If you are willing to wander just a bit further I can highly recommend this Izakaya. My wife and I eat there all the time -- the Karage is perfect, the fish is always super fresh, the pasta is amazing -- but the best part is the owner - Johnny. He and his family are there most nights and it's a very popular place with locals because the food quality is outstanding and the prices are very reasonable. Oh - and the Asahi is ice cold!
