| - Haven't been here in a while since they renovated. I love the expanded version of izakaya ju, don't need to feel crammed anymore, and a lot more spacious and room for people to stand in the front and wait for a table.
Their menu has changed, they have a special menu with higher end items like Toro, uni, salmon roe, most were 30+.
Since I haven't been here for a while, decided to try some of their popular items.
We got the Osaka fried rice. It was like a rice version of takoyaki. It was really good with all the sauce, pickled ginger, octopus pieces.
We tried the yakitori combo with 5 skewers. All were really yummy and nice aroma of charcoal BBQ. In the combo we got a skewer of chicken tail. Very interesting and fatty. It's very small pieces like chicken hearts.
Tried a cold started of yakko (cold tofu). Pretty good and smooth. Onions and ginger adds a nice touch, and you add your own soya sauce.
Got the friend chicken soft bone, this was freshly made, and very hot inside when we got it. Add a squeeze of lemon, and it has a nice refreshing taste with texture of crunchy and softness (from the batter).
Lastly we tried the roasted green tea pudding. It was a pretty big portion good for sharing. It didn't have a strong green tea flavour, and more grey in colour. It wasn't bad, but I couldn't locate the roasted green tea taste.
The service here is good and attentive. Can't wait to come back and try other items on the menu!!
