The first thing you notice when you walk into Izakaya MAI is the warm, welcoming atmosphere Ito-san has created for his customers. It is a great place to meet with friends and catch up with them while enjoying variety of small-plate appetizers and sake. I think that one of the reasons why people keep going back to Izakaya MAI is its huge selection of Japanese Sake and Shochu. Also, Mai reminds me of Izakaya restaurants in Japan. It’s truly authentic and that’s another reason why Mai is so popular among Japanese people.

At Ramen Dojo, they serve up generous helpings of the ever-popular Japanese import, Ramen. Available in practically any combination you can imagine, each bowl can be easily customized as per your requirements. Diners first choose a base like the soy, garlic pork or soy bean followed by spice levels and then toppings. With a nice array of options, diners can choose anything from fresh seaweed to quail eggs, shitake mushroom and bamboo shoots. The place is tiny and extremely popular, so its a good idea to get here early to avoid a long wait. Just the sheer aroma of the broth and the fragrant spices are enough to work up an appetite. The broth is the secret to the dish and is a rich, savory, salty complement to the perfectly cooked noodles and toppings. Besides Ramen, you can also try their limited appetizers and wash everything down with a chilled Sapporro beer.
