Ijo Izakaya is a neighborhood izakaya with a mix of good and average dishes. While their sushi is not particularly impressive, with bland flavors and rubbery fish, 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.
