Went here for my birthday dinner and loved it! Such a cozy little spot with plenty of options to choose from and an abundance of sake's to pick from! The space is a little small so I would definitely recommend making a reservation ahead of time!

Give it all five stars for the amazing atmosphere, food, and service. The lobster roe pasta is a must try. I also like the sashimi bowl very much. Uni is so fresh and tasty! Seaweed is provided so you can eat it in multiple ways. Matcha Fizz and yuzu sake are my favorite drinks. Mochi dessert is also special! Will visit again.

Such a cute place with really good food! My favorite was definitely the salmon poke, with the dumplings and skate wing a close second, but everything was delicious. Small plates, so great for sharing lots of dishes. The people are friendly and it feels cozy without feeling cramped.

Love this place and would highly recommend for a date night. The food is delicious! Would highly recommend pairing the pork belly with the cabbage salad. All of the meat was so tender.

We reserved a few weeks in advanced. When we arrived our table was a tight bar seat facing a wall. We would not have enjoyed eating sitting facing two feet from the wall and asked if we could wait for another table to open up. The host was rudely told we couldn’t wait and that’s the table the “machine” had us in. It was delivered in unnecessary rude tone. We could have easily been accommodated.Review is not for food. Be prepared to sit with your nose to a wall before you order an Uber.

The food is good but not enough of a culinary experience to justify the price to portion ratio. I made a res and they sat me at the bar which was cramped. The espresso whiskey drink is good.

Few options for vegetarians to choose from. I had tofu and cauliflower from appetizers - the tofu was quite delicious and spicy!

Small portions that are meant to be shared between 2-3 people. Do NOT make our mistake of not reserving a table because you will be sat at the communal table where you can hear the guest next to you swallow.Food comes out fast which is appreciated, but so does the bill (will be given the bill before you get dessert).

Recently celebrated my husband's birthday with the Chef's selection fireplace spot and WOW!! We all had the best time. The food was just incredible!! The menu was so unique and we all had the best time trying everything. The night felt so special.They even printed my husband's name on the menu! The staff was so kind and responsive when I had questions prior to the night. Can't recommend Judy's Bay enough!!

Lovely 25-seat restaurant serving asian-influenced seafood. Everything about the experience feels personal and cozy. Superior food elevates the experience.Dietary restrictions: They have a strong, separate gluten-free menu for those that ask.

Delicious— incredibly fresh, local, and an authentic izakaya feel. Amazing meal that transported us to Japan. The fish katsu, fresh seaweed salad, mushrooms, all were fantastic. Gracious and welcoming staff.
