I love Japanese breakfasts for their variety, fresh flavors, and healthiness, and this place seamlessly blends that with a wonderful Japanese/French twist. I’ll definitely have to come back and try their dinner sometime. The restaurant is relatively small. We arrived right when they opened and were seated immediately, but it filled up quickly afterward. The service, while friendly, felt a bit disorganized—three different staff members tried to bring us the bill while we were still waiting for dessert, likely due to how busy they were.

Was able to barely get a seat with walk in on a Saturday morning. I like their fish better than the pork, but the sides were all good. I enjoyed all the veggies.

Finally checked out Azay for brunch. Food was delicious and presentation was exactly as expected. Felt like we were back in Tokyo having breakfast at a hotel. Love the variety of dishes all seasoned delicately but still flavourful. The space is small to give the intimate feel. Definitely want to come back to try their dinner menu.

I really loved this place! Maybe my favorite in LA. I had some house barley tea, the matcha creme brulee and the chawanmushi. I went on a rainy Wednesday morning around 11:30am and there was no wait for a table. It got a lot more busy after that with small groups. I also know the owners and some of the servers participate in mutual aid work in the area, which makes it a business I would support. The best item is the creme brulee. I have dreams about it. it's that good lol

Authentic Japanese food, good choice for brunch. The business hours are a bit short, so you need look at the opening hours and plan your time before you go. The restaurant is relatively small, but the vibe in the restaurant is laid back.
