Reviews
- snowy_cocoa_beanCame here with a friend for some Japanese izakaya vibes and honestly it was so good. The place is kinda small but super cozy, and they had "Solitary Gourmet" playing on the TV which totally made it feel like we were in some little alleyway in Tokyo. We got the chicken and scallion skewers and oh my god the chicken was so juicy, like seriously bursting with juice, and the sauce was this perfect sweet-salty thing. Also had the butter potatoes which were super soft and packed with flavor, really satisfying. Everything's grilled fresh to order so the smell just hits you. Great spot for two people to just sit and chat for a while, definitely coming back.
