Went here after a show not expecting much because this was the nearest ramen place but so happy! The karaage curry rice was full of flavor, the pieces were huge and I was stuffed. Gg says the spicy tonkatsu ramen was good too. And the servers were so friendly! Will be coming back, they sat us immediately for dinner even tho we didn’t have a reservation

delishhh izakaya. star of the show was prob the salmon carpaccio!! i enjoyed the umeshu highball and tuna tartare too. the miso black cod was good (im j a little meh on cooked fish). i wouldn’t get the lemon miso salmon again tho it was difficult to get even portions of it w the potato. to be fair i spent a lot of time yapping so the fish went cold LOL. i will say it was quite pricey: we got 2 cocktails and 4 dishes and it came out to like $80 a person?

Unlike the truly awful los tacos breakfast burrito I had this morning, this truly exceeded the on the floor expectations set by @allendai #king The salmon was so good, would get all the dishes with it, the curry katsu, and drink again. Huge menu so lots to try!!! So happy everyone is having such a good week! Oh and running point on Netflix is pretty fun if looking for a show! Swipe to end to see my submission of super cute pics of @ally and @arlen

idk what @allendai was on - I almost second guessed my choice when I saw his review. The cold green tea soba with salmon was great, the potatoes in the curry were sooo soft and the Friday squid legs and karaage were solid Th soft cloud cocktail I got was also gr8 Never second guessing myself again

Restaurant was nice and trendy, staff was good and they have a deeep menu. I ordered the unagi donburi which was a little fishy for $32, it was alright. The pasta and clams were really good, but not crazy. I’d come back to try more of their stuff
