Dan Izakaya Restaurant is a Japanese eatery that offers a variety of dishes such as sashimi, grilled saba, salmon teriyaki, and salmon meshi. The restaurant is known for its well-cooked and flavorful food, with fresh and high-quality sashimi. The portions are generous, and the service is friendly. However, there are some areas for improvement. The restaurant no longer accepts reservations and only accepts walk-ins, which can lead to waiting times. The menu lacks options for customers with dietary restrictions, as they do not offer substitutions for their bentos.
The restaurant's ambiance is typical of a Japanese izakaya, but seating can be tight. Parking is not a problem, as there is a private lot outside the restaurant.
Before the COVID-19 pandemic, Dan Izakaya Restaurant was a favorite among locals for its chawanmushi, grilled skewers, and clam ramen. However, after reopening post-pandemic, the menu has been limited, and some of the favorite dishes are no longer available. The dishes that are on the menu have been disappointing, with issues such as overcooking and dry rice.
Overall, Dan Izakaya Restaurant offers a decent dining experience with some areas for improvement. It may be a good option for those looking for Japanese cuisine, but there are other alternatives in the area that offer better food and service.
