickled vegetables...

Azay is a great little hidden gem in Little Tokyo. I recommend coming early if you want the full range of options. They will sell out if you come closer to clos...
