The food here was fantastic. The dishes came out hot and some well for Izakaya styled food. The menu was well placed. The service could be a bit more vocal or expressive as they were a bit shy mostly. So more enthusiasm and they would be perfect. I will be back there for

If you live in Richmond, you've probably heard the buzz about Manzo. Manzo Itamae on Capstan Way, the sister restaurant of Manzo.They serve fresh ingredients. The sushi and sashimi were nothing short of incredible. The izakaya dishes were a delightful journey into flavour town – they truly hit the spot! ?What impressed us beyond the fantastic food was their accommodation for our big party 10+. They know how to make special occasions truly special! The atmosphere was buzzing with celebratory vibes, making it the perfect spot to throw a party.If you're in Richmond and craving Japanese cuisine with a side of festive vibes, Manzo Itamae is the place to be.??Food: ???? Should Try!Service: ????????Kids: ???? Yay!Price: ???? $100-$150 for two (dinner)Presentation: ??Parking: ??Tips:? Offer an extensive drink menu, featuring high-end sake in large bottles.? Serve a variety of izakaya dishes, catering to different preferences.? Use of high-quality and fresh ingredients.Would I Return: Yes ?♀️

Ordered pick up and found out that one of the orders got missing. Called back and the guy who picked up the phone was like “oh I didn’t type in the item”. No apology no sorry and no compensation. But my money already got charged by online order platform and I need to spend time dealing with the platform refund myself. Kindly reminder plz improve your service and attitude before you charge for so expensive for food.

Good food, a little pricy for what you get, slow service at times even when restaurant was not
Over the years, I have had the privilege of dining in numerous Japanese restaurants. Manzo Itamae is one of only three Japanese restaurants that gave me the impression I have eaten truly superb Japanese cuisine prepared by accomplished chefs. The ambiance, while its weakest aspect, is eclipsed by the restaurant's overall excellence in every other respect.From the moment I savoured the Ebi Sunomono, I couldn't help but remark, "This is precisely how Ebi Sunomono should taste." Each dish we sampled was delicious. The service was marked by professionalism and warmth, adding to the overall dining experience.I wholeheartedly recommend Manzo Itamae to connoisseurs of Japanese cuisine and would not hesitate to introduce this establishment to friends who share my passion for the culinary artistry of Japan. Their dining experience is sure to be nothing short of impressive.

It’s been 5+ years since I’ve last visited. Used to come here to get drunk late night, so of course I wouldn’t remember the food and what it tasted like. Dropped by recently and honestly the food was good, and service was super kind and nice. Really liked the engawa sushi, and the uni crab roll. The bluefin tartar was melt in your mouth good. And the tako wasabi so crunchy and punchy. They kept coming to clean up the dishes and was super attentive all night, despite not spending much. The only down side is that this place is expensive. And in that price range and in Richmond, you have plenty to choose from like Kyabia a few blocks down.

I came to order food and they just didn't even let me go to the toilet and the person I asked was very rude and I felt bad for behaving like that.

Only the oysters was good. Sashimi cut so thick… the nigiri rice is bad. Foie gras overcooked…

This was one of my favourite go to Izakaya’s in Richmond for a while. Everyone knew Manzo and they even opened a second location because of their success. Ebi mayo was synonymous with them and they were great back then.I will admit I haven’t been here for a few years, but coming back it seems a lot of other izakaya’s have surpassed them, unfortunately.We may have caught them at a bad time, but we sat down around 8pm and ordered promptly since it was a late dinner for us and we were hungry. We didn’t get our first dish until close to 8:45pm. The table beside us sat down around 8:30pm and got their food at the same time as us. There was a large group being served so it’s probably just bad timing, but spreading out orders or letting your customers know could be helpful. After asking twice, we were finally told it’s on the way.We ordered 5 things but only 4 were keyed in so we decided to just leave it at that, didn’t want to risk waiting longer for food.The waitress that took over later and got our bill sensed we weren’t happy and comp’d ice cream for us, which was a nice touch.Like many reviews have said, it’s quite hit and miss for them. Unfortunately, we got served a miss.
