" The expectations set by previous reviews were not fully met. While the beef tongue was great, I was disappointed by the portion sizes and slow service. However, the atmosphere was pleasant and fitting for a small Japanese restaurant. Would try again during a quieter time. " (*Curated Review*)

" The spot had a fantastic izakaya Feel with a variety of small plates that are perfect for sharing. I loved the grilled vegetables and the atmosphere was super friendly. Just be ready for a bit of a wait during busy periods, it’s definitely popular for good reason! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful find! The beef tongue was simply heavenly and perfectly grilled. The ambiance is very inviting for a relaxing night out with friends. The service was attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. Definitely worth the reservation ahead of time. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is charming and cozy but be ready to wait if you come on a weekend. The skewers were delicious, but the portions are on the smaller side, which is typical for an izakaya style. Portioning aside, the quality of the ingredients really shine, and the staff's friendliness adds to the charm. Just remember to make a reservation! " (*Curated Review*)

" First visit was delightful! Enchanted by the atmosphere that reminded me of many izakayas I visited in Japan. The grilled seafood was fresh and grilled to perfection. I enjoyed seeing the chefs at work, with the vibrant energy in the place; I can't wait to 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*)
