It's was a beautiful dim restaurant with subtle music. It was not busy on a Saturday night. The server was informative and helpful. Service was fast. The food was yummy. The unagi eel was my favorite. The fried potatoes were crisp to perfection.

Wow! The architecture of this place to begin with is stunning. So cool and fun to look at. The food was amazing. Filling, flavorful and fresh! The rolls were so yummy and our waiter offered excellent service and attention. The apps came out fast and the main courses were a bit slower but it seemed so only one waiter was working. However we thoroughly enjoyed the good and I highly recommend this place to all sushi lovers.

Tried Leezakaya with friends and here are my thoughts. The decor and ambiance is very nice with several areas for tables. There is a bar and a sushi bar where patrons can sit as well. The food is Japanese pub style with sushi and other traditional items The cocktails were good. The less impressive was the service. It took a long time for a server to get our order in (unsure if they were understaffed). Then the food came out way too quickly as we ordered appetizers and entrees and they didn't give time to finish appetizers before mains were served. This made our table overly crowded. Hopefully they can figure out this for future visits. The bento box I ordered was very filling. Next time I'd skip appetizers and just get an entree as the portions were much larger than expected. There is plenty of parking as they have their own lot and overflow for the strip mall adjacent.

Checked out this newly remodeled space. Theo is inside. Delicious shrimp tempura and hot sake. Perfect date night. Highly recommend. I want to have my birthday party here. The various spaces look perfect!

Beautiful modern luxury Japanese restaurant vibe. We got some skewers, shishite peppers, sushi, oyster shooters, grilled octopus, uni pasta, chestnut cake, and matcha tiramasu. Their shishito peppers have parmesan cheese and it's fusion. Strongly recommend sharing Uni pasta. Grilled pasta comes with a huge salad. Service was alright.

Delicious sushi, phenomenal presentation,and crafted with quality ingredients! Top Items: Jalapeño Hamachi, Salmon Nigiri, Hokkaido Uni Nigiri, and Unagi Nigiri. Sweet treat lovers get the matcha tiramisu! If the head chef doesn't mind sharing the recipe, my DMs are open :) Our server was attentive and took care of us very well! Ambiance was clean, modern, and sleek with a good playlist. Reminds me of one the speakeasy's I went to in Tokyo. I will say with the smaller details it can use refining. Such as a menu redesign, and how the check is given at the end of the meal can be elevated to match the vibe. Regardless, of my critiques my rating is for the food and service! This place was great and can't wait to come back!

Good food and a great environment. As you walk into this restaurant it feels like you are walking into a Japanese diner. The decor and furniture has an authentic feel. The only thing missing was the hostess yelling, "irasshaimase!". I enjoyed eating here and look forward to coming back. The presentation of these plates looked better but my family was hungry and didn't give me much time to take pictures. The place is a bit hidden but worth going to.

I have visited Leezakaya a handful of times since they opened. While the food is still good, it's definitely not as good as it used to be. On our recent visit, we ordered regular edamame and there was random individual ramen noodles hiding within the pods. While it wasn't really an issue for me, it could be for someone who has an allergy. I do like that they add sugar to their soybeans. Their lychee fresh martini is pretty tasty. Definitely a must get during happy hour. I'd probably skip the $1.50 oysters, they left a lot to be desired. Definitely needed something more. The tako wasabi is still as good as the first time. Lunch menu is a good deal. I really enjoyed their negitoro don, however it doesn't come with uni anymore and that's disappointing considering the menu still states it does. When I asked the server about it he said that it never came with uni. I wasn't going to argue about it. Service was really good on this last visit. He was very attentive. As many reviews have stated, the ambiance is beautiful. Very clean and modern. There really isn't anything similar in the area, so I'd definitely give it a visit.

Went there recently for happy hour as they opened and I was amazed of how gorgeous the interior is. I love the architectural aspect to it. Their happy hour menu was pretty impressive. I tried most of the items and they were delicious. Their raw fish was fresh and decently sized compared to other places. I want to come back again soon to try other items on their menu. The service was great and our waiter was very attentive and helpful.
