Tried this restaurant today for the first time & was excited to try their ramen. Disappointed that there are only two ramen options. We ordered their chicken karage & tonkotsu ramen. The chicken karage was rather underwhelming & the broth in the ramen was extremely salty, though I love that there are 3 different proteins in the ramen.
The chicken karaage was delicious, & the mushroom dish was pretty good too. Giving the choice of ramune as a drink was nice, & the dessert choices looked really good particularly the cheesecake, although I have the creme brulee which was also very delicious. If I were to go back I would change my order, & purchase the edamame, rather than the mushrooms, & I would also get the cheesecake rather than the creme brulee. This is a very popular restaurant so be sure to reserve in advance, as you're only able to get seats at the bar despite arriving right at the opening hour.
Repas 5 étoiles!! Tout était excellent. Le maître d'hôtel, un vrai maestro! Merci pour le service chaleureux & attentionné de Nick & chapeau au chef & son équipe! On voit que tout le monde est sur son X. Gros merci
Honestly my favorite restaurant right now! The food is delicious & the service is amazing. You can taste a great variety of foods & not spend a fortune. Highly recommend!
Everything was 10/10 - Amazing food & impeccable service! Only thing to be careful for is the extra fees for sauces they suggest you add on to your meals.
La nourriture était excellente mais juste le Ramen aux fruits de mer décevant pour le prix. Le bouillon avait tres bon goût mais c'était des minis pétoncles & crevettes. On aurait préféré 1 ou 2 gros pétoncles & même chose pour les crevettes.
Felix was rude at te begining. He touched my jacket which on my side chair. Without saying anything. He could atleast tell me. Then i saw the costumer beside us also occupying another chair for his jacket & bag. I dont mind removing it. But touching it without a word is kinda disrespect. The name izakaya is japanese. I thought they will have the attitude same way back in in my homeland japan. Just ruined my mood.
Rosalie offre un service exceptionnel. La bouffe est délicieuse. De plus le bartender avec le mullet court & la moustache est tres sympathique & compétent.
