Having always wanted to check this place out, I was quite excited initially when I finally entered the place for a meal with my friend.

What can I say? The service was mediocre. The staff were borderline friendly and the menu was difficult to read. I understand the dim lighting is a feature, but if that is indeed the case, the menu should be more reader-friendly.


I told a male staff that there were two of us and he asked us whether we had booking. I said no and he immediately put us to the very edge of the place at the corner. It was pretty obvious we got the worst seats.


As the place is quite small, I would understand if the place has already quite many bookings and we cannot get better seats. However, friendlier staff would have made the situation better and more comfortable for my friend and I.


Food was acceptable. But for the prices on the menu, I could easily cross over to the Japanese skewer restaurant directly opposite for same, if not better quality food.

However, to be fair, my friend and I both agreed the grilled ox-tongue was quite delicious.


This place was unlike any other izakayas I had been to - most izakayas had friendly staff, if not polite staff that genuinely made their customers comfortable. The chefs were friendly. The waiters and waitresses were not. I suppose making a reservation in advance might have been better?

Anyway, since I have finally tried this place, I should probably check out other places instead.
