Izakai Bar & Eatery is a Japanese-style restaurant and bar in the Bayfair Dining Precinct at 19 Girven Road, Mount Maunganui. Inspired by traditional izakaya dining, it blends Māori and Japanese influences with a local Kiwi twist, and was founded by friends who share a love of food and community.
The food is served as shared plates, and the bar offers handcrafted cocktails and a small wine list. The website offers online booking and vouchers, and displays logos for the Denizen Best 2025, the Bay Hospitality Awards and the Restaurant Association; the specific awards are not described. Capacity and function options are not published, so group bookings should be confirmed directly (kiaora@izakai.co.nz, 07 572 0484).
Shared-plate dining suits relaxed group dinners in the Tauranga and Mount Maunganui area.
