1. Daya Izakaya is Muslim-owned

Daya Izakaya started as a Muslim-friendly establishment for those who miss Japan and are looking for halal alternatives to the typical Japanese Izakaya experience! The eatery has even gained much popularity among non-Muslims (several of whom are Japanese!) after being introduced by regular Muslim customers. ?
Being Muslim-owned, this eatery knows exactly how to please its Muslim customers! On top of its great location in Jalan Kayu being surrounded by many other halal establishments (which they affectionate call the ‘iconic halal corridor’ ?), there are not just one but two musollahs along the stretch of the shophouses and just beside the open-air carpark for customers to use for their obligatory prayers!
2. Fresh seafood and generous portions every time

If there’s something about Japanese cuisine that puts itself ahead of its competitors, it's the freshness of its seafood ingredients. Daya Izakaya serves fresh seafood and thick sashimi slices, so you know that you’ll be getting your money’s worth! Anyone who’s visited Daya Izakaya will understand how generous they are. ? You won’t be charged for asking for extra soup, gravy, larger scoop of ice cream, extra hot o-cha, or even an extra chunk of ramen noodle! While one might expect that to be the norm for regulars to have that privilege, you’d be surprised that the same generosity is extended to first-time customers too.
3. Enjoy Japanese-style decor
