Kevin LeeSeptember 4, 2018I’m a sucker for anything grilled on bincho-tan (charcoal) but the premium beef tongue is something I rarely see outside of Japan.Upvote2Downvote- EHSAN JAFARZADEHMarch 23, 2019Friendly staff and delicious food. The little skewers were great pairing for alcohol. I really liked that. The place was just a little bit too noisy for me.Upvote1Downvote
- Johnnie MApril 19, 2015A good alternative to Guu. Unfortunately this location doesn't have the same great ambience as the Vancouver Denman location, but if you enjoy a meal at an Izakaya, you don't want to miss this place.UpvoteDownvote
- Kenneth H.November 3, 2015I've always wanted to try yakitori and here I wasn't disappointed. Everything grilled hibachi-style to perfection. Fun atmosphereUpvoteDownvote

ee3847May 29, 2015Really cozy place with a cute patio in the summer. Try the teriyaki salmon! That's what teriyaki is supposed to taste like!Upvote1Downvote
David HwangMay 14, 2014$9.99 Pitcher of Sapporo thru August (Sun-Thu). Wagyu Beef Tsukune (meatball), Uzura Maki (Quail Eggs wrapped in pork), Shishito are must haves.UpvoteDownvote

Anna KwanApril 28, 2013The karage were huge pieces and very crispy. Most of the skewers that weren't accompanied by a sauce tasted like char and very similar. Stand outs were the chicken thigh w/ plum and crunchy pork.UpvoteDownvote
Ian LeungSeptember 14, 2014Pretty good overall. BBQ unagi (eel) is awesome. Kobe beef balls also great. Small portions.Upvote1Downvote
