What to Order
Izakaya Shrimp Pasta
A unique pasta dish featuring shrimp, praised for its delicious flavor and being a consistent favorite.
"My husband and I have been here a few times now and always have a great experience. Our absolute must have dish is the Izakaya Shrimp Pasta. We go crazy for it every time and are always tempted to order two!"

Calamari
Crispy and well-cooked calamari, often highlighted as a great starter.
"Calamari was delicious, crispy and the meat was not overdone."
Deborah R
Pineapple Bun Smash Burger
A distinctive burger served on a soft pineapple bun with beef patties and a tangy oyster mayo.
"the stand out was DEFINITELY the pineapple bun smash burger — the patties were so beefy and they weren’t dry at all, there was a delicious cold tangy oyster mayo, cold fresh tomatoes, and a very soft pineapple bun with a crispy flaky (and a bit salty!) top. all the flavours came together really well, it was the perfect balance of meaty patties and refreshing sauce / veggies, all sandwiched between a unique, airy bun."

Hayden MacDonald
Oxtail Mac and Cheese
A rich and comforting mac and cheese dish with oxtail, though some find the portion size small.

Courtney G
Patties (Brisket/Oxtail)
Savory Jamaican patties with various fillings, often served with an addicting garlic sauce.
"The patties were lovely, the shrimp pasta was bomb, and so was the pineapple burger. Delicioso!"
