The unagi here was delicious. The restaurant was not spacious, but for one chef paying expensive rent, it was okay. He could not understand English well, but seemed to get what we said. Not really recommended for people that don’t

Stumbled across this in a hidden alley by chance but found really good unagi meal. Try the simmered unagi
