My favorite of the izakaya restaurants that I have tried to date.
Very good food, nice low-key environment where you'll find the jeans and t-shirt crowd next to a table of young Japanese couples in traditional attire. Not a bad sign that the patrons are a good 70% or more Japanese. Nicest servers in the city. Good prices, great food! Everything is very well presented.
When my husband and I say 'izakaya' we now are only referring to this one. It has reached a status for us of being synonymous with the entire class of restaurant.
