Had high expectations because of the strong Google reviews and the fact that reservations were required. The interior design is nice and thoughtfully done, and I did enjoy the grilled file fish- probably the highlight of the night. However, the overall experience was disappointing. It felt odd that a bar positioning itself as Japanese-inspired was serving local budget snacks, which didn’t quite match the concept. The menu was overly long with many rules and explanations- perhaps intended to elevate the experience, but it came across as unnecessarily complicated. Most importantly, the cocktails were underwhelming. If you drink cocktails regularly, the lack of refinement and creativity is quite noticeable. The drinks felt rushed, with minimal garnish, average glassware, and little attention to detail. Given the prices they charge, I expected much better execution and effort in both R&D and presentation. Overall, aside from the ambience and the grilled fish, it was a poor cocktail experience- especially for a place branding itself as a cocktail bar.

My partner celebrated my birthday here. Nice ambiance. Good selection of drinks. Plenty of amenities. You’re taken care off in this place! The waiter that served us, explained the Christmas special drink quite well. Helped us with the menu too. Overall it was a really good experience. Will return!

If you know your cocktail, please find another bar to go. All four drinks we ordered are way below expectations for the price. It’s like water down substandard drink with minimum alcohol. The best thing is the Japanese fish jerky. Sad 😞

Found this nice little secret bar while in JB. You need a reservation but we were lucky enough to walk in. Bespoke drinks. Chilled Japanese atmosphere. Amazing drinks. There was a special menu the night we were there and it was quite good. They actually ran out of the specials so we were able to order from their normal menu (which is quite extensive). The Smokey section was nice/our favorite. They have small bites but we didn’t order any. They also have a gum ball machine you can use to select a drink if you don’t know what to pick (kind of fun). Highly recommend…make a reservation bc it’s a small place.

Very nice ambience with a cosy, intimate atmosphere — perfect for a date, to be honest. It feels like a hidden gem once you’re inside. Do note that reservations are required, but it’s definitely worth planning ahead for.
