Island Izakaya

LOCALS LOVE THE noisy quirky vibe of Izakayas in Tokyo, so we’re thrilled that we have our own little Izakaya grill spot on the island. Chef Kenji from Japan helped set it up, so you’re sure to have the best authentic Japanese dishes on the menu.

Simple yakitori skewers go for Php70, and the mains are from Php350 to Php400. While all the bowls on the menu are popular, I seem to keep ordering the salmon donburi or rice bowl. Then, I share with friends a side of Aburi oysters or korokke. Plus yakitori, including Momo skewers, our personal fave on the list. Island Izakaya also has signature highballs, Japanese-inspired cocktails, and sake shots, so it’s a good spot for weekends, downing a few before hitting the island clubs.
