the concept

Izakaya Japanese Restaurant - The
Concept

Traditionally, a Japanese Izakaya restaurant is a casual pub featuring small, shareable plates. Often referred to as a “Japanese drinking restaurant,” an Izakaya is the perfect place to meet friends and loved ones for a delicious meal after a long workday.

At Bakuto, we have embraced the Izakaya concept as much as possible. Fans of this style of establishment will be pleased to find traditional Japanese food in Lindenhurst, with menu items such as:

  • Ramen & Udon Noodles
  • Steamed Buns
  • Robatayaki
  • Katsu Sandos

Of course, we needed to add our own flare as well. When you dine in-house, you’ll hear our carefully crafted music playlist comprised of fun rock n’ roll and punk rock from the 1960’s onward.

the design

Our commitment to the traditional Izakaya experience doesn’t end with our food and drinks. We developed a floor plan that fits with the style you would find at most Japanese Pubs. From the banquette seating to our open kitchen design, you can expect an authentic Japanese dining experience. Our gorgeous wallpaper was created by Matt Beckerich of Fountainhead Tattoo Shop. Matt generously took the time to understand the vision for our traditional Japanese restaurant in Lindenhurst and his results were flawless.
