I usually come here for special occasions to secure a table I recommend doing a reservation since it’s pretty tiny. The food overall is great we order the meat lover that gives you a good variety amount of meat for 2 people to try from and cook to your own preference.

Enjoyed everything we tried here. We got the 4 person set and it was more than enough food. All the sides and meats were pretty good. We didnt feel rushed and were seated as walk ins. My only issue is that the server kept forgetting things we ordered. We had to request them again multiple times. Besides that, I wouldn't mind coming back.

If you love Japanese food, you can’t miss this place! ? I had miso soup and salmon sashimi, which were simply amazing. The charcoal-grilled seafood was flavorful and left me wanting more. ? The fried chicken and takoyaki were crispy and full of flavor. ? Strongly recommend!
