Used to frequent this kushiyaki restaurant while staying nearby, the quality of most of the dishes as well as the various kushiyakis was consistently good.

The only dish that I would strongly suggest avoiding is the chicken breast tataki (partially cooked chicken breast), it was not appetizing and it is not recommended to eat uncooked chicken regardless of the source of origin.

Lunch sets are the best values and quite diverse, for an additional fee it is possible to order side dishes to supplement the lunch sets.

There is a seating fee for dinner, and that just entails a bowl of cabbage with ponzu sauce sprinkled on it.

Note that during lunchtime there are smoking and non smoking sections, but due to the way that the ventilation system works you will be able to smell the smoke even if you are sitting in the non-smoking section of the restaurant.

During the evening smoking is allowed anywhere in the restaurant, as such it would get quite hazy due to the lack of proper ventilation to air out the restaurant.

I would not recommend the restaurant to anyone with small children or any person who suffers from asthma due to the exposure to...

Poor service, mediocre food, bad experience.

The staff were fighting, the salt yakitori was bland, the sauce yakitori wasn't cooked at high enough heat so the sauce wasn't caramelized, the mizu-taki tasted of margarine not butter, the other guests were very poorly mannered, and to top it off, it was MUCH too expensive for the quality.

You're better off going...
