Wow, what a fantastic experience! In a place with a vibrant and pleasant atmosphere, the staff has been wonderfully friendly and really understand how to offer suggestions according to the diners' tastes (in my case, they hit the nail on the head! With small dishes that I could taste and that have been one better than the other)! It is a bit expensive but worth the experience

Always amazing! The creativity of twisting classics into inspired cuisine is what you get here! Don’t miss the calamari with beure blanc sauce, the gyoza, the ebi tempera and especially the tres leche cake!

Great meal!! Loved all the dishes, very innovative. Beautiful scallop and the sandwich too. Cool idea to stick your Polaroid photo on the wall at the end!

The staff was friendly and dishes came out quickly. The food was ok; some too salty. The part I’m really upset about is that they charged us for 6 bottles of water when they were merely filling up a bottle with tap water (I watched a woman doing this) and filling everyone’s glasses (including other patrons).

All very nice, but the menus were in japanese - difficult to understand what to order, when there is no explanation on what it means, and takas a long time to translate. The waitress explained something, but it was difficult to hear because the music was really loud. At some point, the waitress seemed a bit bored to our questions. Edamame beans were the best I've ever had. Tonkatsu sandwhiches were popular, but the mayo was too watery and made eating very messy.

I go to Izakaya once a month or so. The experience gets better every time, and this is beyond rare. It’s pure joy: the food is unbelievable, the waiters are professional and attentive (without being annoying or too talkative), the open kitchen is an ever-changing show. Too good to be true, right? I just hope it doesn’t change or get too crowded.

The food was okay the portions were very very small and the food was all a bit too salty. We had some nice dishes though the kids really liked the shrimp tempura. I think they could tone down a bit on the music it was so loud that no one could talk to each other. That’s the ambience they were looking for but we thought it was too loud.

I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, it’s a small but lively place - but as soon as we got there the staff were extremely helpful guiding us through the menu, asking us our preferences and giving recommendations! It truly was dinner and a show watching the chefs prepare the dishes! The food was delicious!!! It’s not somewhere to go with a big group as everyone is sitting at the counter, unless you could sit at the corner. Highly recommend this place and we’ll definitely be back soon!!!

Quite exciting to visit a restaurant where you’re only familiar with 10% of menu items. Enjoyed the visit. Shrimps were pretty plain though

Great food and quick service. The thing I don’t like is you only can sit for 90 minutes but it is a more than adequate time to ear a great meal. It can be a bit pricey.
