    Incredible neighborhood izakaya. Feels no frills, yet sleek and modern. The food was super legit - loved the cold tofu, sea scallop sashimi. In Japanese tradition, no tipping!

    New neighborhood gem. Fried chicken is delicious but Chicken Nanman is better!!! Also the tamago, addictive cabbage and the cold tofu

    Addictive cabbage lives up to its name (order 2). Cold Tofu is also excellent, ask for sale pairing.

    Nice wait staff, authentic Italian-influenced Japanese households dishes. Portions weren't generous. The dishes were ordinary. The sashimi was just okay. I had high expectations & wanted to like it.

    Food was ok but overpriced. The highlights were cold beer and the spicy cabbage. My suggestion is to look into other izakayas.

    Probably the worst dining experience I've had in a long time. The food was so salty and the portions too small. The supposedly special cabbage tasted bland.

    Pretty average food. Not worth the stop in given all the Izakaya options around the city
