SAKE BOMB!
My friends and I had a really great meal last night. The place was packed and reservations are obviously mandatory to get a table.
Having never been to an Izakaya before, I was a bit overwhelmed by the atmosphere and the constant screaming at first, but you get into it and next thing you know you're screaming SAKE BOMB! with everyone in the place.
The food was very tasty and felt like authentic Japanese. The black cod is superbe, the ramen broth spectacular, the beef carpaccio is really good, but really it's the fried chicken that I fell in love with.
It was so good that we stole the order intended for the next table. I'm not even sorry.
I also want to mention the service. The staff was patient, friendly, and made delicious recommendations. The place was packed and they took the time to answer our many questions and never made us feel rushed.
SAKE BOMB!
