A bustling izakaya on bourke street always fully packed. Decided to finally visit after passing by it multiple times. Spacious inside but didn't like how tables were so close to each other. However, service was friendly and prompt - but a bit slow due to lack of staff.
We ordered Maedaya Chips ($5.5), Momo Yakitori ($12), Poke Salad ($10), and a jug of lemon Shochu-Highball also known as Chuhai ($20). My favourite was Momo Yakitori. I wouldn't say it was exactly authentic but they were the freshest and juiciest grilled chicken thighs I've ever had. Each skewer had different flavours: garlic, chili, curry, spicy miso, and herb salt - they all tasted great. Maedaya Chips was also delicious with Ebisu soy sauce sprayed on top finished off with Aonori - savoury with umami twist. We also tried lemon chuhai which was refreshing with a citric kick - didn't taste like alcohol at all! Overall, it was a pleasant dining experience. Will definitely visit again in the near future.
I always go back for assorted vegetable tempura udon, it’s a must have along with the karaage
YUMMMMMM!! Loved the menu variety and every dish was so delicious. Stand out dishes were the tempura and pork belly skewers. Was too busy eating to take anymore photos...
