Interesting Japanese small plates with an absurdly large whiskey collection. The custom bar is a sight to behold..... at happy hour, everything is like 50% off

Great food at a larger than life price.... izakaya food that feels like you are in japan...style over substance....inventive sashimi creations. fresh fish and a great cocktail menu all served up in an upscale setting...

+ ample parking all around

Awesome venue for private parties - private bottle room, with couches, little tables, and own bathroom!

YELP FAVE

The place does not look like much from the outside, however once inside you get the fusion style of a place. very cool, very lofty and sofa's for bigger groups and a great bar.
Let's start with the whiskey's... 450+ brands of this alcohol. I didn't even know that there that many out there. No worries if you are not a whiskey fan, this place has a cocktail list that puts many upper lounges to shame. I personally drank a Luxury Mojito and as I have mentioned in previous reviews, I am a Miami guy, but this one had Sake and Champagne, hence the luxury part... BTW, at happy hour this drink cost $5 dollas... My princess ordered a lychee martini and loved it.
So, now the food, and BTW 50% off for happy hr. So we ordered some Octopus with some cucumber sauce, Delish, ordered wings, not bad, got some Yellowtail jaws, very nice flavor. Then we ordered mussels, Stop right there, Now so great Skanky taste and the couple next to us said the same. Don't order here, go to North Beach for that.
Net net, Great time, I will definitely go back. Happy hour here with my girl was a very good time...---Mojitoman V. New to SF looking to have fun 9/12/2009
