I reserved a table for 8 for my bday and it was a lot of fun for all my guests including myself for supper. I would definitely recommend this resto for a trendy modern Japanese bar vibe for almost any celebration, birthday, get togethers, dates--you can use this as an excuse to share food ;-)--but it's not that child friendly in terms of food options, better to get a baby sitter. They don't shout out greetings as you enter but that's nice because the Kinka Izakaya does and at one point it's just too loud. The highlight for eating there has to be the sake bombs, and they have some serious triple decker setups for you to pound down and pound down (drink-wise). The staff are totally on point service, complete with towels to wipe up any splashed drinks and flyaway chopsticks and returning everything to normal for you to enjoy your meal and drinks. My friend secretly asked them to get me a matcha green tea cheese cake because it was my bday and all of a sudden all the lights went out and then the staff start singing happy birthday much like the way they chant out the sake bomb. The food portions are pretty good and all my guests who've never been there before all enjoyed their experience. If you're a large group be sure to reserve and for groups larger than 6 they require a credit card for reservations. Overall, its a great place to head out and enjoy, and hope your experience is a good one as well!
