Oh boy, oh boy!
Yes and Yes and YES!
Bring on the Izakaya food coma!
Being greeted with a line up of 20 plus people I was glad one of my friends had made a reservation. Less glad when it looked like we did not have one but once the misunderstanding was cleared we were seated.
I love the feel of this restaurant; it is noisy but warm. Our server was very friendly and helpful.
I love attention to detail and thoughtful planning in a restaurant and so I bumped an extra star on there for the storage stools...no jackets/bags etc trailing on the ground in this place...no sirree!
The eats...we had so much food...a disgusting amount of food! But the highlights for me included wasabi octopus salad with seaweed wrap...please forgive for forgetting the correct name; grilled wasabi chicken and beef; beef tongue; sashimi...the sashimi salmon was damn good! We had minced chicken skewers with garlic...those were tasty...oh and do try the pork wrapped asparagus tips!
Grilled chillis were excellent too.
Black sesame ice cream...delicious!
There seemed to be a never ending stream of food and sake!
All in all (between 7 of us) we were about $55 inc tax and tip (each)
Excellent value for good food!\
