Feedback on Jigoro. (Hospitality and Gastronomy) located in Perth (Western Australia)
Overview
Stumbling upon Jigoro was like uncovering a hidden gem in Perth. Tucked away on Murray St, this izakaya really captures the essence of those cozy, back street dining bars in Tokyo. You know, those spots that only the locals rave about?
As soon as you walk in, the vibe hits you — warm, lively, and definitely buzzing. And the food! Oh man, it’s pretty darn close to authentic. I mean, have you tried their chicken karaage? It’s crunchy, juicy, and a must for any first-timer. Not to mention their range of sake and Japanese beers adds to the experience.
You might find some dishes a tad on the smaller side, sure, but sharing is part of the fun! Grab a few plates of fried yam or the classic yakisoba, chat with mates, and let the atmosphere sweep you away. Just keep in mind, the place can get crowded, especially on weekends. If you’re thinking of going, reservations are a smart move.
The staff? Super friendly and, well, totally give off that authentic Japanese hospitality vibe. One of them even lit up my day just with a genuine smile! It’s those little touches that make you feel at home, right?
Now, not everything’s perfect. A few folks mentioned some dishes were a bit salty or didn’t pack the flavor punch they expected. And, I’d have to agree with one reviewer — the acoustics can be a bit, shall we say, lively? If you’re planning on having deep conversations, it might take some loud voices to be heard.
But here’s the deal: whether you’re after a casual dinner with friends or a fun date night, Jigoro keeps you entertained with its cozy atmosphere and delightful offerings — and let’s be real, it’s awesome to feel like you’re in Japan for a bit.
And hey, it’s open from 5 PM ‘til 10 PM on weekdays, so there’s plenty of time to enjoy. Just make sure you scoot on over before it gets dark ‘cause the surroundings may feel a bit sketchy at night. Otherwise, you’re in for a treat worth talking about!
