Kozu Izakaya

I had such a great experience at Kozu Izakaya. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and every dish felt thoughtfully prepared. The skewers were especially good—perfectly seasoned, tender, and packed with flavor. It’s the kind of spot where you can relax, enjoy great food, and feel genuinely taken care of. I’m already looking forward to my next visit.

If you’re looking for real Japanese food done right, Kozu Izakaya is definitely worth checking out. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, giving you that genuine Japanese izakaya vibe where you can relax, eat well, and enjoy good company. Service was friendly and attentive. Love every single details that was sprinkled around from the food, to the decorations. The menu is well curated, and every dish we tried was flavorful, well balanced, and beautifully presented. Definitely a place worth visiting.

If you’re looking for a place that’s open late, Kozu Izakaya is the perfect choice. Every dish we tried was delicious. They have a great variety of sake, and the staff are super friendly and knowledgeable, they gave us excellent food and sake recommendations^.^

Enoki mushroom wrapped with thinly sliced bacon and the shrimp were my favorites. Cute spot and friendly service

They do get busy, but I was able to get in since I came right at opening time. I got a bar seating since the seating area is small. I got their omurice ($15.50) along with skewers of grilled oyster mushrooms ($3.50), tongue ($4.95), chicken hearts ($3.50), chicken livers ($3.25), and negima with green onions. The meat were seasoned nicely and not overcooked. Their omurice is good, the ketchup based fried rice had a good amount of vegetables. They had little jars of pickled mustard greens, matcha sea salt, and wasabi salt. No reservations or online ordering. The staff is nice and the place is clean.
