Went out with some coworkers while visiting the area and was blown away with the food. We wended up ordering a lot of dishes which all had their own amazing flavors. My favorite was the Ebbi Chile, but the chicken karaage was a close second. Very cheap beer plus mouth watering food made for a very memorable outing. Friendly staff as well! Thanks y'all!
Skewers were juicy, well seasoned and overall yummy. The beef finger and lamb were my favorites.
We ordered a lot of the tapa plates and enjoyed most of them, the pork cheeks were very crispy and reminiscent of chicharrones, the karaage chicken comes in very large chunks, and the eggplant(miso nasu dengaku) was nice and saucy.
I enjoy pork belly but the buta bara miso glaze was okay. I wish it was more tender.
The ika maruyaki or grilled squid is a go...

The skewers are particularly flavorful given the special wood coal they use.
They may seem a little short staffed on the service side so it takes a little patience, but not severe enough to impact the overall experience.
