We had a quick dinner before the show here and overall enjoyed the experience. The server was a bit cold and disengaged, but to their credit, the food and drinks came out quickly - though we were the first and only guests in the restaurant at the time.
We ordered a few Sapporo and shared several dishes: the Kale Gomaae, Karaage Chicken, Ebimayo Beer-Battered Prawns, Gyoza, Harami Steak, and Guu Fries. Every dish was quite good. The fries were extra crispy, the prawns had the perfect batter-to-shrimp ratio, and the kale was nicely seasoned. The Karaage chicken came in large, juicy pieces, and the steak portion was generous and tender. The only dish that fell a bit short was the gyoza, which was just average compared to the rest.

Prices were reasonable, portions were solid, and it’s a quick, uncomplicated spot for a casual Japanese meal before a show or night out.

This place was fantastic both times I went. Special commendation to the beef tongue in garlic butter (specials menu) which was delicious beyond comparison and the litre-frosted mug of Sapporo which was ultra refreshing!

Came to this Izakaya for the first time with some friends. We ordered a couple of dishes to share. The menu isn’t very big but everything tasted pretty good. They also have some specials as well. The vibe inside is nice, clean and pretty spacious. Service was also okay. This would be a great place to fore small bites and drinks with friends but unfortunately they do close pretty early at 10:30.

Very accommodating and understanding staff. Their drinks all looked very tempting but their food was to die for. I think the only thing that was unfortunate that it was very crowded and that the salmon sold out at about 9pm

I came here with a group with reservations. There was 4 of us on a Saturday for dinner. We did family style and ordered a bunch of dishes to share. My favourite dishes were the harami steak, baked oysters, karaage, udon and seafood pancake. We did sake bombs x3 and they have a loud cheer including restaurant participation to bring you to chug them down. Service was great, and the atmosphere was lively. There is a bar where you can drink or order food, dining tables, booths, and high tops. I would come back to try other things on the menu.
