Everything was perfect ! Absolutely nothing to complain about. The food was excellent and the portions sufficient. The price is justified in view of the quality of the products. The service was very pleasant, the servers available and smiling. In addition, I have a food allergy and this is the first time that the server really inquired with the chef to find out if the dishes were good for me. Thanks again for that! I recommend this restaurant 100%.

It’s hard being a *slight* Japanese food snob. Well, not really, because: Guu. Bring your wallet and your taste buds. Keep playing those awesome beats, Shu and crew!

Overall 4.5 stars!Sunday $6 Sapporo special? Great deal! Loved the food and service, can’t wait to come back.We ordered the baked oysters, karaage, sous vide duck breast and miso black cod.• Oysters were hot and cheesy - delicious!• Karaage was juicy and savoury - highly recommend .• Duck was the STAR of the night. Perfectly cooked, incredibly paired with yuzu sansho paste and soy based sauce and definitely a must order.• Miso back cod - buttery, rich and also a show stopper.They sold out of the salmon and scallop sashimi special but would have loved to try. Maybe next time.Atmosphere could be a bit better. Would recommend they fix the stairs to the bathroom - they’re a bit bent out of shape and kinda dangerous given how dark it is.

Went here with a friend of mine the other night and was just amazed with the quality of everything. I’m not very fond with duck but it truly changed my perspective with the dish I tried that night!Also I didn’t expect too much from the cheese bibimbap (not pictured) but even that blew my mind away.Would come back again if I’m in the city :)

Good atmosphere and food. This was my third time going and order pressed torched sushi. However it was served cold and not fresh, unlike the previous times i had it. When I asked, i was told that's how it is which was a lie as I had it before. Overall that disappointed me because I know they serve good food and I would expect it to be the same on every visit.

Food was tasty but I had a stomach upset after.Might have been the mayo on the chicken karaage special.The scallops with roe sashimi were really good.Spicy Salmon sushi was not to my liking.That too had mayo in it.I really liked the place but the food threw my stomach off.

First time experience at an Izakaya restaurant. First thing you’ll notice is the cool vibe here - it’s busy, people are enjoying conversations and there are saki bombs ? ? going off everywhere! The servers are welcoming and the menu has unique items that you won’t see elsewhere, like "TORINAN|LOTSU" (deep fried chicken cartilage). Don’t come here if you’re expecting food to be delivered quickly as there is a casualness to the whole process (the food comes when it comes). Overall, great restaurant - I’m sure I’ll be be back at some point.Parking: Good luck finding street parking on a weekend.Kid-friendliness: Not a place for kids. At least not at night time.Wheelchair accessibility: The washrooms are not accessible as there is a flight of stairs down.
