I was surprised that this place was so terrible even though it had 4 stars on yelp. I'm guessing the other reviewers have never been to a real izakaya. The food here was honestly pretty bad. Negima is standard izakaya food. Grilled chicken and scallions. The chicken was rock hard and not very flavorful. The scallions were over cooked and dried. If you can't serve a decent negima, you shouldn't call yourself an izakaya.
The rest of the food we ordered was just as disappointing. Ramen, hamachi kama, and sushi rolls were all mediocre at best. The waitress was not friendly at all, almost to the point of coming off as rude. The only redeeming aspect of this restaurant is their cheap beer. But I can drink beer at home and microwave better food than this place serves. I live within a 5 min walk to this place and I will never be back.
