Haven't been back for a while, just realized they have a new menu, which is necessary because I stopped coming back for a while when I was tired with the old menu.
It's still a very nice place for chatting, drinking and munching on delicious small plates. The smoke fish fire show with the Japanese drum effect offers an unique experience of this restaurant. I like the vibe and energy of this place. The bar sitting in front of the smoke fish and yakitori are even better than the table sitting.
Food are not pricy, mostly under $10 per dish. A whole variety of sake on the menu, from cheap to expensive, it's all your choice.
Also they have real Japanese chefs and waitresses, they just added to the authenticity of this izakaya. I highly recommend here for dating or friends gathering. This place always let me leave with a happy mood.
It will be better if they add in more new dishes more often, that's very important for people to not get tired of a izakaya. This is why I gave 4 stars to give it room for improvement on menu.
