I love me an izakaya! But after visiting this one I will have to rephrase - I love me a GOOD izakaya. Came in with the large party. For a place this size you would think that would not be an issue. Here are the problems we faced:wrong orders served, some orders not served at all, long wait time for service, and they would not split the bill more than 5 ways. I will give their staff credit for kindness, humour, rushing to fix issues, and apologizing for their mistakes.
The food is mediocre. I prefer the quality and taste of most of their izakaya competitors. The only thing I could see that sets them apart is the polar bear beer - Sapporo is served with frozen foam that keeps your beer ice cold longer and comes in 4 different sizes. Go large or go home.
I don don think I will be returning to this izakaya.
