Lauren Y.Lauren Yamagata: Head upstairs to the Izakaya and try the pork & brussel sprout skewers, miso braised cod, onigiri, chawanmushi and more! Delicious!

Kat L.Kat L: Get chawanmushi, pork Brussels sprouts, pork miso rice ball. Edamame good for happy hour. Chicken thigh and beef tenderloin skewers were well cooked but disappointingly bland.

Jonathan S.Jonathan Sullivan: The brisket was mouthwatering and flavorful with a great consistency. Also enjoyed the collard greens, coleslaw and mashed sweet potatoes.

EaterEater: Try the moist brisket, the sausages imported from Kreuz Market or any variety of sides. Most nights of the week bring live music and pitchers of Shiner are always $20. [Eater 38 Member]
