★★★★★ 5.0 Patrick Leon · Feb 2026

Highly recommended! Try the okonomiyaki fries! But don't skip on the more standard options either. We had takoyaki, several skewers, karaage, a hand roll, and drinks. Everything was fresh, served hot, and very flavorful. We were late for our reservation (and called to inform) and the staff were very accommodating. One of the owners, Keyo, even came to check on us a few times and chat about his story. We felt so welcomed and left feeling satisfied and full! Can't wait to go back! Such a great experience.

Try all the skewers, just try them all! The fried tofu was delicious, black garlic ramen was a stand out and the katsu curry was delightful. Service was nice and helpful, atmosphere was decent for a week night dinner. Would definitely return.

★★★★★ 5.0 Ayaka Kamei · Feb 2026

Everything was so good! Yakitori, Salmon and Ikura bowl, shakashaka fries, karaage, garlic edamame, drinks, beef don, skewers (omg Hotate!), everything was tasty. Why did I not take pics!? Because I was eating nonstop! The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was uplifting without being too loud—perfect. Will definitely be back!

★★★★★ 5.0 Natalia Rachuta · Jan 2026

We were here at 02.01. Everything was absolutely delicious! The ramen was outstanding, especially the brown butter and black garlic kuro. The loaded fries and the katsu cutlet were also excellent. All dishes were beautifully presented and full of flavor. The ambiance was very nice and inviting, and the staff were friendly and attentive. Service was quick and pleasant. Overall, a great experience - we’ll definitely come back!

If you're looking for a great place to unwind with some well prepared drinks, vibrant atmosphere, and delicious food I recommend you give this place a try. Be warned some of the drinks are made strong so make sure you ask for what you want or ask for a recommendation (they are really good with these :p). Kiyo is an amazing owner and does his best to keep everything running smoothly( he deserves the best in life). If you're reading this bro thanks for the drink you made and I appreciate the cece introduction to you. Overall I'd give this place a true 5/5 because of how long flexible the menu can be, the great staff, and the atmosphere can really bring the social energy out of you.
