More Comments at Google MapMy husband and I were looking for a place to eat that’s opened late and decided to try this place. The language barrier posed a challenge when it came to ordering as most of the waitresses and waiters don’t speak English so they couldn’t explain why we couldn’t order a set menu. But they were polite and gave us recommendations on individual dishes, which we really appreciated. This seems to be a popular place for drinking paired with finger foods. And a drink for each person is required. We ordered the salt straw grilled chicken and duck, mizutaki, Kyoto oboro tofu, uni squid, simmered beef…we left with happy full bellies. Highly recommend the straw grilled chicken and duck, they were both excellent!
After a bite of sashimi I realized that I haven’t had this quality of food in a while! The signature warayaki and mizudaki were both amazing. The truffles risotto was replaced by matsutake risotto because of the season and it’s also a must to try. Definitely going back soon.
♥Good points♥ The taste was amazing! He explained each item one by one and I was able to thoroughly enjoy it. The rich straw-grilled egg yukhoe is especially great. Children were ordered separately, but they advised me not to pay too much and were very conscientious. The appearance and taste left a lasting impression on me, and I'm glad I chose this restaurant. 💀Unfortunate point💀 However, the delivery is very slow! That's the only regret. I had to wait a long time for the second half of the dishes. I think it can't be helped because it was crowded, but I ordered a drink and it didn't come for 15 minutes, so I asked if it was okay to place my last order. I'm sorry to hear that. I thought, if you're going to come and tell me that, bring it with you. If you want to order all-you-can-drink, you should check the crowds and order early. But in the end, the taste, the deliciousness of the ingredients, and the presentation were top-notch, so I won't lower it from 5 stars.
