El lugar es pequeño, pero es cómodo, tiene buen ambiente. La comida estuvo buena, los dumplings de cerdo estaban algo salados pero no es gran cosa para darle un mal feedback

The lounge has a speakeasy feel to it. Both appetizers, ramen, and cocktails were amazing. The Tokyo mule was superb. We sat at the bar which I think is a better choice than the lounge chairs to eat. Bartender was super attentive and friendly. Only downside and surprise was being billed $15 for a Thai bottled beer and learning they sell a $20 canned beer. We learned of this upon paying the bill.

Best food, amazing atmosphere , the kindest and a nicest staff ever! It’s my favorite place to visit if I could I’d go everyday ❤️ You have to try the drinks they’re insanely good. Seriously don’t think twice about it just make a reservation and stop by its totally worth and you’ll love it as much as I do.

Really great service, even if the place was full the waiters were always there checking us if we needed something, asked the bartender for a specific drink (whiskey sour) did really well on preparing the drink, not many places know how to prepare one.

Great food, small portion compared to the traditional bowl. Be ready for a heavy bill and no deserts(at least not on the menu, nor offered). Good music, glow in the dark artwork definitely adds to the experience. Not a fan of eating in the cold(Bring a Jacket). Shoyu Ramen the flavors are all there, the crunch of the pork belly and the flavor of homemade noodles was so comforting 😋, but I almost felt like eating an appetizer(Small). 😬 Dumplings.. 4 Dumplings. Service was polite and helpful. But my party did need attention and we didn't want to be rude.🙏🏻 P.S.: I have been excited and looking forward to this dinner experience for months, following the social media, asked multiple opinions and wanted to finally form my own. Although I have my thoughts I look forward to going back for the 2nd review(maybe it was an off night).🌺

Superó nuestras expectativas. El eel sushi, los dumplings y unos taquitos soft shell de pork wow riquísimo todo. El servicio bien atentos, amigables y rápidos. El ambiente me encantó con la decoración, la temática, la iluminación y música con motivo japonés. Sentía que estaba en otro país…loved it! Lo recomiendo 100%! Gracias y sigan así manteniendo esa calidad de experiencia. Cool hidden jewel at Santurce!

Tremendo lugar. Esta escondido pero el ambiente esta brutal para comer y darse unos drinks un poco unicos. Lo unico que tienen que estar pendiente que no tienen estacionamiento dedicado, y hay que estacionar en la calle pero vale la pena. Hagan reservacion para estar seguro que tengan espacio

Food was absolutely delicious! Could have had more attention / awareness from our waitress, but the bar staff checked in and was helpful. Definitely a place that requires a reservation in advance by 1-2 days in some cases. Gets super busy! Overall, loved the ambiance/vibe and the variety and flavor of the various menu items!
