This is my go-to spot! Def get KATANA FRIES: fries, soy aioli, sweet chili sauce & PORK BELLY (pictured). Wing Wed. (64¢) yum spicy garlic wings (pictured). They got classic Nintendo games too! I stop by daily after yoga at CorePower for the rotating local draft beer list!

Whether in ramen or in sticky buns, they have the best pork belly. Better than at Porkbelly. Two TVs, lots of videogames, big beer selection. Their Japanese ice-cream flight is outstanding. Two single-occupancy bathrooms.

Tasty Ramen and delicious duck buns along with a good selection of local beers on tap. The house pinoit noir is lovely as well.

Delicious Japanese comfort foods with video games set up. The steam bun flight is perfection and definitely recommend the Surf and Turf steam bun or the kurobuta sausage steam bun.

Great place for happy hour or a late night bite. Their buns and octopus are great. Happy hour specials vary daily.

Awesome bar with the perfect casual setting to hang out and enjoy a night with friends. Came here on a Friday night and there were the perfect amount of people there. Fun vibe but enough space at all the tables to hang out and spread out with friends. The tables on the sides are all connected to N-64 game players with old favorites like Mario Kart and Super Smash. So fun and free to play! They've got a bunch of different and unique beers on tap that range from $4-8 on average. Their menu is also unique. You wouldn't expect it but it's all Asian cuisine like ramen and steamed buns. Overall, really fun, chill option in North Park if you're looking for a place to go out but still be able to talk with friends.

I came here last weekend with my friends. It's a chill place and the food was very tasty. It was so good that I order another dish. We sat there and waited close to 30 minutes. Then I finally went up and asked them about my order. The bartender said it would be another 10 minutes. Moments later he bought out my order but it was incorrect. I ended up canceling my order. Today, I decided to go back because the food was really good the last time. But boy, did I ever regret going back….I called ahead of time to see if they can accommodate my large family, which they said would be no problem. From the moment, we got there, it was at least a 30-minute wait for each meal we ordered. They made me feel like they forgot my orders because they had to check with me TWICE! I understand that this is not a restaurant establishment but I had thought that a customer is a customer no matter what kind of establishment it is. I was there for 2 and half hours and most of that time I was waiting for the food to come out. This place is a great spot to hang out. Their food is tasty. Their beer is good. IF they can get their work flow together, this place has a lot of potential.

Great food, delicious beer, fun video games, and a very relaxed atmosphere. Not really sure what else I could ask for! I love to come here and unwind after a long week. Nothing about this place feels forced or unwelcomed. I would very highly recommend the surf-and-turf bun!! (with a side of Mario Kart) Thanks, Austin and Justin. You will see us back many times.
