Zu Izakaya

Zu Izakaya bills itself as a neighborhood izakaya serving a casual mix of sushi, ramen, and late-night bar food, with daily happy hour windows and takeout-friendly sake bomber specials. The Tempe location is one of several under the same New Culinary Concepts group, alongside Paradise Valley, ASU-area, and Gilbert spots. Reviewers highlight its variety, reasonable pricing, and appeal as a late-night destination.
