Izakaya Wa - Houston

Definitely would go back for bites and sake! The place is small and cozy but it definitely had a Japanese izakaya vibes.

Izakaya Wa is one of my go to restaurants for a comforting dining experience. The food is affordable and is great quality.I highly recommend getting their grilled skewers. My favorites are the yakitori negima in sauce, torikawa, and the yaki ebi. They all are complemented well with the yaki onigiri as well. The fish is always fresh and tastes great.There's a welcoming and cozy ambiance to the restaurant. Service is great and the servers are always attentive of their tables.I love coming here and will continue to visit here.

My family and I dropped in at the River Oaks location and really enjoyed the food. We had a variety of entrees and found all to be delicious. The warm Sake hit home for me thanks to my wife being designated driver). Our waiter was awesome and actually recommended the sauces to go with our entrees. We never had to wait or ask for service, he was great. My sons and I had a great time checking out all of the movie posters too. Of course my favorite was the '60s Godzilla poster. A little bit of my childhood!! We will definitely be returning.

The food was incredible. Wow. Can’t recommend the egg plant dish enough it was so good. The steak skewer was also amazing. I really enjoyed the experience at this restaurant. Wow. Can’t wait to come back.

Fun place good food wouldn't recommend for hand rolls as the seaweed is not crispy! But everything else is fantastic huge menu and friendly service
