“ This is the next happiest place besides Disneyland. When you come here, be prepared to laugh a lot and go home with a smile. The staff here are incredibly warm and funny. My 5 year old daughter and I had an incredible time talking, laughing with the staff and the customers next to us. The sakes here are all priced at the same price so it was really easy to order (too much). I enjoyed the sashimi platter with the smoked hamachi which was the first time I have seen in an izakaya. The only complaint was I found some of the dishes a little salty like the stir fried ramen and the chicken skewers. The prices here are all reasonable and I’d come back here frequently if I stay in the neighbourhood. ”
“ It's one of my favorite places to be in the world, bar none. Been there multiple times over multiple visits to Japan and have always had an absolutely amazing time. Staff are super friendly and accommodating, other patrons are always willing to have a conversation, and the food and drinks are incredible as well. I heartily recommend asking for their recommendations and just going with it, you'll be pleasantly surprised. ”

“ What can I say about this place. It feels like eating at a bbq in your back yard with all your best friends. Atmosphere is top notch and always fun. Make sure you ask to do the challenge to flip your own pork egg roll for some extra fun and great for pictures ”
“ Ate all the food that was recommended and it was all delicious. The ichigo highball and matcha shochu were also tasty! The service is the best part. Everyone, staff and locals, is friendly. We didn't have a reservation and the seating was full, but they whipped out a corner table to seat us quickly. When there was space we got to sit at the counter and it was amazing. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great time with good vibes. ”
