Izakaya is traditionally “Japanese pub food”. This was more “inspired” by an Izakaya but it’s not super traditional. Which I get, you need to appeal to a broader audience when you’re located in a casino. But as a Japanese, when they mix in Chinese dishes or other Asian inspired food but pass it off as Japanese, it’s slightly annoying. The place was packed and food was prompt but our waiter needed to check-in a bit more often. The Robtayaki (grilled skewers) are pretty legit and I would be adventurous and order off the menu vs the “tasting menu”. It was quite delish!

Chef’s choice was at $95 per person, they gave you so much food and you can’t really finish. Most are tasty, service was exceptional. Only thing need to improve, sea bass was way too salty. Bigeye tuna roll was weak

Very good appetizers. Must try the Wagyu beef slides, and the Kinki chicken wings they are so so good n delicious!! The beef short ribs was tender n juicy. Ordered the shrimp tempura roll, not fresh had a peculiar taste but they were very accommodating and removed from the bill. Overall I would definitely come back here.

Beautiful spot, very kind hostess. Hard working bartender yet Iffy bar service as he was not atentive Sadly, the food did not meet the expectations as the taste were wanky. Got food poisoning from the dishes, all night had been sick. Ordered from the special dish menu Presentation was nice Waiter messed up our order refusing to acknowledge that we were waiting on the Yellowtail sushi, didn't call last call so when we set the second half of our order he gave the cold shoulder not to put in an order. Ribs were cold, lacked flavor(Pork not beef which isn't mentioned on menu) Split one with my colleague we both disliked the dise leaving two pieces to waste Fried chicken was very good. Best thing out of all the options we tried Sushi had a funky strange smoke taste that didn't that didn't feel good eating as the smell/tasye was overpowering The beef skewers was overcooked and tasted like a moist slab of leather Chicken wings were good. Great consistency, flavor was a bit off tho

Delicious and very fast service. The ambiance is nice. They say us down right away. Our waiter was very friendly. The fish was very fresh and left us feeling good. Will definitely be back.

My husband loves this place, I liked it but wasn't outstanding. Some of the food was over salty. I did like that you can order the small plates this way you can try a lot of different things and if you like something you can order more and if you don't like something you aren't wasting a ton of food.

Favorite restaurant!!! Amazing atmosphere, incredibly fast service, very clean, everything that we ordered was amazing! It’s very hard to have it all at the same place. But this is the place! Highly recommended! On Mondays they have special prices!

I normally never leave a bad review however, this past Saturday calls for major attention to this restaurant's male host. On Saturday, 8/5 I walked to the hostess to try to make reservations for 2. The male host, said we are fully booked. I found his demeanor off.... As clearly, I was not dressed for dinner as I was in gym clothes however I am heavily tatted. I obviously was not going to attend dinner in what I was wearing. Out of curiosity I went online just to see if there in fact was availability and YES there were 3 open time slots for dinner same day as this gentleman told me again they were "fully booked"! I booked reservations for 8:45pm. *NOTE: I run a 32 million dollar company in Midtown Manhattan. Furthermore, to judge or discriminate someone based off their appearance and / or love of ink artwork is beyond ignorant. Most people would of not wanted to eat here at this restaurant however I am an advocate for people to wake up and to do better. We returned for our 8:45pm reservation and of course I was dressed for dinner and not my gym attire. The food and ambiance was amazing! The lychee martini, the grilled octopus, grilled scallops, salmon entree and all were outstanding! The male hostess who declined taking my reservation does need proper etiquette and training. If I had a party of 30 with me that evening that is a HUGE loss. Luckily it was just a party of 2. Hopefully he will do better and not make assumptions or judgments moving forward.....

Beautiful restaurant, had a great time celebrating a friend's birthday. Waiter was very kind and helpful and we tried the chefs tasting menu which was excellent and timed perfectly with each of the four courses coming out separately.

We decided to take advantage of their Monday $7 special deal. We started with the tempura cheese curd, noodles and tuna avocado. Tuna avocado was great, just tiny. Noodles were the highlight in my option. The cheese curds were … fine. We ordered 1 of each of the rolls on the special and as expected, they were an aggressive rice to filling ratio. The drinks were good, the lychee mojito was better than melon martini, which was VERY sweet. My SO was very happy with the beer prices and selection. He also wanted me to make sure to leave a comment of the lack of ginger.

Sharing is not recommended. Portions are small if you buy the a la carte. When they said skew they should have said tooth pick. My duck was the size of a postage stamp. Entrees are slightly larger. Best value short ribs and fried rice. All in all the experience and atmosphere was beautiful. Taste was delicious but left you wanting more.

The waitress was inattentive and, by the end of my dining experience, transitioned to rude. I ordered three different items. The miso soup, salmon negimaki, and a kani crab roll. The only decent item was the roll. The soup first came out cold, and the salmon was incredibly oily, and tasted like they just poured sesame oil on it. This was an extremely terrible dining experience, especially since I had been there previously a few times, and it was positive. It had been a while ago, and it seems to have gone downhill.

It's simply amazing. High-end interior, but prices are very low The atmosphere is amazing and definitely has a wow effect. It is a great spot to go to for an event or visitors. Paying for the experience, Paying for the experience, ambiance, and presentation. The food was beautifully arranged presentation. The food was beautifully arranged. Cutlery was really good. Somehow, portions were small. Toilets weren't clean. Paying for the experience, ambiance, and presentation. They don't have authentic many options in alcoholic beverages DEFINITELY NOT A AUTHENTIC JAPANESE FOOD AT ALL. $$$

I was greeted and seated very fast! All the servers were attentive. I wish there was more kimchi in the fried rice. All the food was good. The sashimi was on point. Next time I may just order that! The rice and filet were good but nothing to rave about.

Overall everything was good - it is a little pricey and the pork gyoza was very odd (I would not order again). The tuna avocado and the spicy tuna cracker are my favorites! Go on Monday they have a great happy hour!

This restaurant has beautiful ambiance. Very nice for a date. The serving sizes are small but you have to understand you are paying for the quality. The food is phenomenal! Not an every day restaurant, but I will definitely be back for a celebration!

Besides our appetizer the food was awesome. We ordered the albacore tuna tataki , it was sooo small. Service was really good. The Big Eye tuna roll was fantastic.

Overall great experience! The atmosphere is lovely, waitstaff friendly and the food was fantastic! We did wish they would have checked in a bit more so we could order more! The open kitchen style was quite fun and it was some of the best food we had on our trip!!

First time dining at Izakaya. Love the dark, romantic ambiance. Service was attentive, polite and very professional. We ordered from the Tasting Menu. We absolutely love everything they brought out. Very tasty, yet delicate and mild. All the meals were sized appropriately. We look forward to dining at Izakaya again.

Jim was taking care of our table and he was very nice. Food was amazing, no joke! Will definitely come back.

The staff was very friendly and the food was great. They have socially distant seating which was being observed properly. The food came out quickly and was high quality. The salmon was well one and tasted fresh. The Fish tacos were also very flavorful and mildly spicy. My only complaint is that the portion sizes are very small. While they do tell you this ahead of time, it is still frustrating.

We have been here many times and it is always excellent. The food and the service are top notch. Be sure to make a reservation. It is a very popular restaurant.

The food was delicious. Server was really nice. Yellow tail was my favorite thing on the menu!

Great meal. Certainly pricey, but worth it. Had the tasting menu and all were completely satisfied. We will absolutely be returning. The service was exceptional as well which is quite something in our pandemic world.
