" Amazing food! Each dish we tried was remarkable. I loved the variety and the thoughtful presentation of everything served. The spicy tuna and fried calamari stood out for me. It was a bit on the pricey side, but considering the quality of ingredients and the service, it felt worth it. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfect for group gatherings. Highly recommend visiting! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Izakaya Meiji with friends for a celebratory dinner and it was wonderful! We appreciated the tapas-style menu allowing us to sample various dishes. The karaage was a highlight—juicy and crispy to perfection. The ambiance was warm and inviting, making it an ideal setting for a relaxed evening. However, I felt that the drink prices were slightly on the higher end. That said, we thoroughly enjoyed our night there! " (*Curated Review*)

" What an enjoyable dining experience! The ambiance transports you somewhere cozy and rustic, reminiscent of a warm Japanese home. The staff were incredibly polite and observant. From the moment we stepped in, we were well taken care of. Each plate we tried, from various sashimi selections to traditional sweet potato dishes, offered a delightful and fresh taste. I will surely be returning for more sake and conversation. " (*Curated Review*)

" What can I say? This place is awesome! So much variety on the menu, and everything just tastes so good. Plus, the vibe is incredible—great for a night out or even just a casual dinner. I'd definitely recommend the karaage and the fresh sashimi. Everything was beautifully plated too! I hardly ever leave good reviews but had to for this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" An excellent izakaya experience! The small plates allow everyone to try a bit of everything, and they do each dish remarkably well. I particularly enjoyed the fried rock fish and the rich curry udon. The drinks menu boasts some unique cocktails too, which were surprisingly refreshing. The only downside was that we had to wait a bit longer for a table, but it was worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first time at an izakaya, and it exceeded my expectations! The small plates concept was fun, and we got to try loads of dishes. The miso egg was a delightful surprise! Although some dishes were stronger than others, like the fried eggplant which lacked punch, overall, it offered a great experience. The service was good, and the vibe was casual yet charming. " (*Curated Review*)

" While the food here was good, I felt like it didn’t quite measure up to the hype surrounding this place. There was something a bit off about the flavors—not quite as nuanced as traditional Japanese food. The service was friendly, though, and I adored the ambiance. I think I'd consider a return visit but perhaps just for drinks next time. " (*Curated Review*)
