Charming decor, and quick, efficient service. Atmosphere wise, I really enjoyed how the music wasn't overwhelmingly loud (I'm looking at you, Guu). They have a nice patio on the lower level of the restaurant which is below ground level; I really liked that aspect (no traffic disturbance), so I would probably request to sit there next time.
Food:
Pretty good, pretty damn pricey. Everything on the main menu is charged PER SKEWER: the bf and I didn't realize this (despite it being written on the menu, whoops) until the end of our meal. Although delicious, the most expensive item we tried was the eel skewer - one skewer (2 pieces) was about $6.50 (holy mother of..)! The "premium set" ($19.80) was also super expensive imo; 5 skewers of varying meats: chicken, pork, meatballs, beef tongue, and wagyu beef. I understand that we're paying a premium mostly for the wagyu, but almost $20 for 5 tiny skewers is a bit much.
Food standout: We really enjoyed the fried octopus; it was fried nicely, was tender, and came with an A+ dipping sauce. The mochi ice cream (4 pieces of mochi, scoop of vanilla, maple syrup) was also excellent.
Bottom line: don't come on an empty stomach expecting to leave full. I won't be a regular, but this place is good for reasonably priced beer (Sapporo pitchers are currently $10) and a few small snacks (oh yeah, portion sizes are smalllllllllll af).
