    We had a fantastic night here! The staff were very accommodating of our large group. They recommended taking over the ordering for us and did an amazing job on the menu (also much less stressful for everyone than trying to organize 12 people’s small plates orders!) A proper izakaya experience and everything was delicious. Would go back any day :)
