Everything about this place was amazing. All the staff were really friendly and knowledgeable, the setting is cosy but stylish. All the food was incredible - we ordered one of each vegetarian option to share between two, which was plenty. Every dish was exceptional, full of flavour, and we tried ingredients we'd never heard of before. Reasonably priced considering the quality. Cannot recommend enough!

An absolute diamond of a find! The food is imaginative and a very high standard, the service is attentive and very pleasant and the setting is chilled and informal, but classy.Lunch menu was great and not too much to eat midday. We will be booking the evening tasting menu based on the high quality lunch. Local seasonal produce and decent cocktails make this place somewhere to return to.

The quality of ingredients and cooking technique shone through in a fabulous lunch serving at Izakaya. Attentive and friendly service with the chef coming to say hello at the end. Overall a fantastic experience, do not miss if you're visiting York.

Incredible Japanese inspired food with a yorkshire twist. Wonderful blend of traditional Japanese dishes that use a lot of locally sourced ingredients. The duck was a highlight for sure

Really fantastic food, beautiful but understated decor and presentation. I was a little concerned about my range of choice being a vegetarian, but in fact this was no issue at all because the options were all just delicious and I’d certainly recommend vegetarians visit.My only two criticisms—which are relatively minor— was 1) the choice of music, which felt a bit out of step with the vibe of the restaurant. Ambient music might be better suited! and 2) There was a couple that came in looking for a seat and I couldn’t help notice they were refused fairly unapologetically due kitchen capacity— which I understand, but I thought the refusal could have been done a little more politely.Overall, could not fault the food and the hard work of the chefs, really just wonderful. Just a few minor things needed to smooth out to make it perfect!

It's easy to do fusion; slam together multiple cuisines and hope for the best. It's difficult to do it well, but Izayaka have managed it fantastically, serving up innovative and well executed dishes fusing the principles, styles and flavour combinations from Japan with thoughtful touches of modern British (with an emphasis on local Yorkshire produce).Served with care and love in an environment that evokes minimalist Japanese aesthetics yet retains a warm cosy feel.Top marks, guys. Looking forward to the Winter Omakase already!

Went here for the first time as a party of 5 and we all were very impressed with the whole experience. Beautiful and tasty food, very attentive and friendly staff that explained the menu very clearly. The atmosphere is classy but nice and chill. Pictures show the chicken thigh yakitori (starter), the tonkotsu ramen (main), cucumber and daikon salad (side) and the cold dressed noodles (side). Will definitely be returning here again. :)

The food has left me speechless. Absolutely amazing. It’s a set menu but don’t let that put you off. Every plate is packed full of flavours! The staff are friendly and welcoming. A very romantic calm vibe! Loved it
