The chicken and the fries are decent and they make good sauces, but the food was nothing to spectacular. Having watched Top Chef and really wanting to visit Shota’s restaurant, was a little disappointed to find some of the dishes like the cauliflower being too salty and that was really the main issue with a lot of the dishes. Glad I’ve tried it but probably won’t revisit again.

Great late night snacks or a hanging out spot!! Large selection for drinks but the menu was small. The fried chicken was not bad, but they used the firm tofu to fry that was a little disappointing. Overall, it’s such a cool place and they sat and serve supersonic!!

A must go for late night Karaage and Japanese Highballs. I had the Spicy Chicken Sando and Furikake Fries. Unfortunately if you’re visiting from out of country their POS and ordering system doesn’t work for mobile. (Blame Toast not them) The staff were happy to take the order from us in person though!

The salt and pepper chicken was so good! Itself was cooked to perfection, with a crispy outer coating that was perfectly seasoned and a juicy, tender interior. Love the vibe of the place. FYI you have to be 21 and over to eat inside. Good service.

If you’re looking for something different and unique then this is your spot. The food was good, but very seasoned. I ordered chicken tenders seasoned with curry. I also got these unique tasting French fries. Good vibe inside as well.

Just when I thought karaage couldn’t be any better, this place proved me wrong. We came here for a late night snack, and all were extremely happy. The place is small and has a cool vibe to it. I enjoyed the decor and pictures that were all over the area. The chicken karaage is the main thing here, and I can see why people would order a bucket of it. We also got some fried rice and this potato mochi, which was also amazing. Do not forget to ask for the dipping sauces, as they also were perfect.

This cute restaurant has a friendly waitress, but the food is rather disappointing, particularly the fried chicken.

Great stuff: salt & pepper chicken nugs, hot spicy sauce, fried brussel sprouts. Great vibe here. Felt like a spot in New York.

The chicken is great and all, but you come here for the atmosphere. The whole place makes you feel like you are hungover in the best way possible. Something about the mood of this place that makes you want to come back over and over to get a bucket full of fried chicken and fries.

Visited shortly after opening and had the luck to find sitting space at the bar. Here, you get to order and pay online, which makes the process seamless. On my second visit, it was even better.
