    We were all party of 3 and stay near the window. Our server Kevin was GREAT! He periodically checked in to make sure we were doing OK and made sure our table was cleared. Amongst us, we had the mac and cheese, biscuits, fries seasoned with cajun and furikake, and shrimp & grits. Everything was delicious! The mac and cheese by far took the "favorite" award. I had the Gumbo Ramen and it was good. My only suggestion would be to find a balance of seasoning and broth. It was a bit salty for my preference but I would definitely recommend for anyone to try it. We all had around of "So fresh, So Clean" (actually 3 arounds) and two arounds of "Spicy Honey". They drinks were yummy and not over powering of alcohol. Thanks for having us!

    Nice Japanese yakitori bar where you can get decent drinks and yakitoris. I really liked squid ink karage and pork belly yakitori. Considering the price, portion is small here. If u want a place with drinks with small foods, i recommend coming here!
