Nice slightly upmarket Japanese restaurant. Servings are smaller than other places but the quality and taste of the food are spectacular. We had the nigiri moriawase (mixed sushi), wagyu beef curry udon (meat was tender and curry broth was delectable, finished every drop), and we had the crispy salmon roll, topped with roe and tempura bits and sauce. In the end it was a perfect serving for both of us, and we had a strawberry lychee soda and a green tea to wash it down. Comfortable and quiet place, perfect for date night, family or small celebrations, and nice view of the lake outside.

Absolutely delicious food! Every dish was beautifully presented and full of authentic Japanese flavours. The ingredients were fresh, and the balance of taste and texture was perfect. The service was equally impressive — friendly, attentive, and professional from start to finish. A wonderful dining experience overall — can’t wait to come back!

Absolutely the best Japanese restaurant in the West—truly authentic and tastes just like Japan! We celebrated our wedding anniversary here and were so glad we found this hidden gem in our local area. The food was incredible, beautifully prepared, and full of flavour. The service was exceptional as well. The staff are warm, welcoming, and genuinely care about their guests. A special shout-out to Rebecca—you are such a sweet, lovely person and made our night extra special. Highly recommend Izakaya Rin for anyone looking for real Japanese cuisine and outstanding service. We’ll definitely be back!
