What people say about Dan Izakaya Restaurant

The fresh sashimi, skewers, sashimi salad, and the richness of the small plates menu are among the common things noted by the reviewers. The service is described as consistent and warm, and the vastness of the plaza parking allows visiting the place easier than many other compact Japanese restaurants in San Jose. The place tends to be crowded on Friday nights, but not all of the dishes work well for everybody; some guests have noticed too soft takoyaki and overly sweet sauces. Nonetheless, people who like having many plates and sharing them tend to give high marks to the restaurant.

Restaurant overview

About Dan Izakaya Restaurant

Dan Izakaya Restaurant offers many kinds of izakaya dishes from Japan at Saratoga Avenue, such as sashimi, carpaccio, yakitori, rice bowls, grilled dishes, and appetizers. This concept is quite suitable for sharing; thus, customers may gradually create their dish instead of ordering just one dish.

The restaurant operates at lunchtime and at night, when it offers a special lunch set during the week and has its own evening flow with a grill and beverages. There are lots of seafood options available; however, there are cooked meat, vegetable, and rice dishes for people preferring something else than raw fish.

The reservations are accepted only by phone and at least one day before coming to the restaurant that will help to organize your weekend dinner visit. The new look of the dining room has helped the restaurant to get the modernized look while keeping its izakaya character.
