They have a great varied selection of kushiyaki (grilled sticks) and some strange unagi bits / offal.Good atmosphere and they have an English menu.
Would recommend booking - the place was full on a Wed evening and without a booking we waited around 15mins (tho no queues). Takeaway is also avail.

My Japanese friend said the soup came with eel intestine. We were served a soft tofu starter as part of the set. We also tried the smer seasonal unagi chazuke which was ok
Chairs are small and narrow so not as comfortable.
Nice traditional atmosphere with Japanese customers
I would come back and eat the unagi again
