Reviews
- Rory_2Came here with a friend for some Japanese izakaya vibes and honestly it felt like we stepped into a little alley in Tokyo. The warm yellow lighting and all the wood decor made it super cozy. We ordered the charcoal-grilled live eel and wow, the outside was perfectly crispy and the inside was so tender, with this sweet and savory sauce that was kinda unique and really addictive. Also got a big skewer platter with tons of variety, perfect for just hanging out and chatting. They even have tatami private rooms which are great for a small get-together. Overall the vibe is quiet but still lively, totally fits a date night or drinks with friends. Would definitely come back.
