" The menu had a lot of interesting options, many not found elsewhere. I really enjoyed the variety and sense of authenticity. However, service felt a bit lacking on busy nights, and the prices were high compared to other locations. Nonetheless, the flavors were unforgettable. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an incredible meal here! The flavors were all bold and distinct, showcasing how fresh the food truly was. The staff were very welcoming, and the little touches made the experience even more pleasant. I'll surely be back very soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place has made it onto my favorites list! The service was particularly warm and engaging; I loved chatting with the staff. The standout dish for me was the salmon don, which was incredibly fresh. The atmosphere was lively and fun, making for a great evening out. I'm eager to return and try other dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a good meal, but I felt it could have been even better. While the beef tongue was amazing, some sides left a bit to be desired. The atmosphere was lovely, but I did feel a bit rushed by the staff. I’d give it another shot though, the ice cream was a highlight! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently celebrated my birthday here and couldn’t have chosen a better spot! The intimate setting makes it perfect for special occasions. Every dish was awesome, especially the chicken karaage and the unique cheese plate. It felt like a true izakaya experience. We even enjoyed some sake for the celebration! I’ll definitely return. " (*Curated Review*)

Archived Reviews (78)

" The experience was alright, but it didn't live up to my expectations. I found the portions to be quite small for the price, especially with the hype surrounding this place. The ambiance was decent, but I felt rushed and not entirely welcomed by the staff. " (*Curated Review*)

" I felt the izakaya had a pleasant vibe—very authentic, with the ever-popular karaage being a highlight. However, I did note that the prices are slightly higher. I suggest checking it out for the experience, but make sure your wallet is ready. Would still recommend! " (*Curated Review*)
