| - Overall, we had a great night here once we figured it out. It's different, for sure, but a nice concept and I'd definitely go back. For starters, the service was excellent - our server was friendly, knowledgeable, and prompt. She took the time to explain everything on the menu and overall did a great job.
About that menu though. I recommend that you scroll through the photos on Yelp because you can't really picture the dishes with the menu descriptions otherwise. The menu has great variety and is well suited toward a tapas style meal. You can mix and match a bunch of different things for a fun and satisfying meal. We sampled a bunch of dishes and shared bites...several of the Robotayaki (yummy little barbeque skewers), both types of gyoza (super crispy dumplings), the salmon handroll (absolutely delicious), Takoyaki (octopus balls - crispy outside and soft inside - yum!), the okonomiyaki (a friend pancake of goodies), and the miso ramen (good, but I liked all the other stuff better). We finished with both desserts - highly recommend the fried ice cream. Overall, the food was top notch - even if we weren't entirely sure what we were ordering.
The atmosphere of the place was nice as well, though be prepared for a few things. First, it's hard to find, as many other yelpers have said. The door is on the side street around from Round Corner. You go in and are faced with two more doors - go straight. Then up BOTH steep flights of stairs and there you have it. Once you are up there, the space is pretty small. We were seated in a room off the left - the Japanese style with a hole in the floor. Ladies - this is a place for pants since getting up and down off the floor in a skirt can be a little less than graceful.
They did not appear to have a ton of seating, so I'd say that a reservation is the way to go.
