Many visitors praise the restaurant for its consistent and flavorful yakitori, with meats like chicken skin, pork belly, scallops, and lamb receiving high marks for their juiciness and proper cooking. The ambiance is warm and inviting, making it a great place to relax and enjoy the fire vibe. The service is generally friendly and efficient, with staff members like Fanny, Kina, and Coco providing genuine hospitality. Drinks are also well-liked, adding to the overall experience. However, some guests find the food to lack seasoning or marinade, describing the skewers as bland or with unusual sour flavors.
