Tsubaki - Echo Park

I've been wanting to try this place and I finally got to try last week. Our server told us the owner is Japanese American. He arranged his mom's recipe. Everything was small portion and overpriced, but they were delicious. I'd recommend to eat before you come here like we did. All the food was total $60 and you still be hungry.

Suiyoubi no neko belgian white ale (wednesday's cat) $10
It's good beer.. still,they charge $10 for a can of beer..?

Nasu nibitashi $8
Japanese eggplant / myoga / grated daikon

Buta kakuni $18
hatcho miso braised pork belly / kabocha / komatsuna / hot mustard

Tsukune $10

Grilled chicken meatballs / yuzu / poached egg / shichimi

Hojicha parfait $10

Hojicha ice cream / coffee jelly / corn flakes

Disappointed. Ice cream was too sweet and didn't have strong hojicha flavor. I wish there were more than just coffee jelly, ice cream and corn flakes. They could add some fruits, or other garnish. If you want Hojicha ice cream, definitely try Midori matcha.
