The food here is quite nice, and the cocktails are genuinely fantastic. While the portions are on the smaller side, the overall flavor of every dish is delightful. Personally, I especially love the drinks—theyre a standout feature of this place.

An aesthetic tucked away restaurant in Berkeley which is Well worth the time to stop. The service was efficient. The ramen broth was beautiful, and the soup was complexly flavored, sweet and umami. The meats in each dish were tender and seasoned with care. I cannot recommend this any more highly!

Great dinner tonight! The workers were very kind, and we enjoyed our food! 😊 The atmosphere and decor made me feel like I was in Japan. The place is small so make sure you come right away when it opens, or on a weekday or else youll be waiting in a long line. We also had a fun time using their free cotton candy machine after dinner.

Great new addition to downtown with a fun atmosphere and solid izakaya menu. Tempura, tofu, and okonomiyake were most memorable. Nice cocktails too!Waitlist seating, we waited about 25 minutes for a group of 4 on a Friday night.Really feels like being transported to Tokyo!

A lovely place for a Japanese grill! The options for vegetarians are limited but the tofu fried rice is excellent. I should also note that the food takes a while to come out so dont come here if youre in a rush;)
