Only issue was that the light bulbs flicker, which was a bit intense.

The food is always incredible here! It's definitely a great place to share as much food as possible because you have to split the bill evenly, but it also means you'll try lots of different dishes. The staff are all super lovely, and pricing is also pretty good. Would highly recommend for a small group or a cute date night!

The food was great and the service was good except about an hour and ten minutes into the two hour booking the server fellow was kind of pushing us to leave. So we did go.

We were given the last 2 stools at the bar, one of them has a pillar through the table space so there wasn’t much room. We also weren’t given menus and had to borrow them off the guy next to us. The food and drinks were very good though and we will be back sometime with a not asking not to be sat at the corner of the bar.

It was mostly lovely, but the portion sizes were very small and quite expensive. The chef seemed sick and kept coughing into her hand and using that same hand to turn the skewers as they were cooking. At one point she dropped the tongs on the ground and quickly ran them under the tap before using them again. The food was very tasty, but the lack of care of hygiene standards was a real put off and for that reason I don’t think I will return. However the food we had was very nice.

The food and service was great - authentic yakitori flavour. Ambience however was a little bit disappointing. We were seated at the bar with very little space for two people and it felt quite uncomfortable to eat without having much space to move. The restaurant also felt like it could do with a clean.
