I got the Kimchi ramen (13$) and the takoyaki (4 for 8$). Both were really good.Edit: I accidentally posted this before I finished...... but the tonkotsu ramen was also very delicious! The wagyu burger (14$) was okay too, but the ramen is the real winner here :)
This place is very cute and the people are nice. I really wanted to be in love with it. They get a 10/10 for presentation, friendliness, service and general vibe. The drinks were also unusual and quite good. Sadly all the food was very underwhelming. The pictures of the whole grilled squid looked deceptively large and juicy. It was actually a pretty sad little squid. I ordered dumplings and they came in this massive dish, but there were only 4 dumplings. It looked a bit awkward. The food is not bad, it's just not that amazing especially for the price. You are paying for location and presentation. Overall I had a good time, and if someone wanted to go, I would go back, but between having to pay for parking and the food being mediocre fusion (not authentic), I wouldn't drive out of my way to do this again.
I came to Izakaya for a Saturday dinner with low expectations and was pleasantly surprised. My wife and I ordered two bowls of miso ramen, cucumber salad and miso egg plant. The dishes were all served quickly, and the waiter was friendly and efficient. The cucumbers and egg plant were delicious. The ramen noodles were chewy and cooked perfectly. My only nitpick was that there was too much meat in the noodles. This won’t be a problem for most diners in Texas, but next time, I’ll order the vegetarian noodles. Our dog came with us and enjoyed sitting outside with us. I’ll be back.
I enjoyed myself the soup dumplings.... omg amazing... perfect for this bi polar weather...lol...service was amazing.
We had 2 drinks, veggie dumplings (pan fried), king mushrooms, Wagyu Beef burger and veggie ramen. Everything was amazing, including the service!
Great location. The entire staff was extremely professional and kind. We were here during open/happy hour.All the food was very flavorful. Everything is made in house. I don’t thing the Kobe beef is real Kobe (they have have the certificate, but that is ok.)We got a lot of the small plates to share. It was enough food. Will definitely come back!
Warm and cozy spot to chill with friends or for a date night dinner. The food tastes delicious, and the location is great so you can do other fun activities in the area after dinner. Great customer service as well. Would recommend this place.
The interior design, the mood and chatter of casual friends enjoying small bites and good drinks for the room. Decor is great for more old school Japanese Izakiya. Waiter was great but didn't know the liquor much and wasn't able to answer questions about their great Japanese whiskey section.I tried Japanese classics and tastes where very good. How's interpretations of stone other Japanese food too.I'd come back if I'm every in Houston again.Go and try it out!
Izakaya has a wide variety of Asian tapas style food. We loved everything we had!! The soup dumplings are excellent. The fries are a MUST. They are so good and the curry sauce on the side has an amazing flavor! We also had the bao with chicken which was also amazing. It was pretty fairly priced and again, such a wide variety. Would recommend making a reservation because they do get pretty busy!
We came here for their Sunday Funday and had a really fantastic experience. The bartender was so nice and really attentive, even with several customers at the bar; the service was great. They also had NFL on the TVs and great draft specials, which were a plus for us. The ramen special is such a great deal, we both had the Shoyu ramen which was amazing, the broth itself is insanely good! We also had the yellowtail jalapeño hamachi, trumpet mushrooms and pork dumplings, all were so delicious. Everything was so fresh and packed with flavor. We already can’t wait to go back! Thanks for such a great time!
