The grilled fish, rolls and deep fried food were great but the yakitori was very disappointing. Undercooked shishito peppers and eggplant. Also overcooked/blend pork belly. The bar seating felt really cramped and uncomfortable - not enough space for the dishes we ordered and for the wait staff to stand in a reasonable distance to take the order.
Need to let go? Relax? Animate? Subjugate those anxious waves of uncertainty?
Kinda Izakaya is more, it's the kind.
Just don't get too loud, it's most impolite in this kinda place.
This is one of our favorite places, though the quality/taste of the food is variable. In other words, you need to know what to order because they do some things better than others, which isn't too surprising given the many choices in their menu. My recommendation is to get the mentaiko carbonara, IMHO the best thing they serve.
