Showed up with a party of 4 and there was only one menu. Appetizers arrived and there was no plates or chop sticks until we asked. No water until the second time we asked. We arrived during happy hour and it was not properly explained so we missed out on that after already ordering our drinks. there is an instilled 20% service charge on the final check so be aware of that. When we asked why we didn't get happy hour reflected, the waitress decided to speak Japanese to my wife instead of explaining it to all of us which makes it a quite stressful experience.

Atmosphere is super cool in here. Like you were transported to a little evening cafe in Japan with jazz. Food is great, though costs can add up quickly.

Very polite service. Hot food. The drinks are small and flavorful. Seasonal fizzy aple cider was good. Small space with a few tables and bar stools.

Warm, cozy, and slightly upscale. The izakaya has karaoke rooms available for rent, but the vibe of the place is great for ordering a few beers, some karaage, and whatever's on special (check their Instagram).Don't forget to bring something to read. They use great coffee beans and have good pour over technique if you get a cup of coffee to cap your meal.Haven't checked out any of the live Jazz or classical music but it sounds interesting!

I came across a good restaurant for lunch where I can get hamburg steak and curry in Japanese style. It was served with a small salad, miso-soup and white rice. There are free refills of white rice. I love this place because it has a calm and relaxing atmosphere.

Food and service and music are great, but their hours are different than posted.

Delicious Japanese homemade food??They have karaoke rooms for $35/hour.When customers reserve it in advance, it's gonna be $30/hour.Dinner menu is totally different from lunch menu, and it's Japanese izakaya style !You can have an experience like you're in Japan :)
