   I went there specifically to try the Momotaro Royale burger and it did not disappoint. Additionally the tuna tostada was amazing. I wish there were more options for dessert but nonetheless I highly recommend The Izakaya at Momotaro!

   This was my second time here, and the experience never fails to impress! The service is outstanding, great knowledge and conversation about the menu and its curation. Drinks were unique and surprising. If I’m entertaining people from out of town, this would be one of the first places I’d think of!

   We went for our Anniversary and we got a menu that said “Happy Anniversary” love that personally touch. We got the burger which was perfect to share. I wasn’t a big fan of the Miso soup, too much tofu at the bottom. Also got the TUNA TOSTADA, very refreshing and light, which is perfect to start the meal or end.

   Happy Anniversary! 🎉✨ We’re so honored you chose to celebrate with us and loved that little personal touch—special moments deserve special details! 💕 The burger is definitely a great one to share, and we’re so glad you enjoyed the TUNA TOSTADA (such a refreshing pick!). We appreciate your feedback on the miso soup, and we’ll keep that in mind for future visits. Hope to celebrate with you again soon! 🥂🍣 Merissa White General Manager Momotaro & The Izakaya
