Amazing japanese food. Elevated japanese bar food. Everything was wonderful
The beef tongue was absolutely delicious! We ordered two servings, but the second one wasn’t as good as the first—it was a bit tougher.
The ramen and the beef rice bowl were both very tasty as well. However, the beef was a little too rare and had a strong bloody taste. We hope it can be cooked a bit more next time.
Overall, we had a great dining experience and would definitely come back!
Such a fun spot! They're always changing up their seasonal menu and I'm always excited to try the next new thing. Everything we've had has been fantastic from the grilled fish skewers to the pallelas. Definitely make a reservation if you're trying to go on weekends. Week days you can usually get a spot at the bar or maybe a table if you get there at opening.

The restaurant is known for its signature smoked dishes, and the smoked sashimi is a staple for many customers. The menu also offers vegan and vegetarian options, though more explicit instructions on modifiable items would be appreciated. Customers have been impressed by the anchovy garlic edamame, delicious skewers, and the flavorful and texturally amazing unagi paella. The yaki oni benedict is another popular item, and the grilled veggies are seasoned well. The wagyu garlic rice and tender wagyu steak have also received high praise.
