Went here on a Friday night with my boyfriend. We didn't have a reservation, and didn't have to wait for a table at all. Atmosphere is loud but not obtrusive to the point where you can't hear each other (compared to Guu). Servers are friendly despite a little language barrier. I just ended up pointing at what I want on the menu, which worked. We ordered:
ebi mayo
pork and chicken skewers (1 each)
tuna carpaccio
pork belly
beef rice bomb
takoyaki cream puffs (dessert)
4 large sapporo mugs
Total came out to about $80 including tax + tip.
The food was very good. Everything was tasty and went well with the beer. Most menu items are basically appetizer size, which you're supposed to enjoy with alcohol. I guess that is the trick to spreading your money while filling your belly here. Menu items can be pricey and range from $3-$23.
Oh and bathrooms came equipped with mouthwash (disposable cups provided) and q-tips lol.
Definitely glad we tried this place instead of going to all-you-can-eat sushi like we usually do. But if you're feeling hungry and don't want to splurge, you can do the beer and appetizer thing at an a-y-c-e place. Lastly, compared to your local beer and wing pub, the food is on another level so I would rather go here.
