Food came quite fast, still maintaining its food quality. Order quite a bit for pax of 2 for reasonable price. Good recommendation given by the service provider.

Great place to eat, drink and chill. Service was great despite one minor order error, probably because the place was packed. Highly recommend the grilled dried stingray fin - to die for, especially with beer.

First time to have dinner here and the experience was just ok. Nothing extraordinary. Food was on the good side not horrible but not excellent. They were short staffed during that time so imagine our wait time when ordering and getting our bill.

We ordered the set meal for 2 and the food was pretty good. However, the drink included in the set meal and 150ml topped up for $20 were not up to expectation. They have a wide range of sakes but generally very expensive. You can get something for half the price elsewhere.

Great atmosphere with nice food and drinks. Luis and gang were very knowledgeable about their sake and the set meal has a good variety although the sake is a little on the pricy side.

Cosy place with warm service, the young owners are very knowledgeable in sake and very passionate in sharing the knowledge. Those with huge appetite might find the food portions a little too dainty though.

We came on a Saturday night and it was not very crowded. Food was in very small portions and very expensive, but this is quite typical for izakayas. The food was very delicious though.

Awesome Izakaya and value for money. For starters, the guy ponzu was refreshing for the palate. Will recommend the mackerel and Grilled squid paired with the Sapporo draft.

Good foods & great lively atmosphere! We had the onigiri, sashimi platter, chef's skewer selections and grilled makerel to share among two. Sashimi was sweet, fresh and love the generous cut. Skewers were delicious especially the Tsukune, it was juicy and packed with flavours. The only downside was we found the sapporo draft beers were not as fresh and pungent. It was not bad but just not the best. Overall, it was a pleasant dining experience, definitely a place we will return!

Was quite disappointed. Food was not as well prepared as it was mentioned in the reviews. Seems to be shorthanded in the shop as it took quite a while to come back on revised bill.

Very nice food and good service! Quite disappointed that they ran out of sashimi though. And the staffs look busy all the time so our glass of water was never refilled... but still, doesn't really matter because the food were really good! I love the tsukune most! So soft and fragrant! I also really like the mentai rosti. Their potato shreds were not the soft kind you get at Marche but a bit... how do i put it? Fresh and crunchy? And the mentai sauce was just the right amount! Not too much to the point of overpowering the rosti and not too little that i don't taste the mentai. Will definately be back for more!!
