Acerca de este restaurante

Animado
Ideal para disfrutar cócteles creativos
Bueno para ocasiones especiales

The Izakaya está ubicado en el nivel subterráneo de Momotaro. The Izakaya y su menú de platillos compartidos con influencias de pub replican la escena callejera de Yokocho en Tokio. Los estrechos "pasajes" tipo lounge alrededor del bar central están adornados con menús japoneses pintados a mano, luces cambiantes de neón y señalamientos callejeros vintage de Tokio, todo lo cual crea el ambiente para la afirmación directa de Izakaya a los mercados negros de la posguerra más famosos de Tokio. The Izakaya es oscuro, energético y lleno de expectativas, y ofrece un bar para 30 visitantes en el que prepara cocteles artesanales, sakes y una selección de whiskies japoneses de calidad. Tenga en cuenta que el menú Momotaro del salón comedor principal ya no está disponible en The Izakaya. Puede revisar el nuevo menú de Izakaya al hacer clic en la pestaña del menú.***

Excellent. More of a limited menu than I anticipated but we shared a bunch of dishes and it was outstanding. Excellent service! (Oh… delicious burger!).

Hi Denise, Thank you for this lovely note! We're so glad the Izakaya experience hit the mark—from the shared bites to the warm service (and yes, that burger always deserves its own shoutout). While the menu is curated to keep things focused and fun, we're thrilled to hear it led to an outstanding night all around. Come back anytime—we'll have more surprises waiting!

I was amazed when I first walked in here. The ambience of the place is on another level that made me feel like I was walking to a techno, electrifying Tokyo. Each seating arrangement was well thought out and no matter where you’re sat, you got a good vibe of the place. For drinks we got the Kobayashi which was an ube coconut cocktail and although I wish it was stronger, that was probably the best drink I’ve ever tried. My boyfriend got the Liquid luck and it was a sour strawberry cocktail and he said it’s something he could keep drinking. For food we got the Momo Royale (it 100% loved up to the hype of one of the best burgers. The bun was soft yet slightly crispy on the outside which was amazing). We also got the Tebasaki Wings! We were hesitant at first because we were told it was only 4 wings. But they’re actually a decent size and we were very full after splitting the burger and sharing the wings. I’m so happy that I listened to all the other good reviews and made a reservation. The service was also really good!

Dear Natasha, You just made our day with this review! We love that the vibe transported you, and we’re so glad the Kobayashi, Liquid Luck, and Momo Royale delivered the full Izakaya experience. And yes—the wings are small in number but mighty in flavor. Thank you for trusting the hype (and the reviews)—we’re thrilled you made that reservation and can’t wait to have you back for round two!

We had a wonderful time at the Izakaya of Momotaro. Decided to choose this excellent restaurant to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and it did not disappoint. First, the staff was so nice in making us feel special from the moment we walked up to the host stand. Once we told them our names, they immediately wished us a happy anniversary, and the menus even had it written on it - such a nice surprise! Our server was attentive and always around if we needed anything. Can’t praise the staff enough! Next, on to the food. We are a bit picky, in that we lived in Japan for a number of years, so experienced a large number of Japanese izakayas. Momotaro’s Izakaya was no where close to one you find in Japan, but to be fair, we haven’t found one similar in the states. I also don’t think that is exactly what they are going for, but more of a modern and hip take on a Japanese Izakaya - which they did well. We had the hamakama, tebasaki, Tsukune, gyoza, satsumaimo fries, and tropical sundae. Everything was so delicious, and the portions were very good - I haven’t seen that much meat on a hamakama in some time. The only knock I have is that this place is a bit loud…and my spouse’s voice doesn’t travel that well. That hurt the mood a little bit, but a minor complaint overall. We didn’t try the cheeseburger even though every one raves about it….i just couldn’t…I mean it is an Izakaya…
The Izakaya at MomotaroSe respondió el 16 de mayo de 2025
Hi Brad, Thank you for celebrating your anniversary with us—it means a lot! We’re so glad our team helped make it feel special and that you enjoyed the dishes, especially the hamakama. Your perspective as someone who’s lived in Japan is truly appreciated, and we’re proud to offer a modern spin that still honors the izakaya spirit. We hear you on the volume—it’s definitely a lively space, and we’re always working on finding the right balance. As for the burger… maybe next time? Hope to welcome you back again soon!

The food was phenomenal, however very expensive. We did not know it was karaoke night, which truly ruined the evening, it was terrible. Do NOT go on Mondays unless you want to participate in karaoke in a small and very loud space.
The Izakaya at MomotaroSe respondió el 7 de mayo de 2025
Hi Priscilla, Thanks so much for the feedback! We’re glad you loved the food and appreciate you sharing your thoughts about the Monday night scene. Karaoke night definitely brings a big energy—and it’s not everyone’s vibe. We’d love to have you back on a quieter night to enjoy the experience from a different angle! Kanpai, Merissa White General Manager Momotaro & The Izakaya.
