Review Summary

Bar Big In Japan draws praise for a sultry, intimate speakeasy vibe, moody lighting, and unique decor with bottles hanging from the ceiling, making the unmarked entrance easy to miss. The cocktails are frequently described as well crafted and strong, with favorites like Fleur de Sureau and Tokyo mule; several reviews note attentive service, though a few guests found the staff unapproachable or the service slow when the bar was busy. The atmosphere is celebrated as perfect for dates and small gatherings, with jazz and subdued ambiance aiding conversation, though some mention the music being a touch loud in a small space. A few notes highlight where experiences vary: certain drinks miss expected flavors, espresso martinis arriving with coffee grounds on top, and heat from HVAC or crowds can dampen comfort; some critics also dislike upfront payment or card-hold policies. The spot is widely praised as a hidden gem with a drink-focused program rather than a food destination, offering good value during promos and a memorable, stylish night out, even if weekend lines form and the crowd can be lively. Overall Bar Big In Japan is recommended for those seeking a chic, intimate night out with a standout ambiance.View restaurant profile

Gyubee Japanese Grill

Opens Today at 11:30 am

(912)

Downtown, Shaughnessy Village

Japanese BBQ Grill

Review Summary

Gyubee Japanese Grill offers an all you can eat Japanese BBQ experience with a wide and often outstanding selection of meats that are fresh, well marinated and quickly grilled at the table. Reviewers praise the quality and tenderness of the beef and other meats, the satisfying sides, bibimbap option, and the fast, attentive service that keeps drinks refilled and orders coming on busy nights. The atmosphere is described as clean, vibrant, and sometimes a bit loud when crowded, with some notes about a robot delivering food and a modern ordering setup via QR codes. A common caveat is the popularity which leads to long wait times and the need to join a waitlist or plan ahead since reservations may be limited, and there is typically a time limit per table. Some comments mention language barriers, occasional inconsistencies in service or in meat seasoning, and dessert quality, but overall value, variety, and the all you can eat format keep many guests returning.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

Overall, customers praise Sushi Japango for consistently high quality sushi and friendly, helpful staff, with fast service and a welcoming vibe. The sushi is described as fresh and made to order, with great tasting ingredients, and menu items such as avocado sushi and kamikaze rolls are commonly ordered during lunch. A platter of nigiri is noted as a good addition to a holiday spread, and many reviewers say the sushi is worth the price.

A comment about lemon in miso soup is mentioned as unusual, while a pickup counter is part of the setup and the sushi remains delicious.
