    Great casual dinner. Service was great. Food was spot on. Godzilla would be proud of those claws. Great job. Looking forward to my next meal.

    Came here to celebrate my cousin‘s birthday. I’ve been to this restaurant before, but my friends have not so we ordered a little bit of everything from the menu. Everybody was great. Food was great. I brought a cake in and they set it up. Really nice sleep on a plate. Thank you so much.

    I had a great experience here at this Izakaya. It is more like a fusion Izakaya, and the cocktail are absolutely tasty. The Server is able to arrange a counter seat for me, very professional and efficiency.

    Loved the Chicken Karaage ! We ordered a bunch of plates to share at the table. King Oyster Mushroom and the AAA Beef Tenderloin Skewers, the Yaki Udon, Yokai Signature Maki, Our favourite- Lobster and Shrimp Tacos, we also ordered the wings and oyster special both were rated leas the 3/10 at our table so I would pass on those. Will 100% be back over all would give them a 8/10- have to be back for their boozy brunch Note: we went on Wednesday it was their Oyster night $1 per 12 per person. We only ordered 6 to try at first glad we all agreed to not order more. 1/3 ppl fell ill from them.

    The risotto was our favorite dish of the night. The oysters were poorly shucked. I was able to find pieces of shell plus some of the oysters were torn.

    We enjoyed every dish and drink we tried. Our favourites were the steak frites, lobster tacos and waygu burgers! The ambience was very fun and upbeat. Our servers were quick and super friendly. We will definitely come back!
