Dan Izakaya Restaurant

I visited Dan Izakaya Restaurant twice this week; first on a quiet Tuesday lunch time, and then on a bustling Friday night.
Making a reservation for Tuesday meant our large party was seated immediately, but Friday's visit involved a long wait, despite this, the staff remained calm and friendly throughout.
I highly recommend the Sashimi Salad, raw squid, Unagi Meshi, and their bento box, although the Takoyaki included was a bit too soft for my liking, likely due to an excess of flour in the mix, and the sauce was overly sweet.
Parking is ample as the lot serves the entire plaza, ensuring convenience no matter how busy it gets.
Whether it's a weekday visit or a busy weekend dinner, Dan Izakaya impresses with its quality dishes and steadfast service.

Small restaurant , no same day reservation. Ordered Aburi salmon carpaccio, deluxe meshi ( crispy rice pot ), garlic steak don, chicken Karaage . Each dish is good except the garlic steak don , I think inside has butter and too over . But sashimi is sashimi , no skill at all , what you need to do just order the great grade fish ….. Table is very small and we sat near the front door , being disturbed when someone walks in.
Server only take orders and Serve dishes. 4 dishes total :$87

We were supposed to try sweethome next door but ended up here for lunch, what a pleasant surprise as both food and service were great! Came in probably a bit late around 1245 ish without realizing they close at 145pm, but they welcomed us with warmth and grace.
They also gave us the tatami table in the back and I appreciated its privacy and quiet environment.
Their interior decor was simple.
The vibe of chaotic organization made me feel vibrant. The food came quickly and it was stellar! My deluxe meshi with seared salmon tasted tender and delicious with all contrasting elements.
Loved the spoonful combination of sour crunchy cucumber pickle, soft fish roe and salmon and hard rice.
This dish is to die for! My kids enjoyed their meal and like the food.
Husband's large bowl had tender grilled beef and tongue, all good.
The only thing he complained was the pork being somewhat dry.
Overall everything tasted excellent. Service was friendly, patient and polite.
They didn't rush us, even brought water jar in case we need it. Tip: They open for lunch at 11:15am and close at 1:45pm, check schedule on website.
