Noah W.Noah Weiss: Fun take on a Japanese Izakaya from the famous O Ya team, with a Tokyo hipster vibe and tasty cocktails with lots of tiki drinks. The warm 'rando' section was great: curry noodle + oyako rice bowl.

Lindsay D.Lindsay D'Andrea: I am torn. Really cool space, but the small plates rack up a cost I don't feel justifies the meal. Drinks are whimsical in name and ingredients but sometimes don't come together.

Elaine C.Elaine Courtney: Pro: If you're a Kiko Mizuhara fan her photos are all over the women's bathroom stalls. Con: if you're human the level of salt content in food here will LITERALLY kill you. Decisions, decisions.
