Really cute and cozy Japanese izakaya. Food was all tasty and authentic. Ordered the negitoro roll, chicken nanban, salmon ochazuke, and the salmon sashimi bento. Fish tasted high quality and chicken was juicy. The California roll was also surprisingly good, I'll definitely be back to try more of the dishes.

One of the best and freshest sushi I've ever had in the bay! Ordered:- Tempura Appetizer (Not pictured)- Beef Tongue Shio- Rainbow Roll- Toro NigiriEverything here is soo good. Tempura was crispy, hot and perfect amount of breading. Tempura sauce was also the perfect amount of flavor to it. Beef tongue was great too - tender and wasn't overly seasoned. Toro just melts in your mouth!Sooo sad it was gone in just one bite. Plus fish on the rainbow roll was so fresh and soft, quality reminded me of the ones you can find in Japan and Hawaii. Food is expensive but worth the price! The restaurant itself is very small so wait times can be high, but apparently they take reservations over the phone. Despite that, we waited around 30 minutes for a Friday night.

Oh this place, is pretty close to feeling like an Izakaya back in Tokyo. Small cramped and the food is great. There isn't a dish here that I don't like, but what is even better is they have some really memorable dishes. Their ramen salad is great. the textures and taste just is spot on. Sitting at the bar watching the sushi chef go to work is always fun for me. The selection is amazing. There is a lot of items that I wouldn't get at other places. This is a must visit if an Izakaya experience is what you're looking for.

This place is legit bc I heard the employees speaking Japanese. I ordered the sushi bento box, and it was fantastic! It came with fresh sushi, perfectly crispy tempura, flavorful miso soup, and a refreshing salad. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented.

I wish I could eat here everyday. I've been coming to Izaka-ya for a few years now and have put my close friends on this place. We're obsessed with the food and quality that's served here. The restaurant is located besides House of Genji in this small strip of restaurants. The parking lot is next to the building and can get really busy in the evenings, especially weekends. Inside is cozy and compact; very much izakaya vibes. The service is always so quick and you get to watch the sushi chefs at the bar. Food:- Sushi: Always fresh and handled with care. It's simple and just right. My go-to is sushi boat B if there's two or more people with me, but honestly I'd eat it all if I could. You get a variety of different nigiri, rolls, maki, and sashimi. They do California rolls like no other. It melts in your mouth and there's no strong cream cheese taste. 10/10-Takoyaki: Also my go-to order each time. Crunchy exterior with a soft and extremely hot interior. You know it's good when you burn your tongue and it's not too mushy inside. Good amount of umami flavor with octopus bits. 10/10- Beef tongue shio: Another staple in my order. Juicy, tender, perfectly grilled, and flavorful. 10/10- Kitsune udon (not pictured): A soup you must get on a chilly day. The udon is bouncy and at a right level of chewiness. The dashi broth is flavorful with umami that's soaked into the fried tofu pouch. 10/10- Fried Calamari: Crunchy batter and the calamari isn't chewy like rubber. Nicely seasoned and pairs well with the tartar/mayo sauce. 8/10- Skewers: Asparagus bacon (8/10), enoki bacon (9/10), scallops and asparagus (7/10) too saucy for me- Okonomiyaki (not pictured): Very large portion which got soggy fast and the batter was a lot as well. 6/10- Uni oyster shots (not pictured): Very interesting texture (a bit slimy from oyster) paired with soy sauce. 6/10- Takowasa (not pictured): The umami and wasabi pairs well together, but has a very strong kick. The green onions balance it out. 7/10- Deep fried soft shelled crab (not pictured): Similar batter to calamari. The crab was extremely soft and had a bit of sweetness. 8/10Psa: It's a small restaurant so reservations will save you soooo much time. There's always a line to the door.

Cozy little izakaya that satisfies the cravings for just about anything! The restaurant is quite tight, so come with a small party (4 people or less). The menu has a ton of dishes to try. The takoyaki and California roll from a combo were my faves. Fish quality didn't taste that fresh for the nigiri, might've been an off day. I'll be back to try other dishes and give the sushi another go! NEGI MAYO TAKOYAKI: 5/5 ($8)+ MUST try! So crispy and satisfying but still pillowy soft on the inside. Not soggy at all even with the sauces + Good amount of octopus with each biteSEAFOOD TEMPURA: 4.25/5 ($18)+ Batter is airy, and the dipping sauce was good! + 5pcs of seafood were delicious! It included scallop, fish, squid, and shrimp - we loved all of it+ 5pcs of veggies were a mixed bag, with broccoli, bell pepper, carrot, asparagus, and squashSY COMBO: 3.5/5 ($30)+ Good bang for your buck as it comes with 3pcs of salmon nigiri, 3pcs of yellowtail nigiri and 6pcs of the roll+ California roll was amazing (this was a 5/5 alone). MUST try if you order it separately. The crab was so flavorful with the buttery avocado+ The salmon and yellowtail nigiri were alright. Fish didn't taste that fresh but wasn't fishy tastingSPICY SCALLOP ROLL: 3/5 ($9)+ Scallop quality tasted great! I'd get this non-spicy though because it didn't taste like spicy mayo but sriracha instead

What a cool little hidden gem! Seriously, if you did not know where you were going, you'd think you were lost. It's in the same building as House of Genji, just go to the left when you walk in. The fact that they close at 11 is a big bonus!!! I arrived late and after checking into my hotel, and running a few errands, it was 10 pm.Friendly greeting, I was given a seat at the sushi bar. I didn't want to eat heavy, though I could've because whatever was cooking when I sat down smelled sooooo good! I ordered an eel roll and a trio of sashimi: salmon, ahi, and I think hamachi...whatever it was, it was soooooo melt in your mouth tender! Everything was delicious and hit the spot! I also had a Sapporo draft.The staff is really friendly! I wasn't hurried, I felt I could've kept ordering but it was late and I just needed something to take off the hunger edge. Great place to come to! Not sure about the parking lot, so I parked on the street.

You might get lost if you've never been to this area, but this shop is in the same entryway as House of Genji. Just enter the doors and it should be the shop to your left with a cramped hallway. There is also a parking lot just a few steps from the strip. Very very fresh ingredients!! The dishes are made on the spot, at the bar and it's such a delight. My mom and I came in on a Friday night around 9pm, but we called ahead and were told it would be a 30 minute wait - which turned out to be perfect because that was just about our commute, and by the time we got there, we were now first on the very long waitlist. Beat the line and call ahead if you're in the area! Our favorite dishes were the oyster shots ($5 each, must get) and nigiri pieces (sake and eel, each serving comes with 2 nigiri). Clams and skewers (skewers come as 1 each) were also great, as well as the mackerel. We picked a variety of dishes and they were all good - I might skip out on the soft-shell crab next time though, it was just a bit small for our preference. This is definitely a hole in the wall shop (albeit popular!), with quality ingredients and an extensive menu.

We came in for a late night dinner around 9pm on a Thursday, walked in for a party of 5 and got sat right away. The restaurant was pretty full but mid you it is a small restaurant so they can only accommodate so many people at a time. We got a sushi boat along with a few al a carte items. The quality and freshness were overall good. For the price it was good quality. May not be my go to for fresh omakase or high quality sashimi but is a quality option for late night sushi.

My favorite hole in the wall Japanese izakaya! The authenticity is really there, I always feel like I'm back in Japan whenever I go to this place. From their extensive menu to the fresh, good quality ingredients for the price, you can't find any other than this one right here. You know the Japanese food is always going to be good when it's ran and owned by a Japanese family.I highly recommend getting their sushi boats if you're feeling adventurous and can't decide on what kind of sushi you want. For fried stuff, I really love their Nagoya fried chicken. It's perfectly seasoned and crispy with a slight soy sauce and zesty hint to it.For the perfect little treat at the end, you have to get their fried dorayaki (Japanese red bean filling pancake). It's like a deconstructed parfait. I highly advise you to come early because this place fills up really quickly.
