    If you have ate at one of these in Japan do not have high expectations it’s close but not that close. Meat was good but only two items can be ordered at a time and very strict rules so pay attention it’s understandable. Other than that it was a great experience

    Awesome spot, I wish I was local so I could try the entire menu. Cocktails and service were great. The main dining room is a beautiful room at the backside of the building with high high ceilings, the patio is also a great secluded location. I loved the pan con tomate with jamon (get serrano and iberico to compare and contrast). Other standouts were the croquettes and shrimps in guajillo oil with a piping house made baguette for dipping (you should order an additional one too for the heck of it). Paella was delicious of course. I suggest you build your experience around the one of your choosing. Everything was seasoned perfectly, and I wasn’t overstuffed after eating a large meal. It was a great experience.

    Very nice place, not very busy and not noisy. I enjoyed the ambience and the vibe a lot, reminded me of Japan a lot. Will be revisiting, especially during happy hour purely for the ridiculous prices, quantity, and value of food you can get
