Reviews
- plump_pinto_beanCame here with a friend and honestly it felt like we wandered into some little izakaya tucked away in a Tokyo back alley. They had "Solitary Gourmet" playing on the TV, which kinda sealed the vibe. We got the chicken and scallion skewers and wow, the chicken was so tender it was practically bursting with juice, and the sauce had this perfect sweet-savory thing going on. The butter potatoes were super soft and packed with flavor, really satisfying. The place isn't big at all but they've made it feel really cozy, great for just the two of us to sit and chat for a while. Skewers come out hot off the grill and the smell is amazing. Whole experience was just really comfortable, definitely coming back.
