Acerca de este restaurante

Ideal para disfrutar cócteles creativos
Animado
Joya de la zona

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 staff recommendations and the food was wonderful. We ended up sitting at the bar instead of waiting for our reservation and it was lovely.

Love to hear this! Our bar team is truly something special, and we’re so glad you decided to cozy up there instead—sometimes those spontaneous seat swaps make for the best nights. Big cheers to great recs and even better bites. Hope we get to welcome you back again soon! 🥂🍱 Merissa White General Manager Momotaro & The Izakaya

I want to start with that the food was absolutely incredible. However our server was so bad it totally overshadowed the delicious food and kitchens hard work. We were sat at a table that had a very noticeable wobble, which is no big deal let’s just throw a linen down and keep the party going. We are greeted by the server where we make him aware of the issue and he says he will bring us something to help out with our drinks. Drinks arrive and he didn’t bring anything to fix the table or address the table issue. We put in a food order with him and told him I’d like to order a bottle of wine to go with the food as I was looking over the list. Asked for another linen because I used mine to fix the table wobble. Our server then proceeded to ignore us for pretty much the rest of our time there. As soon as the first course came out I began trying to get our servers attention to order the wine and he just completely ignored me. Would be at a table right next to us checking on an other table and then turn around and avoid eye contact with us while trying to get his attention. Another few course come out and still nothing. The food is so incredible that it’s making up for the fact that our server simply couldn’t care less about us. By the time he gets back to us we are mostly through our final course so no point in getting a bottle now because we felt rushed throughout the dinner. At this point the amazing host who had texted us our table was ready early, came over and took a fun Polaroid picture to mark the occasion of celebrating my Birthday. We order dessert, which again was incredible and delicious. Restaurants are hard work and take a team effort to execute so when one person ruins the whole experience it’s so disappointing. I hope this helps because there is no way food that good should be accompanied by such bad service.

Thank you for sharing your experience—and happy birthday. I’m truly sorry the service fell short and overshadowed such a special evening. While I’m thrilled the food stood out, it’s unacceptable that you felt ignored and rushed. That’s not the standard we hold ourselves to, and I appreciate you calling it out. We’re addressing this with our team and would love the chance to welcome you back for the experience you deserved. Please don’t hesitate to reach out—I’d love to make it right. Thank You, Merissa White General Manager Momotaro & The Izakaya

Visited for my birthday dinner, which the hosts made amazing from check-in until the end. I don’t want to give too much away for first-timers but let’s say the little birthday surprises were unexpected and incredibly thoughtful. The food was an explosion of flavors. I can’t wait to return.
The Izakaya at MomotaroSe respondió el 11 de abril de 2025
What an absolute joy to read your review Rashida—thank you so much for celebrating your birthday with us! We’re so thrilled to hear the evening felt special from the very start and that our little surprises hit the mark (shhh, we’ll keep the details top secret for the next lucky birthday guest 😉). And those flavor explosions? Music to our ears! We can’t wait to welcome you back for round two. You bring the good vibes, and we’ll bring the magic. 💫🍣 Kanpai!

I went there specifically to try the Momotaro Royale burger and it did not disappoint. Additionally the tuna tostada was amazing. I wish there were more options for dessert but nonetheless I highly recommend The Izakaya at Momotaro!
