Hidden gem at L3. Make your way up here. Excellent yakitori and karaage. Sashimi is a bit expensive for the amount, but you're here for the yakitori. Get the yakitori.

Easily one of the best sushi places I have ever been to, excellent atmosphere, friendly staff and good lord is the food amazing, there had to be deals with devils made for the sushi to be as tender and delicious as it was. For anyone looking for an authentic Japanese cuisine experience this place is a must visit.

I spent about $500 on a meal at this restaurant today, and I’d like to speak specifically about the food.

Although this place claims to serve Japanese cuisine, it doesn’t feel like an authentic Japanese restaurant at all. The food was overwhelmingly salty—clearly adjusted to suit American tastes rather than preserving true Japanese flavor. Almost every dish was so heavily salted that it was difficult to eat.

One of the most shocking things was that already salty sausages were sprinkled with even more salt, making them inedible. All the skewers were excessively salty, and while I wanted to leave, I stayed only because I was with other guests. Eventually, even they couldn’t continue eating due to how salty everything was, and we left.

We also ordered yellowtail and tuna sashimi, which the staff recommended. However, it smelled strongly fishy, as if it had started to spoil. It honestly felt like they were pushing that dish because it needed to be sold before going bad.

We tried a variety of items, and with tip, the total came out to around $500. As someone who has lived in Osaka for 4 years and Tokyo for 2, I can confidently say this was a deeply disappointing experience. The food lacked authenticity, care, and quality.

I genuinely regret spending that amount of money, and I’m seriously considering disputing the charge with my credit card company. It makes me wonder if anyone at this restaurant actually checks the taste of the food before serving it.

Bab experience her at the restaurant. Order 2 beers for the table and we got half of beer for both of us. Thy worse beer pour I've ever received and it was down hill from there. Not outsider friendly.

The food was delicious and fresh! Their special rolls were so good. The service was great, servers are so sweet and the price was worth it

I've been a few times. I don't think I've encountered a dish I didn't like. The yakitori selection is solid. My favorites are chicken skin and hearts. If you see gizzard skins on the socials menu, definitely add an order. Also, the Mac'n' cheese is delicious. Udon, tempura and sushi are solid as well.

The food and atmosphere were excellent, and the waiters were fast and nice. Expensive though, definitely will come back when I'm having the itch for Yakitori.
