Customer Reviews
This was my first time at Fish & Bird Sousaku Izakaya. It was very busy and I would recommend a reservation. The food was good, but somethings were a bit dry or tasted overcooked. I ordered the Sencha because it was cold. The Sean Bean & Corn Tempura was good, but oily. The Ika Karaage was okay. The Chicken Katsu was a bit dry. The Deluxe Sashimi Moriawase was good, but some of the cuts were tough or tasted weird. Over a good experience at this body establishment. Service was good.
Went here for my husband's birthday. We both had the pre-set menu. Food: The sea bean and corn tempurawith a side of matcha. They were tasty, but no different from the tempura I've had at other restaurants. The sashimi salad was also tasty, but nothing special. Just a salad with a few pieces of various raw fish. I had the Salmon Kasuzuki. I have to say this was actually delicious! A perfect blend of sake and miso with the salmon. It was a lovely cut of meat and perfectly cooked. Delicious! My husband has the Wagyu Bikini Hamburg steak. I would say it was nothing special. A big chunk of hamburger. Good quality hamburger and not too oily, but still just ground beef. The Matcha Tiramisu was tasty. Not too sweet. Overall, I'd say a little over priced for what you get. About half the dishes s
This was my second time at Fish and Bird. I love it each time I come. There’s a lovely, calm atmosphere, the food is delightfully unique, a playground for the pallet. We always order the house tofu and the Fried oysters, and this time got the sushimi platter. It took a little while to get the platter but it was worth the wait. The fish was delectable, high quality and fresh. We closed our dinner with the cold udon and that was refreshing as well.
Came back last night when we used to love this place for sashimi, but it was soooo bad. It was clearly not fresh because when you touch it, the fish falls apart in flakes. The quality was clearly previously frozen sashimi and worst of all, I got sick!!!!! 🤢 😭 still in pain and hoping that I don’t need to see the doctor
The deluxe sashimi is amazing. Chef Aki Prepared a beautiful dish with incredible flavor and attention to detail. The sashimi melts in your mouth. Will definitely be back.
