This list was on a Japanese information exchange forum and thought I’d see what you guys here thought of it. This is pretty much the same list I get when I talk to the Japanese business men who eat out all the time, except...

The izakaya thread below is already two years old, and many of the places mentioned seem to be no longer around. Would love to hear anyone’s updated recs.

Opened a couple weeks ago on 3rd street just East of La Cienega. Same delicious menu as the other Katsuya locations (so not sure why they changed the name). Food and atmosphere were much better than the overly trendy Brentwood...

Looking for an IZAKAYA or something that might pass for it, ANYWHERE in the 5 boroughs. Know of any?

Moving back to the city for awhile and was wondering how the izakaya scene has changed over the past year or so. What are peoples opinins? Thanks

Went to this new Japanese place on front last night with a few friends called Izakaya, and I have to say it was really really good. The room is super cool for a start, which at times can mean style over substance, but not in this...

Since Tanto on Cyril Magnin closed, I have been wishing I knew of another such place in San Francisco. Last week, I had a good meal consisting of green garlic (kuki ninniku) tempura, grilled calimari with shoyu, grilled...

Sozai is a real Japanese pub with creative flair.

hi folks, i am currently in vancouver with my vegetarian boyfriend. i am really hoping to do an Izakaya crawl around robson/denman, am wondering if there will be any and any GREAT options for my boyfriend. Any specific suggestions...

Is Izakaya is the new black or something? Seems like a whole contingent of them are storming Toronto in the last while... I’m not complaining, but what’s with the coordinated launches?

I found an ad in a Chinese Newspaper for New Tokyo. They have the words "Izakaya" on the ad and also say “unique in Toronto - authentic charcoal grill”. Address is 668 Silver Star Blvd, probably opposite StarWalk. Has...
