Just went for cocktails. Impressive and cool preparation, but the flavor was just so-so. Recommend coming here for the atmosphere and a light appetizer before a night out, or for a nightcap.

Bring back the good drinks and atmosphere. I’m from the neighborhood and spent +$100 on 4 drinks with poor service and terrible ambiance. You used to be so good 4 years ago. Not so much anymore.

Was excited to go to a Japanese bar and saw that rating wasn’t bad. But then we tried two cocktails and those were pretty bad. First sip was like hmm okay, then the aftertaste was just like water. They were not cheap either, $20/cocktail.

Run don’t walk to to Bar Goto in BK. From Chef Xavier to Kayden our server the vibes were incredible. We had an amazing time enjoying drinks and their small bites. Definitely a great date night spot or place to grab drinks with friends!

Love the chef Xavier and the waitress Kayden such good service. Cutest bar off of Flatbush Brooklyn. Great date night spot.

There for cocktail. Disappointing- a pretty mundane ordinary tasting mix served in a wineglass 1/3 full. No finesse nothing special, yet 22 dollar

Small place with great cocktails and vibes. Our server was very friendly and gave us suggestions too.

Wonderful experience at this bar last night. It has a beautiful and intimate atmosphere, with great staff, food and drink. This was my first time at a Japanese spirit focused bar, and Cap the bartender kindly explained the menu and suggested how the spirits could be served. Thank you Cap! We will definitely be back.

Decent drinks but truly the worst service I’ve had in a while. Looking at reviews, it looks something’s really gone downhill recently

Among other highlights:
* Rushed out well before any of us were finished
* The bartender misheard a drink order and got upset at us for “trying to order off menu”
* almost every party that walked in the door after us get yelled at for trying to sit at the bar

We’ve been to both locations a number of times before and had good experiences, but tonight felt very different. Not sure if it was an off night, but I don’t think we’ll be returning.
