The food is decent, the atmosphere is very San Francisco hipster/trendy, the service is good, but the portions are very small, and the prices are exorbitant.For 3 people, we ordered:- 5 x breast- 1 x miso breast- 1 x thigh- 1 x ume thigh- 1 x inner thigh- 4 x achilles- 6 x meatball- 3 x wing- 1 x rib- 1 x heart- 1 cucumber salad- 1 eggplant salad- 1 XO fried rice- 1 bottle of sake- 1 whiskey lemonade- 1 bottle of still waterThe only skewer that stood out for me was the achilles.

For 3 people, we ordered:
- 5 x breast
- 1 x miso breast
- 1 x thigh
- 1 x ume thigh
- 1 x inner thigh
- 4 x achilles
- 6 x meatball
- 3 x wing
- 1 x rib
- 1 x heart
- 1 cucumber salad
- 1 eggplant salad
- 1 XO fried rice
- 1 bottle of sake
- 1 whiskey lemonade
- 1 bottle of still water
The only skewer that stood out for me was the achilles. The skin had a lovely crisp. The meatballs were supposed to be their star dish. On their own, they were somewhat somewhat bland. The raw egg/soy sauce dipping sauce does not add any flavor other than saltiness. All the other skewers were forgettable. The cucumber salad had a simple dressing, and some pine nuts. The eggplant salad was way too sour. The cucumbers in the eggplant salad, the fried onions (I think) and the vinegar-based dressing were the prevailing flavors. The delicateness of the eggplant was complete lost. The rice was good, and was the only reason we left just somewhat full.
The above quantities are from my recollection, and are approximate numbers. We paid close to $2200 for the 3 people. This place is great for anyone who indexes more heavily on the scene, expat/hipster clientele, atmosphere, or hype than the actual flavors and textures of the food.
