Kyodai Izakaya delivers authentic Japanese pub dining with a warm, immersive atmosphere and a welcoming, energetic crowd. The menu spans ramen, curry, tempura, gyoza, takoyaki and sashimi, with crowd favorites like duck tataki, karaage and udon drawing frequent praise. Sake, cocktails and warm house sake complement the dishes, while the service is consistently friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. The decor and vibe recall a traditional izakaya, making it a great option for groups, friends or a casual night out. Reservations are helpful on busy nights as the place can get lively, yet staff keep things moving smoothly. A few items may be smaller or pricier, but the overall quality, flavor and memorable experience leave guests eager to return.
Dishes are great, tastes good & nice presentation, & the portion size is on the smaller side. Amazing atmosphere & really chill service by Eddy & all staffs!
Authentic Japanese flavors & incredibly warm service! The tempura shrimp here is a must-try ; each piece is literally the size of a hand & perfectly crispy without being greasy. All the dishes tasted fresh & genuine, & the staff made the experience even better with their friendliness & attention. A great place to chill & meet friends!

A solid 3.8/5 . Would be higher if every dish was on par but some were really there specialty & others are alright but a bit pricy & lackluster compaired to those that specialise in those items... (like a sea food restaurant for thise dishes or a ramen place for those... etc.). Quality was a solid 4/5 for the most parts. Quantity wasn't for all dishes . BUT if you ask them there specialty & popular dishes they were a solid 4/5 . But I rate as a overall place. So taking consideration of all of the above it lost a tiny bit from the 4/5. Still a decent experience for this little place.
Absolutely loved Kyodai Izakaya! The food was incredibly good - the fried tempura was light & crispy, the curry katsu was full of flavor, & the sashimi platter was chef's kiss! Their cocktails & mocktails were also so, so good. Our table was filled with endless delicious dishes, & everything was pure perfection. Amazing service & the sweetest hospitality, can't wait to go back!!!!
We love izakayas & Japanese food.
This one has fun ambiance, friendly service & excellent seat/table spacing.
We particularly enjoyed the takoyaki (octopus filled dough balls), the Gohanmono (eel rice bowl), & the Katsu dishes (kind of like Japanese schnitzel) - both the regular & curry version (my partner thought his was not hot enough, temp-wise).
We had a great time… fun place for an enjoyable night out. I thought it was well/accurately priced.
Definitely want to return for the Gohanmono & maybe some more tempura for starters, & we have yet to try the korroke (mashed potato croquettes), & the karaage (fried chicken)…
Lots of variety on the menu! 👍
Such a great place! We got dishes to share & they were so friendly & prompt. Food was amazing! Will be back for sure. Plus they have mocktails, extra good.

Love the vibe in this place. They serve delicious Japanese dishes that you'll surely love. People are so nice & the place is well decorated. You'll feel transported to Japan! Will definitely go back.
Good Izakaya vibes with an impeccable service as always. The squid is well grilled & very fresh. The Okonomiyaki is my favorite ~
It's always nice to have a sake, plum wine, or sapporo to balance well with the food!
For a Wednesday, it's a perfect place to drink cold sake & relax. I may recommend making a reservation if it's during the weekends, though, since it's busier, but worth to pass by & try some new dishes
i had an incredible time with my girl friend!! we dined , had some cocktails (highlight of the night: order the MOUNT FUJI !! the cocktail comes with a show 😊) we really enjoyed their tapas (takoyaki , tempura, etc) & main dishes! the staff was so nice & let us take our time to eat & chill 🤤
I only ate the main dishes & they were OK. But the SERVICE. MAN THE SERVICES WAS FIRE. THAT MAN KNEW HIS CITIES. great guy! Also the aesthetic is amazing. ( Photos attached). If you want a place to chill & drink with friends I would go here for the vibes. P.S park at the movie theatre.

I had a great time ! Kyodai is honestly a hidden gem with authentic Japanese dishes & a warm ambiance. The sashimi was fresh, & my favorite dishes were the calamari & I believe fried purple sweet potatoes.
Also, both servers were adorable the entire night. I definitely recommend the place
Kyodai Izakaya is a fantastic spot with delicious, authentic Japanese dishes & a cozy atmosphere. The staff is friendly & attentive, making every visit enjoyable. Highly recommend!
Kyodai Izakaya exceeded all my expectations with its impeccable service & mouthwatering dishes! A special shoutout to Eddy, who went above & beyond by accommodating us with a custom drink change. His attention to detail & warm hospitality truly stood out. The katsu chicken with curry rice was nothing short of divine. Every bite was pure ecstasy, perfectly cooked, & bursting with flavor. To top it off, they surprised me with a delightful green tea cake to celebrate my birthday, which was both thoughtful & utterly delicious. Kyodai Izakaya is a must-visit for anyone looking for exceptional Japanese cuisine paired with outstanding service. I'll definitely be back!
Thank you Eddy for the amazing service! The food was excellent, the service was great, & the atmosphere was superb! The decor is super warm & inviting, the music was classic Jpop which I really enjoyed. Definitely coming back to try more dishes & some sake. Highly recommend!!
This is a must-visit for authentic Japanese cuisine. The cozy atmosphere, delicious dishes like sashimi & yakitori, & a great selection of sake make it a standout. Friendly & attentive service adds to the overall excellent experience. Highly recommended!
Great place to eat, the dishes were delicious & good value for money. We were at a large table, the staff got lost in the orders & forgot some. The servers remained very friendly.
Every other week I find myself at this amazing restaurant! The food is amazing;I recommend their noodle dishes, & the drinks are great too. The atmosphere is very rustic & cozy; a perfect spot for a date or a night for some drinks & good food.
