Editor’s Note
Last updated 30 May 2026
Our take on Monzen Izakaya and Grill is that it's a popular neighbourhood spot, particularly for families and residents in the Dairy Farm area, drawing significant crowds even with its out-of-the-way location.
We see consistent praise for their yakitori, with specific call-outs for the chicken thigh and tsukune, described as juicy and smoky, though some note a 20-30 minute preparation time.
The chicken skin yakitori also receives high marks.
While the menu is extensive, covering everything from sushi and ramen to dons and ceremonial matcha, some diners feel the overall food quality, particularly the aburi salmon roll and karaage, doesn't quite match the expectations set by its popularity and price point (around $120 for two with drinks).
However, the freshness of items like hamachi and flying fish sashimi is highlighted by others.
Service is generally described as friendly and efficient.
We think Monzen Izakaya is a reliable choice for a casual Japanese meal, especially if you're in the area and have a craving for well-executed yakitori.
Best for a relaxed Sunday lunch to avoid the weekend dinner crowds.

What customers say
Monzen Izakaya and Grill is a popular spot, especially on weekends, drawing large crowds for its extensive Japanese menu.
Customers consistently praise the yakitori, particularly the chicken thigh and tsukune, for being well-grilled, juicy, and smoky, often highlighting it as the star dish.
While some find the food, like the karaage, to lack distinct flavor or the aburi salmon roll to be less fresh, the overall sentiment leans positive, with many appreciating the fresh ingredients, friendly service, and good value for the price, despite occasional waits during peak hours.
