Non-descriptive folding sign in front of a door leading to a basement restaurant. Enter and you are transported to a Japanese true Izakaya maybe located in Shinjuku Tokyo. Industrial walls, concrete floor, hanging strings of lights and an open kitchen. An underground, underworld where Japanese...is shouted to fill air. Not too loud music I can recognize or sing to from the 80s makes for a cool sound track. The food is delicious and straight from the real J-Town. This is what the business men and women have for their after work meet ups. The fish in fish dishes is really fresh Try the avocado/ tofu salad with miso with finer dressing. 2 kinds of fried chicken (soft fried with creamy potato salad or crispy style). Octopus balls which are equal to Osaka’s famous. Four to five dishes is enough for a couple. Sapporo and Kirin on tap. A fun authentic meal. Reasonably priced.More

This restaurant has fairly priced food that is HEAVENLY. I ordered the takoyaki, and the yaki cheese potato. I also recommend the creamy kimchi udon! Quick service, told a 20 minute wait but it ended up being 10. Their desserts are amazing too, the tiramisu...was great and the cheesecake was my favorite I’ve ever had! (Whole life) I didn’t try the mochi ice cream so I can’t say if it’s good but it looked good!More

We arrived for lunch without reservation. Only needed to wait 15 minutes, even though the place was full. Amazing food and the service was super. We can really recommend the cocktails, which are freshly made.

There were 2 people in our party. Did not have/make reservations, but we were seated very quickly. Best salmon sashimi I’ve ever had. Great service. I would definitely recommend going here. Kimchi Cream Udon was fantastic. Tuna Tartar was fantastic as well

The restaurant is always packed with many people waiting outside. We had to make reservation ahead of time. Foods were served fast and all of them very delicious. Service was excellent, there were many waiters/waitresses and if you ever need anything, they’ll quickly help and...serve you.More

One of our favorite places when we come to the City. The sushi is so fresh. In addition to rolls, we had the Tuna Tataki and Gyoza and both were amazing. This is a hopping place and the staff and service are wonderful.

This place was recommended by the receptionist in the hotel where we are staying, which was 2 buildings away. We decided to try the place and was soooo glad we did. All the food we ordered were good. Definitely highly recommend this.

We were looking for sushi near our hotel and TA had high rates for this place. We were here about 2:00 PM and had a 5 minute wait. After we were seated we quickly had our food: edamame, shumai and a dragon ball. All were...excellent! We plan to come back and have a big meal the next time!More

A friend recommended this restaurant. Almost didn’t find it, as you need to go down from the street level by the stairs. Waiting time was fine, 15 minutes. And. Was so much worth it. Had tuna tataki, several Susi rolls, a variety of sashimi. Was...to hungry and forgot to take some pictures. All was so fresh and delicious. Service was great, although felt like they are pushing us to finish our dinner as the waiting line was long.More
