The restaurant has a nice atmosphere, with pleasant décor & very friendly, attentive staff. Service was quick & the team was welcoming throughout the visit.

However, the food was somewhat disappointing. The beef & lamb were quite overcooked & lacked flavor, so most of the taste came from the sauces rather than the meat itself. The chicken also seemed lightly seasoned, again relying mainly on the sauce for flavor.

The shrimp tempura was overly fried, which made it feel more like eating very crispy batter with a hint of shrimp rather than shrimp tempura.

Other dishes were decent, but nothing particularly memorable. Overall, the food is perfectly edible, but it may not meet expectations if you're looking for very flavorful or high-quality dishes.

ThAnd snow my kind of Japanese restaurant- no sushi at n the menu! Sure they have sashimi, & nothing against sushi per se - when it's done as a high level food experience (almost never in the west), it's excellent; usually, it's fast food.

In this down tempo At Denis eatery their menu has a huge array of fair priced appetizers that are more than filling (& perfect for sharing) as well as ramen & bao & larger plates.

Their sake based cocktails & large selection of sake are impressive. & highly recommended are the grilled oyster mushrooms.

For me, attention to detail is what takes this place to another level - no ice in the water they serve you, the miso soup is dark, food is sometime served on long wooden planks for large groups. Awesome!
