Food: Relatively satisfying but nothing profound

The Yakitori and Pork Belly w/ Shiso bring flavors to the table, yet freshness can be hit or miss. The Chicken and Green Onion Skewers hold their own, but diners might wonder if they’re savoring a culinary triumph or just a passing indulgence, especially with concerns over quality.

  • Great Variety

    Extensive menu with a good variety of choices and decent pricing.

  • Okay Value

    Can get pricey, but quality of meat and sauces very excellent.

Vibe: Charming ambiance, not a crowd gatherer

The ambiance is inviting, cozy, and lends itself to intimate occasions, despite the restaurant's unusual emptiness during peak hours. The extensive sake list adds an enjoyable layer, although the quiet atmosphere might crush the buzz one typically seeks for an exciting experience.

  • Great Comfort

  • Okay Aesthetic

    Ambiance is simple yet modern, creating a generally nice backdrop for dining.

Perks: Awkward service despite ample parking

While parking is straightforward, other perks falter. Cramped seating isn’t conducive for larger parties, and service has garnered complaints of slowness and inattentiveness, leaving diners feeling somewhat neglected even amidst an otherwise pleasant setting.
