Possibly the best restaurant we have been to in Crows nest. An absolute hidden gem.
Food was outstanding, service just as good.
Dinner was only an hr or so but what a great experience. We’ll definitely be back and bringing friends.

Had a wonderful time for a Birthday dinner here. The highlights were of course the skewers and the whole experience feels like we are back in Japan. We would recommend it for anyone who enjoys yakitori shops in Japan. Book around the counter for a first person experience if you don't mind the smoke! (Although the ventilation was done really well as well.)

Dining here felt like stepping into a little slice of authentic Japan. We loved everything we ordered and there are still so many dishes on the menu we’re eager to try. What a fantastic night out! Love that you have created something so special in Crows Nest.

Food is outstanding. Would always come back for this.
Even tastier than our last visit back in November. Won’t say the service is the best, but also won’t say it’s bad.
Seating was pretty tight and can get uncomfy in time. Would wish to have bag hooks under the tables in the counter. Or space to leave bags or coats

The restaurant is hard to find at first but once you find out, it makes you feel excited like you have a found a hidden modern Japanese bar that only locals know. The food is delicious with varieties of drinks and side menu that goes well with beer. The taste and ambience gives a casual Izakaya in Japan, but with a hint of class. The staff were friendly and attentive. I took my Japanese clients here, and they felt comfortable once they noticed that they are Japanese, or they spoken good Japanese language. I've already visited here 3 or 4 times, and I'm sure I will visit again very soon.
