                    My boyfriend and I discovered this place last summer and it has become both of our favorite restaurants for whenever we just want to eat amazing food. I crave their curry doria and chicken nanban--to the point that I've tried recreating at home from recipes I found online. But they're unbeatable. Not to mention, I love their "sour" drinks. It's a highball (shochu, soda water, ice) mixed with fresh citrus juice that they squeeze right in front of you. Nothing could be more refreshing! It's not a cheap meal, but it's not terribly expensive either. Last time I went with three others, we ordered probably 10 dishes, each getting 1-2 drinks, and it was $40 per person.

                    The space is small, but the food is incredible. Each dish was better than the next. The chef we had was the 2015 Udon Champion from Japan and it was delicious. We kept thinking we were full, but we had to order more and more. The waitstaff were friendly, helpful and charming. A wonderful evening. Will recommend it to all my friends.

                    The service is a little clunky and the space leaves a hell of a lot to be desired, but the food is really great. Mainly small izakaya type dishes to be shared. Almost everything I've eaten here is on point.

                    Great spot that we've been wanting to try for a while. Food, staff and decor were amazing. I was only slightly annoyed with the cold gusts of wind from people coming in and out to check on their table.
