The Izakaya Lounge est situé sur le niveau souterrain de Momotaro. L'ambiance du restaurant et ses assiettes à partager style pub, vous font sentir comme si vous étiez sur la rue Yokocho à Tokyo. Le lounge, qui rappelle les ruelles de la ville, est muni d'un bar central orné de menus peints à la main en japonais, de néons tamisant les lieux et de signaux de rue typique de Tokyo. Tout cela crée une atmosphère rappelant les plus célèbres marchés noirs d'après-guerre de Tokyo. Sombre, énergique et répondant à toutes les attentes, l'Izakaya offre en outre un bar de 30 places, avec des cocktails artisanaux, sakés et une sélection de qualité de whiskys japonais. PRENDRE NOTE : Le menu de la salle à manger du Momotaro n'est plus disponible dans le Izakaya. Pour consulter le nouveau menu Izakaya, s'il vous plaît, cliquer sur l'onglet du menu.

Food was delicious. Service was attentive. The only issue was where we were seated. After booking a month in advance I just expected that our table would be in a dining area. Instead we were sat in what appeared to be a small waiting room which was more like a throughout where people entered and exited fro/to the upstairs restaurant. When the door was opened we also caught cold gusts. It was also close to the check-in area so when tables weren’t ready it turned into a default waiting area. It felt very invasive due to the traffic. I couldn’t help but feel like we were on display. I know the feel is supposed to mimic something different but instead it just felt strange and awkward. I’d return again but in booking stress a table in another area.

Our cocktail were bad, not very flavorful, weak, definitely not worth it at $15. Service was extremely inconsistent and we never really got an explanation of the menu. Food was a mixed bag, The hamachi collar and burger were both good but everything else was forgettable. We won’t go back

We got the burger, edamame, and chachan rice as well as two sake flights. All the food was amazing. We personally were fans for the dreamy clouds drink but the other two were good. I did have to ask 3 servers for utensils until we got something so service wasn’t the greatest. We were also say under a speaker at a table in the back corner of the restaurant. Not the greatest spot so it affected the experience as this was a date we were trying to talk and it wasn’t the easiest to hear each other but I imagine it could be better at another table. Overall was a nice experience. A bit on the pricey side and not as decorated as I imagined but I would recommend for the food.

Hi Saul, Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! We're thrilled to hear you loved the food—great picks on the burger, edamame, and chahan rice, and Dreamy Clouds is definitely a fan favorite! 🍶✨ We truly appreciate your feedback on service, and we’ll be sure to address that with our team to ensure a smoother experience. As for the atmosphere, the Izakaya is definitely a lively and energetic space, especially on busy nights, but we completely understand wanting a quieter setting for a date. If you ever join us again, we'd love to find a table that better suits the vibe you're looking for! Thanks again for your thoughtful review—we appreciate the recommendation and hope to welcome you back soon! 😊 Cheers, Merissa White General Manager Momotaro & The Izakaya
