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.

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.

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.

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

Absolutely a hidden gem! Such great interior decorating and amazinggg food. We came for my birthday dinner and got legit I think 1 of everything on my menu and it was all fantastic! Our waitresses were super kind and very easy to talk too. Would highly recommend coming and trying everything, it was all good. I especially liked the onigiri, eel, and chicken thighs! It was also very reasonably priced at 180 for 4 people including alcohol!

The food was excellent and we are so happy to have more varieties of food selections in our beloved Claremont. This restaurant will do so well with some twists.
. The waiting list > utilize the digital waitlist on it’s website for a grace period of 10 min. This can reduce the staff needs to constantly coming out to manage the guests waiting and marking so they can focus on the onsite services as it is part of Japanese serving culture.
. Menu ordering > as the front of the house staff needs to multitask on many items, the ordering could take some time to be attended. By scanning QR code on the table to place order, this can reduce the wait time and increase the conversation in between the staff and the customer as part of “Izakaya culture”.
. Outdoor sitting > if the grill capacity is allowed, increasing outdoor seating might be a great idea especially in summer time!
Digitizing some small tasks can make huge differences. Hope these most honest opinions can help this restaurant do better and grow stronger.

Walking in felt like i was back in Tokyo!! Not in a disney made up way. The atmosphere is a genuine and tone setting. This a love letter of a restaurant. The team has brought their love of japan here to share. The food is amazing. Everything is authentically prepared and executed. One of my favs was the bacon wrapped enoki, i think I ordered 6 sticks!!! Trust the chef, try some of the menu items you may not be familiar with, they will be worth it. With the food, the atmosphere, and the staff this place is my new go to!
