This is my first time trying this place. I'd say the food is good, but I've definitely had better ones at some other izakaya places.
The ambience is typical for an izakaya, but I was surprised to find that the waiter and chef are Koreans not Japanese.
For the food: on a scale of 5
1.The grilled squid 5
The grilled squid is pretty good. It's juicy and tender yet have a slightly chewy feel, which is exactly what I expected for a squid dish! The mayonnaise on the side is very tasty and flavorful.
Highly recommend!
2. We got a skewers set B, 4
which includes some chicken skewers, beef skewer, and grilled tomatoes. I like the skewer with chicken thigh. It's very flavorful and tender. The chicken breast with rice cake one is a bit on the dry side. The beef skewers is kinda salty too my taste? and the salt is sprinkled unevenly on this skewer. The grilled tomatoes are nice.
3. Japango rolls 3.5
This is just average rolls you can get anywhere, not special.
I know I shouldn't expect a izakaya place with super tasty rolls, so this is just Ok.
4. Gyu don 3.5
If you are expecting some authentic Japanese gyu don and this will let you down... it comes in a hot stone bowl which you typically found in Korean restaurants and it tastes nothing like gyu don but beef bulggugi ! But the taste is fine. The portion is really small tho.
The service is good, they are really nice and polite.
Overall, I'd come back sometime after to try some other dishes.
