    Lovely food & team at Izakaya, having been to Japan recently this took us back in a delightful way! We enjoyed the Wagyu beef and chicken teriyaki, along with some sushi, cocktails and whisky. They were made aware of my gluten free diet and were able to adjust/seperate ingredients where necessary. We look forward to coming back :)

    Nothing but excellent experience. Both staff who attended our table were very friendly and polite. Food came in a timely manner. We were there for a celebration and we ordered: sashimi, a few entrees, large salmon, pork katsu, wagyu beef, a poke bowl and omurice. All were good, delicious, authentic Japanese food. 😋
