    The food was delicious and the mixed shochu drinks were yummy as well! I would come back for a few mixed shochu drinks and shareable small plates. We got the Buta Meshi claypot rice (bbq pork belly with a poached egg). Super yummy, the raw egg yolk always adds a nice layer of creaminess to the rice. I'd recommend requesting for some dashi on the side to mix into your bowl at the end for a nice chazuke (dashi broth over rice). The service was slow, the servers were busy but it took a while to get our order taken or items from follow up requests. They were friendly despite the slow service. The food came out relatively quickly. Other than the service everything else was good! Plenty of parking, the restaurant is located in a plaza with shared parking spaces.

    Went here with my family for a birthday dinner on a Saturday night. Reservations were easy to make on Yelp, the table was ready when we arrived, and all the workers were friendly. We ordered the Tenpura Moriawase, Tenpura Udon, Sake Oyako Meshi, Rib-Eye Steak, and the Okonomiyaki style pizza. All the food was really good (the salmon clay pot rice was my favorite dish) and the service was amazing as well. Our server checked on us a lot and was pretty helpful. The ambience was perfect for dinner- not awkwardly quiet and not too loud either. My family sat in the booth in the back (not tatami style, shoes were still on) and we were able to hold a nice conversation while eating without anyone too close to us. This was my second time dining here for a group dinner and overall everything was great both times. 5 stars! :)

    Food is very good, but service is so so. They have a 90min limit for each table but the food only comes around 40min or so. We had to wait for a waiter to help us order for 10min as well. I really think they should start the clock after all food have been served.

    tl;dr - wait is ridiculous, food is good, tatami rooms look cool, but the benches are uncomfortable We were told the wait was 15 min, but ended up waiting almost an hour. All of the dishes we ordered were really tasty. The meshi had nice crispy bits on the bottom. They bring it to you and mix it up in front of you. The beef tongue had a nice beefy flavor and was tender. My second visit, we were in the room on the side which looked cool because it was like a tatami mat room, but the bench was pretty uncomfortable for a 2 hour meal.
