Me and my partner love this places The chef’s enthusiasm is infectious, so lovely, kind and funny! May have been some of the best food I have tasted on my trips to Japan. She is also very accommodating with the order. I ordered a Squid and Pork Okonamayaki and it was cooked to perfection! The sauce is unreal! I really recommend this place as it’s down a quiet street and it isn’t a tourist trap and it’s so close to some of the main attractions. I don’t normally leave reviews but this is totally worth it! Would definitely recommend and would come again! (Takoyaki was also brilliant)
We got to visit this little restaurant while in Japan and it was probably one of the best things we did for the whole trip. The Takoyaki and Okonomiyaki we're both absolutely incredible, and our server was a whole lot of fun. We all danced and talked about anime the whole time. Next time I'm in Japan I will absolutely be stopping by again!
The food and sake was good. We tried the coke highball, and it was a nice drink. Also, the Price was good and the staff very nice.
First attempt with the tokoyami and that was delicious, happy to try their. The big yakitori and the yakisoba were very good as well.
Very nice people. Takoyaki and beer taste so good!
