Japanese Restaurant · Fenway - Kenmore - Audubon Circle - Longwood · 39 tips and reviews
Noah Weiss: Fun take on a Japanese Izakaya from the famous O Ya team, with a Tokyo hipster vibe and tasty cocktails with lots of tiki drinks. The warm 'rando' section was great: curry noodle + oyako rice bowl.
Lindsay D'Andrea: I am torn. Really cool space, but the small plates rack up a cost I don't feel justifies the meal. Drinks are whimsical in name and ingredients but sometimes don't come together.
Elaine Courtney: Pro: If you're a Kiko Mizuhara fan her photos are all over the women's bathroom stalls. Con: if you're human the level of salt content in food here will LITERALLY kill you. Decisions, decisions.

S: don't come in expecting "real" chinese food but it's fun, funky, and a great date spot! very hipster diner vibe. highly recommend cheap date night.
Kim Pham: "Asian fusion" for hipsters. Underwhelmed with the Dan Dan noodles. There are better, more authentic options elsewhere.
Jess Chasin: Fridays for lunch, order the ramen. Sundays go for dollar oysters and chicken and waffles!

Justin Ordoveza: The vendors are local. This place definitely has a hipster vibe but isn't pretentious. There is very little seating and the restroom require a code from the vendors.

Susan Sherwin: Went for the scene & found myself in Hipster Heaven. Band was outfitted in their thrift shop meets 1950 Havana garb. Even they seemed bored with their music (but ironically so). Grab a PBR & enjoy!
Becka Simon: Honey beer, jazz downstairs, chilling at the bar 👌
Boston.com: If you like your brunch with a jazzy twist, hoof it to this South End hot spot for eats and music. Snack on decadent poutine — cheese fries smothered in gravy and topped with eggs ($14). Read more.
Owen Macindoe: Go for free on Thursday. Chill with impoverished hipsters. Check out Shepard Fairey's iconic work. Tool around with the cool multimedia stuff.
Michelin Travel & Lifestyle: Consider visiting during the day so you can see the art in the museum’s best light, & at night, to take in the building’s glow as its own vibrant piece of art. -- Green Guide Editor
BostonTweet: The ICA has free admission every Thursday night from 5 to 9pm.

Jacey Wright: Low key, awesome beer selection and late night eats
BostonTweet: Ask for the deviled eggs and a Hemingway Heat cocktail. You'll be very satisfied and very tipsy.
