    Arcadia has brilliant Asian gastronomy and night life -- I'm not a karaoke connoisseur myself, but I do love to sing and hang out with friends, especially when yummy food and liveliness are in the mix ! I found Moxie Izakaya on Instagram and had to check it out. We entered into this arcade-like setting with small claw machines, a cotton candy maker, darts, an open bar, a dining area with televisions and an open karaoke mix, and a separate hall for reserved karaoke rooms! The karaoke rooms are set up intimately with two tables, black leather couches, projected screens with a karaoke device, speakers, and a little disco ball at the top. If you're wondering about food, there are a TON of incredible options choose from ! What we ordered: Mango Yogurt Soju Cocktail Unagi and Cucumber Roll Shrimp Tempura Roll Seared Salmon Sashimi with Truffle Ponzu Sauce Kimchi Fried Rice Baked Green Mussels Takoyaki Grilled Skewers: Quail Egg, Beef Hanger Steak, Kurobata Pork Sausage, Chicken Meatball, Beef Tongue, Fish Tofu, Shrimp, Truffle Pork Belly Miso Soup We were treated so wonderfully by the entire staff and service !! You need to check out their night life amenities, happy hour deals at the bar, karaoke lounge rooms, and of course, their extensive izakaya menu -- their skewers are our favorite menu items but we loved their appetizers and kimchi fried rice too !!

    Server was pleasant and accommodating. Place is beautiful with private rooms for karaoke with friends. But I only came for dinner. Food was good as I expected. I would definitely go back with company.

    Came for happy hour from 3-7 its $30/person but you can use it towards food or drinks. Food wise i love the skewers and the potato croquette. The room with the mic stand is fun. Also note that last call is 530 and they wont remind you if they are busy so make sure to put in your order before then. They do let you know ahead of time. For the end, they give you the bill and the music will cut off at 7 so you know. when to stop. My friends and i had a good time. We will be back. Theres alot of parking as well.

    Our spread!

    Great times and awesome food here at Moxie Izakaya! Skewers (yakitori), sushi, ramen and udon and appetizers available to order. Food was good quality's I would say yakitori was our fave. They have a lot of rooms available- prices per room vary on party size! We booked the small room 7 which was good for maybe 6 people. My little one loved singing all her fave Taylor' swift songs- and they have all the songs available! If you can find it in YT- they have it there! Lastly , service is amazing and the place is clean and even disposable mic covers were provided!

    Beer tower $38.5

    I didn't know what to expect, but this place ended up being one of my favorite karaoke experiences!! Modern, clean rooms and restrooms, and reasonable cost. RATE: $48 per hour + $10 per person order minimum on a Sunday. 7 people were able to fit in a room, a big snug, but comfortable. PRE-KARAOKE: Was able to make a reservation an hour ahead for 10:30pm, which was their only availability. We got there a bit early, and was able to place food/drink orders (2 beer towers were easily sufficient for our order minimum) and play darts (included until payment of the room). There's also a bunch of mini claw machines which were entertaining. KARAOKE: Big screen to pick music in the corner of the small room (only wish there was a mobile ipad to use); getting up to pick music was kind of inconvenient. There's an app that supposedly connects to the room to pick songs that didn't work. Love that there's no grading at the end of the song that's common at old school karaoke joints and that they provide microphone disposable covers (and a tambourine!) FOOD: overall mid, but it does the job lol - Truffle French Fries $8.5: flavorful, but served room temp, if not cold lol. Soft, cold, french fries are not it. - Chicken Karaage $12.5: not memorable - Grilled Organic Chicken Gizzard $9.75: tasty! - Grilled Chicken Skin $9 : soy saucey, and crispy - Beer Tower (Terra/Asahi) $38.5 - Jinro Soju $18.5 There's an added 18% service charge, for a total of $309 for 7 ppl. Spacious parking lot. Would def come back and everyone had a good time.

    Located in Arcadia in a plaza in the upstairs are where I believe Burlington used to be ... plenty of parking ! Nice little karaoke spot , room was cool and food was okay , the crunchy roll kind of threw me off but it wasn't bad ! Reasonably priced , everything was clean ! The staff was nice ! Basically was able to find any song we wanted to sing and we had a group with diverse music taste ! Def want to come here again !

    This is one of the best karoake spots in the 626 sgv area. I had the happy hour special from 6-8 for about 30 a person which included a 30 dollar food credit per person so we had 120 dollars for food for 4 people which was close to enough to keep us all full. I was pretty shocked at how good the food was but a little sad that the sushi was all crossed off. Im not sure if it was just not available for our special our not available during the time i went. The karaoke machine works as expected with nice volume control and really comfortable seating. The service is great, they bring everything to you and theres a bell to call them in. I do definitely recommend checking online for the room pricing and specials available cause it can be pretty pricy. They also had a service fee of 18.5.

    Can't believe I found such a fun and delicious spot in L.A.!!! Moxie Karaoke is not your standard karaoke spot. They serve all your favorite Japanese dishes -- from yakitori to noodle, sushi, and fried bites -- all prepared beautifully. My top pick has to be the sea urchin cream udon with shrimp. So creamy and fulfilling! Also freshly grilled yakiyori And the best part? Their all-inclusive happy hour deal. Yes, all inclusive!!!!For $30 per person, you can enjoy a big karaoke room with friends (and kids!) plus complimentary food. IG: socalhkfoodies

    This is a nice place if you have a group of people but remember to check and ask for the pricing and get that quoted up front we were added 18% gratuity maybe they have changed their system of disclosing exact cost since we've been there so that is good if they made the change they have a neat Q song QR code so all the people can just scan and enter the songs they want from their phone that is a pretty cool feature that I haven't seen in other places before the food is finger food and it tastes okay they are open late so this is a good hangout spot

    I came here on Halloween night with a group of 11, and we had an amazing time! Since we were a larger group, we booked a private room at $88 per hour. We reserved it for a two-hour time slot but ended up staying for an extra hour. Because it was Halloween, there was an additional $10 per person charge, but that amount could be applied to drinks or food. Since we'd already had dinner before arriving, we focused on ordering a variety of drinks to enjoy while we sang the night away. The staff was super friendly, and the service was spot-on. While I did think it was a bit on the pricier side, after checking out reviews of other karaoke spots in the area, I'd say this place is definitely worth it--especially if you're in town and love karaoke! There's plenty of parking, so you don't have to stress about finding a spot.

    Amazing first time at Moxie with longtime friends. We sung all our childhood favorites! Love the private karaoke rooms, felt like I was in Japan. The soundproofing is pretty well done. Staff are chill too. We had beverages but did not order food. Included a receipt for price!

    I had a great time at Moxie - I came for a quick bite. I ordered all 3 sashimi options and my favorite was the salmon. The sashimi was a little thicker than I expected. My favorite item was the spicy tuna on crispy toast - I wish I had ordered another one! The rainbow roll was delicious. I would've liked to try their other rolls instead of the skewers I ordered. I loved the cotton candy machine - I've never seen anything like it before. The service was great - they were really kind and helpful. The inside was nice and cool, I sat in the restaurant side since I didn't do karaoke. I liked the large tvs in that room. They also have darts and cute little games.

    If you're looking for an unforgettable night out in LA, this is it. The space is stylish, the energy is contagious, and the food is great. I tried the uni pasta (creamy and rich), yakitori skewers, fresh sushi rolls, and paired everything with sake. Every dish had that perfect balance of flavor and freshness that keeps you craving more. What I loved most was how fun and welcoming the vibe is. You can come for dinner and end up staying way longer because the atmosphere just pulls you in. Whether you're celebrating something special or just want a night full of laughter and amazing food, Moxie Izakaya hits the mark. Highly recommend making a reservation. This is the spot you'll want to come back to again and again.

We ordered the Assorted Sashimi, Beef Tongue, Salmon and Ikura Rice, and Hojicha Panna Cotta. Our total came out to around $158 for three people. The sashimi was fresh, with the Japanese Mackerel and Scallop being my favorites. The Beef Tongue was good, and the Salmon and Ikura Rice was solid and tasted pretty much as expected. The Hojicha Panna Cotta, though, was amazing and easily the most memorable item of the meal. It was also a lot of food for three people, and we probably could have ordered one less dish. The service and atmosphere were the biggest highlights for me. The staff was immediately welcoming and helpful in explaining the menu and popular items. The owner/chef was also very lighthearted and friendly, and the whole restaurant had a communal, neighborhood feel. Even around closing, everyone seemed relaxed and was enjoying their time together. Overall, the food was good, but I did find it expensive for what we ordered. I'd still come back for the atmosphere, service, and Hojicha Panna Cotta, but I'd be more mindful of how much I order next time.

Sushi Deluxe Set: I personally prefer the 10 piece over the 12 piece. The additional two pieces are uni and ikura, and for me they aren't really worth the extra $10.

The closest sushi spot I'd compare it to is Sushi Kisen (for sushi deluxe set not Omakase), and I'd say they're pretty on par in terms of quality. Omakase: Since there aren't many places offering omakase in the immediate area, this is a great option if you want to treat someone for a special occasion without having to venture far. I really liked the diversity of the menu and that the experience wasn't limited to just nigiri. Overall, a really solid neighborhood sushi spot that I've enjoyed enough to keep coming back considering if you don't want to drive far into LA for omakase.

I'm excited to try their Iunch specials next time where they have discounted blue crab uni and salmon uni ikura bowls! Thanks for a delicious and great experience :) we'll be back soon!

The restaurant has a very cute, homey feel and the service was great. They were kind and very helpful. I ordered there and didn't have to wait long for my rolls to be ready. There's a small parking lot for the restaurant if needed! Family run business worth supporting in the Alhambra area! (:

What a pleasant surprise on a hot summer evening to discover this friendly, unpretentious neighborhood restaurant. We shared the miso eggplant, yellowtail kama (collar), and The salmon salad. The miso eggplant was delicious if slightly too sweet. The eggplant was charred beautifully and it had a delightful creamy texture. The yellowtail collar was perfectly cooked. The fish was tender and the skin was beautifully crisp. It was served with a slightly tangy dipping sauce, which provided needed acidity. The salmon salad was good, but the greens were slightly wilted. The sashimi salmon itself was buttery and lovely. The avocado on top of the salad was beautifully sliced and perfectly ripe. They have their own parking lot so parking is easy. Service was friendly and efficient. Will definitely be coming back.

For over three decades, this restaurant has been run entirely by a husband-and-wife team whose incredible hard work and sacrifice funded an Olympic dream for their daughter, Mirai Nagasu. Today, they are still here, side-by-side, serving high-quality, authentic Japanese food at prices you simply cannot find anywhere else in the Los Angeles area. When we call this a hidden gem, we mean it in the truest sense: this is a place where dedication and hard work make every single bite an experience of gratitude. The food is wonderful, but the blessing is getting to support two people who have spent their lives feeding this community. Managing Expectations: Go into this experience knowing exactly what to expect. This isn't a trendy, modern spot for a flashy date night. It is a humble storefront with a charming, nostalgic 90s aesthetic, 10 tables, and 80s music playing in the background. It is perfect for families, regulars, or anyone who values soul over pretense. Because there is absolutely no additional staff--only the two of them handling hosting, waiting tables, rolling sushi, and washing dishes--you must be patient. Your food will take time, and that is part of the charm. These owners won't be running this restaurant forever. Let's give back to those who have blessed us for 35 years. Go for the incredible food, stay for the history, and leave a generous tip for a beautiful couple who truly deserves it.

    A friend recommended me this spot as it's near his place. Needless to say, it's what you expect…read more Really pleasant quaint vibe, affordable price point, and service is fine. I had the $16 teriyaki salmon + sashimi combo, which was a great light dinner for me. If you're looking for somewhere quaint and home-y, this is the place for you
