Over priced, small portions loud (group of 8 young men celebrating loudly, no attempt by staff to quiet down. Ordered two items: Crap Cream Croquette - very good price OK Chef's selection Skewer (5 items $20) Tiny squid- too small to have much taste 4 pieces of asparagus, expecting skewers of protein as shown in photos. Cartridge - Inedible, may have been some protein stuck to the tiny pieces Chicken patty(?) - OK Small pieces of chicken - OK No drinks, out the door $36 No reason to go back
If you love authentic Japanese food, this is the place. I've traveled to Japan and will be this October again and this is the closest you can come to being in Tokyo.
Good clean restaurant. Most of server is nice and attentive except for one with a bad attitude. However food portion is REALLY SMALL. Assorted Sashimi were $25 for 5 pieces which is insane compare to any other Japanese restaurants. We spent $50 each and felt left with an almost empty belly.

Food was pretty good, the Japanese server took care of us was very rude she pretty much just threw the dishes to our table and walked away didn't like to give us a second to catch her attention to order more things, brought wrong item to us, when I told her that's not what I ordered she just didn't say anything with a blank face no apology of course.
Again, food was good.

Great food, solid service, location and ambiance is ok. Really just a standard store front in a strip mall.
The quality of the food was really bad. When I said I wouldn't eat it because I didn't like it, the waiter just said, “Thanks for letting me know,” but they didn't reduce the price. I'll never go to this restaurant again.
Authentic Japanese food. Clean. Great services. I had sushi, oyster, agedashi tofu and bunch and everything tasted so good.

It's been a while since I've had Izakaya, and this place did not disappoint. My only wish was that the portion would be a little bigger. So if you want to be full, prepare to spend some $$. We ordered a lot of different varieties, and every dish were delicious. However, I think the beef tongue thick cut stood out the most. It's rare to get thick cut Japanese grilled tongue. I've had the best one in Sendai JP so that was my flavor reference point. This place came pretty close! The tongue was grilled to perfection and the texture was just right, soft and easy to bite with a slight crunch from the grilled outer layer. The premium sashimi was very delicious as well, but note you have to order 2 minimum (one piece of each fish/seafood in each order). Ours came with uni, toro, amaebi, salmon, hamachi, scallop, and sea bream. Because it's an Izakaya, the place gets pretty loud. Overall, I would highly recommend coming here if you want to try some thick cut beef tongue.

We attended without a reservation, we were warmly welcomed and showed to our table. Service is friendly and prompt. The choice of food is extensive. Food is tasty and we ordered the beef sashimi which we enjoyed.

We came here for dinner as it was close to the hotel.
The menu is extensive, with cold dish ,grilled items , sushi, and hot noodle soups or hot pot ( Nabe ) . The salmon skin roll I ordered was delicious, and the chicken meat ball skewers were also testy . It is a very suitable place to relax and have a meal.
* This is a chain restaurant

Regular customer with 10+ visits per year for the past 5 years. Some of the wait staff on this visit were preoccupied for with chit chatting instead of addressing ours or other tables concerns. We had to request from another wait team member to help us, and the other tables had to go to the front host area to get their check and pay due to delays.
Terrible service!! I’ve been coming to this restaurant for years—probably at least 30 times—if you enjoy being ignored and treated unfairly, this is the place for you!
