An exceptional spot to indulge in diverse Asian cuisine offerings. The menu boasts an extensive array of delectable options, with their salads and fried rice standing out as absolute must-tries. The ambiance exudes a delightful charm, providing the perfect setting to unwind and savor fantastic food with your loved ones.
The waitress was inattentive and, by the end of my dining experience, transitioned to rude. I ordered three different items. The miso soup, salmon negimaki, and a kani crab roll. The only decent item was the roll. The soup first came out cold, and the salmon was incredibly oily, and tasted like they just poured sesame oil on it. This was an extremely terrible dining experience, especially since I had been there previously a few times, and it was positive. It had been a while ago, and it seems to have gone downhill.

The place was too dark to see where you were walking and the menus. The waiter was not very helpful when we asked questions about the menu. I ordered chicken on the stick and egg plant. None of the food came out together ( some of our group had sushi, I had hot food) My chicken was literally one bite and my eggplant was two small pieces. The waiter should have been clear that it wouldn't be enough food for a meal. There was only one choice for dessert and no one said it was big enough for the whole table because there was no dessert menu. The waiter screwed up our orders. Waited forever for drinks and he wasnt really engaged in serving us because he didnt even finish taking our order before he turned away. I wont be going back. Disappointing to say the least.

Sharing is not recommended. Portions are small if you buy the a la carte. When they said skew they should have said tooth pick. My duck was the size of a postage stamp. Entrees are slightly larger. Best value short ribs and fried rice. All in all the experience and atmosphere was beautiful. Taste was delicious but left you wanting more.

Truly amazing restaurant and experience for my wife and I. It was our second time eating here and I didn't realize or remember how much we loved it. One of our favorite places to eat. The service was impeccable and the prices are incredible. There are so many menu options. It's small plate style and order as you want until you are full. Hot and cold appetizers, Japanese BBQ skewers, entrees, sides, sushi and dessert. Nice wine options and good prices. You won't be disappointed.

My first visit to Izakaya was phenomenal! Our waiter was Paul and he was super!! We were seated in a beautiful spot on a comfortable couch across from the wine room by the entrance. It was dark and had a zen like feeling although I still felt like I was in the middle of all the action. We ordered a bunch of all different small plates in order to hit the popular highlights of this restaurant. Sushi was good but the noodles from the Monday menu was both our top favorite. Bbq was excellent. Salmon was incredible, Korean BBQ rib was beyond great, Kani salad was wonderful. We packed up food cause I ordered too much but wanted to try everything. I would've gotten the tasting menu but my boyfriend didn't want to eat all the food on it. The sushi dessert was also excellent. We WILL be back soon! This is my new favorite restaurant in AC! Thanks to Paul our waiter for making it a great experience!!
We were pleasantly Surprised! The atmosphere is fun and relaxing at the same time~ the staff was great and the food is amazing.. we tasted a lot, from the skewers to Sushi rolls everything was delicious. My personal favorites were the grilled octopus, the Maui taco sliders and the duck scrapple bun. And not to forget the Dessert - it’s an ice Cream rice crispy Roll. Absolutely delicious- I highly suggest checking this spot out soon

Amazing experience! We had our 1 year wedding anniversary here this past weekend, and I can't say enough good things about this restaurant and the service. We had Kelly as our server, and she was outstanding. We will definitely be back!Dietary restrictions: I have a citrus allergy and they were more than accommodating.

Jim is absolutely fabulous waiter, the bar back Jose was wonderful, the food was amazing, the atmosphere is so zen and quiet. Jim overheard us cheering over our 2 year wedding anniversary and made sure we were celebrating with chocolate cake. This restaurant is amazing. The food is magnificent. Cocktails are 5 stars. Our favorite place to dine?

My partner and I were initially skeptical about dining with Izakaya because we have been loyal to other sushi/Japanese spots in the AC/ uptown area however, we are so glad that we dined with Izakaya because what we experienced was other worldly. Our server, Sal, was not only knowledgeable about the menu but he was friendly, poised, and humorous. Jeff- the busser- accompanied Sal and as a team, they provided an unforgettable experience. The dishes under the $95 chefs testing course were decadent, unique, and comforting. My palate was fully exercised with these dishes and I am not only stuffed but satisfied. I will hopefully be dining back soon. Sal recommended us the perfect drinks to accompany the dishes and to say the least my expectations were exceeded. I can’t wait to return to izakaya.

The worst foods I’ve ever had in my life. Yakitori are very dry, overcooked and burn. Not enough sauce. Sushi is not authentic and definitively not prepared by Japanese chef. Wagyu Fried rice are dried like undercooked rice. Fried chicken are cold and not crunchy at all. The chicken size is like your palm but won’t give you a knife. Rolls are like take sushi rolls you get in grocery store.
