An izakaya (???) is a type of Japanese drinking establishment which also serves food to accompany the drinks. We are familiar with Japanese food, and we thought we would just give this a try and were pleased with the choice. The place is is loud and rowdy. Good place to socialize after work, modern Japanese pub. Not overpriced.
Started with a crispy shrimp appetizer, that turned out to be a bowl full - easily enough to be a meal for one person. Also had the beef with some vinegar sause, which was medium rare and excellent. For entrees, the Black cod and udon noodles came out luke-warm and went back for re-heating but was very tasty. Also had the oyster, which was very good.
This is not a quiet place. There were three birthday parties in the room.
