Every time I go there, it's absolutely packed. Hint: you might want to make reservations. Personally I like staying at the bar, unless I'm with a bigger group, because it's big enough that you can set many plates.
I like the vibe of this restaurant. It's not a pure Izakaya in the traditional Japanese way, but the twists make it cool [E.G the DJ and house music on Fridays and Saturdays]. The food is good. I usually go there to drink but at the same time I order a bunch of stuff to munch on. I like the beef tongues and the short ribs the most because I find that it's a good complement to Sake =P.
