Grilled eel was nice, just that we ordered one bigger size and one smaller but turns out the eel given were not noticibly difference which makes me regret for paying more for the big one

The Unagi here is very good. It melts in your mouth and the sauce is not too salty or too sweet, it’s just right. The rice tasted really good too. It goes well with the fish. Another thing I really recommended is Tamagoyaki. It’s soooooooo soft like eating a cloud and not too sweet.
Their Yakitori is also very tasty. It cooked beautifully so it’s so tender and juicy.
Reservation is commended since the restaurant is busy since the opening hour. Staffs can speak some English. They’re really a cute group of oba-chan that’s very friendly and enthusiastic. Very cute!😆

Be sure to come early. We came 30mins before opening time, and people already started queuing. Also be ready to order as soon as seated!
