A popular place with the locals for comfort, Japanese food.Non-halal (serves pork and alcohol).They have a nice butadon dish here, definitely recommend it. They have regulars, including Japanese customers and servers are very attentive. If you're a regular, they remember you and your orders ;)They serve rice, noodles, skewers, a la carte, appetisers, etc.

My favorite izakaya to hang out for a quick bite and beer after doing grocery at Taman Desa Danau. Been visiting here for more than 3 years and often see the Japanese owner entertain his Japanese customers. That definitely reminds me of the good time I had in some izakaya at Kansai. Personally i love their beef skewer and fried chicken skin with ponzu sauce. Their Sapporo draught beer is always cool enough and a good fix for recent hot nights .

This place hits all the right notes for me. Sashimi, yakitori, rolls, that amazing pork belly rice and yes, Sapporo ice cold beers highballs. And not as expensive as hamasho in Hartamas. There is a yakitori place nearby that is good as well but this izakaya has more variety in its offerings.

Ambiance is like an izakaya but the food choices is varied and suitable for any taste buds including for the whole family. Service is fast and reliable and there are interesting sets and hard to come by dishes which is great. The ramen broth I tried was very hearty and rich, the grilled meats were well seasoned and flavourful. Prices is extremely affordable for what you get.Food: 5/5Ambiance: 4/5Service: 5/5Parking: 4/5Price: 4/5

One of those that I return to occasionally.Most consistent quality and items are fairly priced.Yakitori is a must.Beer is extremely cold. Who doesn’t like a cold beer eh?Chicken Karaage. Awesome.So far the only complains I have is the Takoyaki but everything else is great.Friendly and polite staffs too. Hard to find in today’s world.
