I can't believe I've waited so long to review this spot, because I don't think it gets enough love as a go to spot around town. This is a fantastic spot with great food, great atmosphere and amazing service.
I'm drawing a lot of this from memory, and the way my memory is the fact it stands out should be proof enough of how much I enjoyed. I think we were here either on opening day or maybe the next day, so the first thing to notice is that it was great from the get go. There wasn't a breaking in period, a slow start, a disco ball falling from the sky onto a crowd of coked up partiers.... oh wait that was Club 54 in 1978 (probably).
Walking in, the restaurant is beautiful, like walking into a Japanese dream. Lanterns light and hang in multitudes throughout the restaurants, offering a soft glow that is great for dinner but not so great for the picture taking ;).
Sitting down, we were greeted very quickly and placed a saki bomb order to start the night. Being an Izakaya, we were able to order several dishes to get a wide variety dishes to try. The curry rice was my favorite, I can mainly say this with great confidence because that's the only one I remember the name. Outside of that I do believe I enjoyed everything except the fried chicken, and not because it was bad, but because there was nothing unique to it. It was like popcorn chicken you could get anywhere.
I will not mark them down for this though because everything was an A+ experience. I do wish I had written this review sooner, so the lack of detail is on me, not them. Go here and enjoy.
