    Had a great time here with coworkers. Loud but fun environment with fantastic, friendly wait staff. We had a blast with the sake bomb ceremony and all the food was top notch. Definitely coming back.

    I loved it here the atmosphere, the food, the staff everything. I came for my birthday with a big group and the staff were so acxomedating and helpful the whole time before and after my reservation.

    The only negatives I would say is you can't split the bill and since I had a large group of 11 people the bill was really high for all of us, and it is loud you need to do a little more shouting to communicate.

    I honestly loved my visit though it was great the atmosphere was so exiting and lively and the food was good! I am defenently going to have to make another visit back.

    Fun and intimate setting. High-quality food. Great service.
    The ramen is very good. Nice place to go with friends, get several dishes to share, and enjoy a drink. 1L Big Mug of Sapporo is always fun (but heavy!)

    definitely a different experience. Very lively and loud. you can get into spirit of high energy. The food was great too. If noise is not your cup of tea, they also offer patio option. Seating is limited as this place is popular

    Tasty food all around. Lively atmosphere. Good food.
    Pros: tasty fried brie cheese. Creative cocktails.
    Cons: sometimes a bit loud and hard to talk to person next to you. Always a bit of a wait.

    Great food and atmosphere! Their selection is limited when it comes to vegan options (deep fried tofu, and some salads with a few modifications). They have an amazing almond tofu, and banana tempura for dessert - definitely worth a try!

    Amazing experience! The atmosphere is so lively and welcoming. The entire staff welcomes you with booming excitement and wishes you goodbye in the same manner. The food was AMAZING. Highly recommend the calamari, the saba, and the sashimi salad. Very decent pricing as well. Overall, incredible and authentic experience. Will return!!

    Amazing food and great service. Get ready for a fun time when you come here. Highly recommend. Not a quiet place, but that's part of the appeal. It's more of a social experience.

    Casual and authentic japanese dining experience. The set menus for two are delicious! But beware: food is smoking hot and dishes are served at short intervals that might feel "everything at the same time".

    This is place is loud and full of energy! Make sure you make a reservation, we saw so many walk ins get turned away at the door. The service was pretty good, hard to hear though. The food was also pretty good, though I'm glad there was a lot of samples of things since some things weren't my cup of tea - though others definitely were (the 8 course meal is what we got). And of course the sake bombs!! It was a fun experience, the hardest part is that it's just almost TOO loud that it makes it hard to talk to your company and servers. Very fun place everyone should try once if you've got some friends who love trying new and fun experiences! Get ready to cheer all night long!

    I would give this place more stars if I could. This is probably the most fun I have ever had in a restaurant. We made a reservation for 9:00 pm and the traffic was so bad we had to call and move it to 9:30. They were super accommodating and I was surprised because we went on a Friday. I thought for sure they wouldn't be able to do that. We arrived to everyone working smiling and laughing and all stopping to greet us with loud shouts and waving and a warm hello. It was awesome!The atmosphere is amazing. The staff constantly shouting around when people order special things from the menu and the music selection is perfect. The place was busy from the moment we walked in. We sat at the bar area so we could watch them cooking and be closer to the energy. The food is all tapas style and they have a season special menu as well. All between $5-$14. The food here is fantastic I have nothing bad to say about this place. They did a hilarious happy birthday song with masks and everything for another table. Being at the bar was fun all the cooks interacted with us when they weren't busy. If you want to try sake they have an awesome menu and even have them in bamboo sleeves if you request it. The energy in this place makes you want to drink more and you find yourself shouting along with the staff lol. I could go on forever about my experience here. If you have any doubts about going here your crazy.

    You really don't need another review to convince you how good the food is.
    ALWAYS make a reservation for this place and if you like to eat in peace and tranquility this place is definitely not for you.

    Went there for my friend's birthday. They took a photo of us and uploaded it on their Instagram. Every staff was very friendly and the place is full of energetic vibe. It's definitely not the quietest place but good to chill out with friends. We ordered bunch of appetizers and everything was great. Would recommend to anyone.

    This is one of my all time favourite restaurants. And I have been coming for years. Tapas style incredible dishes like deep fried Brie, chicken knee cartilage, beef cheek and so much more. The restaurant is well lit and lively. Very crowded so not ideal for a romantic or private date but more for a gathering with friends. You can sit at The bar and watch them cook too! The only reason this doesn't get a 5 star from me is because they have really raised their prices significantly over the last 5 years. It went from being great prices to moderate pricing. :(
