Review Summary

Gyoka Izakaya Sushi Bar is described in reviews as a place with incredibly fresh ingredients, a warm cozy atmosphere, and attentive service that makes guests feel welcomed. The menu receives praise for freshness and variety, with standout items like jalapeno hamachi sashimi, sashimi mixes, distinctive rolls, and well presented sushi and hot dishes. Many note an authentic Japanese vibe and reasonable prices for the quality, making it a frequent choice for casual dinners and special nights. The intimate size is highlighted as a reason to book ahead since it tends to fill up quickly.

Can't stress enough how great this place is. It's cozy & has a homey feel to it, the staff is friendly & they make good food. I'd recommend The Jalapeno Hamachi sashimi to anyone, it's not spicy & so good. Also the Supper for 2 Deal is a good quantity of food for 80$, could probably satisfy three people even. There was mackerel, tempura & chicken, with ice cream included.

We really love this place- about the food & atmosphere & staffs.
It's very cozy & very Japan . We enjoy the Saturday night a lot . My husband normally doesn't eat much sashimi & sushi but he likes it a lot here .

I went to have supper with some friends for a special occasion. The restaurant has a very cozy & comfortable ambiance, you feel at ease right away.
We had multiple appetizers, but the jalapeno hamachi was by far the most incredible thing i had eaten recently. The rolls are unique, but traditional enough you don't feel lost.
The service staff is young, funny & makes you feel at ease.
I cannot mention enough how the quality of the products is incredible & can be felt & tasted through every bite.

Really fun & cozy place. All sushi made to order & portions are large. Rolls are bigger than usual. Very authentic. Sake is available on tap & for cheap. Great small place. Make sure to reserve! Limited seating!
