  The Chicken rice bowl is terrible. Since I started with this menu it ruins my whole dinner 🤦🏽‍♂️ plus the waiter was grouchy (the one who wears a glasses) and two waiters for 20 seats is bad management tho just in case that the restaurant wants to improve the management.

  Easily one of the best Izakaya experiences I’ve been at in a longgg time. The sushi was top tier. The skewered meats were cooked perfectly and the staff was beyond helpful and attentive. Will be back VERY VERY soon.

  This is such a special spot that deserves so much attention! Although not everything is "perfect", my dinner was an amazing experience that definitely makes me want to return. The two girls working as hostesses/waitresses are super sweet and the chefs I interacted with are so friendly and fun! I ordered an assortment of items starting off with the tuna pressed sushi. I think each component is very well done - the tuna is fresh, rice is nice, and the yuzu citrus sauce is tasty. But the sauce was a bit overpowering for the roll as a whole and diminished the flavor of the tuna and rice. The crispy rice spicy tuna came out piping hot and crispy, a nice scoop of spicy tuna, and good flavor. Now for those skewers. WOW. The tsukune or meatballs were OUTSTANDING. I could've eaten 10 of those things. And the sauce with the egg yolk was chefs kiss. My other plate with the assortment were all executed well. The short rib was juicy and flavorful, the pork belly tender and soft, chicken was juicy and the chicken heart though a bit tough, had great flavor. Overall, I'd love to come back again
