The wagyu was definitely worth getting. Staff is awesome and smiles throughout. All around great experience in a small but capable Japanese restaurant <3
Been coming here for years. A Japanese owned Izakaya restaurant means you're in good hands.
The detailed revu:
Having your grandparents been Japanese citizens, you are raised to value honour, reputation, hard work, and exemplary work.
That's why I always look for Japanese restaurants that have signs of being Japanese owned. You can usually tell once you hear the staff talk to each other in their native language.

Izakaya Ju Japanese Restaurant offers an authentic Japanese dining experience, known for its delicious charcoal-grilled skewers, including lamb chops, chicken liver, ox tongue, and stuffed chicken wings. The sashimi is fresh and tasty, although it can be slightly pricey. It's a great place to enjoy a beer and a meal with friends or family, but reservations are recommended, especially on weekends when the restaurant can be almost fully booked.
Customers praise the restaurant's creative and delicious menu, highlighting favorites like the mushroom salad and the black cod radish dish. One reviewer stated that Izakaya Ju makes the best oden they've tried, even better than an izakaya in Osaka. The quality of the ramen is also highly regarded, being on par with the best ramen shops. The yakitori, particularly the chef’s combo, has received glowing reviews, with many saying it is amazing. However, some guests mentioned that one of the skewers was a bit salty. The staff are described as friendly and helpful, contributing to a neighborhood feel reminiscent of Japan. Overall, it is a solid spot for Japanese small plates, and many customers express their intention to return.
