The vibes of this place is great, the service was very friendly however they did miss one of our items. The food was overall good, some items were incredible, my partner had the best vegan ramen she has ever had, and their japanese fried chicken was heavenly, but the katsu sando was overcooked. The cocktails & the soda was good. I would come here again, but maybe at a less busy time.
The food was delicious, the sake as well, and there was a really good selection. The service was good friendly and knowledgeable. The only downside of the place is that the space is really narrow, and the stools are not super comfortable, so it's most suited for a stop and go. But it's definitely a place worth trying out!
The food was absolutely delicious, and the Japanese sake paired perfectly โ really enjoyable!
Initially hadnโt planned to come here, so it was a nice little surprise to find this sake bar! Came for lunch on a Sunday with a friend. Was a bit unsure about seating as staff were out in the back somewhere when we entered, but they were very friendly and accomodating once they came to greet us. We each got their Tamura lunch set โ a Japanese fried chicken (JFC) one, plus an Agedashi tofu set. Was a decent portion size, and food was good. Also, I quite enjoyed having the soy sauce foam for the sashimi vs. having to dip it. Additionally, we had a Yuzu high ball cocktail and a green tea plum wine (if I remembered correctly) between us โ very enjoyable. Only downside is that the place is a bit small, so would advise against coming here if you have a large group. Note: walk-ins are available but making reservations is never a bad idea
I dined at your restaurant tonight and was quite disappointed with my experience. Nearly every dish, except for the dry squid (special), was excessively salty for our taste. What disappointed us the most was that only sauce-based yakitori was available, which was not what we expected. More importantly, I have serious concerns about food safety in your kitchen. I noticed a fly climbing on a chicken sandwich, which made me very uncomfortable about eating the food. Cleanliness and hygiene are essential, and this raised major concerns for me. I truly love the music and the vibe. But please, I wanted to bring this to your attention in the hope that improvements can be made.
