| - I found out about this place when a review of it was the featured review on day on Yelp. We went on a bitterly cold Saturday night and as it turns out we were lucky we went early (6:30) as when we were leaving they were going to have to close early due to the heat not working properly and the water not working. Despite these handicaps, we still received an excellent meal that was tasty and very enjoyable. There were even magic tricks at the end of the meal. Since this is an Izakaya, they don't serve entries but plates for sharing. I picked the beef tataki, the okonomi yaki, and tako yaki. My husband picked the salmon tataki, seafood pancake, and tonkatsu tamago toji. I ate all the beef and he ate all the salmon, but the rest we shared. The beef tataki was excellent, not the best I have ever had but close. The okonomi yaki was a bit different from the one I have had before but was still quite good. I had heard of tako yaki before but never had it, and now I hope I get to have it again. The seafood pancake was HUGE, easily enough for more than just the two of us. It was very tasty with lots of seafood and a good dipping sauce. The tonkatsu tamago toji was a twist on the traditional tonkatsu which is topped with an egg and udon broth. I have tonkatsu many times so it was nice to see it taken in a new direction other than just the fired cutlet with katsu sauce. My husband said the salmon tataki was very good as well. We finished with the black sesame ice cream which was quite excellent, even if it looks like a lump of ashes.
Bottom line is I like the place and their food. I would definitely go again. The only real negative is they do not have their own parking lot, you have to park at one of the places across the street and walk to it. We parked at the Tilted Kilt which seemed to have the closest spaces.
