| - My first impression when walking in the door was "whoa, this is dangerous and confusing." The narrow stairway was dimly lit by red lighting, walls were black, and you have to walk up two flights of stairs before reaching the restaurant. Might not be a good place to go to after a few drinks, haha! Despite blindly hiking up the stairs, I loved the look of the place.
We tried some robatayaki (skewers), temaki (handroll), and takoyaki (squid fritters). Of these dishes, I recommend the temaki the most. These small handrolls were quite simple, but the "injection" of the house-made soy sauce was delicious and bursting with umami flavor.
The food concept here is small bites of Japanese street food. Prices seem reasonable until the bites are served, as they are literally bite-sized. Expect to spend a good amount of money if you're looking to leave with a full stomach. This concept seems to be on the rise with hip restaurants these days, but I think it's a nice way to sample the menu.
