    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.

    How attentive the staff was to our needs and how reminiscent the food was to my experience living in Japan. Elevated, true izakaya cuisine.

    The food and drinks were amazing, so was the service but only thing that ruined our evening was the waitress gave us menus to ask if we would want to order anything else then after we had decided told us there’s not enough time. It unfortunately made us leave feeling disappointed as she shouldn’t have given us the menus or at least asked earlier if we wanted anything else.

    When eating tastes like “coming home”. One of the best and tastiest restaurants ever. There are enough vegetarian options. We were surprised and let the waitress choose the dishes. We have never eaten such a delicious eggplant. The cocktails, the wine, the sake were also incredibly good.

    Great food, atmosphere and service. The decoration is very original and cosy; there's a great vibe. The music is a bit loud but part of the experience (excellent playlist). Also, the menu is not very easy to decipher. Luckily, the chef made some great suggestions. The only dish I didn't enjoy was the aubergine, but everything else was excellent.

    The food is amazing, very different and tasty It is better for 2 people only, because it would be difficult to talk with more than 2, since you seat at the bar, it is the propose of the place anyway Great experience

    The service, the atmosphere, the amazing flavours, the relaxed way one is treated and the support you get in reading the Japanese menu :-) Tip: let the chef make your choices and just tell the things you (think you) don’t like. Reserve space for dessert, do have a glass of sake in stead of wine and please invite me at your ‘table’.

    If you have never been to an Izakaya in Japan it can be a enjoyable experience. Edamame - Warm, crispy and salty Chicken heart skewer - Had to send it back as it was not cooked well enough and lacked char. The main chef intervened and we received a full skewer that was much better prepared. He threw in a Chicken skin skewer as well. Much appreciated and good. Chicken tail skewer - Ok Toro Yokke Chirashi - Rice, tuna belly tartar, salmon roe and egg yolk on top. Small portion. My wife liked it more. Katsu Sando - Very tasty, warm, breaded and well seasoned pork on a bit of a soggy bread. We drank beer as well as a decent highball. Wine selection is sincerely overpriced. Service - Overall good and friendly although at times it can be felt as pushy. At the end a waitress asked too many times if we needed anything else. I guess we needed to leave. Prices - A bit on the rich side . Will we go back, probably not.

    Finally a restaurant with character in Cascais. Not the usual place to please the tourist but rather a place with a vision and a distinct personality.

    This is probably my favorite restaurant ever. Laid back and 5 stars food. It was my 3rd time here and a must every time we return to Portugal!

    Amazing from every aspect! From the moment we walked in to helping us order great dishes to recommendations in Lisbon the staff was extremely helpful and pleasant. One of our favorite food experiences in all of Portugal. Thank You
