Review Highlights
According to the bf, this is a place you must remember on a hot summer's day because their Kirin is ICE COLD! I'm not a big drinker but I must admit that refreshing sip will be in the back of mind when it starts heating up again.
We stumbled in during their late Happy Hour and were thoroughly surprised by their food. The beer is only $1.50 and most of their dishes were fairly priced, including their generous portion of spicy tuna roll and their fresh fried chicken (It's flavorless if you don't add the salt and lemon provided. Add them and it's simply delicious!). Their salmon sushi was actually incredibly good for a Izayaki style place. But what was super delicious was their Tempura Ice Cream. It comes out fresh and omg... the bf devoured it.
All in all, not superb but their happy hour and relaxed atmosphere may make this a regular place to just kick back.
Mixed feelings for this place. I went here twice and I have bad and good experiences here. First of all...parking sux!! Sux!! Sux!! Sux!! Bring extra change for parking meter or you'll get a parking ticket. Seriously they actually wait for your meter to expire and ticket you that second.
Lunch combo: japanese fried chicken (not good but I ate it), tempura (tasted like frozen shrimp but I was hungry). Service was great that day.
Bento box (whatever is good that day): Good salmon with spinach soup, some kind of fish (tasted like black cod) in miso sauce that tasted like cheese...pretty tasty, beef with veggie (not bad), and boiled taro ball (no comment). Service was great again.
Iced Green Tea: oishi n refreshing
It's a nice place to relax when you have a bad day. You can go there and forget all your problems and have a nice quiet lunch.
Nice Ambiance and Japanese Fried Chicken!
~Service and Ambiance ~4 stars
This place is actually kinda cool on the inside. It is nice and cozy. I felt very comfortable. The service is good. They also have various lunch specials which come in hand when you are trying to save a buck.
Japanese Fried Chicken- it was ok, but not the best I have had. 3 stars.
Tempura-I had way better, perhaps the best, at a soba place in Torrance. I have to give this one 2 stars.
Parking: Well it's down town. Sucks.
Bonus! Free Refills on yummy iced green tea!
Note.. I was giving this 3 stars..but you know what?? This place is pretty cool. Food is whatevers..but what a cool place to just chill with your good friends!
Overall, this place is ok. I will come back but not right away. There are way too many other places to try first. I did have a good time and experience..but mostly based on the company I had and the ambiance.
I think the change in management is for the better. Except for no longer having the fantastic albacore carpaccio, or my favorite waiter Yoshi, almost everything else on the menu has been kicked up a little bit.
It's a perfect place to go with a bunch of people, drink beer and sake and order plate after plate of yummy snacks. The octopus fritter things are out of this world and both variations of the shishito [seared with bonito or deep fried with a pork stuffing] are awesome. They no longer have the page of Japanese canned foods, but that was strictly for amusement only. Is it fine dining? No, and its not supposed to be. It's a bar snack drinking spot and it accomplishes its purpose perfectly. Friendly, hustling service, ice cold beer, good sake list and excellent food, both raw and cooked.
Ebisu is a great restaurant. The chef is an artist. We ordered the bento lunch special for $8.50 a piece. It came with mixed green salad, eggplant miso soup, grilled mackerel with a sour green relish, delicately light tempura (squid and vegetable), carrot and lotus pickles, and mushroom and umeboshi rice balls artfully wrapped in nori seaweed. We don't know what this restaurant was like under previous management, but we had a fabulous meal that we'll remember for a long time.
I went here with my mom for dinner two years ago. The place was completely empty except for us. The decorations inside were pretty nice, and the food was alright.
Whoa, what happened to this place? It used to be reliable -- if middling in quality -- but my last three visits have been steadily worse.
I think the management has changed because they started serving hand rolls in wine glasses, and they're smaller and stuffed with wasabi... and the wrapping was mushy instead of crunchy.
A place that used to be "just okay" is now demoted to "pretty bad" status. I used to visit Ebisu weekly at least, but no more. I've put them on one of my one-year moratoriums. I really hope they fix their problems because it used to be great for late-night sushi.
This is a Japanese style tavern that is open late and the food is pretty good. I've taken colleagues from Japan here and they drank a lot and enjoyed it. Fortunately, they were able to stay at the Kyoto Grand Hotel for the night to nurse the hangover !
I think my rating for this place says it all about how I feel about this joint. Three stars - A-OK.
I love izakaya style Japanese food and I want one on the east side. My favorite one to date is definitely Musha (the one in Torrance is better than the one in Santa Monica). I want to find a respectable one on the east side. Sadly, this is not it. It isn't *bad* per se, but definitely not the best izakaya there is on earth, ever. Meh. To be honest I only came here tonight coz Daikokuya (their sister restaurant for ramen) closed early.
Having been to the Japanese Village often, I never saw this place till the other night.
I can't really speak about anything else but late night Happy Hour.
At 11pm - 2am, they have Happy Hour - awesome.
Inexpensive great rolls, $1.50 beers in frosty cold mugs, Hot sake.
Perfect late night happy hour. Joy.
The uni sashimi and tempura soft shell crab are about the only things I really enjoy here. The wasabi squid is good too, but better at Shin Sen Gumi. The prices are not great either, so I can't say "at least it's cheap" since, it is not. For a far better izakaya experience, stick to Musha.
By the way, the parking garage next door closes promptly at 10 pm on Sundays. I know this because my car is currently stuck there as I type this at 1 am, in which I will need to retrieve it when the damn thing opens again at 5:30 am. a;sldkha;sdlfkha;sg!!!!!
Came here for my 21st birthday dinner. I had a craving for sushi and we were actually going to go to Komasa, but it was full and too tiny and couldn't fit the 8 of us, so we ended up stumbling upon Ebisu.
The restaurant is very roomy and is perfect for larger parties. There's even this central huge table with a carved boat in the middle. The decorations are pretty cool too. Looks just like a fisherman's tavern. Has booths and tables to fit small and large parties.
As for the food, I tried their salmon & spicy tuna bowl (I think) with salmon sashimi and spicy tuna. Delicious and the portions were generous. I couldn't finish mine. Prices were reasonable. I also had a side of their sushi. It was pretty good.
I wanted to get carded since it was my bday, so I ordered a green apple soju (REALLY GOOD, btw, for people like me who are weak and don't like strong alcohol - tastes just like green apple soda) but they didn't card me or any of my friends so just fyi ...
Don't let the decor throw you off. It might be in need of a face life but the great menu, helpful staff and awesome late night hours will have you coming back! The spicy tuna they use is stuff dreams are made off!!! NOM NOM NOM delicious!
I've been here a couple times with my buddies - once for lunch and once for dinner. Both occasions didn't disappoint and I was very impressed with the menu. Having lived in Japan for so long, I've always been disappointed with the izakayas back here in the states but Ebisu actually did impress me. Not only did they offer a variety of items, the items were delicious in taste. One of my izakaya favorites, "wasabi tako" was good and their chicken kara-age and sushi rolls were nice too. Prices are average and pretty much the same as any izakaya in Tokyo. Atmosphere is nice with a Japanese fisherman's wharf feel to it, decorated with authentic looking Japanese fishing group flags.
Give this place a go.
Really liked the sushi rolls, sashimi, and hand rolls here. Good combo deals and nice overall restaurant.
I've only been here twice, but I'm looking forward to going back soon.
Overall, good food for a good price.
Last night, the uncurbable desire for "food in neatly arranged compartments" struck once again, and of course that only means one thing IT'S BENTO TIME!
Conveniently I was already in downtown, so off to Little Tokyo I went. My dinner date had heard about Ebisu and had been itching to try it, and the picture-ridden menu looked good and cheap. Unfortunately, I learned the hard way that when you're craving sushi, cheap doesn't work - even in Little Tokyo. Then again, neither does Izakaya.
Granted, it was in no way a bad experience. We were greeted by the cutest little Japanese man (aka, Yoshi) upon arrival. Throughout the entire meal he was prompt, witty, and quick to bring us our food. Not to mention the atmosphere, as someone else put it, kindof does feel like you're at the bottom of a Japanese sunken pirate ship. In Veronica-land this is a VERY good thing. So for atmosphere and service, five stars.
The miso soup and salad we started off were also amazing. I wish I could just drink whatever dressing they put on that salad - something like a garlicky vinegary thousand island concoction that alas I'm sure I'll never be able to replicate...*sigh*.
My bento box included chicken teriyaki and sushi, which consisted of albacore, ahi, yellowtail, shrimp, and salmon. The chicken was good - and although I don't expect traditional japenese restaurants to de-fat the chicken for me, I figure a full quarter of it having to be pulled off was a bit much. The sushi wasn't *bad* but...well okay maybe a little bad. It was slightly sticky and chewy, and had me thinking it might have been in that kitchen long enough to file for American citizenship already...
So in the end, a solid three stars for some good and some bad. Hey, when it comes to Izakaya, consider my lesson learned. Next time I'm going fried or going home.
The first time I went here, the service was OK. My sister and I ordered a bowl of udon each and one caterpillar roll. Only one bowl came out as they forgot to tell the kitchen how many we wanted. I ended waiting a while and was okay with it because I thought it was a common mistake and it could happen to anybody. I was wrong. I just came back from that place 2 hours ago and they ruined my night. I ordered two bowls of udon and two rolls and waited 20 minutes for ONE bowl of Udon to come out. They forgot to tell the kitchen that we ordered two. I waited a good 30 minutes before complaining and I told them to cancel my order. Our sushi didn't even come out, either. It was so bad, the people that came 10 minutes after us that ordered more sushi and other food than we did got theirs first and were almost done with their food by the time I canceled the order. They seem understaffed and frantic when more than 3 groups of people come in. I don't think I'm ever going back there again.
Im a regular customer here and they are very consistent with their food. I like the non fancy traditional feeling. I usually go with a group of friends and we always have a great time.
Avoid it. The food is really horrible, it's neither authentic nor creative, it's . bad. The wait staff is pleasant, but I can't figure out why they would knowingly serve terrible food with a smile. Yuk.
The highlight of any trip to an izakaya for me is deep fried chicken cartilage, karaage style, and a good cross section of every Japanese beer that is exported to the US.
Sadness, they did not have chicken cartilage, although it was on the menu. I was hoping they could also provide me with a good soju cocktail, but was let down here as well - too sweet. I was also hoping I would not be the unlucky bastard in credit card roulette... lol our waitress actually felt the need to apologize to me and offered to draw again. Ebisu made up for it by actually having Yebisu beer, in a can, but at least they had it, and I had threeeeeeeeeeeee.
Not sure why you would order sushi at an izakaya?! Hama Sushi is across the street and if you're broke-ass, go to Frying Fish.
Ebisu is Japan's god of fisherman, the morning sun and one of the seven popular luck gods within the Shinto pantheon . . . I got that somewhere, but did not attach the footnote here.
Interesting, Ebisu's father is Daikoku . . . makes me hungry just thinking of these gods.
Ebisu is an izakaya (drinks and small plate appetizers . . . thus Japanese "tapas" or "mezza").
Ebisu is housed in what once was Mandarin Deli Chinese Restaurant on 2nd Street (between San Pedro and Central) in the ground floor of the Art Deco-style "Brunswig Square" office building (cool lobby). You do not enter Ebisu from the building . . . its got its own entrance and is off to the west of the entrance, just past Nabe Shabu Shabu (whic used to be my beloved Zakuro, many moons ago.)
The decor looks like a giant sushi serving boat landed in the middle of the room. Otherwise, its a bunch of booths circling this boat. You can sit at the boat, counter style.
The servers are nice, pleasant, but not very attentive when busy. But they make up for it by being pleasant and apologetic.
The prices are a tad below Izayoi, as is the quality. There are many choices of sushi, sushi rolls, typical izakaya dishes like karaage (fried chicken thighs), sausage, grilled peppers (menu says poppers), takoyaki, simmered pork belly (buta kakuni?). The food is good, but is meant to be eaten when drinking or drunk . . . so order accordingly.
They are open late (1:00 am I'm told) and are a good option when the Japanese Village Plaza palces are closing or closed.
Oh, they serve Yebisu Beer . . . the Japanese "Fat Tire" (or so I am told) . . . I am not a beer critic at all.
Good sushi. But I'm always inebriated here, so what do I know? Order the volcano (which is on fire and pretty) or the fire dragon (also very very good).
I have been going here for most of my college life to do the one thing college kids do best in Japanese restaurants that irritate everyone else in the restaurant: sake bombing.
Instructions for sake bombing:
1. Order excellently well priced beers.
2. Order hot sake (I heard from some people you should do cold sake...but I didn't learn it this way, and hot sake is cheaper.)
3. Fill glass 3/4 of the way with beer.
Now, the rules after this change based on what time you go and who is in the restaurant. If it's early, like nine, and there are a lot of people, PLEASE be nice to the servers and just drop the sake in the mug yourself. Don't be a jack-arse. They are very nice, it is really well priced, and your age does not excuse you from manners. They even ice the beer mugs for you, which is frankly incredible.
If it is late (like one am) and the servers are okay with it, follow these instructions.
After step three, put two chopsticks on the mugs.
Put the sake cup on the chopsticks.
Have someone give a toast.
Slam hands down on table so the sake cups drop into the beer.
Drink.
Tip the servers well. They have to deal with us all the time. They are very hospitable. And my favorite people in all of Little Tokyo. Order lots of food. Have fun.
I'm not one to get star struck. Whenever I've seen a celebrity in person, the most I'd do is just look for a few seconds and then go about my way. Usually.
But how often do you get to see the asian prince, Tuan Anh sitting ten yards from your table in Little Tokyo? And for those of you that have been hiding under a rock, here are some Google'd images for your visual delight: http://tinyurl.com/5emfpj
Isn't he dreamy? The starstruck gal next to me first noticed him, punched my shoulder and said through her teeth, "OMG, do you see who's sitting at the table over there?!"
I nonchalantly leaned to the side and then I was immediately starstruck as well. Soon after, the epidemic spread to our whole table --yearning to catch a glimpse of his majestic presence.
As for the restaurant, I could only wish this place was as dreamy as the asian prince. We got ignored by servers as they passed by. All our drinks came out at separate times. And it felt like a lifetime just to get the check. But can you really blame the staff for their lackluster service when they were just as starstruck as we were? I think not.
this place sucks as well as over priced.
But the soda tastes good though... hahahahahaha
My friends and I were in Little Tokyo trying to find a place to get our sushi fix. My gf happened to notice Ebisu across the street from where we were at. We walked over with our friends and checked out their menu that they had a copy of right outside the entrance. After scoping out the menu, we decided to give this place a try. The first thing that you notice when you walk in is the cool decor. There is a center table near the entrance that is shaped like a boat. Cool stuff. We were seated at a booth. The staff is friendly. We order sashimi, yellowtail collar, and a cold noddle dish that one of my friends was craving. Oh and don't forget the SAKE! =) The food was good and the prices were as well. This is a place that we wouldn't mind going to again when we are in the Little Tokyo area. Take care fellow Yelpers!
Walked in through the doors on accident. Our first choice was closed! The blasphemy!
I thought the food at Ebisu was great! They have tons of smaller plates. Japanese style tapas! They also have sake and beer! Woo hOO!
I thought the decor was super cute! I felt like I was the Little Mermaid under the sea... Under the sea... You know it's better down where it's wetter...
Under the sea...
I thought the braised pork was tender and flavorful (tasted just like galbi jeem).
The sushi tacos were hearty and crunchy!
Mayo shrimp was spicy!
Sushi boat was fresh and firm... Just how I like my young bucks.
Oh and they serve barley green tea!
They are open until 1 am. Perfect place to drink, talk, and munch. Park on the street!
after a friday night of boozing and realizing most of the other places in j-town were closed by 11, our options were limited: wait at daikokuya, eat average ramen at koraku, or try ebisu.
seeing as how we had all consumed massive quantities of alcohol on practically empty stomachs, we wanted to eat immediately. so out went option daikokuya. after my friend insisted that we eat some sushi and that he was paying (just goes to show you how drunk he was), out went option koraku.
in typical izakaya fashion, your meal begins with tsukidashi (a small appetizer of sorts that usually varies by the day; on this day, it was pickled cucumber).
we ordered the large sashimi platter ($25)...and in seconds, slices of sashimi were swimming in our bellies full of beer. the sashimi was solid. not the best, yet definitely not the worst.
i ordered a beef bowl ($7.95). it tasted as good as a beef bowl can possibly taste. i think they went a little overboard with the onions...but the extra sauce (tsuyudaku) that was poured over the meat/rice was lovely (i didn't request the extra sauce, so if you don't like saucy rice, then you might want to tell them to go light). they definitely weren't sheisty with the quantity.
if you're in j-town earlier, i'd say you can easily find better food elsewhere. however, if you're around the area past 11 and drunk, then ebisu will do the trick.
if you tend to disagree, then the reason is simple: you must not have been drunk enough.
I didn't have very fond memories of my last visit. Service actually was better this time, but I've been to better places since my last visit in June, so I was more cognizant of the standard of the food.
Freshness was not apparent, if not missing, in the dishes. I mean, nothing else needs to be said about a restaurant if things don't taste fresh... especially when we are talking about sushi and sashimi :(
Remember to park in the structure next to it and get your ticket validated. Little Tokyo can be a parking nightmare.

Like I said before, when you're hungry, almost everything tastes good. What the people at my table… Read more »
I love the menu. A little bit of everything for everyone...and there are colorful clear pictures to help you along the way. I dropped in for some late night grub and found it's the perfect place for that. When I first stepped in, I was taken aback by all the decorations, but it gives your visionary senses a stir. The food was pretty good, but I mostly ordered small side dishes.
I've never been to a place that serve natto and I've never had it, so, of course, that had to be dish #1. Natto looks intimidating with it's slimy-ness, but once you get past that, it's pretty darn good! It came with tuna, wasabi, and a raw quail egg. Put some soy sauce, mix it up, and you're ready to go. I don't remember what the other stuff is called, other than it was raw squid and octupus in some liquidy substance. Looks scary, but pretty good. Kinda chewy though. The yellowtail sashimi was really yummy, but the California roll was just average. But then again, after eating raw squid and slimy fermented soy beans, the California roll would be average.
The third restaurant in the Bishamon family I am reviewing.
So I love Daikokuya and Bishamon, and I love my good friend Waki, who is a head chef in the company, so I thought I would love Ebisu. The food was good, but it seemed so quiet and family oriented. I'm not getting drunk here!
So I asked Waki about it, and they already know. They're gonna change it up a little to be fun and loud like a izakaya should. And guess where they're gonna learn that from??? A Korean cafe! I kid you not. We know how to be fun drunks!
So until then, they can't get a full five stars from me. They do get a four cuz the pepper poppers (stuffed shisito peppers, Waki's recipe) are the most yummilcious things I've ever had at an izakaya. NO JOKE!!!
off topic: Btw, have you seen the pic of my cat? He's so cute!!!
its just ok.... they have so many different things on the menu but it still feels like they are missing a few......this is one of those places that could add a few more rolls.
the ahi tuna pepper was my favorite the albacore was not so fresh
the servers are really nice i just think the food can be caught up to speed.
i probably wouldnt come back here because there are so many other great places in j-town...unless they had an amazing happy hour or something.
The very first time I came here, I ordered their beef udon noodle bowl or something to that effect. It was unspectacular and very ordinary tasting. It didn't fill me up at all and I was starving. On the brighter side of things, they do serve pitchers of beer there though at, I think, $14 a pop.
I don't really have a good opinion of this place, which isn't to say that you should avoid this place. Maybe I should have ordered something which is their specialty like sushi, for instance, but that night, I did not feel like eating raw food. I wanted something hot and cooked.
I will need to visit this place a couple of more times before forming a definite opinion. So for now, I'd say you should try it out at least once and order what everyone else here suggests--sushi.
Well, first off this is not a tavern; it's a restaurant. I gave it three stars anyway though, because the food was decent, and the service was fast and friendly.
Being a San Diego native, when it comes to sushi, I am used to the modern expensive decor and lounge music type of experience. I am learning that Little Tokyo is not quite the same. Ebisu is a great place for sushi, the quality is the same as some nicer restaurants that I have frequented, the reasonable price makes up for the tacky decor and not-so- EXCEPTIONAL sushi. Its good. Only have had sashimi and nigiri, and tempura bowls.
Very very good, and close to the pinkberry and mall, fun after dinner activities.
A friend and I had first went over to a sushi joint across the street and walked out because of the poor service and WALKED INTO EBISU. I'm overall happy with that decision of walking thru Ebisu's doors.
A bit hesitant with the rating on the door then we still decided to walk in and grab some lunch. The service was great, the atmosphere was lovely and the chefs brought out our food. Just very attentive in all aspects. We a few specialty rolls including the volcano which they light at your table. It was very good although i don't have much interest for warm texture throughout my sushi when eating other cold sushi's. We pretty much just ordered a whole lot of food that we couldn't possibly eat all by ourselves. I may be a nerd for saying this but when i ordered oolong tea, i thought it'd be in tea pot form but instead it was a can of oolong tea extra sweetened. I kinda wish they had just brought me hot tea but the waitress said their wasn't any available. hmmm, still had a great meal and experience...give it a shot then you can hit up 2nd street jazz a few doors down for a cocktail :)
the prices are cheap for what you get! I ordered the spicy tuna and salmon bowl, sukiyaki, mixed tempura, and the grilled mackeral. The spicy tuna and salmon bowl was yummy! They give about 5 big slices of salmon sashimi and a whole lot of rice. the sukiyaki is not worth it. they give you very little and put mostly vegetables in it. the tempura was fried really well. the batter is not thick or oily. I also like the variation of vegetables, shrimp and fish they give you. The grilled mackeral was very moist and delicious! its only $6.95! very worth it. I'll come back when i want some pretty good cheap eats. 3.5 -4 stars.
Ebisu is genuinely Japanese, I will say that for it. And I can't lie, I love the decor, which is best described as 'fishing village' chic!
Great place to drink a lot of beer while simultaneously partaking of thoroughly edible Japanese food (something which can't exactly be said of nearby Haru Ulala). That said -- the food is, in fact, perhaps only thoroughly edible following copious amounts of aforementioned beer.
Uh, one problem. Ebisu is uncomfortably quiet, for an Izakaya -- this IS an Izakaya, right? -- which will most definitely put a damper on your willingness to get hammered and make a painfully noticeable spectacle of yourself.
In other words, go to Ulala if you're looking to make some noise. Everybody's going apeshit in there. You'll blend right in.
We happened upon Ebisu for lunch one day because the sushi place across the street was packed and we were in a rush. We were a bit hesitant to eat there because of the B rating but like I said, we were in a rush.
The first warning sign was that it was peak lunch hour and there was barely anyone in the restaurant.
We ordered and the food was very ok service was alright. My sushi was not good at all. I actually wasn't going to say anything but the woman grabbed my plate and asked me what was wrong. I told her that the albacore was horrible the worst I had ever had and she insisted on bringing me more. I asked her please not to that I wouldn't eat it. She told me that she wouldn't be able to take it off my bill and I told her that was fine that I didn't plan on ever eating there again. She ran off and came back and said she could take it off but I had to promise her that I would come back and not order the albacore again. What a strange request. I told her no that was the only thing I liked and I would not be dining here again.
Very strange experience indeed.
For good sushi Hama Sushi is right across the street it is delicious!
PROS:
- no wait! haha
CONS:
- pushy service
- food is not good!
Came here for breakfast/lunch this weekend. I saw oden on their menu and I just had to try it =d! When my bf and I walked in, we were greeted by a cute little old man, whom we thought was a cute little old woman o.o;; His voice! Just meet him and you'll see what I mean =P
oden: not bad, but not as good as the one I had at that festival =d
sushi: very very good =d Tiny rice balls with giant pieces of fish on top. Had no problem with freshness here like the other peeps.
fried pork belly cutlets: sooooooooo good!!! Oh my gosh!!! So bad for you but...it was just so good =d I'm drooling as I'm writing this.
chirashi: amazing amount of fish they they give you for $14! But my bf prefers the one from Komasa (expected =P)
veggie tempura: green beans not as good as Oomasa but the rest were good =d
complimentary salad: this was REALLY good. If I wasn't so full at the end of the meal, I would've finished my bf's portion =d
All of this food was cheaper than our dinner the night before at Oomasa by at least $5 Must try the peppers next time =)
Also, I liked the fact that they leave a ...jug?... of water (WITH ice) at the table =) He knew we drank as much as we ate ;P
Yay: open late
Boo: average food
Strange: It's super quiet inside. Almost to the point of being uncomfortable.
