About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Innovative
  • Good for groups
Please be advised that the reservation is for the Izakaya on the second floor and not the ramen shop on the first floor. The ramen menu is not available at the Izakaya. The Izakaya, located on the second floor of Daikaya, is a casual restaurant that serves Japanese comfort food to accompany a diverse selection of bar offerings. The izakaya experience is perfect for after work, before a big night out, as a full supper, or for late-night bites with friends. The cuisine is freestyle and adaptive in nature. Each izakaya in Japan puts its own touch on its menu items. The plates are typically small so that one can sample many different items.

    One 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!!

    We came 5/17/2025. We thought the menu looked amazing but found the execution pretty mediocre. The only things I particularly enjoyed were the cucumber salad, caramel pudding, and yuzu lemonade. That is not enough for us to ever come back, especially as we paid around $40/pp before tip.

    The food and wait staff were excellent. I had a great time catching up with friends with great food and tall glasses of wine.

    The gyoza stole the show, but the steak and Shitame were so good as well!

    One of the most over priced and poor quality sushi places I’ve eaten. The pacing of the meal was atrocious. Ten to fifteen minutes between plates coming out. Our server did her best to accommodate us, but it didn’t out weigh the quality of the food and pacing coming out of the kitchen.

    Had a good experience. The drinks aren’t the best. But the food makes up for it.

    AC was too much. We had to dive either a jacket on and other people did the same. Quite annoying.

    The kitchen completely forgot an entire entree and it was so hard to get our waiters attention to ask about where it is. When we finally got her attention she was very kind about it and apologized and she also expedited it and comped it and gave us a discount which was very nice.

    Food was average and small portions. It was an effort to get soy sauce for our sushi and nigiri - amazing. The waiter continued to bring out small rations of soy sauce. My daughter had to wait 15 mins for wasabi. Something is off with this restaurant. I don't understand the high ratings. Constant requirement to ask for things because they are so cheap was annoying.
