My mother and I visited the store together. His service was very kind, and he entertained us a lot. The Mexican pizza he recommended was excellent, especially with fresh tomatoes and a crispy crust. He even fulfilled our song requests, making it a truly enjoyable evening. Thank you very much.

This place has a very relaxed atmosphere and will allow for a pleasant time with friends. He mixes really good cocktails (I like the salty dog!), and his beer is always ice cold. It is only one person so the service can be slow, but he’s super cheerful and happy, and so enthusiastic about practicing English! His food is also amazing! The entrees are reasonably priced and filling. The Bolognese and the curry pizza are both really tasty, and a serving of fries is enough for a large group to share!

During our 2 week vacation to Tokyo we went here twice because we loved it so much! Not only is happy hour lots of fun and reasonably priced drinks and amazing food, the jazz music and friendly host make this a great experience. Wherever you are in Tokyo, this is worth your time.

It's near my workplace and it's a good place to grab dinner and drinks. Cozy place where you can chat, good music, and a humble owner who will greet you in English/Japanese!
