About Ijo Izakaya

Ijo Izakaya is a neighborhood izakaya with a mix of good and average dishes. While their sushi is not particularly impressive, their non-sushi items are a highlight. The restaurant is known for its deep-fried and grilled options, and customers have enjoyed dishes such as chicken, peppers, and tofu. The service can be slow and hit-or-miss, and there have been issues with incorrect orders and receipt errors. However, the restaurant's authentic Japanese flavors and generous portions make it a good spot to visit if you're in the area. Must-try items include the wasabi, fried octopus, and Hamachi Kama. Yellowtail carpaccio is a fave, and the aburi tuna nigiri is a second fave. The sashimi combo is yum, as is the katsu don, and the tempura mix is so freaking crispy and deliciouso. The chirashi don, assorted skewers, and miso cod were great, with the miso cod particularly tasty. Best sushi in Berkeley! Great ambience, solid portions for the rolls, amazing service and good prices for a nice out! Carpaccio scallops were so rich and the staff are very kind.
