Drunken Monk is a Japanese restaurant with a cozy atmosphere that specializes in small plates. It offers a wide variety of dishes such as yakitori, sukiyaki, and sushi. The yakitori skewers are well-seasoned and delicious, with a selection ranging from chicken to wagyu beef and beef tongue. The staff is friendly and attentive, ensuring customers feel well taken care of. The service is quick, though there may be a wait for skewers during busy times. Recommended skewers include Kabuto pork, chicken oyster, sashito peppers, wagyu skewers with truffle oil and salt, and okra. The house-made miso pancetta with yuzu ice was amazing, and the sesame cheesecake, dense but flavorful, is a favorite dessert. The restaurant is popular, so reservations are recommended. Despite some high prices, the quality of the food justifies it. Recently, the team showed excellent care by remaking uni for a customer, which highlights their commitment. Overall, Drunken Monk is a great place to enjoy sake and flavorful Japanese dishes, offering a cozy atmosphere and attentive service.
