" I've been here a couple times, and each visit has been delightfully consistent! The chicken curry is rich and satisfying, while the skewers are a must-try! However, the restaurant does get busy, which can make for a nervous wait for a table. Additionally, parking can be tricky. But if you manage to get a spot, it's well worth the wait! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dined here for the first time and must say it was quite the experience. I loved the rice balls and how they captured traditional flavors. The service could have been better as we were overlooked at times, but the delicious meals made it easier to overlook that. I would come back and try more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations going into Izakaya-Wa based on reviews and while the food was good, it didn't completely meet my desires for authenticity. The tempura was a bit soggy for my liking and lacked that crispiness you find at a traditional place. The service, however, was excellent. Everyone was friendly and accommodating. Might try again but will keep my expectations in check. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely dinner at Izakaya-Wa! The ambiance really set the mood for a cozy evening. The sushi rolls are very good, but I was blown away by the grilled skewers. They were absolutely delicious! The wait for our food was a little long, but it was worth it. I highly recommend the BBQ chicken skewers! " (*Curated Review*)

" The highlight of my recent visit was the seamless flow of flavors in the sashimi platter. It reminded me of my time spent in Japan! The service was delightful; they seemed genuinely happy to be serving. I wish I could have tried more of the menu as my experience was a well-deserved treat! " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience here was delightful! Everything we ordered was flavorful, fresh, and well-presented. It gives off a friendly vibe, making it a great spot for gatherings. Although we found the dining area a bit cramped, the quality of the food made up for it. Absolutely a place to come back to again and again! " (*Curated Review*)

" Izakaya-Wa offers a unique dining experience that feels genuine and authentic. While I was impressed with the quality of ingredients, I did notice some dishes that lacked a bit of seasoning. The setting is quite pleasant for a casual meal, and overall, I had a good time. Not far from my house, I can see myself coming back often! " (*Curated Review*)
