" From the moment we walked into Sola, the inviting decor and lovely atmosphere set the tone for a delightful meal. The menus were filled with enticing options, and our server was incredibly knowledgeable about each dish. We opted for a few recommended plates, including the karaage and oden, and I can't speak highly enough of their preparation and taste. The freshness of the ingredients was unmistakable. I am definitely planning to return soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" This izakaya is an incredible place to unwind after a long day. The ambiance is relaxing, and the staff is friendly. I enjoyed the delightful karaage and the grilled onigiri, which was perfect. Everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. Although I wish the portion sizes were a bit bigger, the flavors more than made up for it. I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone craving authentic Japanese dishes in a relaxed setting! " (*Curated Review*)

" A delightful experience at Sola! The traditional dishes were perfectly cooked, and the flavors were bursting with authenticity. We enjoyed the gyoza and the grilled fish, which were both outstanding. The owner Miki was the heart of the place, making everyone feel at home. I can't wait to come back for another meal here! " (*Curated Review*)

" Sola is the place to be if you want authentic Japanese food. I tried a few different items, including the tempura and the seasoned dumplings, and I can confidently say it rivals what I've had in Japan. The building itself has character, adding to the whole experience. My only complaint is that the wait can be a bit long, especially on weekends, but the flavors definitely make it worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Sola's izakaya experience was delightful! The decor immediately brought me back to my travels in Japan. I ordered several dishes to share, including the fried chicken, grilled mushrooms, and the special salad. Each dish was absolutely delicious. The staff provided attentive service and were very accommodating. Just a little tip: be prepared for a wait during peak dinner hours, but I promise the food is worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" An unexpected gem! I stumbled upon Sola while searching for authentic Japanese cuisine and I couldn't be happier. The moment I walked in, the welcoming atmosphere set the stage for a delightful evening. The grilled mackerel was tender and bursting with flavor, and the onigiri brought me back to my travels in Tokyo. The staff, especially Miki, made us feel like family. If you're looking for a place that serves comfort food with a touch of Japan, Sola is a must-visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" What an incredible find! Sola is the izakaya I had been searching for. I decided to treat myself to a dinner here after a long workweek, and I truly enjoyed every moment of it. The grilled chicken and the oden were highlights. I also appreciated the well-crafted cocktails they offer. It's a cozy spot, and the owner always makes time to chat with guests. Don't miss out on trying this charming restaurant! " (*Curated Review*)
