We ate at Masuya restaurant, not their izakaya. Food was wonderful and the staff was quite attentive and helpful. They have an extensive menu - not just sushi or tempura. A great choice for dinner!

One word: Oiishi!! Don’t hesitate to book the table. Generous servings of deliciousness matched perfectly with their delicious array of cocktails. Definitely order the okonomi, crudo kingfish and fried eggplant. Even the potato salad was a show-stopper. Thank you Miji Bar & Grill for making our anniversary dinner a special one.
