Awaji Izakaya - Newalla

This place is awesome. Freshest sashimi I've had since I moved to Oklahoma. The gyoza and shiitake miso were very tasty. I WILL be back.

My wife and I recently ate at this restaurant. We ordered 2 cocktails, 4 appetizers and 2 entrées. The cocktails were not very good. The grilled skewers were hard and overcooked. The entrées were even worst. My wife couldn’t eat hers and sent it back (it was comped). My entrée was the fillet mignon. I’m 99.99% certain that the piece of meat that they served me was not filet mignon (and I’ve eaten hundreds of them). I believe it was a cheaper cut of meat that was cut in the shape of a filet mignon. I ate most of my entrée. We had been looking forward to a great meal, but left very disappointed.

Absolutely FANTASTIC all the way around. Service was excellent. We started with the Burrata (one of the specials), the gyoza veggie dumplings, and spicy garlic butter edamame. Moved on to the Duo Osaka Style pressed sushi, then had the Chilean sea bass for an entree. The sea bass was possibly the best we’ve had and the accompanying risotto was to die for. Finished with the bread pudding (another special) and it was delicious. We already can’t wait to go back.

WOW! Delicious. Everything was delicious! Chef/owner greeted us and came back to our table to make sure we were enjoying his food and everything was great. Mia was a fabulous waitress. We never wanted for anything. We will be going back often to try more items. Highly recommend everything we tried tonight. Pork Goyza, salmon crudo, Tonkatsu w/egg fried rice, Gold digger sushi roll, and bread pudding dessert. Even the drink was great. Definitely go try this place. Prices are very comparable but the quality and love of the food is above most. We went for an Anniversary Dinner so over indulged in quantity of items but we were not disappointed in anything

Went here with my wife on my birthday, had an awesome time. I got an Awaji Punch to drink, a good strong choice. We had Enoki Mushroom and Beef Tenderloin skewers with Takoyaki to start, it was all delicious. I got the Kimchi Udon with shrimp and a fried eel roll, my wife had the filet mignon and it was perfectly cooked medium rare. The atmosphere made the night all the more pleasant, and the lighting was just right for drinks and chatting. Our waitress was attentive and friendly, the manager was very kind and was able to tell us a lot about the food. We got a blueberry cheesecake to go, which was really tasty. We will absolutely be going back!
