Ambience is good. Love how the place is nicely spaced out. Food is yummy too. Price is on the higher price point but acceptable.

Food was ok, service was average and choice was very limited. For such pricing (just 2 pax, no alcohol, >$60+/pax), I would believe that the service should be better and taste-wise a little better than average. Was there for convenience, probably wouldn’t make another trip there if given a choice.

I remember they used to have a wide variety of food selection but when I went there again after Covid-19, I was disappointed to find that their food selection had dwindled to only a few options.

Rather slow service, but it was a busy Saturday evening before a show and it looked like there was just one chef. Service staff were polite and apologetic about the wait. We had a few wrong dishes sent wrongly to our table that we had to turn away - it bothered me that the food got so close to us as we were talking before we could turn it away - because, hygiene for the food’s actual customers is important! Food was okay; skewers were nicely done

Ordered a $20 gyu appetizer which was really bad. Avoid. It had some sort of pink sauce on top. Chicken Kaarage was good but Chirashi Don was also not filling at all. Went with a friend to celebrate her birthday and restaurant did not have candles, which is understandable, but they did not even have the courtesy of giving us a free dessert. Overall, worst $100 I ever spent for 2 people, no alcohol.

Food was delicious and the hot sake was wonderful too. Edamame stir fry was quite an inspired choice. Service staff were a little inattentive even though the restaurant wasn’t super busy

Staff were a bit overwhelmed on a busy Friday night. You’re paying for a convenient location next to the theatre and marina, but food didn’t taste all that fresh and limited fish portion on the rice bowl and chirashi plates.

Had the Chirashi Don. They are super generous with the sashimi slices. Slices are thick and good. Value for money. Service is quick and good as well. Will definitely visit again!

Great place to hang out with friend(s) to share food/drinks. Might be hard getting attention of service staff if you're seated way outside (although the ambience is better, if weather conditions are good).

Variety of food and beverages is wide. Ambience is not as rowdy as Harry's which is just beside. Service is commendable. Will go back again.

Service is patchy even though the restaurant is not too busy on a Saturday night. A lot of variety for food selection but can't say they are of high quanlity, just mediocre. Makes for a convenient meal if catching a show at Esplanade.

Staffs are friendly, food are acceptable as well. Not busy for Hump's day night. Food generally good, like most of their grilled food (like chicken liver and some asparagus wrapped in bacon) , gyoza and garlic fried rice. Their beef cubes are overcooked though.

Pork belly skewers were great. Tempura shrimp was rubbish. The batter was really thicket and chewy. Tempura should be light and crispy. Pretty sure I could do better at home.

Food was ok. Flavour of the grilled squid needs some improvement. Service was slow and can be improved. Staff was polite, friendly and trying their best. Suggest getting at least 1-2 more staff on weekends.

Izakaya supposed to be tapas food but the serving is quite big! Loved the fried rice and udon, the cod fish was a little too sour for our liking though.
