This place is stellar. The tori karaag was off the charts good (I consider myself a connoisseur of fried chicken). The stir fried rice and grilled beef entrees were also awesome. I love the small plates, so you can try many things. You need something to wash that all down with, so you might as well get some sake. I remember having something with offals that was luke warm that I did not care for. The staff is super fun and seems like there is a reason to sing or chant every few minutes (the sake may have had something to do with that).
