A perfect lunch location for a business meeting, with a private and high-quality experience. Clients were so impressed that they have arranged to come back independently. Thanks for an amazing experience, Shoya. The service was attentive but not intrusive, and the seasonal nigiri and lunch sets were superb, which were served in a timely but not rushed manner. Vegetarian and gluten-free options available; I highly recommend the nigiri selection, the aburi scallop with yuzu is worth a return trip alone.

Amazing food. Amazing service. Amazing Vibes will definitely be back

The staff are so beautifully attentive and bring you the most amazing Japanese hospitality and food. This place is just around the corner from me and it’s now a permanent weekly hang. Great prices and so authentically Japanese. Well worth a visit.

Nicely presented and tasty food. Friendly staff and intimate vibe. Highly recommended.

We had a wonderful birthday dinner at Izakaya Chouchou. We chose the “Chef Feed Me” course, which delighted us with both its generous portions and exceptional flavors. The cuisine is a perfect fusion of Japanese and Western styles, offering a range of exciting and beautifully presented dishes. The sushi and sashimi platter was outstanding—fresh, vibrant, and artfully arranged. I especially loved the grilled eggplant, which had a beautifully crisp skin and soft, tender flesh. The dessert boat was both adorable and delicious, adding a playful and satisfying finish to the meal. Every course brought delightful surprises, making the entire dining experience truly joyful. The service was exceptional—the owner personally explained each dish with care and passion, helping us appreciate the thought and craft behind the food. A heartfelt touch was the birthday message for my son displayed on the wall, which made the evening feel even more special and warm. I highly recommend Izakaya Chouchou for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience filled with flavor, care, and hospitali
