Hakata Izakaya Hero@Westwood ★★★

Authentic Japanese Izakaya. Everything was good. Ankimo is a bit pricier than usual, but it's really good. Motsu Nabe (Intestine Hot Pot) is better than Hachi Torrance. Less chewy. Would like to try their Lemon Ramen next time. Green tea $3.50. Reservation highly recommended, but they allow walk-ins towards the end of the night. Walked in at 8:30pm on a Friday night. Free street parking or metered parking around the block.
