Bright & lively Japanese izakaya serving up a wide array of yakitori, small plates, & DIY sushi rolls. A solid choice for an affordable, memorable meal.
This Japanese restaurant offers a vibrant dining experience with a focus on yakitori and small plates. While many patrons praise the extensive menu and lively atmosphere, some find the execution doesn't always match the price point. It's a solid option for a casual meal, with specific callouts for dishes like the 'yaki corn' and 'cod cream udon'.
This Japanese restaurant is known for its yakitori (skewers), ramen, and a variety of small plates, including DIY sushi hand rolls and maki. While many dishes are recommended, such as the 'yaki corn' and 'cod cream udon', one reviewer noted that even simple dishes like 'brussel sprouts' had an unusual preparation that detracted from the experience.
"Customers have specifically recommended the 'yaki corn' and the 'cod cream udon'. The restaurant also offers a variety of yakitori, small plates, and DIY sushi hand rolls."
Overall, customers have a positive sentiment, frequently recommending the restaurant for its yakitori and Japanese small plates in a bright setting. However, a few reviews suggest that the execution might not always justify the price.
