Had the most amazing food and the service was great, got very good food/drink recommendations from staff. Salmon aburi was amazing and the Yuzu sour is too easy to drink!

Food was amazing and well worth the visit. Music was very strange though for the setting ( loud pop music) and didn’t suit the venue or quality if the food.

Food quality is great, but the quantity is quite small, and the price is very high.

We visited Izakaya Hosaku during a short lunch time, the food is really good. We ordered 2 Washoku Sets, Wagyu Fried Rice, and Mackerel Fried Rice, all of them are really good and tasteful. The service was quick and all the staff are friendly as well. We would definitely go back!

Enjoyed the hospitality here. Staff is friendly and service was great. Ordered the Sashimi tasting box which boasts 9 different mixed seafood which was very fresh! I also got their sushi omakase which contain 12 pieces of sushi and they’re delicious! Will come back again.

It was a Japanese "izakaya" with Japanese staff. We ordered the shorter of the shared courses. I lived many years in Japan. One of the staff, Sayaka, was a graduate of the same university as my Head of Dept (at another university where I taught for 14 years in Japan)...it seemed a small world moment. And another worker there was from Jakarta - an aunt of mine moved there as a toddler from Bangka Island early post-WWII - all my aunt's family still live in Jakarta - a population nowadays of 30 million. Not quite a small world moment. But a pleasant addition to the evening.

Excellent place, however, music selection could be better for an Izakaya place.

They are true to their word when they say they specialise in sashimi and sushi. But don’t let that fool you with steering away from their cooked dishes. We tried the honey teriyaki chicken and the wagyu gyoza and were blown away. Hats off to the chefs! As for drinks, we opted for cocktails and they were delicious and well balanced. The waiting staff are all warm and friendly. The experience was wonderful in all aspects and it was worth every cent. You’ll be seeing us back very soon.
