I've passed by Shibuya Izakaya several times and heard good things from friends so we decided to check it out for a late Sunday lunch/early dinner before we headed back home. It's located right beside Bubblemania Cafe.
The inside is pretty spacious with a couple TV's streaming baseball. We were seated in the booth areas to the side. Service is friendly and they checked up on us several times during our meal.
The regular menu is massive and is one of those menus with pictures of everything. Bento box lunch specials sound promising (only available 11:00am - 3:00pm). This is what you should be focusing on. Nigiri here is fresh and done well.
- Wasabi and ginger
- Seaweed salad ($4.50)
- Agedashi tofu ($5.75)
- Salmon isobe age ($8.50)
- Baby octopus ($8.75)
- Tonkotsu ramen ($12.50)
- Negi hamachi maki and unagi maki ($4.50 each)
- Tonkatsu pork cutlet udon ($13.50)
- Sake sockeye ($2.75 each)
- Hotategai nigiri ($2.25 each)
- Toro nigiri ($3.25 each)
Overall, we were pretty satisfied with our meal. Expect to pay a little more than normal as it's an izakaya but lots of variety to choose from. Stick with the nigiri and fried foods.
