| - This Izakaya restaurant was not only a place to get delicious food, but it was a completely immersive Japanese bar experience! This was my first time at a restaurant/bar like this and it completely blew me away.
The menu had a lot of variety with an extensive list of drinks (non-alcoholic, beers, wines, soju) and dishes. Dishes here are typically small plates meant for sharing. There are also set course menus offered where a 10/15 course meal is presented for a set price. This ends up being cheaper than ordering each dish individually, especially when dining with a large crowd. There is a minimum order required on the set course menus of 2 orders. The dishes seem to be priced decently but when they arrived, they were smaller than expected. In the end, because of the small size of dishes, the bills ended up being quite high. I still think it was worth it because of how much fun the ambience of the restaurant is.
There's yelling, there's sake bombs, there's clapping, there's table pounding, it's all present at this Izakaya. Every time someone orders a Sake Bomb, the whole restaurant knows about it and cheers for them as they chug. The layout is what is typical of a Japanese Izakaya i've heard, with low wooden tables and cushions to sit on. This one in particular had a long line of smaller tables by the windows, a long bar and then bigger booths at the back. Quite a small restaurant, but the space was used well. The booths are unique where you have to take your shoes off when you're seated :)
I would definitely return to this location! The staff were very welcoming and treated us well throughout!
Note: There's a 2 hour seating limit once you place your first order.
