Came across this place when walking trying to find dinner with a friend. It looked really cool, with tables at the front sunk into the ground. We ended up sitting at the back, probably because we didn't have a reservation.

They had a paper ordering system similar to some yum cha places, where you colour in what you want to order. We shared all the food and my friend got the drink - I'm not actually sure how the drink was, I forgot to ask her.

The food was good. The takoyaki was pretty as expected. The sushi roll was good but not, like, crazy. Nothing wrong with it though, it was nice and crispy and tasted fine. The unagi was weirdly chewy??? We couldn't really figure out what was going on with that. It was also fine. 

This place was good but not like. life changing.
