The food was beautifully presented and as delicious as it was visually appealing! My husband and I had been wanting to go to the one in Tukwila, but noticed they had the Bellevue one open as well. There was plenty of parking and seating, and not overwhelming like their more popular Tukwila restaurant.

Solid late night spot. The interior design is so cute and really makes the ambience. Only thing I noticed is how bland some of the dishes are. Entrees like the wagyu bowl, spicy ramen, and chirashi were unfortunately bland. BUT! The appetizers/sides are full of flavor and the refillable coca cola is literally the BEST handmade coke i’ve ever tasted.

Always a good experience here. The servers are kind and attentive and food comes out at the perfect temperature. Flavors are nicely balanced to pair well with other items. Looking forward to the next visit already

This is a great place to go and just eat at your own pace. The concept they have makes it really easy to just keep ordering whenever you want until you are full. All the food was super flavorful and came out warm. The location was very clean, but parking can be a bit difficult so be prepared to walk or great at parking! My only other recommendation would be to make a reservation a head of time. We were very glad to have done so as people were getting turned away at the door.

Food was average. Meat skewers were under seasoned and dry. Given the high ratings from other reviewers it felt like a let down.

Went to this restaurant on a Friday evening. Highly recommend making reservations on their website. Fortunately, we had a reservation and a table was waiting for us. Others that walked in were told at least a hour wait time. I found out about this place on social media. At first glance, the food looks spectacular. As others said, it has an izakaya vibe. The decor is really cozy. The food, voted by me and my wife is 3.5 - 4.0. There are other Japanese restaurants nearby with better tasting dishes. We ordered a salmon donburi, gyu kaku, and chicken karaage. The salmon was good but lacked flavor, very plain but at least didn't taste fishy. The karaage was good but not a fish that I'm desiring to have again soon. The guy kaku used prime beef that was delicious and tender. The sauce was salty for my taste and there was too much of it. Overall, good restaurant but I prefer other places.

I had a wonderful experience here. Feels like an upscale, elevated izakaya. The foi groie dishes are really delicious. The beef don with egg yolk was super delish. I enjoyed the ramen very much as well. Everything was delicious and thoughtfully crafted
