What TanSea likes about Kagura:
Great little Japanese fusion cocktail bar. Owner matched cocktails to the food we ordered amazing sashimi platter. Loved the intimate feel to the place casual but yummy food and drinks. Can't wait to go back. View all feedback. What Bernice Orn doesn't like about Kagura:
I must say... the atmosphere was a little bit too dark and humid. Didn't have much expectation from the store initially, but the bartender makes us have second thoughts, the drinks he made was very outside my imagination, loved it a lot and goes very well with the food that is served. Definitely will go back for another glass of his specially made cocktail. View all feedback.
