    Food and price is fair. Service needs to be improved. We were told that we will have 2 hrs dinner time, around 1 hours and 30 mins but they wants to get one of our tables to the next group even we didn’t pay and finish our meals. We are very disappointed since we came here to celebrate Christmas.

    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 :)
