EDIT: I felt its necessary to make the amendment that, although walking in without a reservation was a thing previously, we've now had multiple visits where we've stood at the counter for 2 hours never to be seated.

You can still eat the whole menu there, but its generally very crowded.

Getting reservations seems to be catered towards friends, or some type of mysterious system, as we no longer have been able to get a reservation...
Like walking through a curtain and being magically transported to a back street of Tokyo. Really, there’s some serious illusion magic going on here. The ambiance and the food literally transport you. Be brave and let the chefs pick the chicken pieces for you (the neck is the best!) and throw in a side of savory squid ink fried rice. Incredible and welcoming staff makes this place so perfect.
This place has been in my to-go list forever but it fell short for me. I got to try a few things including the skewers, squid fried rice, wings, porridge, and only standout was the wings. Love the vibe tho!
