welcome to my second ever autistic restaurant review.
disclaimer: i dont have enough spoons or even functional brain cells to keep up with my own stuff, so when i arrive to type up some stuff to say Food Good im usually not fcking around.
This family-run restaurant & tapas bar might be the most beautiful resident of this particular location in the past ten years, or at least that's my opinion. The venue itself is unusually-shaped & large, & the previous restaurant tenants seemed like they werent sure if they wanted to make a hotel lobby or a brunch place, & all repeatedly closed due to weak visions for the menu, or just simply struggled to compete with the many other established local gems. One place prior had incredible moules frites with a cream & leek base (i know it's traditional but i cant remember the name) & they had excellent service, but the menu was as big as the floor & they kinda collapsed.
So when Fukuro put up signs announcing their'opening soon' my spouse & i got really hyped.'That's yakitori in the pic, bruhhh,' i told my husband as i was practically smushed against the glass. I pictured us sitting at the tables near the huge industrial side windows that turn the building into a terrace in the summer. The idea of springtime walks with the smell of crazy hot binchotan charcoal burning, a gaddang classic to join the aromas of the local curry place & the bakery? Dont threaten me with a good time.
Despite our unstoppable enthusiasm about opening, when Fukuro finally opened the doors i was sick as hell with crazy medical issues & i think it was almost a full year before we could get in there. But when we did i was simultaneously excited & relieved.
To quote an overworked Scotsman: Finally some good fucking food.
The menu was fairly compressed (always a good sign) & it's been compressed further since our first visit. The food is kept simple & seasonal, but seasoned exceptionally well, cooked with care & with great skill. It's been a long time since ive had takoyaki prepared like that. EXTRA crispy exterior but with a tender & moist (not wet) interior, & we suspect it was brought to the table a minute or two after theyve cooled down enough to still be nice & hot but not so hot that i burn myself to pieces (because i WILL put that takoyaki in my big dumb mouth as i clearly refuse to learn.) I hope they do grilled squid when it's in season... The pork is tender & charred with a great smoky flavor, & I was stoked to try the vegetarian (vegan?? i cant remember, i am neither) eggplant dish because I dont uhhh really like eggplant. But it was served two ways on the plate, katsu style & like stewed cubes, with big pieces of king oyster mushrooms & bok choy & man.
It was great!
The interior redo that they did is really beautiful. Leaning into the wooden beams & the unusual structure, there's a combination of LEDs, paper, ceramic & sculpture to both vary up the visuals but also greatly break up the sound. The acoustics are pleasant & warm & the vibe was both low-energy chill & pleasantly buzzy.
The hosts & staff are friendly & love to chat but never lose sight of their other guests, & was very exciting to see the place fill up so quickly. I was glad to see mocktails on the menu this time (i wont drink!! my heart cant take no more lol) & i hope to see more, & possibly even more teas. I dont know how business collaborations work but i know that our local Camellia Sinensis has a beautiful range of imported teas & their offices are actually only a few blocks from the restaurant.
rabble rabble rabble My medication has cooked my brain so welcome to the end of my rambling review. We still havent done music or event nights yet as we're both pretty introverted, but the venue is obviously perfect for it. We love the family & we love the food & we hope we can stop in more often.
TL;DR: food tasty, staff friendly & attentive, menu simple & evolving. hell yeah. drop in & see what's up.
We had a perfect night for our friend's 40th. Great food, great drinks, great atmosphere--the whole package! Our waitress, Jessica, really made the evening next level. Incredibly professional, through & through--all while shooting the shit with us & contributing very memorable art to the birthday card. 😅
Thanks for the great night! It was everyone's first time, but we'll be back!
I'd give 6 stars if I could! The bar is family owned everyone is super nice & service is top notch. We didn't have food this time but all the drinks were well-made, taste delicious & super creative. I love the addition of many Asian countries inspired ingredients making this such an unique experience. Will be back for food next time hopefully Fridays for live jazz apparently :)

Amazing food & staff!! Highly recommend the papaya salad & chicken wings 😋 the drinks were also delicious & unique. I'd recommend sharing 6 dishes for 4 people for a great experience
Wonderful staff, incredible atmosphere the decor is wonderful, good for a casual drink, a fancy drink, a birthday, a 1:1 romantic dinner, drink by the bar or small tapas & good food. Lovely!
Food was amazing. I ordered the scallop handroll & the steak teriyaki sizzling plate & they were all amazing. Portions were perfect & drinks were great. Cant wait to go back for live music!

La nourriture est excellente, le menu à une belle variété & les portions sont parfaites pour partager! Les serveurs sont chaleureux & l'overall ambiance du resto est un bon vibe. J'y suis retournée pour un girls night & les drinks ne nous ont pas déçu! Il y avait aussi un live band :)
I have been several times to this great new restaurant. The food is just awesome, fresh & unique. There's a new mixologist, Andrew, who is up to any cocktail challenge.
Perfect spot for a quick drink & a small bite or a great evening & a full delicious meal. The chef & owner Mathieu is just amazing. The entire staff is great & will have you charmed. Give them a chance you'll be going back. Start it off with the fresh home chips & you're all set for a great evening. Great sake & whiskey too :)
