    Waiter and bartender greeted us right away when we walked in. The furniture and decor are tasteful. The outdoor patio area was really nice, with heating lamps and shade. It was cold the day we went, so we decides to sit inside. Menu had many food options to choose from, and even had the option to order the Japanese food from next door. I wanted to try the Chicken Curry, but decided to have drinks & an appetizer for this visit. Ordered two cocktails and the Osaka Fries. The fries were hot, fresh, and tasty. The drinks looked really nice & was enjoyable. The waiter was attentive and very helpful. Two TVs were playing the NBA playoffs, so we watched the game while sipping on our cocktails. We'd go back on a hot & sunny day in the Outer Richmond, so we can have cocktails in the outdoor patio. Overall, a good experience.

    PEV friendly location. You can charge your electric scooter here while having food and drink. There's an outdoor patio for safe distancing. Food taste great. Softdrinks have refills. Owner is friendly.

    Good find. Came here after a hike to Lands End. Super tasty brussel chips, and marinated chicken. Interesting menu. Expected regular sushi fare for lunch. But pleasantly surprised by the delicious fare. Outdoor casual dining. Only complaint. Could be better kept up garden and tables need a redo or covers.

    Easy sushi and Japanese food spot for dinner. They have a bar with TVs as well as normal seating. They offer a Japanese menu and an American style menu too. Prices are average to expensive. Maybe $20-30 per person.

    What a great local gem in the outer richmond. Has a great ambiance with wide range of dishes on their menu to satisfy most picky eaters. Servers are very nice and accommodating. They have a great back yard to dine in at, especially during these times. Expect to spend $20-$30 per person if you order a few things + drinks.

    Great bar with outdoor patio and good fusion Japanese food. The venue itself is modern. There are 2 big screens for sports watching. Parking is fairly easy and there is a lift bike station right outside.

    Unexpectedly good find!! Thought this place was new, but I just hadn’t noticed them before (new sign or something?). Cool combo of Japanese and American food in a bar setting. My partner got the fried chicken sandwich (spicy!), subbed normal fries for the Osaka fries, and was super satisfied. I got the chicken katsu curry. Yummy!!! Both entrees had a HUGE piece of chicken, they don’t skimp on the meat. Cheesy garlic toast was a bit too much garlic for me personally, but glad I tried it. Hamachi jalapeño was super tasty, was wishing it was more than just 4 pieces! Look forward to returning and trying out more of the menu. EDIT: After a 2nd visit here, I just want to say, don’t order the udon fries! Not worth it. We had no idea what to expect when we ordered, but a glass cup with a handful of completely plain, crispy spaghetti (?) noodles was also 100% not what we would’ve expected. Still keeping same rating however as the rest of the food was still good (and in fact the cheesy garlic toast was better than before!)

    I pretty rarely give 5 stars, but when I do, it must be a perfect place. Perfect in every aspect.

    After a Sunday round at Lincoln Park Golf Course, this was my first indoor sit-down at a bar or restaurant in more than a year. A short walk from the golf course, we were last here when it was called "The Tee Off". Now called "The Links", it's under new management, newly renovated and with a new menu ("new" being relative - I understand they took over pre-COVID). They just started reopening for lunch and are a great alternative to the Lincoln Park Clubhouse which is still mostly closed. They've got an open air patio dining area in the back, but we plunked down our vaccinated seats at the bar.The predecessor bar at this location was a traditional beer and burger neighborhood sports bar dive. "The Links" menu is a bit more upscale with Asian / California fusion selections (but you can still get wings and fries). I had the "Loco Moco". Recommended. UPDATE: since my initial review, this has become our regular "19th Hole" lunch stop after a Sunday round at Lincoln Park Golf Course. I've since sampled several other items on the menu, including the katsu fish, pork and spicy seafood udon. Everything's been great. Still recommended.

    As much as I mourn the loss of so many of my old haunts in this city, this spot was a delightful surprise. Cool joint, good drinks, great food, friendly staff. The menu is chock full of some great looking stuff. I went with the chicken curry katsu and was well pleased. Great flavor, perfectly fried cutlet, really hit the spot. My partner went with the beyond burger... not something you expect at an izakaya, but it was great. Nice kick to the sauce they did not skimp on.

    We love bringing our pup to the patio at Izakaya Links. The food is great and the service is what you'd expect. This is a great place for date night.

    Great food! Seasoned perfectly without extra salt. Flavorful and pretty. Big portions. Katsu chicken curry and loco moco!
