"Izikaya tasting menu is great. Amazing albacore sashimi and excellent Robata skewers.
Service was adequate but not beyond...
Took a long time to get all the food out...almost 3 hours for dinner"

"I was here about 2 years ago, this time I was so surprised, the place was kind of empty especially the bar (only about 5 people) 2 years ago, you couldnt even walk. By the that me left (12:15am) the place was almost empty? Couldnt believe it. Having said that, we had a bad server, she took forever on our order and wasnt attentive. The vallet was very expensive $20.00 (if your there over 3 hours)

I would come again and take less than 3 hours so that I dont pay too much on vallet. :/"

"Had to wait nearly half an hour for a table despite arriving on time. Food when it arrived was fair but pricey- industrial design theme seems to amplify the noise in what is already noisy restaurant. I won't be going back - better food can be had for less elsewhere..."

"Food, service and ambience was perfect. Couldn't sit outside because if the heavy rain but would have been a perfect ppl watching place. Went with a group of five and lived the cocktails, the skewers and sushi. Would definitely return."

"please please please go back to the way you made your sushi rice!!!!!!! This is really my favorite restaurant but last time we were there the Katana roll tasted different... Not exactly bad but my husband pointed out that it was the rice that was strange. After asking our waiter about it he said we were the first to pin point it and that in fact the receipe had been changed. Went from out of this world dinning to just so so, what a shame. Still lobe the grill but please consider changing sushi rice back to how it was."
