| - Despite all the reviews warning about needing a reservation, came on a Sunday night with no reservation and a group of 6 around 7pm and got seated immediately.
The options here are endless, and many are posted around the restaurant rather than in the tiny menu they hand to you.
We got:
Mackerel Iso-yaki - This was my favorite dish. Must get! The fish is deliciously savory and yet soft at the same time. So good.
Salad with tuna and tofu - My second favorite dish. I loved the way the cold tofu paired with the salad and the tuna and the sesame oil.
Chicken and egg rice bowl - This was quite good, the flavors come together really well. If you're looking for something filling, get this.
Egg custard - This was super smooth and delicious and also filled with the umami flavor of mushroom (I'm more used to seafood flavored egg custard, but this version was surprisingly delicious).
Iko yaki (grilled squid) - I was actually underwhelmed by this dish, but I think others enjoyed it.
Chicken gizzard - I really liked this skewer. Nice and crunchy.
Chicken skewer - Super juicy chicken skewer.
Beef liver - Wasn't a huge fan of this because of the texture. But if you like cooked liver you'd probably be a fan of this.
Beef tongue - This was really good, super savory and juicy. I liked it a lot.
Seaweed Salad - This was not the seaweed salad I was expecting. Rather than green seaweed, it's red seaweed with a bunch of lettuce. Not sure I'd get it again.
Ponzu uni - This was good but underwhelming. I'd probably opt for something else.
Yellowtail Tartar - I felt like the fish in this wasn't particularly fresh and was just being masked by the avocado and crunchy cracker. Wasn't impressed.
Kimchi fried rice - I surprisingly liked this although some of my friends didn't enjoy it. I'd get this just to share.
Prices are reasonable, and you can opt for a super cheap meal (chicken and egg bowl) or a moderately priced one (with the sushi/sashimi offering). All in all, great food and drinks, and a nice atmosphere just to chill and chat with friends.
