Located within the bustling Egate complex in Gelugor, Egate Izakaya brings a slice of Japan to Penang’s dining scene. This stylish yet casual eatery is designed like a traditional Japanese izakaya, featuring warm wooden décor, dim lighting, and lively background chatter that makes it perfect for after-work drinks or relaxed gatherings with friends.

The menu offers a broad selection of Japanese comfort food — from skewered yakitori and fresh sashimi to sizzling teppanyaki dishes and donburi bowls. Drinks are a big part of the experience too, with Japanese beers, sake, and cocktails rounding out the offerings. Portions are generous, and prices are reasonable for the quality and setting.

Service is friendly and efficient, with staff quick to recommend crowd favorites like grilled salmon belly, karaage chicken, and the mixed sushi platter. Whether you’re dropping by for dinner or late-night bites, Egate Izakaya delivers a satisfying blend of food, ambiance, and energy that keeps diners coming back.
