    Service was really poor. We were 9 people, from 5 to 10. Waitress left without any transition around 7:30 then , NO ONE came to see us for more food or drinks and we had to get someone for a glass of water. We also had to harass the other waitress for our checks However, the food was delicious and its a really nice place

    We (3) ordered the Motoyaki surf & turf, had one bite and dropped it. Too salty, terrible meal that we ever had in a nice restaurant. We asked the waiter to have the chef tasted our salty surf&turf to get a feel of it! We ordered 1 Robosutaa roll with the waitress because our assigned waiter was busy, unfortunately we never got the roll! Overall it was terrible experience! For what we paid, it was not worthy!

    Went for lunch on a busy weekday. The lunch menu is different to the evening Isakaya menu. It’s more for the “grab a main” office crowd. In any case, we were able to get a table at short notice. What stood out was the super friendly and knowledgeable service. Food was good, although the sashimi we ordered took some time to arrive. We got it after our mains. Overall a good quick lunchtime meal. We will definitely be back for the full Isakaya experience at dinner
