    The good: food was excellent. Especially the soba, mushrooms, black cod and kalbi. The skewers were hit and miss. Great saki and great vibes. Really made me miss Tokyo! The okay: honestly I was a little nervous about the service based on recent reviews. We had a reservation (booked weeks before) and after waiting at the door for several minutes we started poking our head around until someone noticed. They almost said our reservation time was wrong before realizing it wasn't, and had to find a spot for us in the almost full house. It was fine in the end, but a little annoying as they also rushed us to finish early to meet the 90min despite them causing us to wait at the beginning. I also had made sure to review the menu before arriving so we could order quickly as I know this is a tight meal timeline. I do want to come again as this food is really good Izakaya good, but I hope the service becomes less stressful.

    Very authentic Japanese food. We had an excellent dinner, our service was attentive and gave us great recommendations. I did not grab pics of the beef shortrib but was definitely the star of the show. Truly a great experience.
