Izaka-ya - San Jose

So good. I've eaten from here four times, three delivered and most recently in person, and it's perfectly delicious every time. I recommend the katsu curry!

Great food and fair pricing. Came across this restaurant by accident and decided to give it a try. After waiting in line for quite some time (this has happened to us various times, it is worth the wait but it won't be quick. If you're super hungry or in a hurry go someplace else).The food and the atmosphere both feel very fresh and authentic. We were seated at the bar so we got to see the chef prepare our meal. We appreciated the care and craftsmanship that they put into our meal. We will return soon.

I love this place the service is always good and the food is even better. The oyster shooters with the quail eggs are amazing. The curry is always full of flavor and the sushi is always fresh. The building is a little old and the restaurant is very small. It's not ideal for wheelchairs. They do not take reservations so make sure to come early. The parking lot is very tight but there is plenty of parking. There are signs everywhere to remind you not to leave valuables in the car. It's also next to the light rail if you rather take that option. Definitely a must try.Kid-friendliness: They have kid friendly plates and utensilsParking: Plenty of parking but very tight squeezeWheelchair accessibility: Not ideal for wheelchairs

Solid, authentic Japanese with tons of options. Small place with cute decor and many lucky cats. I recommend chicken skin yakitori and hamachi bento, but I must try more things! Price is as expected for good Japanese (not high value, but reasonable).

Went in with low expectations but the food is super authentic and reminded me of hole-in-the-wall joints in Japan.Massive menu with plenty of options to hit your Japanese cravings and they did not sacrifice quality for quantity. Our group liked every dish we ordered!Place is quite small so we had a long wait, but once you sit down service is prompt!
