" I was really looking forward to trying Dan Izakaya after hearing so many good things. While the ambiance and service were on point, I found the food to be just okay. The chicken teriyaki was tasty but didn't feel particularly authentic. I felt like the flavors were toned down a bit. I might return for the ramen that everyone seems to love, but I was not blown away by my experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a very mixed experience here. While the service was prompt and the decor lovely, I found some dishes a bit underwhelming. The tempura lacked the crunch I expected, and the sashimi felt a bit off this time. Maybe I just caught them on an off day, as I had heard great things. Despite my disappointment, I do believe they offer great value and will consider giving it another shot if I'm around. " (*Curated Review*)

" This izakaya has a wonderful vibe and delicious food! My group ordered a variety of dishes to share and every single one tasted fresh and flavorful. From the karaage to the unagi don, everything was perfect. The ambiance felt inviting and it wasn't too noisy. I can’t wait to sample more of the menu in the future! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I visit Dan Izakaya, I am impressed by the quality of the dishes. The unagi meshi is my absolute favorite, always cooked to perfection with a delightful char. The atmosphere is lively yet comfortable, making it perfect for both casual lunches and special dinners. Their attention to detail is commendable! I highly recommend making a reservation, especially on weekends. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve tried Dan Izakaya multiple times and have always left impressed. On my last visit, I tried the aburi salmon carpaccio and it was incredible. The balance of flavors was spot on! The service was also very friendly, and the atmosphere had a nice vibe to it. I recommend making reservations as it gets busy. Overall, I can't recommend this place enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining here was a treat! I loved my time at Dan Izakaya. From the welcoming staff to the artistic presentation of dishes, every aspect was delightful. The unagi don was savory with perfect rice texture. All in all, I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic Japanese cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited this place after getting a recommendation from a friend. I’m a big fan of Japanese food, and Dan Izakaya exceeded my expectations! The food is authentic, and the prices are reasonable for the portion sizes. If you're a fan of delicious sashimi or traditional rice dishes, you won’t be disappointed. I'll definitely come back next time I'm in the area! " (*Curated Review*)
