Dinner has a huge selection of authentic Japanese izakaya dishes, most of which are as good or better than any izakaya in Japan. And very reasonably priced! For those who know what authentic Japanese food is and want it, this is the place to go!

For years, I've been coming to Echizen for its authentic Japanese fare and excellent service, which has always been consistent. Tucked in a small plaza across from Cypress College, this is one of my go-to spots for the izakaya and lunch menu. Although their lunch menu is limited, many good options exist, especially if you prefer a lighter lunch. The lunch specials start at $14 and are posted on their Instagram daily. @echizencypress. The dinner menu at Echizen is extensive, izakaya-style, with a variety of small plates, grilled fish, sashimi, and entrées. Compliment your meal with Japanese Spirits (sake, shochu), beer, wine, or soft drinks. Here are some of my favorites: • Zarusoba with tempura shrimp - a classic light dinner item • Nabeyaki udon - Udon in a clay pot is hot and satisfying • Onigiri (rice ball) - I always get the salmon, but they have other fillings as well • Fried soft-shell crab - always light, crispy, and delicious • Surume tsukeyaki (grilled dry squid) - firm texture, dipping sauce adds a nice additional flavor, great with beer or sake • Agedashi Tofu - 4 lightly fried tofu pieces with a flavorful sauce. • Fresh sashimi and grilled fish Seating is limited inside, with tables and counter options. Sometimes, there can be a wait, so please be courteous and enjoy your meals quickly when people are waiting. I'm happy to support this local establishment and can't wait to visit again!

Just an update for lunch specials! It's such a deal. For $14, you will definitely walk out feeling satisfied. This day, the lunch special included: zaru soba - cold buckwheat noodles veggie tempura small beef bowl - loaded with grilled onions, ginger, nori simmered kelp - so healthy for you! Rich in iron and other minerals! tsukemono - pickles Service is super nice and pretty quick. Lunchtime, usually, is crowded and requires a wait. But you never know! If you can, don't take your time. Be courteous so the next party can enjoy the meal too and for the restaurant is able to accommodate more and serve more customers. We love supporting our neighborhood businesses! We need them as much as they need us. Itadakimasu!
