"Izakaya" is a Japanese term that means a Japanese Gastro pub. Good to know because a few Atlanta friends were thinking all of the "Izakayas" here were some how related because of that word. We went to Brush Izayaya in Decatur on a Friday night and it was packed! Lots of energy and excitement, great bar area too. Note: They do have their own lot. I made this mistake and parked across the street and paid. After sending back the sauvignon blanc I ordered we decided on sake, which was pretty good. Pricey, but good. We had a few small sushi dishes (soft shell crab roll, salmon sashimi) which were decent but I was left still hungry so ordered the pork belly rice. When you ask for soy sauce you get instead a soy sauce mister (spray bottle). We couldn't decide if they didn't want to let us use more soy or not. There were four of us and we all finished our meals before our one friend had her dish brought to the table. Luckily they comped this and also gave us a dessert. Food was good, but was pretty expensive in my opinion. Will try other sushi spots in the area first but great bar scene to check out.
