The quality of sashimi is awesome. Uni is very reasonable. We waited 30min, but it’s totally worth it.

Come here for the prices and atmosphere. This place is where China Meets Japan. With that I mean that this place is a seafood izakaya in Japan, but is ran by Chinese workers (I’m pretty sure they’re Chinese) working as if they’re in China. With that said, because the place is tight and busy, you have to shout to get service. It kinda reminded me of when I was in China and I’d have to shout at the workers to order something. The food is cheap here. I think they serve almost twice as much the portion as a regular izakaya for the same price. However, the quality of the food is only ok. I’ve had better salmon and otoro at standing sushi bar chains. The drinks were cheap and the mugs were decent sized. Alcoholic drinks were around 300 – 400 yen. I ordered an oolong high and it was one of the strongest oolong highs I’ve ever had. Usually the tea covers the taste of the alcohol, but the oolong high I had was probably oolong high high high. This place is busy, so expect to wait. We were lucky because once we got into line, a spot for 2 opened up so we didn’t have to wait at all. Also, I strongly recommend coming here with someone who can speak and read Japanese. There is no English. Also, since I mentioned you have to shout for your orders and order quickly as it’s busy here, the person should be confident in their Japanese. Furthermore, the workers Japanese isn’t 100% fluent, so yeah. So yeah, come here for cheap prices and the experience! It’s kinda funny though because this establishment is located in a quiet dark neighborhood so it definitely stands out in the area.
