After a roughly one and half year run it appears that Izakaya Ida has closed.  I discovered Ida a year ago and really enjoyed there entrees, but at that first visit their dumplings offerings were restricted to Takoyaki, but man those Takoyaki were good.  Their tofu dish and their sesame broth ramen were so good.  I tried it again a few months ago and again their food was excellent and they had expanded their dumpling offerings, including their fabulous grilled Shumai. The truth is though the restaurant was usually pretty empty and for some reason never seemed to get a lot traction, which I assume is the reason for its closure.  I’ll miss you Izakaya Ida.
