Izakaya is typically a small bar/ eatery where office workers in Japan go to for a drink and some grilled food in skewers with colleagues.
However, this Izakaya 老时光烧肉酒肴 is very family friendly. While they still have the typical function of serving alcohols to adults, the food menu is pretty extensive. So much so that we came here for 2 nights just to try out different items. But be prepared to wait during peak hours.
Apart from great food, they have superb service. Especially from the shop manager.
Incident 1
When I dropped my chopstick in the floor, the next one came in at split second. I’m not kidding you. And the manager was actually stationed at the counter right in front of the shop. But his action was so quick that I was left rather stunned.
Incident 2
Another incident involved my son. While we were about to leave the eatery, his nose bled suddenly. As parents, the first reaction was to clean him up and made sure he was fine before leaving. When we paid at the counter, the same guy asked if my son was fine. Mind you, we were seated at least 3 – 4 tables away from the front counter and the whole environment was rather noisy and busy.
We returned 2 days later and the same guy manager actually remember us. If this is not good services, I dunno what is it.
We found this gem on Google Map. Most of the reviews that they have was really wonderful. Do give this a try when you visit Hualien the next time.
