I really enjoy my experiences dining at Show Izakaya. The sushi is always fresh and delicious, regardless of the day I randomly come. I appreciate how they source their fish, and the thoughtful melding of flavors of their dishes, whether it’s the truffle hamachi or their variety of rolls, give the menu an edge over similar sushi restaurants. The service is always attentive and kind, and the restaurant is at the high end of Davis eateries. I appreciate you, Show Izakaya!
The restaurant is really nice and has a great atmosphere! The only reason I’m giving 4 stars is because the service was pretty slow. My boyfriend and I came in to eat, and even the miso soup took quite a while to come out.

Perfect place for a date night!
Sashimi melts in your mouth, presentation of all the food was very beautiful. Very nice aesthetics.
Would recommend getting the sashimi chef choice rather than individually.
Would go back again!

SHOW IZAKAYA is an awesome spot with a tranquil, modern, and upscale dining room that offers an excellent, clean facility with beautiful table wear. It has a minimalist environment and a wonderful, traditional vibe. The staff provides phenomenal, excellent, friendly, and helpful customer service, making guests feel very welcomed.
The amazing menu has a nice variety of traditional Japanese dishes, including sushi, small plates, and ramen. The sushi is extraordinarily good, with great fish featured in options like the big salmon sushi roll, crab sushi roll, nigiri, and sashimi chef's choice, which has beautiful plating. Other standout dishes include the softshell crab, grilled peppers with shrimp, very tasty chicken yakatori, really good garlic edamame, and smoky beef skewers with a nice soy glaze. The ramen, including the miso ramen, is unbelievably delicious with mellowness and depth of flavor. Creative and delicious cocktails are also available.
While most food is perfect, some items like the tempura can be inconsistent. The prices are very reasonable, matching the perfection in food and offering great value. Reservation is recommended on weekends, though walk-ins are sometimes possible with a short wait. This is a place that hits expectations and more, ensuring customers become regulars.
