" I visited this izakaya during a busy weekend, and although it took some time to get seated, the staff handled everything exceptionally well. The food exceeded my expectations—the sashimi was fresh, and the crunchy rice in my deluxe meshi was a highlight! I will certainly return, perhaps to try their renowned yakitori next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I must say, I was underwhelmed. The ramen, although good, didn’t quite compare to what I’ve had elsewhere. The service was attentive, and the environment clean and inviting, but when you expect high quality Japanese cuisine, it's disappointing when it doesn’t hit the mark. I would recommend sticking to their popular rice dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" The service was good, and the environment pleasant, but unfortunately, I found the food average at best. I ordered the tempura and was disappointed with the texture and flavor. While others seemed to enjoy their meals, I feel like I missed out on what makes this place so special. Perhaps I will give it another chance. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delightful find! I came here on a whim and was pleasantly surprised by the food. The deluxe meshi was hearty and well proportioned, and I loved that it came in a stone pot. The ambiance is cozy, and the service was friendly and attentive. Be prepared, though, as it can get busy. I wholeheartedly recommend the sashimi salad as well! " (*Curated Review*)

" Initially, I was thrilled to visit Dan Izakaya, but I must report a disappointing experience. I found the service rather slow despite not being busy on a weekday and the food came out lukewarm. The flavors didn’t pop, and I expected much more from the reviews. It was a letdown, and I might explore other options in the future. " (*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*)
