Sola Japanese Izakaya Dining

Great food prepared perfectly by a caring staff. They're only open a few hours per day, so make sure you check before coming.

Super friendly service, delicious food, and a large selection of dishes. (They don't serve sushi)The pictures online don't do them justice. It's a small place but it makes it more intimate.

Had dinner here yesterday because I knew Miki will be away and the restaurant won't open again until Dec 2nd. Experience and food are amazing as always. I try different things on the menu but I always order their tofu and eggplant.

An intimate, authentic, and great casual Japanese dining spot! We were in love. The food here tasted delicious and it was perfect to share the plates as a group. We enjoyed the dim-lit and cozy atmosphere of the restaurant as we shared laughs.Cold soba noodles: Delicious and firm noodles, tasted great dipped in the sauce. The coolness gave a nice temperature change in our mouths from the other hot plates we orderedBeef tongue: Was told it was best if eaten right away, and we were surprised with the taste of the meat from our first bite. The grilled meat was super tasty, tender and squishy.Ribeye steak: Coated in warm barbeque sauce and cut with fatty pieces lined up in the plate. Was so delicious I could hardly eat more than 2 slices because of how full I had gotten.Fried Callamari: Coated and fried perfectly as the breading wasn't overwhelming and the taste of the thick cut squid was flavorful and great.Pork belly: Super delicious and had a nice crunch on one end while soft and juicy on the other end of each cutAll in all, this restaurant gave delicious, authentic-tasting Japanese food topped with amazing service from our server. We felt like even though it looked like there wasn't an overwhelmingly large portion of food on the plates, we would feel so full even with just eating 2 or 3 pieces of each plate. And we concluded that it's because each dish was full of SO much flavor!!Thank you to this place for giving us a nice meal and an amazing dining experience. We are hoping to come back here to go drinking at the bar area!To Note:- free underground parking!- exit from parking staircase/elevator is right across the restaurant

Awesome awesome food. Legit Japanese authentic.I mean... plus it's fire AF. Just look!!!!

My bf recommended this place since he tried it years ago and said it was very authentic and really good! So, we went out with my mom and aunt for dinner last night to check this place out! I picked them up right after work and completely forgot they opened at 6pm. We got there on the dot, no one else in the restaurant but us so it was very quiet.We sat wherever since the waitress let us and began to check out the menu. The owner (I believe) came to greet us and they also brought out waters all around. I already looked over the menu beforehand to prepare myself (and mainly to see if I'm interested at all) and we ended up ordering a ton of things!We started with some mixed dumplings which were SUPER hot and the owner laughed and asked if we had any questions. We didn't and just said it was good but piping hot and she told us she forgot to mention it was hot LOL. Funny! We also ordered some vegetable tempura which was honestly probably one of my faves. They were cooked so perfectly and had a great selection. I love the sweet potato the most and their dip was perfect.I ordered a Yaki Onigiri with Ground Miso Chicken filling since I've never had one and always wanted to try it. My bf got the regular onigiri with chicken as well. I actually preferred that one. Super soft but kept its composure and had the perfect saltiness. The grilled one was okay, still ate it but definitely liked the regular one more.I went for the curry udon as my main dish and it was soooo good!! The udon noodles were perfect! Not too soft and had the perfect chewiness. They also loaded it with a lot of curry and I wasn't able to finish all of it and had to take it home but I'll definitely be adding the delicious curry to rice and other things! I was even dipping my Yaki onigiri at one point!!My aunt got the salmon which filled her right up and my mom ordered the Karaage chicken with a side of rice and finished that as well. She loves Karaage and really enjoyed this one. They also gave the sauce on the side which I prefer so that you can dip however much you want.My bf ordered katsu curry which he loved as well. Lots of curry that night and it was great! They have such a unique menu with items you don't normally see in regular Japanese restaurants. Staff is super sweet and can't wait to come back to enjoy their food again! IG: @ammysalamii

When the weather gets a bit chilly, this is my go to for a nice hot pot of oden. It always hits the spot. It's so authentic & tastes like a bowl of home cooked meal. The owners are always very friendly.

Very friendly service and an interesting take on Japanese fare. Smaller potions encourage sharing many items so you can try almost everything on the menu. It's pricey though so take that under account.

How did I not know about this place?? Hole in the wall Izakaya style dining that has the best customer service. I loved the squid, curry ramen; and ofcourse the pickles. We ordered the SOLA salad not once but TWICE because it was so good. I also ordered the kurobata sausages twice because they were SO good. I will be back!

Decided to try this place out for the first time tonight, and the best thing we ordered was the tofu and eggplant. The ambiance inside was nice and so was the service. Personally I don't think the shabu shabu was worth $110, as it came with a just a few veggies and a couple slices of meat.
