    Every single time we go here we have a dinner that we cannot help exclaim is ‘the most beautiful tasting food ever!’ Impeccable service. A quaint venue. Delicious drinks. But the food is everything! I’m not even a vegan but this plant based Japanese cuisine is something everyone would love!

    My daughter is a vegan and I wanted to surprise her. She flew up from Melbourne and we took her to Izakaya for a celebration dinner. She rated the food very highly and as being one of the best. The service was next to none and when she accidentally knocked over her cocktail the staff were so gracious in replacing it. Thank you staff for your generous and friendly manner and your exceptional food. Very satisfied.

    The cold salad came after the hot dishes that was a bit strange. And the waitress forgot one of our dish, so we had to wait for a bit. Understandably that was busy on Fri night. Otherwise, food value, presentation and taste are fantastic. My husband normally is not a vegan fan, that he loved it so much and would like to dine again.
