All the food was excellent and would highly recommend. My favorite skewer is probably the Enoki Mushroom w/ Pork Belly, but a close second would Chicken Thigh w/ Green Onion. All the beef skewers were delicious, but surprising the Beef Flap Meat (cheapest beef) was probably my favorite beef one, and economical too.

Great Yakitori (skewers), great small environment, all around Great place to get drinks, some good food, and have a good time. Can start to get expensive when you’re no longer paying attention to what you’re ordering!

This place is good place for Yakitori and the vibe is close to traditional Japanese restaurants. I would recommend it but there are a few things that I might not recommend like the ramen. It’s good but not thing special about it. Plus the beef tongue was a little thicker and tough. I understand beef tongue is tough normally but there are ways to make it thinner and softer. Other then that everything was very good specially the pork intestine and liver.

Food/Taste/Flavor: 4/5 for the food overall once most were good but there was one miss. Deep fried pork ears was the first dish at the table and was crispy and chewy. A bit queasy but the salt does help cut through

Another great izakaya place. This place is incredibly lively and the food is fantastic. Definitely worth a trip if you can get in. It’s worth the wait. Check out all the different foods I was able to sample. They also have alot of other dishes which look delicious but you can only eat so much. Definitely visit this place a few tries to sample as much as you can. I highly rate this place A+ !
