| - I went to Izakaya Ju last night for dinner with the boyfriend. We got there at around 8pm and we had to wait approximately 15minutes. The place had an authentic Japanese feel to it, which was nice. I liked how they seated people who wanted to drink on one half of the restaurant the people who won't drink on the other half. It wasn't too loud and the restaurant was very clean. Now for the foooooood!
We ordered:
1) Heart Yakitori ($2.5)
My boyfriend is the type to try the weird and different things, so he wanted to get the heart. There were five hearts on a stick. I think the thought of eating heart was what was getting to me, but it honestly wasn't bad, I ended up eating two of them.
2) Wagyu Beef ($8)
It was a little chewy for being waygu beef, but it was still yummmmmy.
3) Teba Gyoza ($7.5)
Teba Gyoza are dumplings stuffed in chicken wings. My boyfriend was the most excited about this one. It's really cool thinking about how they stuffed the chicken wing with dumplings. It was good, but I guess we just had high expectations.
4) BBQ Pork Belly ($5)
I love pork belly, so I obviously loved this dishhh, more fatty pieces please ;D
5) Blue Fin Tuna Roll (Special - $8)
This was one of the dishes in the special menu. My boyfriend wanted to get this one. He said it was really good, the fish was fresh and prepared really nicely.
6) Spicy Salmon Roll ($7)
The spicy sauce was kinda weird for me. There was this certain ingredient that they put in and it had a weird taste to it. It wasn't too bad, where I didn't want to eat it at all, but it was different.
7) Osaka Cha-han ($8)
The osaka cha-han is an osaks style fried rice with octopus. There were green onions in this, so I had a difficult time eating it, but i really liked it. And I thought the dish was nicely presented. I liked taking pictures of this dish.
8) Green Tea Pudding ($6)
For dessert, I got the green tea pudding and it was amazing! This was the highlight of the night for me LOL but then again, I love desserts, so I'm a little biased ahaha but it had a strong matcha flavour, so if you don't like the taste of matcha (green tea), then I'd advise you not to get it. However, if you love green tea, then you must get this! I love pudding consistency, so this dessert was perfect for me.
Overall, I really enjoyed Izakaya Ju, but I think Guu is still better. That's just my opinion though. I would come back just for that green tea pudding tho
