There aren't very many dishes or specialty cocktails, but every one of them is worth ordering. The watermelon caviar was my favorite. The door that you walk in doesn't really look very welcoming but you should walk in anyway.

Food was okay. Not really up to par with the price point. Place was nicely decorated but felt a little stiff. Cute spot for maybe a drink or two on a date night. Would not consider it for larger groups or longer stays.
Staff was exceptionally friendly & courteous. They provided a great experience.

Belle ambiance feutrée où on peut s'entendre parler. Excellents cocktails originaux & très bien élaborés avec plusieurs ingrédients de qualité. Le poké au thon & truffe est excellent. Il y a aussi de la bière japonaise même si elle n'est pas dans le menu.

Beautiful speakeasy. The outside was subtle—mainly black windows with a lantern near the door. Inside, the lighting was very dim, the decore was cozy yet mysterious. We got there close to opening on a Friday & it had a good amount of early birds there for a nice vibe. The drinks were great & service was very attentive. I felt like I was in Tokyo. Such a cool place to visit!

Went for drinks, they're really good!! Service was perfect too. I recommended their Abe (for whiskey fans) & Okame (tequila & litchi).
