Absolutely Outstanding! I recently visited Tokyo Izakaya and was blown away by the whole experience. The atmosphere is warm, stylish, and authentically Japanese. You feel like you’ve stepped straight into a Tokyo backstreet eatery. The sushi was incredibly fresh and beautifully presented; every bite melted in the mouth. I've tried Chicken Kastu Curry, Chicken Kastu, Akita Mango and Salmon Maki, and Volcano Dragon Maki. It was full of flavour and grilled to perfection. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made great recommendations from both the food and sake menu. The Robata grill dishes were a standout, and the tonkotsu ramen was rich, comforting, and packed with umami. A big thank you to Jessica, Mukesh, and the entire team for the delicious food and warm hospitality. If you’re looking for genuine Japanese dining in Birmingham, this is easily one of the best. I’ll definitely be returning. Highly recommended!

First time eating here, after some shopping in Birmingham! Absolutely beautiful restaurant with friendly staff. Super quick service given it was a busy Saturday. The tonkotsu ramen was to die for alongside the chicken gyoza. My Mom had the chicken katsu, which was also amazing! The best I've ever had actually. Would definitely recommend and would return again!

We were 10 of us who went in with an advanced booking. I was contacted promptly by Christie who confirmed the numbers. She was kind and helpful with the reservation. Overall very happy with the service.

We had the most wonderful experience at Tokyo izakaya. We have never visited before but booked a table as it gets booked up really fast. I can’t stress enough how welcoming and lovely the entire team were. Our waiters were so attentive and the whole dining experience was incredibly relaxed yet professional and prompt and everything else you could want. The setting is beautiful and you can watch the team making the sushi which was really interesting and you could see the freshness and quality of the ingredients used. The food was outstanding, wonderfully presented and literally the best sushi and side dishes we have ever tasted. Overall this restaurant was amazing you can feel the amazing Japanese hospitality and the food was on point.

I visited twice and enjoyed my meal both times! The sushi is pretty good quality especially the salmon! The unagi jyu was great too, I found it quite rich and difficult to finish but that is just the nature of the dish I was happy to find a good Japanese restaurant if I’m ever back in Birmingham I will come here again

One of my most favourable food places in the UK & definitely the most favourable sushi place in the world for me. It’s just THAT good! I don’t live in Birmingham but sometimes I go especially:) lovely food, lovely service, suitable for anyone who is not a sushi fan but loves seafood alright.

this is probably our 3rd time going and we were blown away once again. we had a table booked for 4:30 for valentines day, we got there slightly early but were seated right away. they gave us a good amount of time to pick our food and drinks. they took our orders, and starting bringing out the food not even 15mins after! the food was incredible as always, and the blue lagoon was delicious. they played beautiful music, and even played happy birthday for the table next to us. overall an amazing experience and we will definitely be going again.
