Stopped by this gem for the first time today. My friends and I were looking for a spot in the neighborhood to grab a quick drink after brunch, and this place popped up. If you enter from the street, the entrance is pretty easy to miss, but the interior is such a vibe. It reminds me of those late-night casual bars in Japan and Hong Kong. I love the records they have everywhere.
The menu has some really unique drink options, and I love the Asian-inspired flavors in them. The drinks were delicious and definitely strong. The staff is also super friendly, from the host to our server, Tirzah, who is such a vibe! She’s super sweet, attentive, and has such a fun personality.
I would definitely visit here again the next time I’m in the area and try their other menu items, cause their food looked good too. And hopefully Tirzah will be there.

It’s a great place but every time I visit they kick me out after an hour because they’re full. This ruins the experience.

Really great atmosphere. We had a 6pm rez and the maitre'd was able to get us a front and center bar seat. Delighted there was a great Happy Hour menu. The drinks were good, food solid, and the music most memorably was amazing. A very Tokyo record bar vibe. I spent half my time Shazaming the tracks. Would def go back. Wonderfully friendly service.

In between two restaurants, youll see a sign above a hallway go all the way back and entrance is behind this plastic curtain (video attached). Had the tomato martini and it was so good. Honestly up there with the famous martinis I had at Holbrook house. Cool japanese record bar vibes. The place was pretty packed on wednesday night! Great service, everyone was super friendly and helpful with suggestions.

Cozy spot with fantastic cocktails. I had preexisting dinner plans and did not get a chance to dine here, but it looked and smelled like I should have. I’ll be back. Definitely recommend!

The place was very cozy and amazing. It gave me a strong 90s and early 2000s vibe, almost like Japanese CITYPOP style. The music was great and the cocktails were delicious.
We tried several cocktails and some appetizers, and everything tasted really good. But the best part was the service. The staff was super friendly, attentive, and had an incredible vibe that made the whole experience even better.

Nice low-key bar, best for parties of 2-4 (small space) who appreciate a space to have some conversation over creative cocktails. Shout out to DJ Linda Tran for the vibes! Also shout out to the bartender who was very friendly, took pride in his work, and showed appreciation to the customers with small complementary shots.
My only complaints are the following: the music is a touch too loud for the space and the hostess is a stickler for time and makes you feel like you’ve overstayed your welcome (even though you’ve made a reservation and are spending money).
Drinks are great but way too expensive. Would make more sense at $15-17 especially if not served in real glass cups
Cool space and good music Chairs and tables are a bit uneven and rickety

Cool spot with a casual atmosphere. Food wise, some things taste great but others are an acquired taste (e.g. the eggplants tasted a bit like perfume), but overall the quality is good.
The staff is very friendly and helpful. For example, we did not order the karaage but were served it anyway, and the staff apologized and made sure we were not charged for it.
There are certain seats where you are kind of halfway between sitting and standing against a log. These seats are not comfortable if you plan on staying for a long time.
They occasionally pump a scented fog into the room. It looks cool but at one point the fog was so thick we genuinely thought there was a fire for a second. If scents bother you, you may not like this.
