    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

    Catered to our group of 9 really well! We pre-ordered our meals and they came out not long after we arrived. The staff were all very kind. The food was great! Not super authentic but still delicious. The teriyaki baramundi teishoku was soo good, and the teishoku portion was very filling
