Tokyo izakaya Birmingham in Birmingham

Excepting the price is quite high for the taste of the food , the ramen is not authentic one , soup and the texture of the ramen is not Oky for a Japan ramen. I don’t know why got such high score at google.

It was my first time trying Ramen’s Chicken and was really nice 😍

Ramen is not impressive at all, it’s not even hot. Egg inside is cold from fridge. Nice service though.

Staff are very not respectful, they asked us to leave the table ..

Another beautiful meal with great service and a big smile.

If you want authentic Japanese Food then this is the place for you. The atmosphere is chilled and the staff are friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend the Donburi Waygu Beef with the Egg. The Chefs Japanese Sausage is a real treat :-E

We had the most wonderful experience at Tokyo izakaya. We have never visited before but booked a table as it gets booked up really fast. I can’t stress enough how welcoming and lovely the entire team were. Our waiters were so attentive and the whole dining experience was incredibly relaxed yet professional and prompt and everything else you could want. The setting is beautiful and you can watch the team making the sushi which was really interesting and you could see the freshness and quality of the ingredients used. The food was outstanding, wonderfully presented and literally the best sushi and side dishes we have ever tasted. Overall this restaurant was amazing you can feel the amazing Japanese hospitality and the food was on point.

Great food and service. Salmon yaki and Chicken Katsu bento box was great!

Great food, amazing service, lovely atmosphere

The food and atmosphere were good. What marred my visit was seeing a 10% service charge on the bill that wasn't advertised anywhere beforehand. I'm just so tired of this behaviour. I'm tired of restaurants using service charges and deceit to inflate their prices. If you can't be honest about the cost of goods and services with your customers, you don't deserve to be in business.

Sharing platter Calamari Volcano ok Tonkatsu amazing

Excellent service, with nice, crisp Japanese beers. The tempura was good, the sushi and ramen were fine.

We recently visited Tokyo Izakaya for a birthday celebration, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience. We were a large group, and the staff went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. From the moment we walked in, the attention to detail was amazing, and the entire team was incredibly friendly and accommodating. The food was another highlight. Every dish was packed with flavor and beautifully prepared. Whether you're looking for a special occasion spot or simply want to enjoy delicious Japanese food, Tokyo Izakaya is a place I’d highly recommend.

I’m so sorry but the ramen is below average, especially for that price. I have this tradition of having ramen in every city I go to and choosing the highest rated ones. This is the first time I was deeply disappointed by the quality and the portion despite this being one of the most expensive ramens I’ve had. Very bland base, not enough noodles, toppings could be richer. I am not a big eater at all but I felt the need to have a bite again 30 mins after finishing my meal at your place.

Best Sushi in Birmingham. Reasonable prices.

The restaurant is not very big but the food is really nice.

Chrisy and the team in the Resturant are absolutely amazing, friendly smiling faces and always curtious . The food in this place is just incredibly perfect, I couldn’t change anything on the menu, if you’re after sushi then head this way!!! Menu is so big, it’s hard to choose as all the dishes are deliciously delicious Customer services 10/10 well done Chrissy 🤗

Amazing place to eat ❤️ Food tastes amazing, service is friendly, atmosphere is great and well decorated Had first date here with my bf and have been coming here for over a year on dates still and can vouch that the food and service has always been great. The seating upstairs is a lot better so book in advanced to get a seat but they also do walk ins for downstairs seating which is also good. Really a big fan of their tonkatsu ramen it’s the best I’ve had in UK so far. The bento 🍱 are really good value for money as well 😊 my bf said the eel in the Unagi Don is really good and seasoned well. I’ve recently tried their Ebi tempura and it’s presented and cooked as I expect with the sauce on the side. Thank you for the amazing dining experience !

Nice selection, very polite staff, the appetizers are excellent

I have had sushi all over the UK and globally- I keep coming back to Tokyo Izayaka because it is so good! My partner also agrees. The sushi always tastes authentic and fresh. The hot food is also great. The staff are kind, friendly and attentive. The decor is beautiful. A great little gem for sushi in the Birmingham area.

The nicest ramen I’ve had in the uk, staff were so friendly and helpful, service quick and quality high, will definitely be returning

Found this wonderful restaurant by accident and so happy we did. The service and staff were so friendly and welcoming. Had a choice of unusual cocktails. There were lots of choices on the menu. The food was extremely fresh and delicious. Will be going back again when I next visit Birmingham.

I had a wonderful dining experience at this Japanese restaurant. The sushi rolls were fresh and flavorful, with the perfect balance of ingredients and sauces. The grilled dish was beautifully presented and packed with savory flavors, topped with a delightful crunch.

Having lived in Japan in place called Shibuya outside Tokyo there were a few meals I'd not had since. To my delight they were on the menu and very authentic. Great little place, that I've walked past many times and only visited last night for the first time. Sorry it took so long.

Amazing food! Highly recommend the sushi fresh and authentic!

Great Ramen, which was extremely flavourful and a large portion. Friendly staff and good atmosphere

Great quality sushi and ramen 🍜 for sure we will be back! Thank you for kind and fast service as well 🙏🏻

Very nice food with true Japanese flavour. Super yummy 😋 gorgeous renovation

Went twice in one day as it was so gorgeous. The food was amazing quality and came out quick enough. The servers were all super friendly and more than accommodating for me. Unfortunately got no photos this time but I will be going back for the remainder of my stay. Would highly recommend to anyone who loves Japanese cuisine.

Expensive for what it is. If you have had good sushi then this is average to good compared to london. I’m convinced that people in Birmingham have yet to eat good sushi based on reviews in general. Sushi party comes in a boat. Makes eating it hard. Food stuck to wood on boat. Leaves me wondering how they wash that thing. Didn’t leave the soy bottle. Nobody come refill the soy. Had to chase down staff to get anything. Not once did anyone come ask if we wanted more drinks or refill our water. The beef was £16.80 and there was barely any meat. Wasn’t really cooked as asked either. Left the restaurant still hungry even after a £70 bill. The worst bit is that they add a service charge without asking or permission even when there wasn’t any service at all. Won’t be going back. This isn’t a 5 star experience in any sense. Anyone who rates this place 5 stars you need to question their life experiences. Very disappointed.

The beef was okay, just a bit a dry - in need of some kind of sauce. The ramen was basic. Service was extremely slow.

This is a little gem hidden away from the hustle and bustle of Birmingham. Sushi was super tasty, so was the ramen, katsu curry, and sushi set. Need more broth in the udon though. The decor is fun and vibrant and the service was good. You can use card but pay by cash is cheaper, an increasingly practice in restaurants now. Eaten here several times now but I'm not a fan of adding 10% onto bill without informing you first. This can be over £10. Its also more expensive than most Japanese restaurants I have been to. 4.5 stars.

Nice and friendly staff, good atmosphere and fast service. Food is very filling and tastes great every time.

Me and my daughter went on Sunday and absolutely loved it!. Great staff and atmosphere with a brilliant menu. The food is real quality and has to be my favourite Sushi Bar in the UK

One of my family’s favourite restaurant in Birmingham. I always experience great customer service and even better tasting food !! + wide range of halal options on the menu :)

Nice little Japanese restaurant. Edamame wasn't the greatest, bit disappointed as i do love them. Rest of the food was good!

Place was great. Can’t fault it whatsoever.

Miso Aubergine was fantastic. Service was good. Ramen was very disappointing. Left half of the food. Even complained, yet was charged full amount. Would not return.

5 star all around service was great really fast and the food was top notch.The atmosphere was good vibes all around has to be one of the best places I've ever had food

The three dishes here are Tonkotsu Ramen, Tri Colour Dragon Maki (these two I have tried) and Salmon Sashimi Don. The Tonkotsu Ramen was delicious! The noodles were al dente, toppings were great with three generous, tender slices of chashu which is more than the usual one or two slices that many places offer. The broth was nice, although I feel it did lack a bit of depth in flavour. The Tri Colour Dragon Maki was nice, but I felt that the pieces were definitely on the small side to get a true taste of the dish as the fish is hidden by the rice, sauce and dressing. The dining atmosphere itself was very pleasant with beautiful decor and attentative staff which just made the experience more comfortable. Tonkotsu Ramen - 7/10 Tri Colour Dragon Maki - 5/10

Very nice Japanese restaurant with friendly and accommodating staff. Highly recommend the ox tongue and the wagyu fried rice!

Amazing experience,food delicious,staff extremely friendly and helpful 👌

Went on the off chance without knowing anything about it apart from the reviews looked good on Google.....One of the best meals I've ever had. Everyone at the table came away really impressed. Duck Teriyaki was phenomenal. Will definitely be going here again.

Genuinely the best Japanese restaurant I've eaten at in the UK. Good selection of dishes - skilled sushi preparation, excellent range of traditional dishes, and home comforts too. Always busy, and deservedly so.

Incredibly friendly staff, very engaging with a lovely atmosphere and positive upbeat vibes. Food and drink was served quickly, was attended to when needed very quickly, and the food was divine. Highly recommended

Really nice place, the decor is lovely with the wood panels, sakura and lanterns. Friendly staff and really good food especially the Takoyaki

The food was delicious, there was a lot of choice and the menu had pictures to help us choose. Everything we ate was fantastic. I would and have fully recommended this place to everyone.

They played blue bird!!! And the chicken ramen was amazing

The Food is amazing and the sake are extremely nice

Brilliantly located for pre theatre food. Walked past this eatery many times, always wanted to try the food. Service was excellent throughout the whole meal. Our food was so delicious, varied and so well presented. Cannot wait to return to try more menu options. Highly recommended, a must try, especially if attending The Alex for a show.

Atrocious food for the price charged. Bloody £18.8 for a small portion of beef ramen and mediocre at best, absolute wastage of money AVOID AT ANY COST, go somewhere in China Town instead.

Amazing food and service, such an experience. Highly recommended. 5*

Incredible and authentic food, great atmosphere as well as the service, strongly recommended

I went to Tokyo Izakaya today with my family. Food was absolutely banging, atmosphere was nice, staff really friendly. A bit expensive compared to other Japanese restaurants but all the money was worth it. I will definitely go back again.

As a Belgian in Birmingham and an absolute Japan lover this is one of my favorite Japanese restaurants in EU. Putting it on my favorite list ! 🫶🏻 Amazing fresh edamame, Otoro sashimi,…

We shared 5 dishes and loved every bit of everything! So friendly too. King prawn fried rice changed our lives. Adore.

I met Christine and yui I hope I've spelt your names right? Lovely service exactly what I came for. I went to Tokyo izakaya based on a yakuza game. takoyaki has opened up my taste buds. I'm coming back when it's more quiet to try more of the menu. Hope to see yui and Christine complements to all staff and including the chefs from daz and Steph.

Went here for dinner on a Friday night. Since it was last minute, we walked in and had to wait less than 5 minutes (will make reservation for our next visit!). Saw the good reviews online, and was so happy that it lived up to our expectations! We have been searching for an authentic and great Japanese restaurant here in Birmingham. And Tokyo Izakaya is definitely tick the box! Ordered the Salmon Lover platter (sashimi, nigiri, sushi), Gyu Don and Takoyaki. Everything was so so good. We were impressed with how good the salmon was. So fresh and literally melts in our mouth. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. Had a really amazing experience. Definitely will come back!

We have tried quite a few Japanese restaurants in & out of West Midlands. This one so far is our absolute favourite! Selection isn't massive but it's very good, everyone will find something for themselves! The staff is super nice and smile all the time. Looks like they are genuinely having a good time! We have ordered drinks, chicken gyoza, chicken karage, wagyu sushi, beef ramen and chicken katsu. Every single dish was super delicious and good portion. With hand on my heart, so far it's the nicest food I've had in a long time! As a Japanese food lover I can whole-heartedly recommend this place to everyone. It's very well priced for what you get. We left very full and very happy, the whole staff says goodbye to you as you leave 😊. 11/10

Will not go again, it is quite expensive but not worth in food quality

I can't lie this is just the best Japanese resto I have been to in both London and Birmingham and maybe even Tokyo haha. I always come here at least once a week.

Absolutely love this place cannot fault it " , food is lush and great service pretty place to sit and eat . Thank you 🙏😊

We went here for my friend's birthday after seeing the good reviews on Google and we're not disappointed at all. One of the best Japanese meals I've had, very great location near Grand Central. The staff were wonderfully friendly, warm, welcoming. The restaurant was beautiful. They catered to all of our dietary requirements such as halal food, vegetarian and no alcohol. The food was shockingly delicious and the soy sauce was made in house without alcohol! I am practically stunned at how great it was. And they celebrated his birthday too 😊 100% recommend. Wonderful experience. Definitely going to be coming back. Thank you to the team!

I came here today for a birthday lunch and it was incredible. The food was great, the service was phenomenal, and the whole experience just made my day. Teriyaki salmon and takoyaki were highlights!

Amazing place for everyone. Absolutely lovely staff and wonderful food.

Amazing food with great flavours

The best restaurant in Birminghan. The service was really kind and the food was special. We needed to order an extra dish because everything was delicious. I highly recomend It if you like japanese food.

Very nice food and staff are friendly, it's nice that they give you a fork as well as chopsticks so you can try using them but if you struggle you can use a fork. (Or spoon for ramen dishes)

Very nice place. We had a lovely dinner, the food was great, and the ingredients were high quality. Would recommend.

The food was spectacular, everything we ordered was great, we allowed ourselves to be recommended and it was really very good; The volcano and the golden wagyu are spectacular and the ramen are also very delicious.

Delicious Japanese food, and friendly and helpful staff, there are limited seats so booking is advised

Great place to eat, Food was wonderful and the service was excellent. Would 100% recommend 5*

The food was really good, but what made it really enjoyable was the service - they were very patient while we took ages to arrive and order, super friendly and welcoming, and handled our table perfectly. The barman overheard that it was my nephew's birthday and made a fuss of him, his favourite flavour mochi with a candle in. Would definitely recommend. It'd be a great spot for a casual date night, and we had a great time as a bigger table too. We'll be back for sure 😃

My misconception of Japanese cuisine is cleared. It's so much more than just sushi. This place makes me want to travel to Birmingham from London just for an exceptional meal. Thanks.

Great Japanese dishes.Good service and discount for cash payments!

Food is amazing, fresh and delicious. Salmon and Bluefin Yuna Sushimi amazing, the Chicken Ramen, best I've ever had in Birmingham!!! Can not wait to return!!!

Amazing food, great service. Will definitely visit. Highly recommend the secret lemonade.

My wife and I went here for lunch. It's an amazing place, lovely food and excellent service. We'll definitely be coming back.

Great decor, staff was friendly. The restaurant was smaller than expected. We did feel the table were quite close together, but they do have more seating upstairs. We had tonkotsu ramen and karaage, and the food was good. But it didn't exceed our expectations. Overall, we had a good meal.

Lovely food, very fresh food would highly recommend the ramen but they have amazing sushi too!!

Superb food and excellent authentic green tea.

Best Japanese food I’ve had in Birmingham, the staff were exceptional.

That tofu was just something! 🔥🔥 Every dish we took had exceptional taste. I would definitely come back.

Really nice food and service in Birmingham. Little expensive but Japanese food tends to be. Really enjoyed the udon soup and sushi. Toilets clean and the servers were kind to my young daughter. Thanks!

Amazon restaurant with great food. The seafood ramen was really great. Would definitely recommend!

The food was amazing! and they have an amazing halal option too! Sushi was so fresh, chicken was so juicy and tender, gyudon was very fulfilling, and the service was superb! Highly recommend!

The portions are massive and the food is so filling!

great food, great service, lovely staff would recommend

Absolutely stunning food, decor and staff. Thanks!

Upon each visit all staff members have been very attentive and welcoming, the food and service is always on point.

Very nice authentic Japanese food, excellent service, beautiful decoration

Amazing atmosphere with lovely staff, food was fantastic 😋😋 will definitely be coming again :))!

Food was high quality and they've thoughtfully made everything that they could halal.

Food was amazing and the rose cocktail fab 👍🏽

Amazing food, amazing service, amazing atmosphere. Best sushi I’ve ever had and I’ve tried sushi all around the world.

Excellent food as always with great service.

An authentic Japanese experience, lovely food. Patience is a virtue so definitely practice it, the food was made fresh so that in mind, it was expected maybe about 15 minutes wait approximately. I had the chicken and salmon bento, It was a great selection that came with rice, salad and miso soup it's a large serving so definitely be prepared. The wife ordered chicken ramen, the broth tasted so good. All in all I would recommend, hopefully I will visit it soon. We arrived at 7pm on a Saturday and there was a queue of people waiting to be served, that's how busy and popular it is. So book a reservation where you can as the restaurant will only allow walk in once it reaches max reservations.

Amazing food and great service! Everything I had tasted delicious, I especially enjoyed the takoyaki :)

Came here in the evening one night and it was the most tastiest ramen we’ve had. Then came again for our lunch break and tried their chicken karaage, which was light and airy. For our main, we had the classic pork ramen which was so flavoursome! We opt to take the sushi to go beforehand as had to get back.

A lovely experience, after a recommendation from a friend. A varied menu with lots of interesting and authentic options. Great flavours, very fresh and friendly.
