Ukiya Izakaya offers a lively Japanese tapas vibe with a broad, affordable menu that shines during happy hour and all you can eat options, while a number of reviews praise the friendly, attentive staff and stylish, cozy atmosphere. The food is generally good and varied, with standout bites like grilled eggplant, beef short rib in a rich sauce, tasty dumplings, takoyaki and sashimi, and many notes on generous drink selections from cocktails to sake, though some dishes can be over fried or under seasoned and a few orders arrive late or are incomplete in the all you can eat format. Service and speed are inconsistent, with some visits described as fast and welcoming and others marked by slow service or misordered tables, and a few diners felt portions or quality did not always meet expectations for the price. Overall Ukiya Izakaya is seen as a reliable, sociable spot for groups or casual meals, strong for drinks and sharing plates, but potential guests should temper expectations on consistency and dish execution.
Very interesting - definitely would want to come during the happy hour, probably would have been worth the price for their food, but their drinks are absolutely delicious. We had the rainbow bomb, & it's crazy. Also tried a few of the other drinks, very fun night

La story sur Instagram m'a incité à essayer le restaurant mais trop de plats avec friture que je me sentais pas bien. Peut être bien pour les plus jeunes...
Both times I came have been standout. The first was for a fine bowl of noodle. I came alone & it was still a lot of fun. Great music selections. The second for their happy hour with unlimited fried goods like takoyaki balls & deep fried cheese sticks. The accompanying cocktail (mango mojito) was large & delicious & full of fresh mint. The restaurant was packed but it was still easy to have conversations-- great layout. Make reservations though or you might not get a seat.

Les serveurs sont vraiment gentils, la nourriture était quand même bien. S'il y'avait un peu plus d'assaisonnement (surtout dans le porc/poulet), ça sera mieux. Je recommande à ceux qui aime la nourriture asiatique d'y venir.
La nourriture etait tres bonne mais le poulet dans le ramen que j'ai reçu etait froid & un peu sec, mais apart ça la base de soupe & les autres ingrédients dans le ramen étaient très bon. La breuvage etait tres bonne, j'ai pris la Fantasy Ocean. Sucrée mais pas trop sucrée. Le takoyaki etait très bon aussi avec les frites de patate douce. En gros, j'ai trouvé la nourriture ici a Ukiya très délicieux. Le service & l'atmosphere etait tres bonne aussi.

J'ai eu une bonne expérience at cette établissement. Les serveurs était gentil & ne gaspillait pas de temps avec la nourriture. Ils remplissaient l'eau fréquemment & je trouve ça agréable. L'atmosphere était vivant & il a beaucoup d'oeuvre qui représentait bien la culture japonaises. Pour la nourriture, le boisson que j'ai eu, le fantasy océan, était beau & ça goûtait bon. Mais pour le ramen c'est un autre cas. J'ai aimé le bouillon de porc & les nouilles était long & mous. Mais le poulet était dure & sec, les champignons était un peu bizarre & le maïs était ehh. En total je donnerai l'expérience un 7-8/10 & je reviendrai encore!✌🏾
IT WAS AWESOME! THE FOOD WAS REALLY GOOD & IT FELT LIKE I WAS EATING THE BEST RAMEN LIKE IN NARUTO & DONT GET ME STARTED ON THE DRINKS WERE SO GOOOD! GET THE RED DRAGON & FANTASY OCEAN🙏🏼

I've come here a couple of times. The food is really good. My friends & I come for the happy hour, & you really get more than what you pay for. Highly recommend the vegetable dumplings.
Went for the AYCE tapas. The cocktails were very tasty. However, we ordered wings twice. The first order was missing a wing & the second just never came. Asked the server about it & nothing changed. The rest of the tapas was mediocre. Atmosphere was nice though
