| - The izakaya food here is more fusion than traditional, but still very delicious. The prices per dish is higher than Guu's but the portion sizes are also much larger. The noise level in my opinion is pretty loud (the music is really loud), but I don't mind because Izakayas are traditionally not quiet restaurants.
This place has a club like feel resulting from the music volume and selection and also the dark low level lights. It is much less lit than Guu, but I can still see the menu. The only issue I have with the lighting is that I wish the bathrooms were also not dark as heck, and if it has to be dark, that there was not a small step from the bathroom stalls, I almost tripped and fell because it was so dark and the small step was place in an unexpected area, this is especially bad if you are a little tipsy which people has a high probability of being since it is an izakaya!
We had the sashi mori, which is basically the chef''s daily special sashimi, we got a good selection of sweet scallops, yellowtail, ahi tuna,salmon and albacore tuna. The seafood was fresh and high quality! The beef tataki, spicy pork ishi yaki, and kobe beef bites which were all good. The bill was around $90 after tip, so it was definitely a bit more pricey than Guu. They do have 1/2 price tapas from 5:30-6:30pm daily for happy hours, so it is probably more affordable to eat then.
I like how this place takes reservations and they are on open table! Overall, a good experience and I will return to try more dishes (hopefully during happy hour!)
