This place was great, from the food to the decor to the service. I got some fried tofu thing, some fried taro balls, and beef udon soup. All of it was great, especially the udon.
The staff all seemed very friendly and enthusiastic, and the restaurant really gave off the vibe of places you'd find in Japan.
As an addendum, I really liked that I could see from my seat at the bar, them cooking stuff over coals. One of the cooks was even nice enough to let me try a stick of this chicken and onion thing, it smelled and tasted fantastic, I didn't get the cook's name but thank you, whoever you are!
Also, this place has got those fancy Japanese toilets, they're awesome.
The food was fantastic and the menu has tons of great choices. I had the 10 piece chef selection yakitori and it was great! Don't be afraid to try the chicken skin, it's damn good. There was a mix up when ordering another item, but they just opened and I ended up liking what they brought me. So no harm no foul. I can't wait to go back and try more!
Fun place and amazing food, especially the atmosphere is fantasy!!! Never see this style izakaya in Michigan, Katsu is the first one and the best for sure. Service is professional to explain everything for first time visit like us. Definitely must go place if you like to try something new and cool. I am glad to see Detroit is getting better and better.
Beautiful and unique place. The food is incredible. I have been 4 times and each time is better than the last. A lot of the struggles of being brand new seem to have been addressed. From the moment you walk down the back entryway and I to the door you are on an authentic journey into Japanese culture and food! Love it!
I know the place is brand new - but, maybe they should have had a few more soft openings. The place is very cool in feel and acutrements and the staff is well trained and friendly - but, the food wasn't very good. One example, our "main course" - a chef's selection of five skewers from a pool of about 12 choices - was very disappointing. Two of them were so overcooked as to be hard little dry nuggets in our mouths. We had a noodle dish that was decent but that was it. I'll wait for some positive reviews before I go back.
