  • As sad as I was to see Village Pizza go, I couldn't imagine that what would replace it would be 100 times better than drunken slices of Cheese & Pepperoni at 2am. Now, truth be told, no Pizza is bad Pizza at 2am, but what an awesome an necessary addition to the Shadyside neighborhood Tan Izakaya is! Tan Izakaya is a small, but attractive Sushi/Ramen/Japanese fare restaurant, and the newest creation from Pittsburgh restauranteur Michael Chen. Chen is the same culinary genius that has brought to us the China Palace empire, as well as the now-defunct Tamari, and the popular Everyday Noodles in Squirrel Hill. When I heard Chen was behind the new endeavor, I knew that it wouldn't disappoint. Chen has a knack for producing a great product, with the right portion sizes for the right price. Tan Izakaya offers everything from your standard sushi offerings, creative rolls, and the like. Anyone who remembers Tamari knows how great their sushi was, and the best way I can describe this place is that whoever was making the rolls at Tamari, is probably the exact guy making them here, because not only is the presentation excellent, but the quality is unmatched. And since the ownership is the same, I would have to assume there was some employee crossover after Tamari closed. In paying homage to Tamari, and what really stood out to me from the menu were the Yakatori. If you are unfamiliar with Yakatori, but as I figured out quickly, think of the Robata skewers from Tamari. These are skewers in which you get 3-5 pieces of Meat/Vegatable/Seafood, grilled to perfection on a wooden stick. For 2 dollars each, what an easy way to try many different offerings. I recommend the Beef and Asparagus, the Lamb was phenomenal, and my favorite from Tamari were the bacon-wrapped Quail eggs. All come presented with a tereyaki (spelling?) glaze and are a great way to begin a meal. In summary, if you liked and miss Tamari, have no fear. Chen took the best parts of that restaurant, shortened the menu, hired the same high-quality chefs, and opened its doors for you in Shadyside. Full Bar with excellent beers on tap. Multiple HD tv's with good sight-lines for watching whatever event may be on. Has a sliding garage-style door that opens to the street for outdoor-esque seating.
