Description

At this popular Izakaya, the atmosphere is lively, though often overshadowed by overwhelming smoke from the grill. While the menu has become more limited in recent visits, the raw fish dishes continue to impress. Many patrons appreciate the value of the happy hour, which offers delightful options at reasonable prices. However, service can falter due to understaffing, leading to long waits and disorganization. While some dishes, like the yakitori and udon, shine with authentic flavors, others miss the mark. Despite its inconsistencies, many still relish the experience and commend the welcoming staff.

Some dishes were very good and some were okay. I’d go again, I’ve only been once. The restaurant itself is very busy and pretty tight. Hard to bring a stroller in if you have a little one. They made it work but it was def tight. Since the restaurant is small, it gets toasty quick during dinner rush. Overall good, but nothing crazy.

We ordered a ton of food and variety and there wasn't a single miss. Seriously you can't go wrong. Just bring a friend and have fun experiencing different things on the menu

Delicious, fresh Japanese food. The Agedashi tofu was wonderful and my friends were very happy with their seafood dishes. Tuna Sushi roll is flavorful and light. Recommend.
