Yoshitomo Nara Izakaya

I've been coming here for years and it's always been packed. It feels like fight club of some sort where if you don't know anyone you feel like you don't belong. The sign board outside perpetually says the place is fully booked every day. But still you get people trying their luck trying to to get in just for the experience. Once you are in you will be greeted with the most authentic izakaya food that you have ever had. Everything is fresh. Everything is cooked in front of you. Everything is delicious. Do what you need to to get a spot in here, you won't regret it.

as a big yoshimoto nara fan, this is the place that’s been on my bucket list for awhile now. the atmosphere is top notch, very rock and roll vibes, i absolutely love the music and energy in this place. food is also pretty good!

Our awesome friend from Tokyo brought us to this amazing place, and we had an amazing time! It’s the coolest spot in Tokyo! With good vibes, rock music, and great food, what more could you ask for? —Recommend: Avocado Steak and bacon wrapped with green pepper and cheese

Once in a while, you come across these quirky little restaurants that remind you why you love Tokyo so much. This is one of them. It captures a certain, grunge Americana vibe that I don’t even find back in the States, but for some reason Japan continues to carry. But I’m all here for it. There are old rock band posters on the wall, a cigarette vending machine, and just overall nice homey vibes with the floor seating on the second floor. I should mention the food. The skewers are solid, but man, that lamb skewer was my favorite dish. The beef radish soup was also great.

I love the punk energy. The avocado steak is EVERYTHING!!! Vegetarian options were so tasty 👅 Definitely make a reservation if you plan on visiting. (and visit the toilet when you’re there) 🤘🧨

One of our favourite visits, chef and servers were so friendly and kind, food was absolutely amazing, and the atmosphere was perfect! Reservations are 100% needed, if you don’t have a phone number to call ahead, you can go in person and make a reservation for another date.

Great overall. Love the vibes! Owner and other staff are all pretty nice and warm, and can communicate in English. - food is delicious; - allows smoking; - accepts credit card; - better make reservation ahead of time.

Very cool place... couldn't find it at first, it's kind of not publicized as you walk up to the address which is probably a good thing. A Yoshitomo Nara welcome art face tells you you're in the right spot. The Atmosphere is fun, playing punk music and some cool people to welcome you in... coming from Brooklyn, NY I felt comfortable right away... Food was great... I loved the avacado steak... yeah, I was like what!!! It's so good... and the mackerel fish was tasty... fun atmosphere, food and vibes!!!!
