A compact interior creates an intimate atmosphere defined by minimalist wood accents and wall-mounted art that mirrors contemporary urban Japanese aesthetics.

The atmosphere here was just amazing! The food was also very good but a little expensive but that could also be because of the ribs that we ordered which was on the more expensive side. The portions are small which is the concept of the restaurant which are plates to be shared. I enjoyed this place & their mocktails were to die for, might just come back for the mocktails honestly😆

This was an amazing experience! Great food, great people, great ambiance. Our server & the host were both absolutely wonderful & very accommodating, fitting us in during a busy night without a reservation. Despite the crowd, they were still very attentive & all the food was wonderful. The matcha passionfruit dessert is a must-try. Also, definitely go here with people who are willing to try new things. The menu is cool. A side note, though, they don't have the gyudon since it's'summer' but it's currently 40° outside.

La nourriture est vraiment bonne & l'ambiance est très plaisante, mais c'est plutôt cher pour la grosseur des portions.

Très bon mais petites portions donc même si les prix sont corrects, ça monte vite …

We've been looking for an Izakaya to go for a while Biiru was a great surprise! We made a reservation & we got the table at the terrace. The decoration is super nice, the staff are friendly & we had such a good time there!
The dishes were delicious, specially the Okonomiyaki (10/10) & the Beef Tataki (10/10).
We'll definitely be coming back!
