- KBKellyBNew York City •2 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoOne of the members of our party is vegetarian. This is the main reason we picked Izakaya for our double birthday dinner. I am not fond of sushi, but the avocado roll was delicious! And the dessert pudding was incredible! Highly Recommend!!More infoDAIKAYA 2F THE IZAKAYAPrice: Expensive• Japanese• Penn Quarter•4.4

- JJenniferVIPWashington, D.C. Area •6 reviews4.0Dined on May 9, 2025Food was good, server was good. But we left with a sour taste when the host approached my table an hour and twenty minutes after we sat down, and less than 5 minutes after we paid our check, to tell me that he needed me to vacate the table in the next 3 minutes because he had another reservation. There was no prominent warning about how long we had the table for. (I've never been anywhere that has a seating that lasts less than 1:30 in any event.) And we would have been done 20 minutes earlier had they not been so slow about serving us our dessert. Just made the whole experience less enjoyable.More infoTonariPrice: Expensive• Italian• Penn Quarter•4.4
