Cosy place with warm service, the young owners are very knowledgeable in sake and very passionate in sharing the knowledge. Those with huge appetite might find the food portions a little too dainty though.

We came on a Saturday night and it was not very crowded. Food was in very small portions and very expensive, but this is quite typical for izakayas. The food was very delicious though.

The Wagyu beef stick and bacon hotate stick is so good! Went on a Friday night and spent around $122 for two. Would come back for the yakitori.

The quality of food is really superb, especially prawns, scallop, charcoal grill, skewers and sushi! The service crew is friendly, helpful and knowledgeable, provides very good recommendation.. Though prices are on the high side, the food quality and service is really worth a visit!

Food is always good here, and it's a vibrant yet cosy atmosphere. Come for both lunch and dinner, as the menus are different. Highly recommended.

Good foods & great lively atmosphere! We had the onigiri, sashimi platter, chef's skewer selections and grilled makerel to share among two. Sashimi was sweet, fresh and love the generous cut. Skewers were delicious especially the Tsukune, it was juicy and packed with flavours. The only downside was we found the sapporo draft beers were not as fresh and pungent. It was not bad but just not the best. Overall, it was a pleasant dining experience, definitely a place we will return!

Awesome Izakaya and value for money. For starters, the guy ponzu was refreshing for the palate. Will recommend the mackerel and Grilled squid paired with the Sapporo draft.

Good choices of sake and selection of food. Service was a bit slow though, probably cos it was packed on a Friday evening. Nevertheless, friendly staff.

Food was great n staff friendly and helpful. But juz that due to peak dinner time on Friday, the staff was not able to see us many times when tried to catch their attention to order more food. But overall experience was good :)

Not comfortable seating. Too crowded. Not family friendly - no high chair and no place to put stroller for baby seating. Food is not good. Expensive for the tiny portion.

Was quite disappointed. Food was not as well prepared as it was mentioned in the reviews. Seems to be shorthanded in the shop as it took quite a while to come back on revised bill.

Very nice food and good service! Quite disappointed that they ran out of sashimi though. And the staffs look busy all the time so our glass of water was never refilled... but still, doesn't really matter because the food were really good! I love the tsukune most! So soft and fragrant! I also really like the mentai rosti. Their potato shreds were not the soft kind you get at Marche but a bit... how do i put it? Fresh and crunchy? And the mentai sauce was just the right amount! Not too much to the point of overpowering the rosti and not too little that i don't taste the mentai. Will definately be back for more!!

Nice place, large sake selection. Would be ideal to have a sake menu stating the characteristics of each sake, as well as the price. Maybe good to include recommended food pairing options as well.

Food was good, but the service was excellent. The waiter went to great pains to explain the menu to us and offered recommendations and seemed very enthusiastic about his work. They have a penchant for many things mentaiko and cheese-related, so you might want to mix your orders up to savour a wider range of flavours.

Good food and serving size. Chicken on skewer too salty. Love the crab gratin, chicken skin dish and beef with roe. Place is a bit squeezy so unless youmind fellow patrons hearing your conversation, this is quite a good hangout place to chill over drinks
