I remember when this place used to be a korean restaurant. Now it is a fancy looking izakaya. When the door is open, it is inviting but when the door is closed, it looks like the restaurant is closed even though there is a sign saying it's open. The interior has all sorts of rustic wood and the lighting level in general was pretty low. Not good for cell pictures.
I ordered the seasonal special: beef tataki. I did not know what to expect but I was surprised to find raw beef on a salad bed and Sauce. The plate looked quite small for a $12 dish. When I tasted it though...It was actually really good! The meat was refreshing and flavourful from the vinaigarette sauce and did not have a beefy odour or bloody taste that I would expect raw beef to have. As expected I wasn't really full after eating but, it tasted really good so I think it was worth the money.
When my friends and I got seated, the restaurant was pretty empty but by the time we were ready to leave it was bustling. The service likewise was good when it wasn't so busy but by the time we were ready to pay the bill, we had to ask 3 different times because it was taking so long and the waitress forgot. My table was also right in front of the cash as well so there was no reason to forget. In the end, we went up to the cashier to pay.
