| - So a nice atmosphere accompanied by expensive, forgettable food.
Went here with my boyfriend again after a brutally hot day. The pitchers of cold Sapporo just hit the spot, but it's not the cheapest beer option in the vicinity ($19).
The ambience is not at lively as Guu, but that might be better for carrying on a conversation. The decor and communal tables are great, and the extensive selection of sake and cocktails is quite interesting to pick through.
Unfortunately, the food menu is forgettable. Over the course of many visits (we work nearby), we tried several items: the Tokyo hotdog, beef tataki, black croquettes, deep-fried pork belly, torched mackerel, fried squid, and green tea dessert. There was nothing that was inedible, but nothing spectacular either. Furthermore, the menu isn't the cheapest in this area...my tip is if you feel like Japanese split ramen at Sansotei or Santouka, or curry at Gyugyuya. Come here for the drinks if you want sake, but if you want beer head north or east and spend less money.
Service is usually very kind and friendly, but can be slow.
