Izakaya is "Stay-Drink-Place" in Japanese.

Dimly lit izakayas — with the buzzing energy of a day's work well done, where new and old connections are strengthened-- line street corners in Japan. The faint scent of smoke from the yakitori charcoal grill along with the chatter and laughter of friends and family, fills the air. Their abundance of alcohol and simple, classic cuisine, makes izakayas the perfect place to enjoy an easy, and special meal.

Izakaya Osen transports and elevates the authentic tastes and flavors of Japan to Silver Lake and Irvine, offering the finest Japanese sakes with the freshest seafood available. We provide premium sushi and sashimi, raw bar, and Japanese fusion dishes that are new, unique, and innovative to the culinary landscape of Southern California. So please, come. Stay a while. And drink in our "Stay-Drink-Place"— Izakaya Osen.
