This is among our favorite neighborhood restaurants, so nice and friendly, and the food is great. The soft shell crab small plate is fun to begin with. We also love the oysters. Then we love so many of the various sushi rolls, especially those with avocado. View all feedback.
What G doesn't like about The Izakaya:
The ramen name tonkatsu is not tonkatsu which is suppose to be a pork creme flavored broth and the service was alright but for them getting the order wrong is not acceptable to do a decent job View all feedback.

Waited too long for this review! My family and I really love coming here. The food is always fresh, and the service is always awesome! Such nice people. I especially love the vegetable tempura! Yum!
Got really excited when this place came up during a web search for another Izakaya. Convinced my partner to give it a try after reviewing other comments on line. The parking should have been a giveaway; trashy, unkept and not maintained, poor street appearance. We walked in and the interior didn’t look much better. Should have left then. But like a toothache, I wanted to try the food.The tempura was crudely chopped hunks of vegetables, greasy, and without flavor. The Hamachi Kama was large and looked okay but had a fishy smell to it and the presentation was lacking; some shredded cabbage and a small dollop of grated radish and an equal amount of dipping sauce and half a slice of lemon. Oy!The several pieces of nigiri looked okay, but we’re not spiced with any wasabi or sauce and the sushi rice was atrocious; it wasn’t even sushi rice but mealy, overcooked and flavorless plain rice that tasted awful. We asked the server if the Tamago was home made, in the restaurant. She assured us that it was. When she delivered it it was the industrial orange yellow, homogenized tamago, which we sent back. The staff was clearly not familiar with the menu and didn’t know their own dishes. Definitely not Japanese, and that included the ‘chef’.We spent over $120 on this meal. It thought me not to rely on general reviews, but trust my first instincts.Avoid at all cost.Parking: Not ADA compliant. Dirty weeds growing around the perimeter. Unkept.
