Restaurant space is tiny - as expected of all the places in J-town. I found that when it's busy I'd rather sit at the counter and watch them grill my food, but that's just me. There aren't any decent izakaya places uptown so this is a great place close to home. This place is definitely not children-friendly - there is simply not enough space and the tables are too close together.
I've been here a few times and each time ask the waitresses for recommendations (in case I've missed anything new on the menu). So far they've suggested different items each time. The dumpling-stuffed chicken wing seems like a novelty thing to try, but I'd have to say that was the least impressive of the items I ordered. Definitely try out their grill skewers, but I also enjoyed the squid sashimi too. I usually order the squid rice just to fill up in case all the little dishes don't do it for me, but in the end I'm usually more than full.
I'd say the menu is definitely small. While I still enjoy most of the dishes available, it would be nice to see more additions or variations of what they have.
