Izakaya Kou
Izakaya Kou in Japantown serves reasonably priced sushi and has private rooms available for parties.
Daeho is small and gets packed quickly once it opens at 5pm, but you can add your name to the waitlist online and go grab a drink somewhere close by while you wait. The communal tables here all seat around six people, so unless you love sitting next to strangers, you should come with a group. The cauldrons of beef soup are large enough for three to four people, and we like the braised short rib one with cheese on top that’s more meat than broth.
