| - Went on a Saturday evening in a big group (10+), and didn't have to wait in line, which was surprising. The atmosphere is a really welcoming loud. Diverse group, but if you were smashed and yelling, no one would find you obnoxious. Sat down and tried the sake mojito, which tasted like a diluted, sweeter version of the mix...it was alright.
Then the food...was amazing. Since we had a such a big group, we pretty much ordered everything we wanted and shared the plates. Everything was really tasty, but some highlights:
Sushi roll of the day - don't know what the fish was but it was in between raw and smoked. Really good.
Takoyaki - they make it in a clay pot and was REALLY flavourful.
Seared tuna slices - broke apart in the mouth. So good.
Salmon sashimi - standard, but still different. Just try it.
BACON SKEWER - oh my god. We thought this was going to be like 1 piece of bacon weaver on a skewer and then deep fried. Nope. It ended up being something the guys from Epic Meal Time might appreciate. They basically stuck short pieces of bacon flat on top of each other to make a block the size of a big ice cream bar, then deep fried that. Managed to get through half of one and stopped. But so good lol.
Then we got the birthday samurai sake shorts for a friend, even though it wasn't his birthday to embarrass him =). The staff (like7 of them) come out to the table and start yelling in Japanese REALLY loud, and get the whole restaurant in to sing happy birthday. Then you pour the shots into the old school Japanese boxes and drink out of that.
When the bill came, it seemed higher than what we ate, but I guess stuff at a place like this will add up haha.
Really great experience and would go back for sure.
