Miso Izakaya

Great place to celebrate with a small group in one of their booths. There were 3 of us. The service was tapas style...sharing with friends at a slow pace getting one thing from the Itamae at a time. The gyozas were delicious and the sauce was heavenly. We wished the server hadn't taken the leftover away. The dry ramen was ok and probably wont get it again, but hats of to the chef sashimi plate. My 14 yr old who had never tried raw fish loved the squid more than yellow tail! Now thats an accomplishment! All melt in your mouth nom nom. I was super excited about the steamed buns as I lived on Guam for a few years and I haven't ever seen them on restaraunt menus here in the states. The chicken was very good, but nothing like the ones Im used to. The duck steamed bun wasnt impressive but it was tender and that is a good thing. The miso is miso, but the crab ramen was so savory and filling. What I will lovingly call the poke mix was the Spicy Sashimi salad with small bits of tunas, roes, wakame-seaweed, over a bed of long shredded carrots was melt in your mouth with a power punch of shichimi togarashi-spices. The drinks were yummy and beautiful to the eye. I ordered the Hanataba. Like a fancy flowered sake...not too sweet. Brought me back to the sake garden in Japan. The Yaya Man I was so scrumptious! We ended the night with Macha Bruise-green tea cream brulee. It was a wonderful casual atmosphere where we didnt feel pressed for time or out of place for sharing everything. The service is slower than most westerners are used to, but very attentive and willing to help answer questions. It's a little pricey, a lot compared to a Izakaya in Japan, but well worth it here to celebrate my older daughter's 'Yes to the Dress' day! Thank you so much Miso for making our out of town, out of state experience a night of flavorful celebration!

Great food. Everything we tried was delicious. We sat at the bar and were able to be served right away. Really great drinks as well. Tried the wings, garlic chili shrimp, shrimp shumai and egg. Everything was great!!

In short. Very good sushi, bad service. Recommend the spicy tuna and salmon and avocado rolls. But the appetisers turned up before the drinks, we waited almost an hour between appetisers and the rest of the food to show up. And just to cap it off, while we were still eating an drinking the waitress plonked the cheque on the table without even asking if we wanted dessert or anything else. Poor experience

The service and food was all exquisite. I've been to a lot of places for sushi and this is easily in my top five. The nigiri and unagi was exceptional. Also if you're into sweeter drinks, be sure to try the sake based cocktails!

The place does reservations. Luckily, there was a table open when I came without reservations. The sushi here was very tasty! Their appetizers are pricey but it is worth it!

So what happened to this restaurant in past years? It was crowded, full vibe, with wonderful Izakaya dish. Now Yelp 3.5 star only, and a lot of open table. It is still GREAT. Tamago with rice, Dan Dan noodle, Chawanmushi, all hit the spot. I guess if you only come to here for sushi roll, edmami stuff, you can go to any Sushi restaurant to get them, why come to an Izakaya? Japanese food are more than sushi.....I hope more people realize this in America.

Great service, great price/quality. Very tasty. Chill and relaxed atmosphere. The menu is fairly simple. Some smaller eats and a decent selection of sushi. My only qualm was with the sake menu. I don’t know much about sake allthough I enjoy it very much. We had to have two servers explain details (flavours, quantity etc.) to us before we decided on what we wanted. All this info could have been on the menu but it wasn’t.

This place is more like an American Style Sushi bar rather than Izakaya. Nice looking inside. Steamed bun was delicious, house salad was covered by too much dressing which got me a little bad impression, and most important part, sushi was okay. For me, rice was a little bit too dry. I found fish fresh enough. I can recommend this place especially for non-Japanese people, I liked the atmosphere of this place.
