A great place for authentic Japanese tapas food. Didn't get to try the kani miso but had the Crab gratin instead which was awesome too. Will be back again for booze and FOOD!

Great food, slightly overpriced because the portions were not huge so you need to order a few dishes. The dry sake that was recommended was amazing though!

Good, but expected more given the past reviews. The rosti was really good so was the beef tongue. The bacon and leek yakitori did disappoint though

Nice place, large sake selection. Would be ideal to have a sake menu stating the characteristics of each sake, as well as the price. Maybe good to include recommended food pairing options as well.

Great food & service! Highly recommend for a night out with friends. Daily Lunch set is also value for money. Recommend to make reservations in advance as the place does not accommodate many people.

Unpretentious. Down-to-earth good food and spot-on recommendations. Not a place for a romantic dinner, but most certainly a place for meeting friends to have a lovely night out where you can eat, drink and laugh happily!

Skewers and oden were good! Service was prompt and polite. They were nice enough to refill my crackers for the deep fried cambermet cheese. A good first experience.

Food was good, but the service was excellent. The waiter went to great pains to explain the menu to us and offered recommendations and seemed very enthusiastic about his work. They have a penchant for many things mentaiko and cheese-related, so you might want to mix your orders up to savour a wider range of flavours.

Cosy environment, with good food and service; I've been for multiple return visits. Recommended for both lunch and dinner! Try the kushi don at lunch, and maguro yukke and mentaiko rösti at dinner, though all the food is delicious too =)

Good food and serving size. Chicken on skewer too salty. Love the crab gratin, chicken skin dish and beef with roe. Place is a bit squeezy so unless youmind fellow patrons hearing your conversation, this is quite a good hangout place to chill over drinks

Cosy Japanese restaurant which serves up great and tasty dishes. Specially loved the rosti mentaiko and kani gratin! Totally recommended! The sashimi was fresh and melts in the mouth. Yums.

Service was slow, guess they were shorthanded. We were seated but menu was not passed to us. Service staff were just zooming past everyone and it was really hard to get their attention, and even if we did, they would ask us to wait. We eventually got the menus ourselves at the counter. Waited really long for the food to come, more than 1 hour and our dishes were not served completely including the potato salad which was supposed to be the appetizer. We got so tired of waiting that we cancelled 2 dishes. Food was ok. We had the buta don, spicy salmon don, aburi mackerel, rosti mentaiko but overall, I wouldn't visit again because it's just not worth the wait and money.

Nice atmosphere, crowded on a Friday night so skewers were generally slightly overcooked. But the other dishes were all quite yummy. Selection of sake was good too.

Waiting time between orders was inconsistent, with grill items arriving after more than 20 minutes from second orders, with the latter being mixed up. Saving grace were a few food items (e.g. rosti mentaiko). Th kani gratin has a slightly overpowering mayonnaise aftertaste, while the negi kushiyaki was tough to bite.

Lovely place with awesome food. We spent about $60/pax including 2 draft beers and a cocktail. Food was fresh especially the scallops. Quite an authentic experience judging by the number of Japanese customers there. We'll be back.

Super delicious food and great atmosphere! The place is quite unique, because it feels like you are in a friendly pub (rather than a restaurant), but the food is top quality and tastes like in a posh Japanese restaurant. Mentaiko scallop is a must!
