I go here as a sort of tradition where I treat myself after each exam season is over. Pricey but worth it. My only negative experience was when I sat in front of the chefs cooking (the long tables with the high chairs). The view of them cooking food was great but half way through my meal I started to really feel the heat coming from the fryers and stoves. I don't know if it was just an off day for me but I felt very light headed and stuffy. I desperately needed some cool, fresh air.
But don't let this one experience I had keep you from coming here. What I learned from this experience is to just sit at the tables a bit away from the cooks. I got to take the leftover food I had home since I was too light-headed to carry on nom-ing.
Highly recommend the following dishes:
- karaage
- takoyaki
- brie cheese (seriously try this, it's so good)
- ikapiri
- Kakimayo (very cheesey)
- kinoko bibimbap (I MUST HAVE THIS EVERY TIME I GO IN. When they bring it to you sizzling, leave it for a few minutes to let the rice and cheese to get crispy... and there's lots of mushrooms which I love)
Note: The "big mugs" are HUGE! Share-worthy if you're not a big beer drinker.
